One of the best things about this period of Bowie's music is the guitar work of the late Mick Ronson.
That's saying a lot. I mean, to upstage Bowie...just wow. Nobody will ever make records like this again.
I loved Mick Ronson's playing!!! RIP
Even though Bowie always surrounded himself with great guitarists, no-one came close to the connection he had with Ronno. Wonderful arranger as well.
@@Buk99 I fully agree.
Agree. Ronno was brilliant. Not only a great guitarist, but wrote arrangements and played great keyboards too. He also produced a lot of bands albums and did some great work with Ian Hunter.
Ziggy was a persona, a role Bowie played...a fictional rockstar, the Spiders from Mars were his fictional band...I guess you could say that the song is a commentary on star- and fan-dom
Technically it was a real band including mick ronson
Was this song part of a theme album?
@@willasacco9898 The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I would say musical theatre rather than a simple "theme album".
This song is a shot a Sir Paul. Left handed guitar player. Broke up the band.
@@adrianbenson28 That is an incisive observation. Only DB could have produced a musical theatrical concept album like that.
The whole album that this track is on is all themed and should be heard as a whole if possible
MUST be heard as a whole. IMHO this is not the best track either.
at least once should be heard in it's entirety.
All albums should be heard as a whole.
@@dayleclarke4433 that's true, but also a lot to ask of someone just trying to get a feel for an artist.
Epic album!
What a freaking genius Bowie was. The world is a poorer place without him.
The album has to be taken as a whole. It’s loosely based on a concept of the world ending and an alien messiah named Ziggy descending to earth to save us all, but gets distracted and becomes a rockstar. It begins with Five Years and ends with rock and roll Suicide, but a lot of mesmerizing music happens in between! Try Moonage Daydream, it rocks the hardest, and yep, you’ll have a hard time with the lyrics, but that’s half the fun of it!
This probably helped when he had to play an an alien in the movie "The Man Who Fell To Earth".
Thanx for saving me the work of explaining.
@@bobcorbin3294 Did You Know? There's a remake of that movie in progress.
I never got that Ziggy is an alien. Ziggy is the "starman?"
Hmm .... I might hafta relisten to the album with that thought in mind. I've always considered Ziggy just another human.
@@artao5 Well I hope that goes better than most remakes!
The planet earth is 40 million years old. Be thankful that you were on it the same time as David Bowie.
Ziggy Stardust is one of Bowie's many character's he personified. In the song Ziggy gets so full of himself with fame he destroy's himself. His backup band is called The Spiders from Mars.
You should check out some photo's of Ziggy. You'll love it.
Played it left hand …three piece band.,..Ziggie was Hendrix bro
some ppl just don't get it. Strange I know. Best album ever IMO
You should 100% absolutely watch this done/performed live….The video is out there. David Bowie was unquestionably one of the great entertainers, cultural icon and songwriter we have ever seen. The entire world misses him….RIP my friend.
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars is a story album and is designed to be listened to from start to finish. I named my cat Ziggy Stardust after his persona. It's honestly one of my favourite Bowie eras.
Yes, I have a ginger cat named Ziggy!
Ziggy stardust and the Spiders from Mars is a concept album, the main character of which is a bisexual, alien who comes to Earth and becomes a rock star. Its about rock and roll, sex, drugs and the end of the world. It's pretty amazing
The film was called The man who fell to Earth.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 similar, but not the same. Ziggy was a very specific storyline, The Man Who Fell to Earth was more abstract, and took elements from a number of Bowie's albums
Brad & Lex, Bowie's "Changes", "Young Americans" and Suffragette City" are next for you!!
Ashes to Ashes, the official video is MUST!
@@tm3008 - Yeah,...
They've reviewed several songs from Bowie from different eras.
"Ashes to Ashes" and "Jump (She Said)" would fill in most of the gaps.
The song was easy to follow. It is about a fictional character, Ziggy who played guitar in a band, The Spiders from Mars. However Ziggy was so bloody good the fans were all over him and mainly ignored the rest of the band. The band grew jealous of Ziggy's success and wondered if they should "break his hand" thus ruining his ability to play the guitar or just "break up the band". However, they could not deny that Ziggy could play and they certainly did not mind the fame he brought them so it was a catch 22 for them.
The truth is...David Bowie was not from this world. This song is a true story. No one will ever believe it, which makes it even more special. He just brought us music from the 'other world', the world of our fore-fathers. But it's better to believe this was all a trip, for our own sakes. Long Live Ziggy Stardust, never forgotten but always loved. X
David Jones was from Brixton. Just up the road. Still miss him
I was eleven when I first heard this , it turned me on to Music , and a love of Bowie . I saw him five time , but for me the best was Glasto 2000 , it was like someone put a pound in the duke box he sang Hit after Hit, the guy was just class ..R.I.P Mate xxx
Mick Ronson is a legend guitarist and helped make Bowie
Called him his Jeff Beck
Mick Ronson was the king of the Les Paul, just my opinion!
Ziggy Stardust, was a character that Bowie became in the 70's. The style of clothes and the lighting bolt across his face, were all Ziggy Stardust.
Saw David Bowie in Dec 1972 when he was using this persona. I was 14 and my first concert, it was absolutely amazing.
I was waiting for it to keep flowing into "Suffragette City" the following song on the album which has a killer intro.
Almost positive that Ziggy is Bowie's alter-ego. As the character he created, and his own internal self-perception. The early 70's was a funky time.
Nope
To this day I still get a shiver down my spine at the line " He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar"
Early Bowie is the best, one of the greatest albums in his history. Ziggy Stardust was his alter ego in that time. Check the movie if you are interested. What an adorable man with many talents, R.I.P David Robert Jones.
I still have Hunky Dory on my playlist.
Totally agree.
This is Bowie in his prime legendary young self and his own personal favourite period because as most of us older folk know, he went through quite a few ch-ch-ch-changes (sorry!)
😁👌
Brad did a great job with the breakdown.
One of the greatest records of all time, completely original, completely mind blowing and game changing. Including his image - wearing makeup etc in an era where that took some real bravery
This is the title song on one of the greatest albums of all time. Find the time someday to listen to the whole thing. In the meantime Starman, this song, Suffragette City, and Rock & Roll Suicide are great ways to sped a few minutes apiece. Rock & Roll Suicide has amazing lyrics and imagery, and despite the title, is a hopeful and giving song.
Honestly, I think "Rock & Roll Suicide" is my favorite Bowie song, as hard as "favorite" is to be definitive with.
@@andyfletcher3561 Yep. Either Rock and Roll Suicide or Under Pressure. That's how I feel today.
They've done Starman before. And, of course, out of context they didn't quite "get it."
Rock & Roll Suicide is not only my favorite bowie song. It is my favorite song, period. A very important song to many.
The live version is tremendous
Ziggy was a guitar player in a band called The Spiders From Mars. But his guitar playing became so good that the fans cheered for him and be became so famous that it was now Ziggy's band. The other band members became so frustrated that they bitched about it and wondered if they should crush his sweet hands so that he couldn't play guitar anymore. Listen to the lyrics again.
No matter what, every Bowie track you listen to will throw you for a loop. They call him the music chameleon
That riff... Mick Ronson was so underrated.
CHANGES,
HEROES
DAVID BOWIE
"We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon" - Woodstock by Crosby Stills and Nash, written by Joni Mitchell.
Singer Vince Taylor is one of the main inspirations for the character Ziggy Stardust., he was a quick burnout ...
Guitarist Mick Ronson was also a key part of Dylan’s epic ‘74-75 Rolling Thunder Revue tour. His recollection years later was that Bob never spoke to him even once the whole time. 😱🤣
BTW, Brad is right. He had to metaphorically "kill" Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, in order to move on.
Mick Ronson was his better half, and really got the shaft.
Great guitarist and producer, but got no credit for any of it.
Died young of liver cancer. If you want to know the Bowie story, watch the BBC documentary "Cracked Actor".
Fascinating.
Mick Ronson was amazing. Think I was more in awe of him than Bowie back then. Bowie/Ronson were the dream team.
The song Sorrow on his album Pinups is one of my favorites.
Absolute class .
Bowie! A genius! One of my very favorite performers!
Do Moonage Daydream next!
Who doesn't love David Bowie. The voice (he probably could have sung opera if he wanted), the characters and lyrics and the sound was always top shelf. I saw him him late in the game on the Let's Dance tour and even though it had become more Pop by then, it was still good.
Ziggy Stardust was a character David Bowie created, and performed as, in concert and on stage in that era. Ziggy was David's alter ego. this was the David Bowie of the early 1970s.
When bowie was bowie. Best album of his catalog 🤘❤️
Bowie's glam rock era the 70s brilliant times to have grown up in best decade ever
Simply the perfect description of show business, Bowie was a genius.
David Bowie transports you to another universe. Full Stopp
Bowie went through phases. The recognizable first one was Ziggy Stardust. Then the Diamond Dog, the Thin White Duke, The Berlin Trilogy, New Wave, etc.
This song is so bad ass, one of my favourite Bowie tunes.
“I was just feeling like I was starting to get Bowie, starting understand Bowie, y’know what I mean…”
Yes. Yes, we do. Happened to me every time he released a new album.
It's about Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars! I think the harder you try to figure out Bowie's music the more opaque it becomes.
Take a look at his stage presence from 1972 to 75. That was him.
Bowie had many characters in his early years. Ziggy was a hip rockstar with a band called the spiders from mars
Burrough's cut method for the lyrics. Literally scissors for the sentences. He used it a lot.
The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, my older brother used to listen to it all day long.
Bowie was a musical pioneer who set the standard. He created not one but several genres of music. He was a method actor, also an incredible musician and a poetical lyricist rolled into one. You really need to react to Bowie in some kind of chronological order, to appreciate six decades of his metamorphosis and his true genius. Ps. I do really do love your show, BTW Brad & Lex. ❤
You guys need to listen to the album as a whole or watch the last concert he played with the spiders from Mars in 1973 in order to fully appreciate it. David Bowie was quite innovative and imaginative.
The album is a concept album about an Alien.
THe 70's was the Guitar Hero era, Iomie, Paige, and Blackmore, and every guitar player wanted to be but wasnt. But they were the song, like now is the era of the vocalist, that was the era of guitars.
My late brother was a huge fan of David Bowie and he always told me that Bowie wrote Ziggy Stardust an alien who came to earth and got caught up in Rock and Roll. Also "Ziggy" character is based on Iggy Pop.
Beginning of Art rock, mix of punk and early new wave
I've heard this song hundreds of times over decades but I've never seen the lyrics before. Wow! Those are some far out lyrics! Spiders from Mars!
Saw Howie four times over 25 years...no show was the same, but spectacular!!!
Bowie was waving goodbye to his old self and putting on his new shoes!! Simple!! 👍
It is a chapter of the LP.
you guys are awesome! love to watch your reactions!
“The Next Day” video version is provocative and super rocking though DB was in his 60’s
Guys...you have to watch official music videos whenever ya can with Bowie, not optional; he was as visual an artist as he was musical. Esp the "Ashes to Ashes" era, etc.
Ziggy is a concept album meant to be understood as a whole n played at maximum volume.
Bowie is playing n singing the character of Ziggy
Lot of good music there!
David Bowie...what a legend
In England kids went to school dressed as "Ziggy" the persona for this period.
As with all concept albums, Ziggy needs to be listened to, from start to finish.
If you dig Bowie you should check "Sorrow" and "The Jean Genie".
When I was little I watched labyrinth and bc I get obsessed with things, I became obsessed with David Bowie. My ex step dad who had eclectic taste in music found out and bought me the Ziggy Stardust album. I loved it, tho my friends were all like, what the actual fck are you listening to.
this was a real band . a sight to see
When David came to the states in 1971 he saw the Velvet Undergound. After the show he talked with Lou Reed Backstage. Later he found out that Lou had left the band and he actually had conversed with Doug Yule who was impersonating Reed. Being uncomfortable performing as himself the light bulb went off "I really can invent a persona (a plastic rock star) to perform my material" and Ziggy was born. Other inspiration for Stardust was Vince Taylor, a rocker whom Bowie met that had become deluded to the point that he thought he was Jesus. These and other things went into Ziggy Stardust the Alien Rock Messiah and, as the time was right and the world was ready, it worked.
This LP was released on the same Day as Roxy Musics self titled debut in the UK. A great day for innovative music. Try Roxy Music re-make/ re-model.
One of the most epic track ever recorded!!!!!!!!
David Bowie, "Ziggy: I wanted to define the archetype, messiah, rock star. That's all I wanted to do; and I used the trappings of Kabuki theater, mime technique, uhm, fringe New York music; like my references were Velvet Underground..." (ua-cam.com/video/81H5PT7ANjc/v-deo.html)
David Bowie was his own persona and people just enjoyed his unique music with strange lyrics.
1. he was an early "performance artist" from art school etc 2. He wanted to create a persona and a show to perform, including the lyric narratives 3. It was common at this time to have "themed" albums and therefore each song is part of a whole album. 4. Bowiwe was also known to use random methods to create lyrics, like cutting up magazine text, then lucky dip picking those lines and using them as the line etc.. so maybe it's all random?
Yes!! Finally, you guys did the thing. Thank you😁😁😁😁😁😁
During the Ziggy Stardust tour Bowie would go through airports with Ziggys make-up on and hairdo.
A small piece from a flawless album.
Give it up guys, you don't get Bowie at all! 😂 It's a shame as he was a genius!
it is a story, you should listen to the whole album.. so good!! peace and love from Canada
By far my favorite Bowie song
You have some great commentary here from other viewers - on this song as part of an entire concept album. I hope you will watch the live version of this song available here on youtube (from 1972) in which Bowie actually becomes Ziggy Stardust on stage. Remember he was doing this at a time when the "feel good" music of the '60's was winding down and the folksy "we're in this together" rock of the 70's was beginning. There was simply nobody else doing the type of performance art that Bowie was doing. Though it's out of order in your listening experience of Bowie - this is really the beginning of your journey through his music. I'm glad you have done many Bowie reactions. Thanks for this one.
It's sorta based on Jimi Hendrix.
But it's also a Bowie Character.
Ziggy is a Rock Star from outer space.... the David Bowie alter ego.
I'm crying at Brad's confused lool 😂
The album was called Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I think that explains it all.
re the vocals - Bowie was a one take vocal artist! and that was in the days before 'autotune'. He could sing in many styles!
Bowie's 'Star Man' period.
" Im just startin you understand Bowie" he will always keep you guessing. " Thursday's child" and "Life on Mars" 2 of my favs
Ziggy is Jimi Hendrix. "He played it left hand". "He took it too far - but boy could he play guitar!"
This David Bowie era stuff was very influential for glam / "hair" metal
Brad nailed it with his conclusion
David had many alter-egos - right from the early days of his career - he was driven, at least in part, by the notion that a single person could be built up of more than one personality - this is most clearly introduced in the lyrics to 'The Man Who Sold the World' where, in the title track, he has a conversation with himself...
LMAO! Yep "figure out Bowie"! You do that
Ahh yes the British glam rock scene of the early and mid 70s...Roxy Music,Mott the Hoople,Slade and others
Ziggy is a person form another world. Came to earth and became a rock star.
This song takes me Everytime
Ziggy and the other stuff was a fantasy world. The thing with Bowie was he went through many different phases, each time with a new sound. Give 'Golden Years' and 'Fashion' a listen; they're totally unrelated.
Ziggy is based upon Hendrix. But it’s Bowie’s re-incarnation of him, with a Snow White tan.
Just like the man who sang in a concrete after being shot
. There's a natural mystic flowingn the air . If you listen to it you will here
I've loved every persona Bowie inhabited, over the decades.
The bravest, most influential artist in contemporary music.
He landed on "Plastic Soul" after the "Diamond Dogs" album. A fascinating career AND person.
