RIP David Bowie
Every so often someone from your younger years passes away and it almost hits you like a brick wall that life is only a passing moment however rich and famous you are.
One of the greats of the seventies and early eighties without a shadow of a doubt.
This is one of my fave songs of all time.

Re: RIP David Bowie
I'll be honest here - I have no idea about him or his music although his name is one I knew of as the greats.
Still sad to hear news of anyone passing away though. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones

Re: RIP David Bowie
He was one of the few greats of music. Many come and go but his influence in all aspects of music can't be underestimated to be honest. He constantly reinvented himself and the music he created. Many famous people come and go, he didn't.
I only liked some of his stuff I have to say, but a true artist. RIP.

Re: RIP David Bowie
I was never a fan. I can listen to his stuff but I've never felt tempted to buy any of it.

Re: RIP David Bowie
I loved his stuff, and im with Duke 'Heroes' is my favourite track, he wasn't afraid to try different stuff which I admit not all of it I was keen on but still what a legend. RIP David

Re: RIP David Bowie
David Bowie's music was my favourite listening.
I was never interested in owning my own music, but I made an exception in the case of Bowie. The Scary Monsters and Super Creeps album was my entire record collection.!
Still don't know what I was waiting for,
And my time was running wild.
A million dead end streets and,
Every time I thought I'd got it made,
It seemed the taste was not so sweet.
So I turned myself to face me,
But I've never caught a glimpse of,
How the others must see the faker,
I'm much too fast to take that test.
I watch the ripples change their size,
But never leave the stream,
Of warm impermanence.
So the days float through my eyes,
But still the days all seem the same,
And these children that you spit on,
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations,
They're quite aware of what they're going through...:
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older,
Time may change me,
But I can't trace time.
I said that time may change me,
But I can't trace time.......

Re: RIP David Bowie
I think its fair to say he was one of, if not THE, most influential musician of the 1970s.
Influenced glam rock, punk and new wave, new romantics and also the synthesizer music of the early eighties.

Re: RIP David Bowie
We're going to have to disagree on this. He was a follower of new trends when it came to music, not a starter. He's admitted that himself. He was commercially successful with the stuff he did so his changes of style and music went to a big audience, but he borrowed heavily from the scenes he mixed with.duke63 wrote:I think its fair to say he was one of, if not THE, most influential musician of the 1970s.

Re: RIP David Bowie
Everyone borrows from somewhere and turns it into their own style but without any doubt he influenced more musicians that made a career from music than any other of that era.
He's been name checked by artists as varied as Roxy Music, Sex Pistols, Boy George, Spandau Ballet, Iggy Pop, Kanye West...

Re: RIP David Bowie
I have to say a very big loss to the music industry as a whole, and not to jump on any band wagon but Heros is up with my all time favs, I always sing out loud when it's on when I am in the car lol...
How long until channel 4 or 5 stick on the film The man who fell to earth.... Strange one that one was.
Rest in peace Mr Jones...

Re: RIP David Bowie
Always came along with something different - and it was always good, not the same old stuff decade after decade like a lot out there, but a fresh thinking guy that was willing to take a risk on new ideas, I heard/saw an interview with him in the early to mid nineties, he was experimenting with selling his music on the World Wide Web before it got properly mainstream. Not always my cup of tea (Ashes to Ashes ), but never satisfied with his Status Quo.
Oh and he married (and kept) a Supermodel.....

Re: RIP David Bowie
You can pick all the 40+ blokes on the forum by this thread I'm just waiting for Rossgo to come on and ask who we are talking about
I'm pretty much the same as the general consensus, loved some of his stuff, not so keen on some, and that movie he did with the puppets freaked me right out for some reason. Golden Years was one of my fav's, probably because it's on the Trainspotting album and I thrashed the heck out of that album.

Re: RIP David Bowie
Is that a canoe in his pocket or is he pleased to see someone? (Woof Woof!)
P.S Anyone remember the "Black Russian"?

P.P.S. Apologies for subverting the Bowie thread, but as you can see from Itchy's post, he had a sense of humour.
