GrandShock Trooper (should I tell him,,?)

How so?

Sexist people when ever lived. That's better.

Agreed. 💖 He is beautiful, sexy and multytalented.

Cas Aguilar because he is

Of course, he is a true artist. Any actual artist will have that, it's ways of getting your creativity out and the personality will be based on specific characters created. Same would be with a painter, writer, etc.

I’m assuming you’re not talking about Iman?

It seemed to me Oman was the best thing that ever happened to him. Just at the right time.

Sry Iman

Cami Castle I thought David was gay. I’m confused

I know! I wanted to comment on it, but for some reason i decided to delete it from the script. Thanks for adding that here though.

Yes. I love that.

Blackstar needs it’s own video review as an epilogue

It's saying that the old ziggy stardust days were dead and his real self was gone

Blackstar is also a type of cancer. As sad as that is David had to write this into to his parting gift to us. There are elements of past personas and experiences in both Blackstar Lazerus the entire album. Every time I watch it I find something else ....Thank You David x

Mine, too, friend! Discovering him about a year or so after his death was one of the first times I willingly admitted to myself, "Yeah, I'm not like a lot of other girls my age - but it's okay, 'cuz I like being quirky!"

carlotta robbins oh man. His death hit me like a brick. Some of his songs still make me feel like crying haha.

Wasn't he the most beautiful looking sexy man!

Mine too

U speak for all of us who loved him from afar my man so true

I can totally see that side of the story! Love it. Have you seen The Man Who Fell To Earth?

Lie Likes Music yes i have! Really interesting movie, made even weider by that thin-looking Bowie. And you can trace some parallels with Ziggy Stardust, which always made me curious as to why he chose to star in it.

That's the interpretation I'm most familiar with

But ziggy is on more albums after that tho

The story is actually that the infinites come and tear his body apart while he is performing on stage, taking his power back.

Me neither. This reminds me of an interview i saw of Iggy Pop. He mentioned that Bowie was the hardest working man he'd ever been in contact with. The amount of albums he put out is a testament to that. And luckily in Bowie's case he had the talent and luck to create top-shelf quality music too! Epic epic epic...

The one catalog I can think of alongside bowies that shows such personal progression is kendrick lamars

Alexandra Wimmer Yes i remember so too. But for some reason i didn't choose to include it here. Thanks for adding that btw.

Alexandra Wimmer Alienation.

where/when did he say that? :0

Wow, that deep

His characters also coincided with his drug use. Ted was cocaine period. Heroes was the Berlin heroin period. I grew up with him ,figuratively, all of it. Emo was his best collaborator,.Lady Gaga got major influence from him

Sry wyd thin white duke

Chester GC that’s because ziggy is his most famous character except maybe Major Tom.

@@ToothyMTG1 Aladdin Sane is surprisingly not really known despite the fact that the lighting bolt has become the most recognizable symbol of David Bowie

Yeah I was totally going to say that ...I don't know how you breeze over the fascist leanings and occultism of thin white Duke, THAT is some fascinating and conflicting shit.

I think a lot of his fans feel that way. He went out with style though. Worked on his craft right until the end.

❤❤❤

I feel the same way. Miss him like I lost an old friend. Well said. And he was a sweet man.

Trash Queen Yeah i know it's quite sad. But that's how it is. But keep in mind that there are some fantastic artists in contemporary music too. Like Kanye West, Tyler the Creator, Tame Impala etc. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

Lie Likes Music I like to stick to older music most of the time (prince is my favorite lol) but I'll definitely check out theses singers/rappers

Trash Queen SAMEEEEEE

Same but I am 17. I listened to Let's Dance and Under Pressure since I was 11 years old, but never really got into his music until this year -sadly, it would had been better if I listened to more of his discography before he died. He was such an amazing artist.

Trash Queen if you like Bowie you will probably like Lady Gaga, girl is as talented and complex as him, she has a different “gaga” character for every album. If you’re into glam rock you should start with Born This Way and The Fame Monster. Ofc I too wish I could have experienced the Bowie phenomenon alive, but at least I get to reflect his work through Gaga’s artistry.

I know. She learned dance and mime from the same guy who teached Bowie back in the day. And yes her music is sooo outstanding! I absolutely adore The Dreaming. Just started listening to Hounds Of Love.

Lie Likes Music you should do a video about her, she is enigmatic.

@shaddow kid85 lol yes I've loved her for so long it's nice seeing her get the recognition she deserves

After Stranger Things season 4, everyone knows her name. She's getting some recognition :)

in fact kate bush is influenced by david bowie and peter gabriel

Abruptly

Just like unwanted russian spies

Just like almost every musician who had too much political influence.

BREAKING NEWS- Ziggy was a Russian spy. We uncovered the conspiracy, mates.

Mistyfur Of Grassclan WHAT????

There wasn't that much to say about him from the internet sources. But i'm about to order a book that goes more in depth into his roles.

Lie Likes Music it's okay - there's a whole other video on the Thin White Duke.

And Jareth

Lie Likes Music he turned into a Nazi

@@LieLikesMusic This might be random but would you mind me asking what book that was? thanks :)

That's one point of view xD

dewinmoonl TRUE!!! One smile from him, and I melt!! (Check out music videos like "Rebel Rebel" and "China Girl", and you'll see what I mean!)

dewinmoonl, I love his style

1:55 No wonder Bowie slept around a TON during this period of his life and could seduce damn near anyone. I mean, look at him. He's stunning....both classically handsome _and_ with this strange alien aesthetic. He's just such a compelling and interesting human being to simply look at.....

He just looks cool so no homo from me

Mario Sparing Hey Mario. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Yes you're absolutely right. I wish more people explore their true potential like David did. Despite of feeling isolated. Greetings from Norway.

Some of us feel like we just don't belong in society as it is now. Our experiences have tended to isolate us so that we do not connect easily to other people. Especially if we've found that reaching out to others has been less than useful for us in the past. I think people need to understand that issues people have with mental health actually have little to do with health per se. Usually in my experience depression and other problems are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. There is no chemical imbalance in the brain, people have simply been treated badly with no way of seeking justice. It's enough to drive anyone over the edge. I think those of us who don't sink into depression under such circumstances are simply more stubborn. =D I know I am these days.

Nóra Bánfi lol

+Nóra Bánfi Where the hell did you even get that anyone tried to say that feeling isolated and different makes one special? Also being just different or individual and feeling isolated or even shunned from the majority of people are not the same. If you fall in the latter category you will have a hard time feeling "special", because your individuality will not be perceived as a good thing by anyone. That's why those who fall way outside the norm have to work a dozen times harder than everyone else to get somewhere or find a way to turn what puts them at odds with everyone else their strength. Which is also what people like Bowie did/do. And this is likely what the video was talking about. What you are talking about are probably special snowflakes - well, they certainly aren't special, nor all too different as they more than often come from good, intact houses and are middle class, etc. In the end they are just regular people trying hard to stand out (see any tumblr special snowflake ever). That's in no way comparable to people who are actually socially secluded.

Jasmin S. Interesting comment - sometimes I feel that way, too, just because I have different tastes than most girls my age and am interested in a lot of things other teens may not necessarily know about or have any interest in. Discovering Bowie for myself was one of the first times I embraced my unusual tastes and willingly admitted to myself, "Yes, I AM quirky - and I like that about myself, and I don't care what anyone else thinks!"

Never heard that expression before. But yes he really was!

@@LieLikesMusic haha you never heard of the expression before? WeLp most people now call someone that they like a "precious bean" I don't know where it came from

Nowhere Child Nope never heard that. I'm from Norway u know so that's probably why

Yes he is~

What a lovely phrase, a bit like 'he's a good egg' 👍

That's good. There are some artists that i don't quite get either but are massively influential nonetheless. I'm not looking down on them in any way.

mike smith True 🎶

well said, sir. Edit: and always will be.

*alien

Hallam Crafer It's funny you say that. I was actually planning to talk more about him, but i couldn't find that much information on him..

It's so nice to hear that hehad true fans like you. It seems like his music has done so much for so many people. Maybe not practically or physically, but emotionally a lot of people feel like music would be a much more dull experience without him. I truly think so too. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy is by far my favorite album by him. There's just something timeless about the songs on here.

Don’t diss the Bay City Rollers.

I'm glad you appreciate him and what he has done that much :)

Well there were two versions right? The first one was arguably less mature musically as well

David Bowie was also an influence on other people like Boy George of Culture Club and Adam Levine.He paved the way for a lot of gay people that weren’t afraid of making an artistic statement.Rock on Ziggy Stardust!!!…Karl Schumaker 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

That's so sweet! We all have an artist or band that helps us through life. For me that's always been Qotsa. Cheers!

Lie Likes Music thank you so much !!

In the music video for ehm. WHat's that song called again?

Yeah you got a point there. Thanks for sharing and watching 🤘

Maybe a reference to the Manson Family murders claimed to be inspired by the Beatles. The man being a way of differentiating the general idea from the actual events to avoid complications but also referencing Bernard Crowe or Garry Hinman.

It's impossible because john was killed in 1980 while the album was made in the 70s

David Bowie actually references John Lennon in the song Life on Mars?

Ye but the song was released before he was shot

adolf jahooza Yes i noticed also there are several versions of the song. His latest one being far more epic and thourough than the previous ones.

In the UK it reached the top 5 in 1969. Bowie was in danger of becoming a one hit wonder. Ziggy changed that.

gavin Reid nah he had amazing hits so without Ziggy he wouldn’t be a one hit wonder

True, it was his birthday on the 8th! Time flies

Word! Couldn't have said it better myself.

We could try but it wouldn’t ever be the same

Who or what is that?

@@HalibutToast his stands name and abilities are also killer queen, sheer heart attack, and bites the dust! Not bowie but still a great band :D

In this case Bowie is also Lucifer Morningstar from the Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic book series.

Oh no you’ve discovered his ident- KILLER QUEEN DAISEN NO BAKUDAN, BITEZ A DUSTO

vascello0o I’m amazed they pulled that off

As an attention-seeker with a need to comment about my self-diagnosed BPD on a video that’s supposed to be about David Bowie, I completely relate to this comment (I’m different)

Nicolle Anne No problem. He means the same to me. I still remember the day i first heard Space Oddity! That was a magical moment. Instantly became a fan ☝️😊

Thanks man. More is on the way :)

Unexpected reference to a david bowie song

Unexpected account decided to David Bowie.

spekkyeet Me too lol ☝️😄

Flying Monkey T bird up

moldy rosemary best show on television

Ear from me

duuude I know you my man, you are mellow Mike

dude you'r being like a narco right now, you'r being so narcoleptic

Francisco Navarro Ah that would be a great topic! Love The Queen Is Dead 🎶 I'll put it on my list!

who in gods great name actually unironically likes morrissey? what a joke lmao

Johnny Marr going solo artist is a much heroic inspiring tale. Roughly same time as Bowie’s The Next day

antandteo a I'm really glad you think so 😊 I sure will.

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say that man. Greetings from Norway.

Lie Likes Music you are so very much welcome Greetings from America

imamango o Thank you for saying that! I try to make them as good as possible.

Hey that's very nice of you to say. I'm glad you like it :)

That's awesome! I started listening to him pretty late as well. I think it was first back in 2012 that i listened through one of his albums entirely - and got hooked. Here's another great video that explains his other character. The Thin White Duke kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcyVhr17r8XKqIU.html

Lie Likes Music Thank you :)!

Henry No problem! Eric Andre is the shit haha. Yeah? Well there you have your answers. Bowie is without a doubt one of the most interesting artists in music.

SeraS Ah that's so sweet of you to say. I'm glad the video made an impact on you. Greetings from Norway 👍😊

No problem. I'm glad you liked it :)

Cool! Yes the first time i heard it too it made a huge impact on me. I was an instant fan from that moment onwards

Awesome! Was there anything in particular you enjoyed?

Thank you! Appreciate that you took the time to watch.

Word!

Thank you! That's very nice of you

That's what he did. And i don't think he was the characters. He became them.

he pulled them out into the light for all to enjoy. same difference, only the tense is at issue.

Alvaro Elias No worries. It was a pleasure for me! 👍😊 Greetings from Norway.

No worries about your english. I understand you perfectly. Thanks for watching and support me btw! It means the world to me 🤘 Many greetings from Norway.

ponyboy staygold No problem man. Thanks for watching.

Hou Khohs 😄 Yes i grew with 6k subs the last 30 days!! Some of these new videos just exploded. Thank you for sticking with me for so long.

Lie Likes Music by the new style of the thumbnails i couldn't even tell if it was your content 😂

Ah that's awesome! Thank you 😍

Pfft, that KZfaq wannabe is already forgotten. Actual talent like Bowie is eternal.

@@elisabethandersen1102 "already forgotten" she literally JUST performed on WWE tonight and topped the rock charts in iTunes in June but ok dude

LOVE Wavves! Might do one about them since i already know quite a bit about them. Thanks for recommending them.

Hey thanks for saying that! It means a lot :)

Ivy May Same, although i became aware of his music only towards the end. Must've been awesome growing up with his music though! Thank you for sharing.

Jaden Wow i didn't know that! I forgot to mention that Alice Cooper had something simmilar going on too. But i'll make sure to check out Peter Gabriel's performances soon. Thanks for adding value in the comments!

More prog though , Bowie went more the velvet underground , New York dolls and Iggy Pop in rock idiom

Jaden and mr gabby never lived out his characters offstage

True . Peter Gabriel got the idea when he and Tony Banks ( Genesis keyboard player ) saw Bowie perform with his backing band , The Hype , at The Roundhouse in London in 1970 ; the same venue Genesis were performing at too .

He really was. I'll definately dedicate a video to The Velvet Underground. That's possibly an even more influential band.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcyVhr17r8XKqIU.html Check out this video for more info about TTWD

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, station to station and class to classy. Yep. Bowie.

What you're saying is true. I think i saw him posing as Aleister Crowley in one of his photos. Really interesting guy.

Joined the Golden Dawn ? He was fascinated by them, Crowley and Western Mysticism. A few if his lyric reference this but I think you greatly exaggerate. Where is the evidence of his membership of any Mystical Order?

Most members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn already died of old age before David Bowie was born. Although many imitators claimed to be associated with the original, none of them really was. Although most if not all occult orders claim to represent genuine heritage, none of them does and blatantly lying about it is part of their game.
