Drummer reacts to "Running Gun Blues" & "Saviour Machine" by David Bowie 

Saviour Machine is a hidden Bowie gem. One of my favs.

Always been one of my favorite Bowie albums. It often gets overlooked but it's a brilliant album from start to finish.

Saviour Machine is like full on Rock Opera. Superb. Love this album so much.

Running Gun Blues is about a Vietnam vet that can't stop killing once he gets home. Saviour Machine is about AI destroying us.

Remember: He was 23 years old when this came out -- and it was his third album!!

The entire album is an underrated and overlooked banger. Not a dud track on it. Heavy stuff.

I love hearing these deep cuts ... nice

Bowie is the greatest of all music from the 60s.onwards.

Without doubt one of his best albums. Amazing themes and musical ideas.

My favorite Bowie album, too. It's genius.

Excellent album! My first Bowie.

So many great tracks on this album. Hearing it back in the day as a fifteen/sixteen year old, the guitars coupled with the scifi story-telling of Saviour Machine, The Supermen and many other Bowie classics hooked me in immediately, and it hasn't let go since. Still one of my favourite albums... by anyone!

Wow, regardless of being a Bowie fan for a good part of 45 years plus.. I'm still being introduced to new music of his. It's definitely a journey of discovery.

Thank you for playing this amazing songs - I haven't heard them years!! This is in my top Bowie Albums ❤

Saviour Machine is a great track, this album is in my collection though not often played.

I don’t remember these songs. Great stuff thanks

Again thank you for doing this record l33. Some of his very best but not as known.

Bowie ever unique ever reaching, no wonder he left us but maybe he saw something we couldn't. RIP

David's half brother Terry was a big influence on this album. He spent a large part of his life in Cane Hill Asylum (pictured in the US cartoon cover) before his eventful suicide.

Although it is strictly his third album, for most people it is his second, even for Bowie who titled the 2nd the same as the 1st "David Bowie" to forget about it. Then with the success of Space Oddity the record company changed it to the name that we all know: "Space Oddity".......both Space Oddity and TMWSTW are very good albums, in them we already see branches of Bowie's genius everywhere. still not completely polished, but they are already there 🙂

This album came out about the same time as Black Sabbath's first album, and is every bit heavy and every bit metal as Sabbath, though most people didn't realize Bowie was doing this at the time. But while for Sabbath it was a career, for David it was just another phase. And the whole band was performing at their peak. Keep checking out early Bowie, he's full of surprises.

A day of many riches - and to a man who wrote a song intended for Elvis: “Golden Years” was offered to him, IIRC. Always room for any era Bowie 😊

There's not one bum track on this entire album. Thank you!

These two songs are unheard by me also. There both worth listening to. I prefer the second one more. I’ll have to give them another listen or more.

Sometimes the record companies make great changes to the artists' chosen nomenclature. Imagine the Beach Boys actually going with The Pendletones?! Well done Capitol for changing that.

Check out the lyrics to Saviour Machine...it exactly details the current political situation. "President Joe once had a dream..."

Singing-wise, not my tops. Music-wise, great :)

...i don't think this song is about religion, only. Maybe. But thanks for mentioning Fritz Lang movie " Metropolis". I think this intense piece of music was partly inspired by that old silent movie.

Savior Machine…it undulates… Interesting!

"President Joe once had a dream".... Hmmm.... Let's see
