Something funny just happened on facebook.

The new singer of Vital Remains, Brian Werner (I think is his name) made a status that I could see because I guess one of my friends 'liked' it that said, "RIP David Bowie. I hated your music" and so I decided to take the piss and I said "let me know when Vital Remains makes good music again, faggot" and he called me over-sensitive and then blocked me.

Why are the dyed black hair/goatee/Satanic types always such giant wankers? No wonder bands like Anal Cunt and Sloth spend hours dedicating songs to ripping the piss out of them.

I hate when famous or semi-famous people die because then I have to deal with all the re-res on social media posting all this stuff about a person they've never once mentioned before - but now that person is an oh so important part of their life.

Edit: No idea why Bowie is famous. He has an extremely punchable aesthetic, which is probably the only reason anyone ever listened to his music.

 

[CiG]

Yeah but you only have to wait ten seconds for the anti-bandwagon bandwagon to roll in with a bunch of edgy fags going on about how the deceased sucked/don't care about the deceased/deceased were overrated/etc and then the group that's more cringe worthy is superseded by another group. Happens every time with anything that has a buzz.

Don't understand your edit.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm only upset because I really love Labyrinth and he was great in that.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

^Seconded, fucking love that movie and his work on the soundtrack. Don't forget his badass role as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige.

Bowie hasn't truly died. He either

A. Went back to being Goblin King with more hot jailbait in a fantasy land
Or
B. Used his teleportation device to join Oderus on another planet

He'd better do something with Vital Remains as they're shit. And he didn't even record anything with them. Shithead just wanted to gain some attention with his contradictory opinion.

I never had a Bowie phase (where does one start with his music?) but I respect that he was a musician that dared to be different. Rip

 

[The Butt]

Not big on Bowie at all... but it sucks to see a musician pass. RIP. :/

He made good/catchy/interesting music and was a multi-talented artist (acted too fyi). And he wasn't a cunt.

Not from what I can tell.

I think his influence is not to be sniffed at. I was never a massive fan but I like some of his songs and appreciate that he was an innovator. It's sad that we're getting to the point where all these hugely influential legends are going to start dropping of more regularly. RIP

David Bowie was an extremely innovative artist and he made a large number of hugely influential albums. You would have to live in a cave to not be able to figure out that he was one of the most impactful musicians during the '70s and '80s. His musical output during those years was was one of the primary influences on the formation of punk rock, post-punk, new wave and electronic dance music. He also helped several other influential musicians early in their careers to gain a wider audience and become successful.

 

[Baroque]

where does one start with his music?

Now's a good time for me to give it a real chance. I've only heard a couple songs.

 

[Omni]

It really depends on what you want. He had so many different phases during his career that it's hard to pin him down.

His early 1970s music ranges from psychedelia to operatic glam rock. By the late 1970s, he had transitioned to highly experimental soul music. His early 1980s music was often dark and atmospheric, and quite beautiful. With Let's Dance, he went full on 1980s pop rock with a Bowie twist.

I don't really like Bowie's music, but I like Scary Monsters. Maybe try there.
