J_Stewart Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 David Bowie is releasing a new album. David fucking Bowie is releasing a new album. DAVID FUCKING BOWIE IS RELEASING A NEW ALBUM...YAASSSSSSSS!!! Where Are We Now is a beautiful little single, and the vocal is excellent, almost haunting in places. If the album is in any way similar I'd definitely approve, although I'm incredibly excited regardless. It's quite amazing that in this day and age of 24 hour media and constant news breaking through Twitter, etc, that one of the biggest stars on the planet was able to release something with no fan fare and without it leaking. As Mik says, I really hope there'll be some kind of tour to follow, I would pay a lot of money to go and see David Bowie live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If there's a new tour, I'll be going to see it. Not a fan of the new song. Infact, it bores the f**k out of me. It's David Bowie though, so the album is sure to have some decent stuff on there. He's fairly reliable for a good track or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is there any story behind his disappearance over the last few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is there any story behind his disappearance over the last few years? He had heart problems in the mid-2000's I think, so just started living quietly and not making very many media appearances. There's was reports last year - from his biographer I think it was - that he'd pretty much fully retired and wouldn't really be in the public eye ever again, which is one of the reasons I'm very excited and happy about todays release and announcement, as I geneuinely didn't think I'd hear new music from him ever again.

DomDom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 He had heart problems in the mid-2000's I think Aye. Those problems led to him cancelling his T in the Park slot and he had to get surgery. He's done wee bits and bobs since then though. It's not like he vanished off the face of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Happy birthday Mr Bowie. I've just heard the news about this track, I shall check it out in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Listened to the new Bowie on YT - so many Teutonic references, the video is of his disconnected/ virtual head, he looks like one of the robots from AI. The track is ok, it gets better after 2 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Aye. Those problems led to him cancelling his T in the Park slot and he had to get surgery.

I loved his cameo in Extras, it was probably my favourite guest appearances in a programme I really enjoyed. I fucking love David Bowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Fives, David Bowie thread for this. (And it makes great reading. Thought the new single was soporific. And I'm a Bowie fan - >40yrs of following him in real time.

Width of a circle Suffragette City Queen Bitch Rock and roll suicide Eight Line Poem Would probably all change within a week or so though. It's hard enough to do a Bowie top 20 never mind a top 5.

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Good stuff! Seen him at the IOW festival a few years back. and although he was a good performer on stage I felt a bit disappointed that he didn't play enough of his greatest hits. As said above though, hopefully he's planning a tour, would be well up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The new song is fantastic and I'd love to get the chance to see him live but I'm prettycertain it won't happen. From what I hear his health is pretty bad so chances of live shows are highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I liked it, sounded like it could have come off the back of "Low". I've found that his recent (seems weird saying that since the last one was a decade ago) releases have either been absolutely brilliant or absolutely terrible with no middle ground. Having heard Where Are We Now has given me confidence that the album will be genuinely good and I'm excited to hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Going to be honest, thought it was a pretty boring and shit tune. Good that he's back though, he has a massive fanbase, can see Glastonbury and other festivals trying to tempt him with massive wads of cash to headline next year.

The Shire Voice Of Reason Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 15 / 20 years ago he said he would never play a "hits" set again, and he's stuck to that. If he tours, I can see it being the new album with a couple of 1970's album tracks thrown in. Saw him at the SECC in 1996 and actually came down with flu as he was onstage, having to leave before the end. I was sick in more than one way.
