Isn't it strange the way someone dies and suddenly everybody becomes a fan. He has something like 26 albums racing up the charts. 'Everybody knows me now' indeed! Still, kind of cool that Bowie is getting out there and if it can change more lives, then that is great. I've been a bit down after the death, but I finally sat down and listened to the new album properly and it is excellent. I also love how Bowie has had himself cremated already as he didn't want a fuss. It's not just the music, but a code of conduct. Bowie is someone to admire because he seems to have been a really cool person as well as the greatest musical artist in music history. I don't say that lightly, his body of work is unmatched. Also a hysterically funny person too. Some are talking about other tracks made before his death and about what is in the vaults, but I am happy with what we have. It is a great body of work and even if you are not a fan I am sure you would find something in there that you do like simply because of the range of the work.

To know that Bowie wanted to start work on another new album only a week before his death shows his incredible commitment. He had 5 songs ready and said 'one more album', but then he got sick and it was the end, but to know that was on his mind, is just extraordinary. I was really upset earlier in this thread, but now I feel strangely positive knowing Bowie went out on his own terms and that he spoke to his fans through the art.

Keep hearing about this now: him and nearly every other star from those times: Beatles ,Zepplin,Stones dont know of any that didnt have something dark in the groupie closet.

The Complicated Sexual History of David Bowie

Rock star has sex with women ...... Shock horror!!!

At 15 when he was in his 20's its still Pedophilia. Jimmy Page had the same girl locked away for a year so he could use her and not get caught out for it too. That was par for that course back then but really
you guys may as well Let Rolf Harris out if that how you all feel about groupies.

one of the all time greats. Very sad news from one of his biggest fans.

I like this story as it helps show up a rather pretentious industry, where no one has the confidence to say: "I have no knowledge of this" whilst showing Bowie's mischievous side and ability to sell his brand.

I've not posted in this thread purposely up until now

Bowies death has absolutely crippled me, if David Bowie can die then anyone can, when I found out he'd gone I just sat one the edge of my bed at 6:30am questioning everything, Bowie, how the fuck can he be dead

I text my dad and told him, he didn't believe me, I text my mate and he was just as shocked as me, then I started getting texts from loads of people who knew how much I loved him, I was fucking gutted, for the last week or so I've been in mourning, its horrible, I thought when Lou Reed went I was crippled but old Lou has nothing on Bowie.

Yeah he did some shit but up until diamond dogs you can't say a bad word about him, and I have always put labrynth in my top three films of all tim.

The goblin king has passed, I just hope that now sarah, Ludo and Hoggle can breathe easy

And the other thing about Bowie's death, I can;t believe that I havent heard Mott the Hoople mentioned anywhere, HE GAVE THEM ALL THE YOUNG DUDES FFS

Funny that this thread should be resurrected now, I've been listening to Bowie pretty much exclusively over the last few weeks, I can't stop listening to Station to Station and Heroes.

Strange to thing that soon it'll be 3 years since he died.

Also 2 years for George Michael.

Lots of great albums, but Station to Station is the one I return to most. How you come up with something like that is beyond me. The guitars howl and scream, the vocals otherworldly, the subject matter dense and dark. I consider it a twin album of Blackstar which I think comes from a similar place. They are both staring into the abyss albums with long title tracks, fewer and longer tracks, and a real longing to connect in some way.
