Bert Raccoon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sad news, Bowie was my dad's favourite singer so I grew up listening to his music. Gutted I never got to see him live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Best album? Tough one. I think I'd have to say 'The Best Of David Bowie'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Grief porn everywhere. I'm sure if you're the sort to trawl all the shite on social media you'll find masturbatory levels of grief. Most folk who enjoyed his music will just say so then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sad news, Bowie was my dad's favourite singer so I grew up listening to his music. Gutted I never got to see him live. Yeah. I'm sad about it for similar reasons. David Bowie, David Byrne, Tom Waits and Neil Young are kind of an elite group for me. I've only seen Neil Young of those. Too late alas, to see Bowie, and I should probably try a bit harder to see the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Grief porn everywhere. Indeed there is, but equally there's a lot of contrariness which is equally grating. Post your favourite song, tell your friends that you feel a bit sad, and move along. Or say nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The "grief porn" is absolute cringe and mostly from wannabe hipsters who are in their 20's and probably know about 3 Bowie songs. One video doing the rounds of a place in Brixton where there are people dancing to his song "lets dance" followed by a constant love in as if its some sort of monumental occurrence that the people in Brixton are acting lively for once. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So long David... Is that supposed to be the Nazi salute, by the way? Made a fucking terrible job of it. The fascists would be fuhrerious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just received an email asking me to sign a petition to get his face on the bank notes and another one saying they want to rename mars after him. Fucking cringe! It was bad enough when they renamed Marathons and Opal Fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Which resulted in him releasing his best song - Heroes. Low and Heroes are his 2 best albums. Was listening to Neu! 75 earlier, Heroes paid homage to a track on that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He had a massive influence over lots of bands. Whether you like them or not, there would be no band called Simple Minds who took the name from a line in Jean Jeanie or Dave Gahan might not have been in Depeche Mode after he sang Heroes at his audition to join the band. That is just a couple of examples, there are probably loads more thats a bit unfair, there must be a couple of decent bands that came about under the Bowie influence? Anyone watched the Vince Taylor story? It tells you in there where Dave got the Spiders From Mars from. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
