Fantastic to see younger generations appreciate such a great music legend .I'm a 59 year old woman and Bowie has been my music idol from age of 13 .There is half century of music that is timeless to discover. Enjoy .
Watching this young guy freaking out to Suffragette City .Just as i did when i was in my teens and still do at age 62, proving Bowie music is timeless.
I liked the look on your face when you realized he had just said 'Wham Bam Thank You Maam'...Bowie freaked alot of people out back then, but he sure was FUN!
telling you this so you might avoid confusion. this song is from the album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars from 1972. the image on the video is the cover to the album Black Tie White Noise from 1993. two decades later. especially highlighting this cuz you were trying to read the album title. anyway, totally different era of Bowie and quite a bit stylistically different from each other
Legend indeed! Ziggy Stardust was the first album I ever heard in stereo - through headphones. After two years of listening on a portable mono cassette player. The whole experience blew me away, right from the start of "Five Years". Great album. I still think "The Man Who..." is my favourite Bowie album of all. Or maybe Alladin Sane. Or Ziggy Stardust. Or... well the guy reinvented himself every time! LOVING seeing you, zillions of years younger than me, coming to this great music! Check out "The Width of a Circle" or "Saviour machine" off "The Man who..."?
I love my Bowie! But you gotta know that he was a great collector of things that he added to his own repertoire whenever he could. Wham Bam, thank you Ma’am was a song by Dean Martin back in the 60s and Bowie just made good use of the phrase. Also, this song was an extra on the Black Tie White Noise album (an anti racist statement about Rodney King). Suffragette City was originally released on the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album (a classic!) And it’s suffra-jett. 😜
Love your reaction. Hopefully this trend will continue 20-25yrs from now and the younger generation will be listening to songs you grew up with and giving their reaction. I'll be very old or dead and buried. I really enjoy your channel and subscribed.
He was a very cool dude, they called him "The Thin White Duke" because he always dressed with style. He also lived in New York and opened the 9/11 Concert, which was held in Madison Square Garden a little while after it happened, it was all the police, firefighters and emergency services that had been helping and the families of those who passed away.
He crafted his songs by thinking of words, cutting and pasting them back together in unique patterns to create his songs. What a genius he was, still lives in my heart and soul.
Pope… you DEF get it .. !! It’s great seeing you react like I did 50 years ago , THATS why music is the sharing medium, it can transport you in time and provide a bridge to all people , everywhere . Liked n subscribed 👍🏴
Please react to David Bowie Heroes live in Berlin 2003. It's an incredible performance. I saw him live on his very last tour. He played for well over two hours and gave a simply stunning performance. You'll get to see a bit of his personality come through too.
I'm in my early 40s and learned of Bowie in the early 90s and he quickly became my favorite musician. After he passed I had a dream where he called me by name while playing cards (a kind of socially important thing for me) and also later while recounting this story I heard Space Oddity on the radio...might all be coincidence but it could be that Mr. Bowie works in mysterious ways! :)
Anyone ever notice that he removed the second line of the chorus "'cause you ain't got time to check it" and repeated the line "cause you can't afford the ticket" when he performed it live?
Bowie's influence on music can never be minimized. In order to get to where he wanted to be, he knew he had to "kill";Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, metaphorically. "Diamond Dogs" was his transition album, working his way into Plastic Soul. A GENIUS.
This was from my fav genre of Bowie… ziggy stardust years… love , just love this track , pure rock n roll done a la Ziggy , what’s not to like ? 👍🏴
Width of a Circle, live version, from David Bowie Live at the Tower Theatre Philadelphia from 1974-75. Live version of this is on there too. Check it out. Dare ya.
Always loved the long building groove of "Station to Station" the title track from the album of the same name. Pretty sure you would appreciate it a lot!
Song's basically the singer telling his roommate/friend to get outta there so that "mellow black chick" can put his spine outta place ;) Super fun, gets the people moving lol
Fantastic response to this rock and roll tune- change gear with the sublime “ Lady Grinning Soul” - Aladdin Sane Studio album by David Bowie ( ps -A suffragette was a member of an activist women's organisation in the early 20th century who, under the banner "Votes for Women", fought for the right to vote in public elections in the United Kingdom. )
Hey brother, you would love some of David Bowie‘s live songs man. Check out his 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour bro. You want to talk about David in his prime 😎 luv your reactions man!!¡ And here’s a Zeppelin song you can react to. How about Dazed and Confused but the audio or studio version. I’m telling ya you won’t be disappointed.
I don't think you've got to this yet. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars from 1972 was Bowie's launch into stardom. Still, after 50 years, people like me refer to it as a classic. The final night of the band that recorded that seminal album was recorded on film and released on DVD later. It is an extraordinary document. I REALLY recommend that you load up 'David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (Live, 1973)', as a reaction video. Bowie projected this fictitious Ziggy persona onstage. For us it was like watching an actual alien. We couldn't grasp what we were watching. Even now, I think you'd have a hint of what it must have been like for us back then. Enjoy.
Hey Popen great video. I know you like hip hop too so I thought I would recommend some old school stuff you would dig! Check Out: Abstract Rude & Tribe Unique - Through These Streets Freestyle Fellowship - Can You Find The Level of Difficulty in This? Anything from the album Port Authority by Marco Polo Anything from the album Disposable Arts by Masta Ace Aceyalone and Self Jupiter - When The Sun Took A Day Off and the Moon Stood Still I know your channel is almost exclusively into 70s rock and prog but It could be fun to mix in one of these tracks and show your subscribers just how sublime and at times progressive hip hop can be.
Thanks for reacting to the greatest! The chameleon! I recommend more from this early 70s era, the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars era, my favourite "Moonage daydream" "Ziggy played guitar" "The Jean Genie" Either audio or if you wish from the 1973 concert movie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. You've got to see him in his glam days. Thanks
Bowie was NOT a chameleon. Chameleons change their color so that they might blend in with their backgrounds. Bowie dud NOT blend in. He jumped out which is rather quite the opposite.
this song is from 1972 when he was writing more rock songs the album is Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Black tie white noise is from 1993 this song is not from that album.
He's got another great song called HEROES, they use it in TV shows sometimes (I saw it on Stranger Things), here's a great live version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hQUXqdtv-QY.html
