    He was ok, but he was no Rick Parfitt.

    One year on and the shock of hearing the news comes flooding back. I think I'd like to spend the day listing to his music with joy this year rather than sadness.
    RIP David Bowie.

    I was listening to "The Man Who Sold the World" in the car this morning with a smile and a tear, rather than just the tears of last year.
    RIP David

    Those LOLs are a bit unfair - I'm pretty sure Greenie was being serious.

    Really looking forward to watching "Beside Bowie:The Mick Ronson Story"

    For anyone else interested in this, it's on at 9.00 on Sky Arts tomorrow night.

    Should be a good watch, I have seen some reviews of the program and all have been positive.

    I just watched the David Bowie documentary Finding Fame, about his early years.
    It's available on iplayer until early March, worth a watch for Bowie fans.

    It reached number 3 in the Charts in 1974. Bowie played sax and provided backing vocals on it.

    Seeing Holy Holy at London Palladium next week, band which includes Woody Woodmansey (Spiders drummer) and Tony Visconti along with Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17) on vocals. They are performing Man Who Sold the World and Ziggy Stardust albums in their entirety, saw them last year as well and they put on a fantastic show.
    Well worth seeing for any Bowie fans.
  • orpingtonREDorpingtonRED
    Thanks. Just listened to it

    Watched the documentary last night, excellently put together and a real insight into his determination to make it from those around him at the time.

    Really enjoyed "Finding Fame" and also just watched "Five Years" again which is, from a more musical perspective, is in my opinion as good.

    There's so much behind how Bowie made his songs different as highlighted by Rick Wakeman's explanation of how Bowie used unusual chord changes in "Life On Mars".

    It is the combination of change of persona to wide ranging music styles that made him so unique.
