jannusguy2 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 One thing I will always remember about Bowie was that he had some of the most exciting guitar players in his bands. I saw him in concert with Mick Ronson, Earl Slick, Carlos Alomar, Peter Frampton and Reeves Gabrels (my favorite). Did not get to see him with Robert Fripp or Stevie Ray Vaughn. But still, he always had monster guitar players in his bands which likely was what drew me to his music in the first place. It's a very sad day, today. Very sad.

surfpup Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I stayed up Saturday to watch the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars documentary. Just couldn't turn it off. Blew me away this morning when I heard of his death. Unique in voice and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemarie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I hopped on FB real quick before bed to see if my friend had replied to something I posted and immediately saw a music site I am on on there had posted the Twitter message from his son (I saw it ten minutes after it posted). We blared "Under Pressure" (my favorite song that he did with Queen) to send him off well and said a prayer for his family. According to news reports, he kept his Cancer diagnosis under wraps - only family and close friends knew. I can only imagine the Jam Session going on up there now! Godspeed, sir, and thank you for your artistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Really loved a lot of his work, and was really into his "Station to Station" album, just prior to my moving to California. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I stayed up Saturday to watch the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars documentary. Just couldn't turn it off. Blew me away this morning when I heard of his death. Unique in voice and style. Yes, here too, Mrs and I trolling about the 327 cable channels with nothing on settled on Spiders for about half of it. It was good to watch, and we agreed we didn't have enough Bowie on our iPods. Weird next morning for sure. Modern Love is an actual modern masterpiece of writing and arrangement. Heroes needed his voice to start soft and "distant" and grow in intensity and proxomity. They tried it a bunch of ways. They ended up with the expensive mic at the end of a thirty feet or so hallway, and he just moved to it as the song grew. That took a serious pro to pull that off. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Last night I watched a Bowie film called "5 year". It's amazing to see how he arranged and recorded some of the songs. I recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The keys in my other band is really broken up about Bowie. He wants us to learn a Bowie song. I suggested 'As The World Falls Down'. He suggested 'Dollar Days' from the new album. He says of it "..he is literally saying goodbye to everyone."

stein Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 A true artist until the end. What has got me freaked out, is I realized a some point in his cancer he knew he would die, and at some point making the album and it's release he would die. Yet, they keep it a secret. To a large degree, this was planned. A last surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemarie Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 From what I've read, he knew from the time that he was diagnosed that his cancer was terminal. If he had liver cancer, as is being reported, statistics bear out that a majority of patients that are diagnosed with liver cancer are terminal - primarily because most patients are asymptomatic in earlier stages or have minimal symptoms that can be mistaken for other illnesses. The only people who knew about his diagnosis were his family, doctors and a few select friends. He did not want people to know he was ill. He may very well have had the album in the works prior to his diagnosis and could have changed the direction of the album once he was diagnosed as a way to say goodbye and thank you to his fans.
