RIP David Bowie

Same here. There are a few Bowie songs that I really, really like, but other than that I never listened to his music much. Loved the movie Labyrinth when I was a kid.

 

I oftened wondered if his ex- wife Angie, left Dave for catching him and Jagger dancin' in the sheets.

Never cared for his music.

 

Huge fan, very talented musician. A true loss

 

great artist he will be missed

 

Rest in peace, David.

 

He changed his style of music amongst different genres. Not all his music was liked but he wasn't scared to take chances. Never played it safe.

I like some of his work but respect him greatly. His influence was huge. RIP Ziggy Stardust

 

Never a huge fan but respected him as a person and artist - did like when he used Stevie Ray as his lead guitarist like on China Girl. He made a guest appearance when I saw David Gilmour tour about 8 years ago (one of last times with Rick Wright on keyboards before he passed) and Bowie sang first lead on Comfortably Numb and did his best Syd Barrett impression on Arnold Layne - only time Floyd or Gilmour ever played this classic in concerts that I attended (about a dozen). He was like Alice Cooper and Marlyn Manson, very normal and down to earth out of costume and makeup but their acts were all a wee bit strange for me.

 

He helped launch the career of my boyhood hero Stevie Ray Vaughan and for that reason alone I will be forever grateful to him. He saw Stevie play a set at Montreux Jazz Festival and was so impressed that he asked if he would play on his next record and tour with him as well. Stevie said no because he was committed to making it with Double Troube. Stevie played on China Girl and Let's Dance. Although Bowie then pretended in the video that he was the one playing all the Albert King licks on Let's Dance and that really ticked off Stevie. But still. Also The Man Who Sold the World, Changes, Fame, and Bring Me The Head of the Disco King are all cool songs. He also played Tesla in The Prestige and that movie was awesome.

 

I've heard that he did have relationships with both sexes. I don't know if that's actually true or not.

 

Their was much in print when the story broke..I never pursued the authenticity, but even today google leaves tracks on the alleged incident. Bowie did crave same sex as you indicated, so it was never hard for me to believe. He and Mick both had a twisted life style though each their own!!
