axl04 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Really talented, very inovative, and he successfully kicked a drug habit to have himself a family.I can't really picked one song but Sound And Vision and Cat People (Putting Out Fire) are excellent and underated songsSo who else like Ziggy Stardust?

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Nearly started a Bowie thread myself, I love Ziggy Stardust and have listened to Low 3 times today. Bowie is it for me right now, thanks to Genesis' advice. Edited March 22, 2006 by Ohdistortedsmile1789 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl04 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Nice. I owe my love of Bowie to my dads friend who is an uber-fan. Ziggy Stardust is great. That whole era changed the face and style of rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I love Glam, it's probably my favorite style of rock. But Bowie was so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Patten Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I think bowie's really overrated, average at best for me, i've never been able to get into him, espescially lets dance, that ruined the 80's full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallic ko Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Fuck yeah. Love David Bowie. Especially his work with Iggy Pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IthinkaboutU Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 i love all Bowie especially 80's cheese that he himself admits he really doesn't care for. i don't care i'm not too cool to crank up "Modern Love" or "Blue Jean " and shake what i got. Modern love kicks ass, maybe i should sew some huge shoulder pads into my jacket then the dance will be complete!!! lol at myself!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The only man to really reinvent himself successfully in different ways. Bit duff after Let's Dance, but anything before is fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 To be honest I love the Let's Dance phase he had a crunchy voice and Steve Ray Vaughan playing for him.Some people might call it a sell-out so fucking what? Let's Dance is still better than the whole 80's camouflage hair metal crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Niveen Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 "Quicksand" would be a great cover on Chinese Democracy ! What a great song !I've been listening to that song (Hunky Dory album) like 26 times today. It fits Axl's style.If there's one cover on CD, this one would be appropriate !

"Quicksand" would be a great cover on Chinese Democracy ! What a great song !actually this is a great and underrated song. I love it. Hunky Dory is a class record.See Genesis ? JeanGenie agrees.Axl doesn't use to screw up the songs he covers. "Quicksand" would be perfect : the melody and specially the lyrics fit Axl's defeated tone (The Blues, Madagascar, etc). "Life On Mars?" wouldn't fit so well.David Bowie - Quicksand Lyrics I'm closer to the Golden Dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform Of imagery I'm living in a silent film Portraying Himmler's sacred realm Of dream reality I'm frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't got the power anymore No I ain't got the power anymore I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny I'm torn between the light and dark Where others see their targets Divine symmetry Should I kiss the viper's fang Or herald loudthe death of Man I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore[CHORUS]Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comeswith death's release I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with the potential of a superman I'm living on I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien Can't take my eyes from the great salvation Of bullshit faith If I don't explain what you ought to know You can tell me all about it On, the next BardoI'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore Edited March 24, 2006 by Alan Niveen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest katie Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 i really like his little wonder phase, and to be a cliche rebel rebel is still one of my favourites, along with 1984and axl would cock up any bowie song, it just wouldn't work-some things should be left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
