JeanGenie Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I admire him for being able to age with dignity and not doing the same "last" revival tour like the rolling stones who have become the second best rolling stones coverband. Bowie is enjoying his life and I wish him some healthy and good years with his wife and his kid. He's been sucha versatile ever changing artist in any sense of the word that doing a Ziggy Stardust tour would be disgusting. Not to speak of that a man in his 60's looks ridiculous in a Ziggy outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 AFD-era Axl is like a mix of Ziggy-era Bowie and Raw Power-era Iggy y'know. Probably that's why he's so good.Shhh! Blasphemer! No one is like unto Iggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is like unto Iggy well, yeah. but still. best comparison I can imagine, unlike people comparing him to steven tyler and whatnot. I prefer both bowie and iggy to axl nowadays, but axl is still one of my favourites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 He should do a Ziggy Stardust tour. It would be unexpected and new to a lot of people that there would be nothing "nostalgia tour" about it. It wasn't even a true "concept album", but would be interesting if he "ripped himself off" from those days and came up with a "follow up". It's almost like a "what if Syd Barrett came out of retirement" story, and just develop this back story of what Ziggy's been up to the past 37 years. I know he likes living in the present when it comes to his music, but it would be interesting to see if he could pull it off.After having heart problems on the Reality tour it's probable he won't ever tour again, he hasn't even recorded since.I don't think that the angioplasty is the reason he hasn't toured. He's in self-imposed retirement and prob. overseeing how the back catalog's being handled, and throwing an acting gig in here and there. He's a true artist - if he has no interest in creating something, he doesn't do it. I'm sure he gets scripts every day, including voiceover work. One thing him and Sebastian Bach have in common - they've worked on Spongebob Squarepants. John Mellencamp had heart issues, quit smoking and still tours. I'm sure he's enjoyed the attention his son (the former Zowie Bowie, then Joe, now Duncan Jones) has gotten for directing "Moon", and that whole movie was a true "Space Oddity". Most people just saw that movie on its own merits, and he's come into his own as a good director. And he wants to make a sci-fi movie in....Berlin. I wouldn't be surprised if he went with his dad to watch some of the movies being filmed, and just drew like a moth to a flame to the director's chair.
