Sidney Crosley Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Probably one of the, if not the most respected/beloved musician of our time. Many people love the Beatles, but many dislike them too. I find it hard to believe that there is really anyone who doesn't like at least a few Bowie songs. I have always seen him as a bringer-together of fans of all music styles. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappingtheyears Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Proper legend. He will be sorely missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Terrible news to see this morning. Bowie was, is, and always will be a true trendsetter and a true original. His impact on music is enormous. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 His NYC home is across the street from my office - he used to have a space in this building too. It's a crowd there. The people are cool but the news trucks are making it a bit more of a scene than needed. In 2004 a co-worker and I were going to take a ride up to the Bronx on a project. He was distracted for a moment while pulling away from the curb in front of the office and didn't see a jaywalker trying to cut in front of our car. I screamed at the top of my lungs - closest I've been personally to running someone over. The person was face down on our hood with both arms splayed palms down. When the insanely frightened person looked up it was Bowie. We almost killed him on his walk to his office. He was pure Gentleman, accepted our rattled apology and walked off without a bit of anger expressed. We debated if we'd have to leave the country or what if that accident had happened - I figured yes. The man was a genius as a personality and performer. Pushed Rock n Roll and sexuality into realms it had barely touched previously. I'll be spinning Ziggy all night. TFP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Grew up listening to Bowie. He shaped my thoughts on music, life, and art, from teenage angst to mature adult.

chkadea Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be heroes, for ever and ever What'd you say? He was such a beautiful and inspirational man, with nothing but love and wisdom to spread, especially for those who had always been outside of the mainstream.

Twistedshabazz Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 One of the first LPs i ever bought 15 years ago was ziggy stardust. Dude is such a monster. Last time he came to pittsburgh was about 12 years ago and i didnt go. Kicked myself ever since and hoped he would do a proper tour again. True pioneer in rock and he will be missed.

jhulud Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I had always appreciated Bowie and his music but didn't delve much into anything until I caught a few of the dates of the Outside tour in 1995 with Nine Inch Nails. It was then that it all essentially clicked for me with Bowie's music and really understood it and appreciated it even more. Just this past Friday night, I was at the SSPU show with a buddy and we got to talking about Bowie and his new record and all and I commented that if he were to tour for it, we'd definitely had to make sure to go to a show or two. Getting the news this morning has me even more crushed and as sad as everyone has been expressing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezus Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've been listening to his albums all day. I almost lost it when I heard Where Are We Now on my way home. Probably one of the, if not the most respected/beloved musician of our time. Many people love the Beatles, but many dislike them too. I find it hard to believe that there is really anyone who doesn't like at least a few Bowie songs. I have always seen him as a bringer-together of fans of all music styles. RIP Oh nah, my dad fucking hated him. When I told him about Blackstar three days ago and how much of a fucking living legend Bowie was, he just scoffed, saying he couldn't sing for shit (and he probably disliked his androgynous appearance, too). After reading an article about him this morning however, I guess he at least respects him now smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynegretzky Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 So shitty. Went on a nice Bowie listening streak over the weekend in light of his birthday and new album release. Waking to this news this AM was not good. RIP to my first favourite musician/artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bowie is (was) the closest thing to a musical hero that I ever had. It has been immensely difficult dealing with his death today. As an alienated teen, his music gave me hope (even though I endured homophobic slurs and worse for listening to his music). As an aging person, his music has been both challenging and comforting. I wish that I could have just said Thank You for everything. Just once, face to face... and now that can never happen. It's saddening. I hope that his family finds some small comfort in how he touched millions of people's lives for the better. paynegretzky, chkadea and Dominic_ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My real first appreciation of him was when he toured for outside with nin. Reznor spoke so highly of him and low. Low introduced me to atmosphere and texture in music and the many bands it influenced. Seeing him on that tour and watching half the arena empty after nin and the "duet set" but my dad saying we are not leaving was surely a good call With that said, outside remains an underappreciated album in his catalog and one of my top 5 by the thin white duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The plus side is him and Lou are hanging out tonight. Besides his own music, producing tranformer, raw power, the idiot,lust for life, his film career, his modern work with arcade fire,tvotr,nin and his everevolving perception of art beyond sound should never be taken for granted. David was more than a musican, he was a visionary for many of people. He will always be an artist's artist like many of his underappreciated peers who did it on his terms until the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I heard the news yesterday and I'm not a David Bowie fan. Not that I don't enjoy his music; I just never listened to him. Just about an hour ago, my dad comes in my room and tells me that he died. I told him that yeah, I knew and that it was cancer. Then he said "Under Pressure..." in a bummed tone. I was a little confused about that until I looked it up and realized he and Queen had written that song together. I had not a clue. This made me more sad about his death, man. Rest in peace.

stranaspank Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My stepfather looks just like David Bowie, but he hates David Bowie. I think Bowie's cool. I think Lodger rules, and my stepdad's a fool. paynegretzky and cantdance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Bowie, Raw Power very likely would have never seen the light of day. Where would we be then? He also co-wrote a bunch of Iggy's solo stuff. Listen to Some Weird Sin, Bowie is all over that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 DAVID BOWIE AND THE OCCULT - It’s a tribute to the greatest magician of the 20th century on this week’s Last Podcast as we cover Bowie’s occult obsessions from 1971’s Hunky Dory to 1976’s Station To Station and how those pepper-milk cocaine fueled days tie in with Bowie’s very last album, Blackstar. http://cavecomedyradio.com/podcast-episode/david-bowie-and-the-occult/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
