Would you David Bowie, /r9k/?
he's a normie pretending to be a tortured faggot
>>24461874
Yes, I would David Bowie very much.
AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL
I like Bowie but the music itself is just horrible.
>>24462033
Care to elaborate on that? What songs have you heard of his that you didn't really like?
>>24462033
>>24462061
...EXCEPT under pressure. I am obsessed with that song.
Everything else is not adventurous enough in keeping with his flamboyance and it's just not nice to hear. I know the way he sings is part of the act and I don't focus on lyrics much unless they really burrow themselves into my head.
KISS is the same way, they look all crazy but then the music is meh.
>>24462011
What did /mu/ think of Blackstar?
>>24462033
>he doesn't like ziggy stardust
jesus christ what is wrong with you?
>>24462144
i absolutely hate under pressure. never have liked it.
>>24462190
Ironically, I like it more because of what it means to me, I won't say it's catchy or very listenable.
The rest of the songs sounds like him wailing with like pots and pans in the background.

he calls that sound "plastic soul"
that's kind of his thing. i didn't like it at first either. listen to ziggy stardust a few times and you'll get addicted to the sound.
>>24462322
I just had it on since you threw it out there but stopped. It's ... idk. I want to like it but it's like trying to find harmony in the sound of cats fucking. It's just poor musicianship.
>>24462442
i think you just don't like the way it's mixed or how it was recorded
it's a very peculiar sound
throw the whole album on and just listen to it, it will click at some point, trust me
I would do anything for him. I would kill a child and drink it's blood if he asked me to.
I love his music. David has made some of the best albums throughout the years. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Low, Heroes, etc. He's a great musician and a phenomenal songwriter. He's a great composer and lyricist.
>>24462169
I'm not your average pretentious /mu/ poster but I liked it a lot.
>>24462664
>I liked it a lot.
What did you like about it?
>>24462011
Did he dye his hair grey?
>>24462759
Eh multiple things. I like the kind of "call back" to Major Tom and I thought the song was impressive. It was creative and fresh. The video was bit too "artsy" in my opinion but overall everything was pretty good.

Nigga is like 70, I'm pretty sure it's his natural color.
>>24463041
david bowie is eternal and immortal, he does not age, that is all makeup
>>24463068
I hope he and Iggy Pop are immortal. If they die I'll actually feel fucking sad.
>>24463099
Lou Reed karked it they are next mark my words.
>>24462988
I'M HAPPY, HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY TOOOOO
>>24463124
Iggy has got a long time. Richard Hell and John Cale seem to be holding up pretty well too. I'm worried about David Bowie and Brian Wilson. Those two look worse by the day I swear.
>>24463253
Richard looks really good and so does Iggy. I know Bowie has a heart condition maybe it's catching up with him. I was just being cheeky I don't want him to die either.
>>24463099
iggy pop is the only person keith richards would have a difficult time keeping up with in terms of how many drugs they can consume without dying
david bowie was cool until he joined the fearmonger unionists and told scottish people how to vote.
>>24463517
I personally think Richard could pull off saying he was in his late 30's/early 40's. I don't understand how he looks that good. He stopped smoking about 10 years ago. You can see age on Iggy but he can physically move around really well.
>>24463575
I'm surprised Keith is still up and running too. Did anybody catch how bad Bill Wyman aged in the last 10 - 20 years?
>>24463699
ehhh
he could pass for maybe 60 at the lowest. i think the drugs finally caught up with him.
his book Life gave me a whole different view of how crazy that fuck was
>>24463837
I was talking about Richard Hell. He looks young as hell. Keith looks like an elephant's ass.
>>24461874
>2015
>Selling the World
>>24462144
this is bait right? nobody can have this bad of taste
>>24462988
>>24463128
is ashes to ashes his best song?
>>24464277
>ashes to ashes
i think you mean queen bitch
>>24464277
For me its a tie with man who sold the world
i heard its in mgsV, i really need to play it.
>>24464343
>man who sold the world
t b h, nirvana did it better, the original song is terrible compared to it.
>>24464366

this is the best cover version, hands down
>>24464412
thats the version they use in MGS 5
his top 3 albums are Rise/Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Low
Prove me wrong
>>24464530
low is a meme album to me, it was probably good at the time... but it's just too extremely dated now
rise and fall > hunky dory > aladdin sane
>>24464530
I can't prove you wrong because it's an opinion you faggot. The Prettiest Star is my favorite track off of Aladdin Sane. What in the World and Sound and Vision are my favorite tracks off of Low. Five Years is my favorite from Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
>>24464584
Nah I think it holds up really well actually, Warszawa is still one of the most haunting songs I'eve ever heard
>>24464688
all i hear when i listen to it is arcade tier electronic effects
i dont think it holds up well at all. rise and fall has held up though
Isn't Bowie a secret redpill?
>>24464622
For me it'd be
Aladdin Sane-Lady Grinning Soul/Time
Low-Sound and Vision/Warszawa
Rise/Fall-Ziggy Stardust/Soul Love
>>24464765
How do you feel about Heroes and Lodger?
>>24464768
wut
is there something I missed?
>bowie
inferior to waits imo.
>not wanting to be a hobo
also waits strikes me as being much closer to being an actual, irl robot
>>24466252
Well, if you count fascism and shit as redpill
From wikipedia:
Speaking as The Thin White Duke, Bowie's persona at the time, and "at least partially tongue-in-cheek", he made statements that expressed support for fascism and perceived admiration for Adolf Hitler in interviews with Playboy, NME and a Swedish publication. Bowie was quoted as saying: "Britain is ready for a fascist leader... I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism... I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership." He was also quoted as saying: "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars" and "You've got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up. " Bowie later retracted these comments and blamed them on mental instability caused by his drug problems at the time, saying: "I was out of my mind, totally, completely crazed."
>>24462011
That's pretty freaky...Bowie.
