David Bowie Is - Noel Gallagher 

I spent about 20 mins chatting to David Bowie once in the 70's. He was the most ordinary, pleasant and easy person to talk to. Not even a hint of ego.

Bowie is the only person in the whole universe that Noel somehow considers cooler than himself.

I still haven't come to terms with Bowie's passing. I remember space oddity on countdown as a child. Ashes to ashes was magical - the music and the film clip. Modern love as a thirteen year old and I got the Lets Dance album on cassett. It took me to another place. Then at sixteen, my cousin gave me the scary monsters and ziggy stardust albums. From then I couldn't get enough and could not believe how much great stuff he had. I was continually amazed as I discovered song after song and lost myself in his music. Such a big part of my childhood, adolescence and teen years. I spent countless hours sketching his portrait and I purchased the Bowie Song Book and attempted to play every song from Life on Mars to All The Madmen. I couldnt play piano. I couldnt read music I just let the chord diagrams guide me. As an adult, I continued to enjoy his music - old and new. He was a gifted soul indeed and touched so many lives. When he passed I felt I lost a big part of myself, my story. Bowie was the soundtrack to my life.

So true..."there's not enough dancing in the world." I miss my Starman. As a die hard Bowie fan I love the 80's Bowie as well...but I love 70's Bowie...as a matter of fact, I appreciate and love not only his musical genius but also his brilliant creative mind across the Whole Universe of Bowie.

He's right. Bowie had such a unique and unmistakable voice.

He was a legend r i p David Bowie

Bowie legend Gallagher legend in the making both very gifted men.

This is really sweet, it’s lovely to hear Noel going all fanboy about Bowie! I was so sure he was going to say Heroes as his one favourite song, Let’s Dance was a bit of a curveball!

David Bowie had it all, well never see another like him. I can remember exactly where I was when I heard he had passed away.

Thanks to everyone who talks about him, very interesting stories. As Sir Terry Pratchett said, A man's not dead while his name is still spoken. Maybe a bit out of context, but the line is brilliant. With his songs and his name spoken he probably will live on for a very long time.

There's not enough dancin in the world! How true is that! 😊

They always talk about Bowie being ahead of the game, always moving forward but all anyone ever did was ask him about his past!

Bowie had a really unique voice. Technically others were better, but he had an extraordinary ability to express extremely subtle emotions through his voice.

I love hearing Noel talk about meeting Bowie the first time at Glasto in '94. He regretted he didn't feel the enormity of the occasion in hindsight.

Let’s Dance for me. My route into Bowie as a 17 year old, his previous material passed me by as i was too young. Didn’t stop me going back and rediscovering it all. My icon. Talented, great voice and best of all, an amazing sense of humour. Took his work seriously, never took himself seriously. Laugh out loud funny. Watch his later interviews, so good. He was whacked out in the 70s.

Bowie's music will last forever,

Weather you like it or not its a song that take people back to a certain part of their life and reminds them of what they was up to that summer.

Im a massive bowie fan but i really like oasis also, listen up is my favourite oasis song and the distress tweets at the start of do you know what i mean,that last bit was pure class noel,cheers

I love Noel Gallagher and Liam so to see this absolutely melted my heart he’s such a gentleman 🥺

I'm a 'Bowie diehard' and I love 'Let's Dance' it's a fabulous album. There are several very strong tracks on it. My favourite is 'Ricochet' because it's weird and I like weird.

Bowie charismatic nature was magic 🪄

Let's dance has to be a masterpiece ( of pop songs) as it was made by legends : -Lyrics / Song by David Bowie - Riff guitar by Nile Rodgers - Solo guitar by Stevie Ray Vaughan

🌠Hi!! Always is amazing hear news about life David Bowie!! Thank you for that!🌾

Bowie was an innovator for sure! I love his whole “Philadelphia Soul” period. Young Americans, etc are some of my fav albums. I like his 80’s stuff too…….I was 14 or 15 when “Let’s Dance” came out.

I love listening to you noel, can't explain it as well as some people but I would listen to you over most people because it's from the heart, very similar to me and a lots of others

Ashes to Ashes one of my best ones.Lets dance is phhh no time for

"It would have to be Let's Dance". Bowie connoisseur meets musicologist.

Thanks Noel, great talk about a great man 👍

Wild is the Wind..... 🌪️

Bowie was and is my only Hero in the show biz industry

One and only⚡️ ❤️

I don't much care for Let's Dance - not because it's "pop", not because the word "dance" is in it, not because it's one of his most popular records, but because, for the genius songwriter that is David Bowie, it's not all that, really. In the case of 99% of other writers it would be a landmark, but not for Bowie.

”David? Who's David?" 😂🤣

Oasis was my era and at the time you just had to be there to understand how massive and culturally relevant they were. But Noel is right, Bowie was unique, his legacy is just incredible. It’s not about decades, the man put out exceptional music, constantly evolving with the times but always ahead of the curve. Sorely missed ✌️

David Bowie is the G.O.A.T.

❤️Bowie.

Yes.

"Let's Dance... because... there's not enough dancing in the world." For such a grumpy Northern bastard (said with love) who always says his songs/lyrics don't mean anything, Noel can be quite poetic sometimes.

As he said "Let's Dance" my thought was " Let's Dance" , and I am a Bowie Die Hard..... Good one Noel. 👍👍⚡️❤️

When I was growing up in the 70s I didn't rate bowie but as I got older and listen to the lyrics I realised there are people who make music and there are people who shape music and bowie was definitely the latter

THX Noel!

Bowie, like Prince is a genuine one off artist.

i've always have been a huge fan of david bowie: r i p to a living legend. xoxo princess

I’d go for Little Wonder , loved the Earthing album

🕊❤️🦋

This IS the official DB page, isn’t it? I thought it was, but, if so, I don’t understand why there are only 1.34 million subscribers! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤯

True.

Uau 😍😍

IN MEMORY OF THE SLAIN HERO AND HIS RESURRECTION You roared like a Lion in Manhattan, you spent all your money and lived like a king...you fought the battles of the Lord and came to destitution. You cried out in the gates of the city like a leper Messiah, and none gave heed to your call except the outcasts and dregs of society. You gathered them together as a shepherd gathers his sheep...they came to life at your words, your art and your reckless abandon of all convention. You piped a wondrous tune and the light of light entered into them. You fell into the shadow of death and " looked for his ass". You flew from Station to Station like a demon in your mad quest for redemption--- you redeemed others, yet you didn't redeem yourself. How have the mighty fallen! Your days passed like a shadow,yet you fought the evil eye of Sauron...you fought the wild beasts in the forests of Mordor....the hordes of Gog and Magog descended upon you. They surrounded you like maddened bees, yet you cut them off in the name of the Lord. But Gog had the upper hand and slew you...he desecrated your body, he infested your temple with the wasting disease! Yet you held on to the last and made an everlasting memory of your strife, the cries of your art told the tale of your war, it told the gospel of your death, it published the news of your ascension...here you are, dwelling in heaven, no scars to be seen...here you are, one magical movement from Keter to Malkuth! Here you are, you fly like an angel from Station to Station! Fly on you crazy diamonds, and arise from the dust...the time of your warfare is past... He walks among us like a god among men...and who can tell his tale? He was not regarded by the high and mighty, he was cast off as a freak of nature....yet he gathered the outcasts of Israel...his memory endures forever! He will be given the spoils of war, he will be raised and exalted more than he ever was during the days of his mortality...he is the hope of all of those who have fallen in battle! Shine on, shine on you mad Man, you Hero, you Lazarus, you Blackstar!

👍👏

All good choices Noel.

Life on Mars takes some beating.

Nice one noel

Good

🤟🏻

Ha, I once knew a girl, who had different shaped pupils. A bit like Bowie. However, I never knew anyone, who could write like him.

色々な影響を受けていることが分かる。何を言っているのかわからんけど、Heroesカバーしてるもんね！

Width of a Circle

David Bowie is alive, Stephen.

Even Bowie himself hated his 80s "Phil Collins era" I believe is how he coined it ??

Odd choice but that's taste for ya. I always go back to "Five Years."

Gods like Lennon & Bowie ⚡️

Are those statues of Liam behind him??

sad i was interested in his music but then i found out he died of cancer and then i was sad because he died he made good music with good talent

this is HEARTBREAKING... was trying to forget noel existed, now he shows up under david bowies channel.... day ruined

....to each his own

Haha, Let’s Dance

No one goes near Bowie he was a genius

David Bowie is Noel Gallagher??? ◉_◉

Looked like Noel had a difficult moment naming more than three Bowie songs. I guess he is not a real fan of Bowie which would be fine of course. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe it was just in the moment. I would be surprised if he really rated Let's dance over Heroes or The man who sold the world.

He’s got different eye colours !! Tory Noel

A snail and a tortoise will forever be strangers. Just don't bother asking either. if you want to know the difference, ask your Grandad.

Was modern love yesterday

Diamond dogs for me today.

Bowie is the greatest just behind The Beatles

Who is David?

isn't he leaving out one time they met on jools holland, and Liam got kicked off the show for having an altercation with Bowie?

Bowie was interesting for a bit in the seventies, after that what did he do that was so unique. ?

🤵🏼👏👍🤟👌👩‍🎤

"he had blue eyes and liked the Beatles"

Agree with Noel - I think it's his greatest song - but there were also some other writers and composers involved into it.

"Hallo Spaceboy" Noel Gallagher

You know you're massive when you're being supported by Morrissey

Can’t see it

Tomorrow will be Lazarus

I didn't think it was was about dancing, at least on the dancefloor.

Oh, praise from Noel Gallagher, now I guess Bowie’s soul can finally rest in peace.

Not afraid of ridicule.

Tall? He was just 6 cm taller than Noel

Who?

Funniest thing is that Liam called Bowie a washed up old fart 😂😂😂

“He was a dude.

No mention of Liam Gallagher attempting to punch Bowie and calling him an 'has been' backstage at Jools Holland in 1995? How odd,,

Unlike you MR RICHMAN

David Bowie is > Noel Gallagher
