  • Well our new patron Davy wanted to take a bathroom break from "Aladdin Sane" and so we are taking a pit stop at "The Man Who Sold The World"! We will back to our usual album reaction next wednesday. Anyways, THIS WAS AWESOME. I heard the live one but this is even better! Mick is just a beast and so is the bassist/producer.

    David Bowie is dead. I am 64 years old. But I can tell you that I played this album over and over when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I first heard it in the basement bedroom of my older cousin. My folks were visiting my uncle and aunt. They wanted to get rid of me so send me down to my cousins bedroom to play records while he was out somewhere. This was the album I picked. Weird how music can bring back far distant memories. When I got my own stereo, this was one of my first records to buy. Great song to hear again.

    A journalist asked Bowie why he was dressed as a woman on the sleeve: "What do you mean?" "Well, you're wearing a dress" "Yes, but it's a man's dress" And indeed Bowie had asked a designer for a man's dress to wear on the cover.

    The entire album is so good, just like Ziggy was! My favorite song is 'She Shook Me Cold', very, very heavy. I read somewhere that Bowie said there was a lot of smoking hash during this time.

    Earl Slick does unreal lead guitar on this song and a shit-load of other songs on David Live, his first live album (2LP set). Was released 1974ish if I remember correctly. Have you ever heard dueling guitars? Imagine if you will guitar vs. a saxophone. Listen to this song live. See if you like it. 🖖

    Tony said of all the albums he's produced, and hes produced a lot, this one's his favorite.
    If you're uncertain about David's voice you have to take this album on a drive through a long rural roaf like when my gf and I would drive from Leesburg, VA up into WV in a big circle while gazing at the passing landscape.

    Bowie and Ronson were separated for 20 years until 1993 when Ronson was suffering from cancer and Bowie called him to perform at the Freddy Mercury tribute concert. ....it was Ronson's last performance and Bowie's tribute to his old colleague.....you can see the song Heroes with Queen+Bowie+Ronson at Wembley Stadium

    If you don’t like hard rock, this will make you rethink that. How could anyone not like this? I love the way Mick Ronson plays the guitar. His taste is perfect. I’d listen to anything he’s part of. I am so glad I got to see him play. And Bowie of course is genius.

    The darkness of this album reminds me of Black Sabbath a bit; in a way this could be Bowie's 'take' on their style. This album came out the same year as Sabbath's first album, so I wouldn't call it copycat by any means, but it shows how two great artists often explored the same paths in that era.

    Tony Tony Visconti went on the produce the black album for the Damned. "Curtain Call" remains to this today to be absolutely epic in every way. It feels like reactors don't like bands that don't seem popular enough to get views, it's a shame when masterpieces get forgotten after a while.

    One of the many things which are unique about Bowie is the way he could totally change his voice. In tone, range, even accent. Famously, when he did "This is not America" with Pat Metheny, after they had basically finished the recording, David asked if Pat had any female singers to add backing vocals. Metheny didn't, so David went into the booth & put down the 2 "female" vocals himself. (Singing the "sha lala lala") ua-cam.com/video/eJ1P2wJijfk/v-deo.html

    This is his most metalish album until the 90s when he did Tin Machine with Reeves Gabrels.
    Check out "Running Gun Blues" or "Madmen".
