How is it possible to have never met someone and yet adore and miss him so much? He's just absolutely enchanting and breathtaking to listen to and watch.
From the first moment I hear his music and without even knowing who he was. He blows me away and sucks me into his amazing and magical universe.
Know what you mean.

It's incredible to watch this beautiful, intelligent, well spoken, insightful man. he was so special; and he didn't realize it. He was pretty humble; and so freakin funny.
He was very freakin humble
His hair is pure magic.

His nose perfekt.
@/G\ LIGHTNING LODGE 666 super jealous.
And beautiful skin! It glows.
The hairspray is bloody magic!
I love listening to him talk
Sunsun Moo Moo me too 💕
Ohhh God Yes I could listen to him Talkin all day/nite.love his Voice Speaking and singing❤
ITS SO SATISFYING
👍 Agree
God he was goodlooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND INTELLIGENT,AND CREATIVE AND JUST WONDERFUL.
He certainly was "his own man" like he said. There will never be another like him.
never ever.
He was so good at articulating his thoughts. The world lost a great mind when he passed.
Love his way of thinking so much!!
me too.
What's funny is that I don't feel like he was competing with anybody, because he wasnt, but I think they were competing with him, lol!
Me too
43 years old in 1990....Good looking!
Rebecca Quam 43?!! Omg hes sooooooooo handsome ❤
YES!!!!!
43 is just the prime time for Bowie.
grimble In what universe is 40 “retirement age”??? Lol wtf
I'm 44 now lol.
Very humble, down-to-earth person. His enlightened input is missed! R.I.P
His genuine laughter is pure music; he's such a work of art.
o those eyes, that voice, his laugh David Bowie was truly one of a kind and can never be replaced
Very true.......
He was spot on about music....college radio is basically all I listen to these days. Beautiful man and a class act. RIP
Growing up in Bowie's era, we had 'pirate' radio stations in UK - Radio Caroline, Radio Luxembourg. They were ships, moored just outside the 12 mile limit, and so didn't have to follow broadcasting regulations. They played great music like Bowie's, the banned "Je T'aime" (look it up) and also Bohemian Rhapsody in full. Wore these old headphones and listened at night on my battery transistor, under the bedcovers so mum couldn't hear me!
Thank you for posting this...I could listen to him forever.....whether singing or talking...such a unique personality....
me too.......
totally agree.😀❤
yes,me too.
Yep yep and zing 😀👋😘
Agree 👍👍
his teeth, I love those teeth
Pam G yeah that was a bummer that he got them fixed. Tho, he could’ve had a single snagged tooth, literally shooting out of his mouth, like a horn- and he STILL would’ve been Hot af.
I had fangs and loved them, then my Ortho took it upon himself to file them down!🤬I was p’d off to say the least.
Missy Marie FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVES INDIVIDUALITY. I wish he kept his teeth forever. People don’t need braces just get your teeth whitened. Why look like everybody else?!?
David Bowie vampire confirmed!
@@legarconquiment1069 why get them whitened.
@Pam G
Me too, they were part of his look and character, should have kept them
I could watch and listen to him forever. He is such an intelligent gentleman.
my goodness he was such a cool guy
''I'm David Bowie.''

So inspirational
"I''m David Bowie."

On the day he died, his music reached me and got me into it. Now ,1 year and 9 months later, I have no regrets of being a fan of him. David's legacy lives forever 💜💜
It wasn't on the day he died for me. It was a few months later, but the same. I can't get enough and it's been 3 years. I've known about him my whole life but I lost touch with him if you will after the 1980s cause I thought he was gone and wasn't any good to listen to. I had no idea what he was doing. Then I found out after he died. I didn't go look him up right away. I didn't care at first. but I looked him up anyway a few months later to see what all the fuss was about. Now I know. I was looking at "mainstream" comments and looking at the "mainstream" side of things when I should have been looking underground. You'll find someone true...a crystal moon. It's only forever...not long at all.
I miss David so much, although I never had the chance to meet him!
Beautiful Bowie love this man so much never met him oh how I wish such an amazing person miss him always will at least we still have his wonderful music ❤️❤️⚡⚡⚡👩🎤
The guy was absolutely incredible! Smart, gorgeous, humble and very talented. He was an idle to me back in the '90s.
You're Still The Man David Bowie
4:26 "I'm David Bowie". Lol, wish I could say the same.
Marvelous, David Jones. David Bowie,....January 8, 1947. Love you forever!
he was such a stunning individual.. inside and out, what i would have given to meet him. rip starman, always in my heart ❤️
Every interview I watch of him I get amazed of how coherent and up to date he was.
Extraordinarily intelligent.
This Bowie interview has the best insights by far.
You're beautiful and sincere David!
Always so interesting to listen to and so articulate. Love his laugh too 😊
He is so beautiful, and his voice is just amazing 💞💞💞
His laugh is soul food. 💗
David Bowie fangirling over silent movie classics is my new attraction 😍😂
Lost soundtracks of our times: Eno and Bowie's Metropolis.
I love the honesty to the music business he has, especially when he says 'I could not keep its integrity' legendary
Exactly !
great interview
WHat's fabulous with david bowie is that he constantly exposes his own contradiction in a so intelligent and gracious way ... absolutely unbelievable stunning man
Smart and brilliant man, Bowie.
4:02 perfect explanation of the word comparison
i love this man
Such a pleasant impression he always leaves, Davis Bowie, unassuming.
That's right you're David Bowie! Someone special! 🥰👏👍💯💞🙏
beautiful man rip david
I've never seen this before. Thank you so much for posting.
So amazing to hear his thoughts! Love! Thank you!
RIP sir. More humans like that, please.
I feel this interview really highlighted how he was truly "an artist" just doing as the universe wanted him to. Love the part about Dylan - That's what it is! Bowie clearly the same sort of creature. When you're an artist making something pure, even if it's ugly or not 'classical' it will still fly and be its own unique bird. Don't be caged into following the trend, create a trend nobody imagined was there.
Beautiful advice throughout, but the big takeaway: Want money? Be mainstream/plain. Want to birth the thing in your soul? Be 'you' with pride and thank god if it pays the bills. That's 'da struggle' classic of the artist's life, even back in the castle-days.
What a fascinating moment it would have been, to sit down and have a chat with that human. But thanks to interviews like these, it allows one to at least imagine what kind of things he might say, if you got to talk to him. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this precious interview with us! I’m absolutely in love with this wonderful man and I could listen to him talking (or singing) for ever!❤️
Two words.. Smoking hot
Thanks for putting up the interview.

Super candid and immediate Bowie here. Very compelling!
So smart yet so humble and so human :) Bless you David x
that's a great video he seems so relaxed and open but completely in charge
Wow haven’t seen such a frank interview. Really wonderful!
Yes he's using his normal voice, when he speaks posh he's uncomfortable
I really love him 😭❤️
Love this man
Quality! Really fascinating listening to him
Not to take the focus off Bowie, but watching his interviews makes me so happy! I mean I know he's more of a seventies figure head then an 80s but I've noticed that interviews seem to genuinely be interested in him as a musician and not as a celebrity.
Not really only a 70's figurehead. Bowie was a figurehead in just about every decade because he was always re-inventing himself and his music. Starman was brilliant, as was Let's Dance (around 20 years apart) right up to Blackstar in 2016.
I'm not usually one to think he's good looking but he's lovely here.
Love this interview thanks
6:08 David lets out a teehee and proceeds to melt my heart.
You are the one and only fucking David Bowie... No one before, no one after... ❤️❤️❤️
His laugh at 6:12 😂
beauregard it’s so cute!!!
Such a fun interview!
I loved that bit where he's like "rock'n'roll is as serious a career as banking these days" lol also loved his insight on the quality of music deteriorating
His comments hold so much truth in today's music world 2020's. Man how we have fallen since the 1990s. At least Grunge gave the music scene in the 1990s a different look.
Okay, at around 2:23, his nose crinkle! Simply Adorable!
I saw him on this tour. He was like a beautiful angel emerging from the darkness for 'Space Oddity' at the start of the show. I'll never forget it.
Yessssss😍
He is surreal.
I’m always amazed how smooth his skin is. Looks like silk.
Shidling *Milk 😏

@@willovacc_1847 make-up. would you date a guy that wares make-up?
@@outsidethepyramid why not?
@@outsidethepyramid Yes.
The last question was beautiful.
2:22 that eye smile!!!!!!!!!! Stop it!!!!!!!!!!
Weirdly, he's confused "This Is Not America," which he wrote and performed with the Pat Metheny Group, with "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)," which he wrote and performed with Giorgio Moroda. The entirety of his response is discussing "Cat People," up until he segues into talking about the movie ("The Falcon and the Snowman"), which *did* feature "This Is Not America."
His reaction to hearing that Queen was playing on the Metropolis soundtrack is interesting, too. I can't tell if he's disappointed/jealous that he didn't get the same opportunity ("You picked them instead of me?!"), or if he was disgusted that *their* music would be played over his beloved movie. Queen and Bowie are two of my favorite artists (perhaps the top two), so I'm fascinated by that dynamic here, particularly since they actually recorded together. Hell, Bowie even performed at the Freddie Mercury's Tribute Concert.
he had a bitchy, control freak issue with freddy. both were bitchy control freaks, i don't think david could let himself appreciate freddy, because as much as he thinks he has no competition, they were in competition for that movie, and he lost! :)
It's not like he would only remember Sean Penn, he obviously knows he wore a song with Pat Metheny But what really happened? Don't you think he was avoiding answering the question about working with Metheny? To me he was "acting" his answer because he didn't want to recognize Metheny or working on the movie for whatever reason. Having been around Pat some he can be a musical bigot so perhaps Bowie just flat out doesn't like him, didn't like the project and doesn't want to promote it.
@Dehzee
Yeh, that's why he co wrote and recorded Under Pressure with Queen and performed at FM's tribute doncert 🙄 Stop trying to invent drama that didn't exist
Good on him for throwing that last question back on the interviewer himself! DB seems like a man you could happily chat with for hours.
Being a Metheny fan I've always wondered what David Bowie thought about working on falcon and the snowman and here he completely snubbs Pat Metheny and never even addresses the question. I wonder what happened between them that would drive Bowie to avoid talking about the actual song and working with him. In the 80s I heard Pat dis Bowie when someone asked how he liked working with him saying "here's a pop guy" recently after Bowie's death Pat had changed his story saying how amazing it was. But I still wonder what really happened. It's at 9:00
He seems to get mixed up thinking of Cat People (Putting Out The Fire) because he did that song with Moroder, so I think he inadvertently recalled the wrong soundtrack song and the Moroder connection popped into his head. I don't think it was a snub of Metheny at all, This Is Not America was a far better song anyway. No other reason for him to jump to the Moroder anecdote unless he just got his wires crossed with the song names being thrown at him randomly asking for his thoughts all those years later.

Love David Bowie
Bowie brought down that wall.
Missy Marie Indeed he did 🖖🏽👽🙆🏽♀️
Il était un Dieu de la musique ; il en avait la grandeur, la puissance, la créativité, la séduction, l'outrance. Il allait au fond des choses, au bout de ses recherches musicales ; il avait l'oreille pour dénicher LA note, LA phrase musicale, LE rythme novateur. Humain jusqu'à l'excès, il n'a jamais reculé devant les expériences et s'en est nourri pour ouvrir la musique à de nouveaux sons. Il était beau, intelligent, empathique, curieux, et profondément ARTISTE : il a offert au public un Elephant Man plus vrai que nature SANS MAQUILLAGE ! Et des films dans lesquels ses personnages étaient toujours particuliers et hypnotiques. Un homme hors du commun, un artiste hors norme, un musicien de génie : un Dieu sans aucun doute. Une véritable Étoile. 😖
Oui
And yet Bowie is who initiated the bringing of that wall down...
Whatta “Hero”
Dutch Countdown! Remember this like it was yesterday. Where the fuck did Monday go?!

Like Hendrix he was magic

Oh yeah!
Wow....

I think he’s wired here, but he cracks me up. The split second references, and historical knowledge. Sense of humor was second to none. The way he compares himself to Dylan and the Stones is hilarious, but absolutely true.
Bowie, as a curator of music throughout the 90s, would have changed the landscape entirely. Imagine the alternate universe music would be in that 2021.
Did he confound cat people with this is not america?
This interview is very good and the questions are not the usual questions that David was always asked.
Yes, he did.
Why do they never ask him about The Man Who Sold the World Album / Songs ?
M A G I C ! ❤️
“I change all the time. But I’m still me.” 😂😂😂
What are the three bands Bowie mentions at @2:42? I got Sonic Youth, Pixies... and then Glenn Branca?? sorry his accent is tough to follow :-)
And he thought things were bad in the early nineties. His description of the direction music was going in was prophetic, it's now become so slanted towards wanting fame and riches, as opposed to creating art, that finding good music amongst the dross is very challenging,
He's not David Bowie. He's David Jones. Lol.
whats going on with his left eye ball!? is it a lense or an enlarged pupil..? love you bowie
He was punched by his good friend George Underwood a Brilliant Artist, who got into a row with David over a girl. He went for treatment I believe at Moorefields Eye Hospital having a few operations but he developed Anisocoria, which is the why his pupil stayed dilated, it also gives the illusion of different coloured eyes. I saw an interview with George who is a lovely guy, he said he had felt awful about what had happened in the heat of the moment. He and David stayed great friends and made a song together, David forgave him and said it did wonders for Ziggys other worldly look.George designed the Hunky Dory cover, he and David stayed lifelong friends and he was so shocked at the news his best friend had died.Check out his artworks they are Amazing. He did a lot of album covers in the 60's/70's he is so talented, and just like David so humble.
He’s had it since he was a teen have you never seen him that close up?
+jane bell I watched in an interview, where Bowie says he can even remember the girls name the fight was over haha!
I'm disappointed that this clip wasn't from the Channel 4 show Countdown.
Ciggy!!
