What are you talking about? For decades this was the album that was used as the benchmark for all subsequent Bowie albums as "His best since Scary Monsters." So much so, it became a cliche.
@@ThePaulv12 Bowie had a talent for just "knowing" what guitarists would be a perfect fit for what he was trying to do. And he only worked with the BEST. This would not have been the same album without Fripp. Bowie could just KNOW that. True artist.
This is from the first Bowie record I bought for myself back in the day when ‘Let’s Dance’ was testing up the charts. I wanted to check out his older material working backwards. This was the previous album, which I bought on cassette. I played this first track and was astonished - the Japanese woman speaking, him shredding his voice almost in the first lyric, Robert Fripp’s other worldly guitar and ending in Bowie screaming “Shut up!” at the end. I was floored. And it’s only track one!
It's the first Bowie track I listened to! Listening to King Crimson, randomly turned this on in 2012 when I found out Robert Fripp was the guitarist. Now I can't stop listening to almost the entire backlog.
David Bowie isn't really dead. He's very much alive in his musical legacy, and in the hearts of those who love him. I just hope his spirit inspires other musicians to be as great as he was.
Rachel Shaskin I see what you mean by that. Some people, and of course musicians, liked to be inspired by the legendary David Bowie. God rest his soul.
Rachel Shaskin They can try, but there will NEVER be another David Jones! Radio and mainstream ignore artists who think outside the box. Even when he went ‘mainstream’ he was still far different than the rest. Music industry needs a trillion artist with his courage and strength.
People overuse the phrase "ahead of his time," and here, it's not only wrong, again, but an insult. Bowie was out of time. There's no one like him. He existed in his own space and time.

one of my favorite tracks on my favorite david bowie album. this album is the perfect combination of his later works and the heights of his berlin trilogy, and it's absolutely jamming
The Pixies being the most influential post punk band is very debatable. Other contenders are Joy Division, Hüsker Dü (who had a massive influence on Pixies) or The Jesus & Marychain.
A couple of friends and I excitedly brought this record home from the record store (seems so quaint now) sparked up a fat joint, put this on and our minds were completely blown. Still gives me shivers every time
Considered to be Bowie's last great album three years before the commercially successful Let's Dance (1983) - I thought it was tripe when I first heard it. After 3 listens I think Scary Monsters rivals or betters Ziggy (1972) Station to Station (1976) Low (1977) and Heroes (1978) as his highpoint in creative expression. A 5-star masterpiece.
I would like to emphsis how much we have lost by losing David at such a young age he truly was one of the greats that changed my life for sure!!!!!!!!!!!
Loud amplifier, he knew where to stand in relation to what notes he was playing (the distance from the speaker changes to get the effect,) a healthy does of fuzz, and he rolled off the tone knob until the fundamental note he was playing didnt dissolve into harmonic feedback

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, but what most amazes me about "Scary Monsters" is that David Bowie recorded it around the same time that he was performing as Joseph/John Merrick in The Elephant Man stage play on Broadway. The following 37 minute documentary shows the seemingly impossible metamorphosis he manages by becoming Merrick using only his face, his voice, his body, and a cane, and then how he magically transforms back into David Bowie, the once-in-an-eon rock star (and painter and film actor) we knew him to be, and then, just as suddenly, back into the body of Merrick again. I'll never understand how one mortal man could have ever been this gifted. RIP angel. You'll never be forgotten. ua-cam.com/video/F1fTtwGqdQw/v-deo.html
I came to this album from Low and on first hearing thought that Bowie had absolutely lost it. It was jarring, discombobulating, and hard-edged, but after 2 listens I was hooked. Made me take up guitar.
My mom told me that she hates bowie because of his "weird and bad singing" so i'll show her this tomorrow on my brand new bluetooth speakers, so she can change her mind :]
Yep. 2nd place - intro track on Radiohead's 'OK Computer' album. Quite simply wow. The opening track alone blows you away. This album is something else. 3rd place - "Zooropa' from U2's Zooropa album. Their most misunderstood, but imo best album. 4th - 'Astrodyne' from Ultravox's 'Vienna' album - synth pop masterpiece oozing style and class, aswell as Midge Ure's soaring vocals, and 5th - 'As one' from Suede's 'The Blue Hour' album. It sets the tone for a disturbing yet grippingly dark album. Best album of 2018 by miles. All very different albums, but where the opening track of each grabs hold of you and takes you on a journey.
I love the cacophony of this track. So much going on, the screeching vocal and the deliberate discord of Fripp's guitar could make it unpleasant to listen to, but it sounds brilliant. I love the SHAAAAR AAAAP at the end, always sing along to that :) Did he ever do it live? That would be a challenge
Spine tingles right from the start. Smoke a couple,lay on the carpet facing the ceiling and enter a musical trip through Alice's looking glass. That guitar playing by Fripp and Belew it just extra terrestrial.

@@pup1008 thanks ,I didn't know that screeching amazing guitar work was Fripp , he's stupidly good . The whole albums such a great piece of work . Reading more of the comments it's great to see how many others appreciate this album .
@@nickturnbull4105 To be honest, even as someone who has been listening to Bowie for probably more that 45 years, it's only recently that I have realised what a great album it is! I would definitely say his last truly great album. I've always loved it & have the original UK pressing on vinyl but it's only over recent years & learning to play the guitar myself, that I realise how clever it is. Even Bowie's singing is beautifully off key on the right occasion. Might even have now slipped in the *Top 10* of 1200 or so albums I've somehow amassed!
Fripp without Eno or with ha ha . Dave Sylvian and Fripp ,etc etc , Fripp Meister . Inovater , this man can play anything , any kinda mood, swing , boogie ,jazz , and play it with Fripp style , he totally rules in my guitar world ,and he's not a show off .
Eric Clapton ? Dave Gilmour ? I just don't get it , lovely fellas I'm sure , but I don't get it . Lou Reed ,Sonic Youth , Siouxie ,Ride , Slowdive ,and so many others ,not Neil Young , ghastly stuff that ,don't get that at all ,that's why we're all so different eh ,The Eagles anyone ?
Hearing echoes of Lennon's 'Mother' screams from his Primal album here in 'It's No Game' - - it's very definite to me. Meanwhile Blur in 1994 may have found a little wry inspiration in Bowie's song, I'm guessing.
@@theother1406 i am around your age & was curious.... bowie has influenced me too.... at this stage in life aside from broadening my musical tastes bowie has given me a valuable tool in re to how to peer deeper into the media and culture we live in. hes underrated in that regards. he had a picasso/ blonde on blonde dylan like Eye.
Is Bowie the best of all? I'm auditioning for a guitar spot in a local band . I received a list of 12 songs to learn in two weeks. I'll be expected to play these songs , they are all David Bowie. As I've been listening and getting familiar with these numbers. Having listened over and over, 10 times a day plus learning them, I'm answering the question. I think he is .

Like a voice from my dimension intruding in the world I have to live in. I love him dearly here.
There's a slight echo on it too, which adds to the whole mood of the song.

Even the intro is far above other mainstream artists.
One of the best opening tracks on vinyl ever. I still remember the hairs standing.
Yep, me too!!
Definitely
... and the 2nd version, to close the LP is not too bad, too !! I was twenty in 1980, and I can say; this blew our minds !...
Robert Fripp's guitar pulverizes the landscape, that's some heavy shit. Fripp & Bowie create a halcyon storm.
Love when he wails "No more free steps to HEAVEN!" Fantastic. Scary Monsters and Lodger are DB at his best, IMO.
Agreed.
Respectfully,
he’s singing “Three Steps to Heaven”.
It’s an Eddie Cochran reference.

Well because you can't be in the future because the concept isn't real , more is the concept abstract known as time
There is no time , there is only an eternal opening of consciousness in the brain cells of Bowie's soul .

Fripp is God
I absolutely adore his 'out of tune' singing on this. :-) always make me smile
he did that on purpose !
I sing all of his songs like that. And everyone elses. Love the Japanese bits, translation anyone?
The Japanese woman is saying exactly the same thing as Bowie! love search engines and replying to myself!
It conveys the feeling of anger and panic at the same time. As opposed to Part 2. Which is much more nuianced.
I don't think there's a single moment where he's out of tune. Thinking so is a result of the mix of his cracked voice and Fripp's guitar.
The tiny guitar solo in the middle of this song is one of my favourite pieces of guitar work ever, it's so fucking satisfying. Fripp is a genius!
Fripp is a God
Robert Fripp is something else. Totally subversive ... he looks like an accountant but his sound!! Never overplays, all about texture.
One of the best opening in all Bowie discography.
station to station , stay , 1984 , ashes to ashes etc..🤗
Best opening is Station to Station

Modern 36 years after. The four people who dislike this have no taste
You just loyal Bowie fan to the bone.
I also very like his music but have to admit that not all his song are good to replay and enjoyable
But this song is both. When post punk was on he became post punk. The man was a chameleon.

Frank Black heard this song and decided an entire band should sound this way. So, in essence, Bowie influenced the most influential post-punk band.
sarnosphere And interestingly enough, Bowie was a big Pixies fan.
Bowie & his Realy Great Band at the time inc Gail covering Pixies "Cactus" Live & in Studio~Peerless!
Charles Thompson did the same thing.
The Pixies is one of Bowie's favorite bands. Look for UA-cam vids of him talking about the Pixies.
The Pixies being the most influential post punk band is very debatable. Other contenders are Joy Division, Hüsker Dü (who had a massive influence on Pixies) or The Jesus & Marychain.

I would definitely say his last truly great album. I've always loved it & have the original UK pressing on vinyl but it's only over recent years & learning to play the guitar myself, that I realise how clever it is. Even Bowie's singing is beautifully off key on the right occasion.
Might even have now slipped in the *Top 10* of 1200 or so albums I've somehow amassed!
Fripp without Eno or with ha ha . Dave Sylvian and Fripp ,etc etc , Fripp Meister . Inovater , this man can play anything , any kinda mood, swing , boogie ,jazz , and play it with Fripp style , he totally rules in my guitar world ,and he's not a show off .
Eric Clapton ? Dave Gilmour ? I just don't get it , lovely fellas I'm sure , but I don't get it . Lou Reed ,Sonic Youth , Siouxie ,Ride , Slowdive ,and so many others ,not Neil Young , ghastly stuff that ,don't get that at all ,that's why we're all so different eh ,The Eagles anyone ?
To be insulted by these fascists it’s so degrading.
It s no game ! Cendres pour cendres major Tom.
A reference to his visit to the Blitz club?
its no GAAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAaaAAaaaAaAAAAaME
Robert Fripp made this album eternal....that guitar..........
Incredible...
Hearing echoes of Lennon's 'Mother' screams from his Primal album here in 'It's No Game' - - it's very definite to me. Meanwhile Blur in 1994 may have found a little wry inspiration in Bowie's song, I'm guessing.
Miss you bowie. Absolute legend!!
David Bowie give me such a music education it's the last for the rest of my life
Bowie with Fripp is orgasmic. Visconti nailed this production. That outro is so Fripp!
I should write a book on how David Bowie taught me everything I needed to know about my future when I was 17 when this amazing album came out.
are you an actor, writer?
@@kelvinkloud no
@@theother1406 singer?
@@kelvinkloud oh.. I sing along, in this case, I scream along. I lived on a street named "Kelvin" once.
@@theother1406 i am around your age & was curious.... bowie has influenced me too.... at this stage in life aside from broadening my musical tastes bowie has given me a valuable tool in re to how to peer deeper into the media and culture we live in. hes underrated in that regards. he had a picasso/ blonde on blonde dylan like Eye.
This song is such an orgasmic sonic knockout, only a genius like Bowie could write this...RIP genius!
Is Bowie the best of all? I'm auditioning for a guitar spot in a local band . I received a list of 12 songs to learn in two weeks. I'll be expected to play these songs , they are all David Bowie. As I've been listening and getting familiar with these numbers. Having listened over and over, 10 times a day plus learning them, I'm answering the question. I think he is .
It's so emotional impact
I love it
Love everything Bowie!!!
this blew my head
Fripp. If King Crimson never existed, this would still be a lifetime's achievement.
Oh man, what can I say?...there is no other, ..I love this track 😉👍👌👊👊👊
I just wanted to hear it this afternoon!
