oowee Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sad sad loss. Clubbing late 70's early 80's was made with Bowie music. Lanchester poly, Bunty's, Pink Parrot, Tic Toc, Mr G's thank you for making my time so awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Monkey Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was never really a fan, but as a life long music lover and sometimes guitarist I can appreciate the huge influence he's had on so many musicians. As Gordon R said, a man ahead of his time. A very sad loss. Is there life on mars? there probably is now! RIP David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol p Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 David Bowie. A genuine rock star who introduced diversity before it was fashionable. A brillant icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) I have to confess that when I read this morning on the Web that he had died I didn't really feel much about him one way or the other. That sounds a terrible thing to say I know but what I mean is that I feel his music didn't really have much bearing on my life. As the day wore on, and more and more of his songs were played on Radio 2, I found myself thinking 'oh yeah, I like this one'. Now, after watching 'David Bowie: Starman' on Ch4 I realise just how his music had touched people, myself included. I seem to recall hearing that he was a big advocater of the Web, singing its praises long before broadband came in to being but not much about that seems to have been mentioned. Rest in Peace Mr Bowie. You may have departed this mortal coil but your legacy will continue to influence many in the years to come.

Fuji Shooter Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Never really a huge fan but listening to Heroes this morning is was a legend of a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Fan or not his weirdness and poetry put this country firmly on the music and cultural map . Alot to be said for free expression in these times and the likes of Bowie should be cherished .Not to mention he used the absolute cream of the musicians .

vole Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Never really a huge fan but listening to Heroes this morning is was a legend of a tune. When you think about even this popular song ,the keyboards ,bass etc it is just so unlike anything else .Can't think of one Bowie equivalent artist only imitators . You can compare and contrast many other bands but Bowie is just different . Cremated today ,no fuss . Expect his funeral is in the music he produced since becoming ill .
