Reply to: The David Bowie appreciation thread

[darmstadt]

Saw him quite a few years ago on what was apparently meant to be his last tour. You could write in to the NME with a list of songs and the top n many would be what he would play, so basically a greatest hits concert. IIRC, Laughing Gnome was right there at the top but he refused to play it but was still a great concert. Hoping to get over to the UK before August to catch the Bowie exhibition at the V&A



(Mind you "Where Are We Now" was pants)

One of the few A list musos I worked with who wasn't a prick.

Never liked his music though so wasn't a fan.

Could I ask a Bowie fan to

(a) print the lyrics to any Bowie song.
(b) Explain what the ... he's on about?

I just about get 'Laughing Gnome', maybe 'Fashion', but all this stuff about little green wheels, fun to funky, time falling wanking to the floor, Mickey Mouse is now a cow ...

Its meritricious bollux, isn't it?

Take a chill pill.

BTW watch the documentary it may help

There was a documentary on Saturday night about his career.

Which you can view on iPlayer and laugh at all the terrible clothes that other people wore.

I can't fault you guys' suggestions, but I just had another thought...

Under Pressure (Queen & David Bowie)

....a good candidate for best duet of all time? What else comes close?

Does it count as a duet, Queen being 4 separate people?

[AtW]

"Under pressure" is very good also.

I preferred Dancing on the Street, Bowie and Jagger.

You watched that last night as well then Bwana.

I like lots of his tracks but I can't think of a favourite.

Great music, but I thought he was a bit of an arse.

[milanbenes]

I have his greatest hits

Whats the one where he says

Shes got amazing legs blah blah blah
Rings on her fingers blah blah

Thats my fav

Milan.

I like Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
The whole album really but especially Scary Monsters

It has always reminded me of spiders which I do not like very much but also it's just bloody good.
