>>60452733
It better be Industrial Jazz Krautrock Art Pop Bowie please for the love of god
>>60452743
I think based Bowie's going to troll us all good while kicking our asses at the same time. One thing you can count on with Bowie is not knowing what the fuck is going to happen.
Just heard this on the radio and came here to talk about Bowie. This song and clip is pretty much perfect and defined the 80s to come.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMThz7eQ6K0
>>60452788
He defined the 80s before it had even begun
>>60452788
>>60452793
I just found out that Robert Fripp performed guitar on some of that album, which is probably why i love Scary Monsters so much
>>60452815
Chuck Hammer played synth guitar on that song which is why it's so fucked up. Bowie uses genius musicians like a painter uses colours.
>>60452822
oh shit i didnt know that either. Learn something new everyday
>>60452815
He also did all the guitars on Heroes
>>60452844
I read that Fripp did three takes cold, no chart or anything, on the song Heroes, Bowie and Visconti used all of them in the mix.
Andy Warhol actually

Andy Warhol like whole hub

It's interesting to note that Bowie abandoned Visconti just when their partnership reached a pinnacle with Scary Monsters, and went on to produce Let's Dance with Niles Rogers. Bowie seems to be fearless when abandoning the safe bet, confident in his own talent or just looking for a new sound.
Like when he split up the Spiders and played all the guitar on Diamond Dogs himself, probably just to see if he could do it. I reckon that he may have been showing that Mick Ronson was just one of his tools and not an integral part of Bowie.
>>60452948
He ditched visconti for niles rogers for let's dance because he wanted hit pop songs and he actually did it in a kind of dickish way, considering he had worked with visconti forever
>>60452990
To an extent, he was kind of dickish in that move. But really that album is really amazing too and I guess he did what he needed to do. I'm glad he's back with Visconti though, this new record is going to be good.
Anyway worth another listen if you haven't heard it for a while. I love this album.

1.Outside is an underrated album which sounds incredible today.

Agreed although it is more of its time than Outside. I don't know what the fuck happened with Hours though I just can't get into that album.

>>60453801
Nah, in fact I think it wasn't a music video, it was pretty long, like 20 minutes.
They all wore slinky costumes and it all looked really strange.

David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena, however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. There were intellectuals who had proclaimed this theory in rebellious terms. Bowie was, in many ways, the heir, no matter how perverted, of Andy Warhol's pop art and of the underground culture of the 1960s. He adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity. Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music. Each element of his art is the emblem of a true artistic movement however, the ensemble of those emblems constitutes no more than a puzzle, no matter how intriguing, of symbols, a roll of incoherent images projected against the wall at twice the speed, a dictionary of terms rather than a poem, and, in the best of hypotheses, a documentary of the cultural fads of his era. Reading the chronicles of his times, it is clear that what caused sensation was the show, not the music. The show that Bowie set up was undoubtedly in sync with the avantgarde, as it fused theater, mime, cinema, visual art, literature and music. However, Bowie merely recycled what had been going on for years in the British underground, in particular what had been popularized by the psychedelic bands of 1967. And he turned it into a commodity: whichever way you look at his oeuvre, this is the real merit of it.
