David Bowie

This may or may not be a strange thread for RC, but who here is into David Bowie? You're never too metal to listen to a little Bowie here and there. Everything he did in the 70's was gold with the exception of Young Americans and there was still signs of greatness after that. Who's with me?

I have huge respect for almost everything he did, but i really love few of his works ("The Man Who Sold The World", "Ziggy Stardust" and "Hunky Dory"). It's funny how i always ignored everythig he did but when i learned that he is the main influence of one of my favourite singers (Eric Clayton of "Saviour Machine" - guess from where they took their band name!!!) and because of the insistence on how he rules by some people i know. Bits and pieces i've heard from his recent albums seemed very interesting and unique, nothing sounds like what he does really.

I hear he loves to eat lollipops through his eye.

He's pretty much a musical genius, so yeah. Kinda goes without saying. "Spiders from Mars" is classic.

Also, I like his acting too. He made a cool Goblin King in Labyrinth.

I still say his Bulge should have won "Best Supporting actor" for that film.

and as Tesla in The Prestige

JayKeeley · October 4th, 2007, 06:38 PM

Hell yeah. He was wicked in The Presitge.

I have "The Man who Fell to Earth" DVD somewhere, some cool Criterion Collection edition. Haven't seen it yet.

By the way, we used "Modern Love" as the theme song for our entourage at our wedding (as they entered the venue). That and Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" for us.

He did music (and even worked on plot and other shit) for a computer game a few years ago and it was pretty good!
