How will you react when this ends up as AOTY?
Bruce Dickinson just replaced your favorite band's vocalist.
Did the band become terrible?

Thoughts on pic related
he looks kind of like a white iverson
looks like a chubby cunt, obsessed with how he appears
why, who is he?
8/10 Nb I actually like most of all of his songs
can someone explain why people prefer Low over Heroes? didn't understand when I first heard both years ago, still don't understand now.
also how is Beauty and the Beast not one of his most classic songs?!
>>61728009
I love both albums, two of my favorites of all time but the Low hype really is ludicrous at this point. To me, Heroes in the best album I've ever heard. I feel like it's a cohesion of Low's concept.

>I feel like it's a cohesion of Low's concept.
basically that
it's noisier, it's catchier, it's stranger, it's like everything that Low wasn't (and thus bored me with)
>>61728009
>liking pop ballads on Heroes
You clearly have refined taste op. Go listen to John Mayer for some more vocal pop music

hello idiots
in honor of the new year, lets do a last 12 months 5x5 thread and make grand generalizations and judgmental assumptions about each other's year 2015!

you have a bad relationship with your father
angry loud music with harsh noise puts you in a tranquil meditative state
you are frequently praised as "smart" but chastised for being an "underachiever"
you're in college studying some bogus liberal arts degree and definitely NOT in the stem fields, though you resent people who talk down to you for this reason

>About a week before his death, with Blackstar nearing release, David Bowie called his longtime friend and producer Tony Visconti via FaceTime, and told him he wanted to make one more album. In what turned out to have been the final weeks of his life, Bowie wrote and demo-ed five fresh songs, and was anxious to return to the studio one last time. Bowie had known since November that his cancer was terminal, according to Visconti, but if their final conversation was any indication, he had no idea he had so little time left. "At that late stage, he was planning the follow-up to Blackstar," says Visconti, that album's producer, in an interview conducted Wednesday for a Bowie memorial package in the next issue of Rolling Stone.
>"And I was thrilled," Visconti continues, "and I thought, and he thought, that he'd have a few months, at least. Obviously, if he's excited about doing his next album, he must've thought he had a few more months. So the end must've been very rapid. I'm not privy to it. I don't know exactly, but he must've taken ill very quickly after that phone call." Visconti has been working with Bowie on and off since 1969's Space Oddity, producing numerous key albums, among them 1970's The Man Who Sold the World, 1977's Low, 1980's Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), and 2013's surprise comeback The Next Day.
>Visconti first learned of Bowie's illness a year ago, when he showed up for Blackstar recording sessions in New York. "He just came fresh from a chemo session, and he had no eyebrows, and he had no hair on his head," says Visconti, "and there was no way he could keep it a secret from the band. But he told me privately, and I really got choked up when we sat face to face talking about it."

>Around the middle of 2015, however, Bowie's prognosis seemed to improve. "He was optimistic because he was doing the chemo and it was working," says Visconti, "and at one point in the middle of last year, he was in remission. I was thrilled. And he was a bit apprehensive. He said, 'Well, don't celebrate too quickly. For now I'm in remission, and we'll see how it goes.' And he continued the chemotherapy. So I thought he was going to make it. And in November, it just suddenly came back. It had spread all over his body, so there's no recovering from that."
>Bowie had already finished Blackstar by November. But even before then, Visconti noticed the tone of some of the lyrics and told him, "You canny bastard. You're writing a farewell album." Bowie simply laughed in response. "He was so brave and courageous," says Visconti. "And his energy was still incredible for a man who had cancer. He never showed any fear. He was just all business about making the album."
>As far as Visconti knows, rumors of additional health problems between Bowie’s 2004 heart attack and his cancer diagnosis 18 months ago are false. "When I met up with him in 2008 or 2009," he says, "he actually had some weight on him. He was robust. His cheeks were rosy red. He wasn't sick. He was on medicine for his heart. But it was normal, like a lot of people in their 50s or 60s are on heart medication, and live very long lives. So he was coping with it very, very well." In the time between the heart attack and the 2013 release of The Next Day, Bowie even took boxing lessons.

>When Visconti learned of Bowie's death, the producer was on the road with Holy Holy, a Bowie tribute project that includes former Spiders from Mars drummer Mick "Woody" Woodmansey. "We deliberated whether we should continue the tour because we were all knocked sideways," Visconti says. "Monday was the worst day of my life. I gotta say. But we talked about it and said, 'We’re musicians, this is what we do. David would like it.' We played for the first time since his death last night to a very, very enthusiastic Toronto audience. There were people crying, but there were people smiling and clapping and jumping around. Listen, it was a wonderful experience to be able to acknowledge him, to celebrate his life."
>Visconti and many other Bowie friends and collaborators reminisce about the musician in the next issue of Rolling Stone.

What is the most patrician thing you'll admit you listen to in public?
AOA
>>61723595
radiohead, if i'm feeling particularly patrician
Can, probably
>/mu/ suddenly hates vinyl
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
Vinyl is a meme format pushed by corporations to trick hipsters in to buy a more expensive format that is worse than CD in every way but "packaging" which is the only thing vinylfags seem to care about.

Looking forward to it. I have never actually heard any on his live albums before. How do they stand up to the studio albums?
>>61722736
The 2000 BBC radio theatre one he did is extremely good, both performance and sound quality.
