stop flirting with me, honey bee.

i have no reason to flirt with you.
|
i was just thinking about how much i like david bowie today.
|
just to be clear i like some of his stuff, but he seriously has caused many bad things to happen.
|
I'm rather on and off with David Bowie. He's in the same nebulous category as The Rolling Stones except I think I like Bowie more.
The Bowie songs I do like, though, I love. |

The world would be a horrible place without his first 12 albums. |
I always want to love Bowie, really I do, but whenever I come back to him he disappoints me. I'm going to be totally unoriginal and say he should've retired after Scary Monsters.
There's a lot parallels between him and Madonna, in terms of having enough of a finger on the pulse of popular entertainment that they pick up on an emerging trend soon enough that when they co-opt it it doesn't look like bandwagon jumping. |
"heroes" is possibly my favorite song of all time.
Quote:
exactly. that's his genius is his changeability. no one would be talking about him if he had just kept on with his ziggy stardust thing forever. it's too novel to last forever. |
I want to be facetious and say that mine is The Laughing Gnome, but I'll resist. But I will say, without facetiousness, that the Ziggy Live album is one of my favourite live albums of all time.

Except he was awesome in the 70s. You don't have to like his new stuff to love him. |
That is weird, I'm reading the bowie thread, and bowie randomly comes on on my itunes. Rebel, Rebel. Yeah!
|
he didn't ruin the stooges. raw power wouldn't be what it is without him (granted that from a technical standpoint his mixes sucked but they made the album what it is, which is a brilliant piece of work.) the stooges were on their way out anyway, iggy was so debilitated from all the smack.

dance magic dance

This is my favorite Bowie video:

Iggy would be dead from smack if Bowie never met him, and we wouldn't have The Idiot or Lust for Life. And that would be a shame. |

:D |
funhouse is my favorite still but i mean come on. raw power kicks the shit out of 90% of the records being released now.
|
whatever. everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
|
Gimme me danger little stranger, let me feeeeel your diseeease.
Raw Power has always been my favorite Stooges......fuck. |
you can't beat 1970 though.
|
All 3 are fucking great.....the self titled is very close behind Raw Power for me. Then there is Fun House which is rediculously good as well. It is a pretty tough Holy Trinity to defeat.

Quote:
1970 is still really, really hard to beat. |

Are you quoting Toilet & Bowels again? I love Bowie till Scary Monsters. I can do without the rest that came out after those records, save for the odd song. I care little about the impact that he's had on the world, because he's only influential on musicians, not exactly the world as a whole. |
I love Bowie. I even like the Let's Dance album, which most fans hate. If you slow down "China Girl" on a turntable with adjustable speed, it's like Iggy on ludes.
But yeah, Bowie = good. |
Quote:
Did you know that some of the drumming on that song was created by Brian Eno (or was it Robert Fripp?) by hitting an ashtray with a pen? |
I think all of Fripp's contribution was the weird prolonged feedback.
|
Quote:
Technically speaking that's not feedback but Fripp playing the guitar with an E-Bow. |

Mr Bowie will always have a warm and fuzzy place in my heart.
A mutual love for 'Life on Mars' was one of the main things that broke the ice between myself and a certain 17 year old beauty named Carol. We've been together for over 30 years now, with a son, a grandson and another on the way. Bowie can do no wrong in my eyes (although he was skating on thin ice with that Tin Machine nonsense) |

Steady on there!:D |
