DUKE 2,528 Posted January 12, 2013 Welcome to the thread dedicated to the legend that is... D A V I D ___ B O W I E Performing as the Thin White Duke during the Isolar II World Tour 1976 N E W S David's first album in ten years, The Next Day, is set to be released internationally on March 12 (a few days earlier in some territories). The album features his recently released single which takes a look back to the past, at David's time in Berlin and how things have or have not changed. His longtime collaborator Tony Visconti (producer of the infamous Berlin trilogy including the albums Low, "Heroes" and Lodger) describes the sound of the record to be very rock-inspired, hinting at similarities to "Heroes." The sound may not be the only similar aspect to David's legendary, ground-breaking album from 1977. The album artwork to The Next Day, conceived by Jonathan Barnbrook and David himself, is an altered image of the "Heroes" album cover. Open the spoiler for further information... T R A C K L I S T I N G S T A N D A R D E D I T I O N T R A C K L I S T I N G "The Next Day" (3:51) "Dirty Boys" (2:58) "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" (3:56) "Love Is Lost" (3:57) "Where Are We Now?" (4:08) "Valentine's Day" (3:01) "If You Can See Me" (3:15) "I'd Rather Be High" (3:53) "Boss of Me" (4:09) "Dancing Out in Space" (3:24) "How Does the Grass Grow?"

candybun 239 Posted January 12, 2013 I'm too scared to listen to the single. I love Bowie, but i'm afraid it won't the Bowie i love. Alladin Sane is my favourite album. 0 Quote At night, disco goddess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUKE 2,528 Posted January 12, 2013 I'm too scared to listen to the single. I love Bowie, but i'm afraid it won't the Bowie i love. Alladin Sane is my favourite album. If you love the "Heroes" album, you will love "Where Are We Now?" The ending is everything... Frankly, Aladdin Sane along with the Ziggy Stardust character never did anything for me. From Diamond Dogs up to Earthling (with the exception of the boring mess that is Never Let Me Down) - that is my cup of Bowie Tea™. Especially the late 1970s with Station to Station and the Berlin Trilogy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viva 3,168 Posted January 12, 2013 I wish I could live inside Bowie's brain for a day or two just to see how his creative process happens from scratch. Love him. He is a genius. And to be honest even if the album is bellow my expectations I wouldn't mind since Bowie already , in my opinion, exceeded in so many ways so many times. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,206 Posted January 14, 2013 Thank you for this thread Now admittedly I'm not very hardcore about Bowie. I definitely haven't heard all his albums. But what I have I love and the new single is great. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Limelight 4,707 Posted February 22, 2013 My sister is a Bowie stan and she convinced me to download his discography ( which I did) but I listened to one song and I didn't like it so much ( and his voice was awkward). Any suggestions? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elllipsis 1,441 Posted August 12, 2013 Aladdin Sane, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & Hunky Dory I'll also forever love him for stanning for Syd Barrett since the 70s and to this day. "Barrett was a huge influence on me, absolutely. I thought Syd could do no wrong. I thought he was a massive talent. He was the first I has ever seen in the middle '60 who could decorate a stage. He has this strange mystical look to him, with painted black fingernails and his eyes fully made up. He was like some figure out of an indonesian play or something, and he wasn't altogether of this world." - David Bowie, 1990 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lza-ZU0ozM4 And I love his cover of 'See Emily Play' even if Syd wasn't exactly nice about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aFWL5fdjYY And his Arnold Layne tribute with Dave Gilmour. :flutter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJuCo5M05bU 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StationToStation 249 Posted August 12, 2013 Finally, we have a Bowie thread A couple days ago I was on vacation in London and bought loads of Bowie stuff + been to the 'David Bowie Is..' exhibition (it was really amazing). My favorite album from him is 'Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)' and favorite song probably 'Ashes To Ashes' or 'Teenage Wildlife' I really hope this topic won't flop, because he's just 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The exhibition is also coming to Sao Paulo, Toronto, Groningen, Chicago and Paris. So maybe if you ever go on vacation to these cities you can still see the exhibition 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only know that in end 2015 it comes to Groningen (I read that in an article), and because before Groningen the exhibition is in Paris, I think around begin 2015 or something, but I'm not sure about that 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauri8396 85 Posted August 12, 2013 YES. A Bowie thread!On the topic of introductions, David Bowie's my favorite musical artist of all, this despite not having heard any of his 90's albums (save for Outside and parts of Black Tie White Noise), or his mid-70's ones (except for Station to Station). My favorite albums would have to be The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Station to Station, and Low. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StationToStation 249 Posted November 15, 2013 *bump* Any thoughts on The Next Day Extra? Has anyone gotten it? I only have the standard version of 'The Next Day', but I will buy it soon enough! My favorite off TNDE is probably 'Atomica', it's really catchy The remix of 'Love Is Lost' has really grow on me, first I was like meh, but after I listened to it a couple times it's really amazing (especially the 'Ashes To Ashes' parts) I really forgot that this thread existed 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
