Bowie was part of the Avant-garde, the front-army of popular music. He walked both sides of the cutting edge.
My favorite Bowie album... Station to Station is great. S to S live video is great and has Adrian Belew... Bowie emotes his heart out on Stay... and Wild is the Wind ..
We will be doing the title track from station to station soon!
Anything with Adrian Belew you will most likely enjoy.@@L33Reacts
@@L33Reacts Gonna be a long video, not only is it a longer track, there is just soooo much going on in that fantastic track. There is no way on Earth you'll notice everything in a single listen. I'd film the initial reaction, then give it a couple more listens before a final break down. You're digging the stuff from his earlier days, honestly try jumping ahead to Black Star. Just give it a listen to compare his work from this part of his catalog to what he was doing at the end of his life. All those years, all those albums, and he still had it at the end.
@@kethf4301 Here is my reaction to it! ruclips.net/video/20NYE4GU9zs/видео.html
Earl Slick on lead guitar, a great, underrated player.
He was killing it here. Honestly, everybody was lol this was great.
Yes he is.
Dude... SOOOOO much Bowie to dive into, and you'll never have the same experience twice.
Knowing your tastes and your empathic listening skills, I'd suggest "Blackstar" or "Lazarus" from his final album -- the one he basically recorded from his deathbed.
Then go back 50 years and listen to his "Man Who Sold the World" album, which fits very well alongside the prog bands of the time.
Probably the coolest dude ever walked the earth.
I miss him 😢
@@janewells5970 me too
For real ! ⚡️
He wasn’t of this world.
This whole album is great. Bowie's voice is unbelievably sexy in this song and also Wild is the Wind.
Yeah, his voice is great here. Its so... dripping with risqué ooze lol
Ok, I wrote my first comment before I watched. lol I’m so glad you like Stay. I do have several other suggestions…FASHION, DIAMOND DOGS, JEAN GENIE. Bowie is a lovable chameleon. ☮️❤️
I've gotten a few requests for diamond dogs so maybe after these other tracks we will check that one out:)
This is my joint favourite Bowie album. This song is so great and funky. The sound of the snare is really nice too.
Very funky! Great song to get you too move! I dig it
My favorite Bowie album of all time. Too late to suggest playing it beginning to end, But at least save the last track for last ("Wild Is The Wind"). EVERY song on this album is a winner, with the title track the best of all. See you in the morning.
We are definitely doing station to station and wild is the wind next week! Can't wait! 😊
You did it!
As a drummer I would be interested in your reaction to Look Back In Anger.
😅
davis look back in anger 👏👍
station to station is the song that converted me from a casual Bowie listener to a devoted fan when it hit my teenage ears in the 90's. a friend made me a mixtape with s to s as the opener and I kept rewinding to listen to it again. it was a month before I managed to listen to the rest of the tape
We will be doing that one next week then! Can't wait to hear it 🙌
Saw Bowie live at London Earls Court 1978 (Isolar ll tour) and this is the track that got the crowd freaking out
Just killer! You’re right that rhythm section sets the tone and Slicks riffs are crazy! And Bowies vocals are so haunting!❤
I saw him 3 times in concert. He was really great. There are a lot of great songs. But as you like drums i would suggest for you: Look back in anger, Sound and Vision, and... Station to Station. 🙂
The song station to station is actually 2 songs in one. The second half could have been broken off and renamed Too Late. TVC15 has an infectious chorus about a TV eating the protagonist’s girlfriend.
Hello there! I really liked your reactions to these two Bowie songs! You managed to find some influences on his music, like salsa here, which others didn't notice, but of course, you are right. The two suggestions about the album "Station to Station" are great. I would add "Word on a Wing" live 1999-2000. I really don't know what you like in music, but I feel that you might be open to various things, so how about something form the album "Diamond Dogs" next? Maybe "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise)" album version (the slightly shorter video, without space between the songs) or maybe "We Are the Dead"? Bowie played many instruments on that album, including guitar and saxophone and his vocal range in "Sweet Thing" is insane.
So glad you enjoyed them! I will be doing the title track from this album next week. And I will add all of those to my list. Thank you for watching my friend I really appreciate it.
Such great suggestions!
R.I.P. Thin White Duke.
Here's the story of Adrian Belew as it applies to Bowie and how Zappa demoted Major Tom to Capt. Tom:
Frank Zappa was in a Nashville club (likely after a gig) and saw Adrian Belew playing.
Frank approached him after the show and got him phone number. A lot of time passed and out of nowhere Frank's assistant called Adrian and told him Frank wanted him to audition for him. Adrian did, got the gig and there's Belew's big break.
While on tour with Zappa in Germany in Feb. '78, Brian Eno was at the Cologne gig and saw Belew. He contacted Bowie, who was in Germany for a few years making his art and getting away from America in the interest of kicking drugs. Eno told Bowie to get to the next gig in Berlin to check out this guitarist.
Bowie went to the gig, got backstage, and while Frank took a lengthy solo, the band left the stage and Bowie approached Belew with a job offer. Belew pointed to Frank and said, "I have a gig with that guy right there." Bowie said he knew that tour was ending soon and wouldn't need him until after. They agreed to meet after the gig to have dinner and discuss it.
Frank didn't hang out with the band after gigs unless he invited anybody to be with him. He even stayed at different hotel from the band because if there was going to be any drug bust, he didn't want to be anywhere near it to be possibly wrapped up in that mess. Anyway, Frank goes to eat dinner at a restaurant and who does he see sitting together?
As Adrian related the story, "There are a lot of great restaurants in Berlin and Frank walks into the same one where I was sitting with Bowie."
Frank immediately surmised the situation and said, "Fk you, Capt. Tom!"
Bowie, ever the gentleman, said, "Surely we can discuss this like gentlemen, Frank."
Frank just repeated the same line. "I guess that didn't go so well." was Bowie's reply. Actually, thinking on it, I think he said, "Well *that* went well." Probably the latter.
Here's the thing: Belew agreed to join up with Bowie after the tour would end, at the end of Feb., and Frank obviously knew it. It must've been a little awkward for the two of them for the rest of the month. But I digress. At that Berlin gig, before Frank knew anything about the upcoming dinner meeting between Bowie and Belew, Frank sang "Ground Control to Capt. Tom" as a goof during one of his songs. Later, he found reason to say it in person to Bowie.
So anyway, the trajectory from being nobody playing in a Nashville bar to the world stage being with Zappa, Belew went from Bowie to King Crimson (among other bands) and a solo career.
There's the Belew>Zappa>Bowie lineage.
Hahahaha that is fucking great. Fuck you cpt Tom. OH frank... what a dude lol
@@L33Reacts
Here's the thing with Zappa band members:
Frank changed members with new ideas for his musical direction.
Belew would've probably gone on to be the guitarist in the Fall/Winter '78 tour schedule, possibly 1979.
Long story short, Belew wouldn't likely be with Zappa long term, but Frank didn't like that he was being poached away from him before *he* was finished with his services.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze I get it. It's a respect thing. Understand your level. Zappa is the top. Bowie had nuts though LOL
@@L33Reactsit’s an incredible story! Love to hear Adrian tell it live! This is beautifully written!
This is an insane track and captures perfectly the Europe of the mid seventies
"Cuz you can never really tell when somebody wants something you want too."
Good choice!
favourite Bowie album, favourite track. Never tire of it. Like others have said, worth listening to the final track on this album "Wild is The Wind" which may be Bowie's best vocal performance ever. Or is it Lady Grinning Soul...
I think after station to station we will do that track. I've heard great things about both songs already lol I couldn't just pick one 😆
Love it! The vocal melody wandering around against the funky vibe (unparalleled meeting in infinity) was dirty and juicy.
Every song on this album is worth a reaction.
Probably best Bowie song from the instrumentals side. This song gets better every time.
In 2016, there was a Bowie box set that included the Station to Station album, that was remixed by Harry Maslin. He really cleaned up the sound and gave it more punch and more clarity.
My favorite Bowie song. Earl Slick was the guitar on lead on this one.
Great song, great reaction. Thanks!
The one and only...❤️
Golden Years from the same album is also a great track! & if you're looking for one with badass drums I would suggest Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) 🔥
Both of those songs are excellent. I can’t choose one or the other. I just look forward to either one of those their fantastic!
Great song. One of my favourites. Earl Slick on lead.
I discovered this one in the very early 1980s when a local rock radio station (KMEL, or "Camel") would play seven full albums back-to-back every Sunday night starting at midnight, a program they called their "Camel Album Caravan". I'd be ready with a 10-cassette case of 90-minute tapes and record them all. The albums I didn't like I'd just record over again for the following album. I discovered SO many great albums that way. The ones I really liked I'd go out and buy the LP of it.
BTW, check out the movie THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH starring Bowie. Yes, he can act too!
If you don't like a Bowie song, wait a minute. 😆 check out Life On Mars.
Good one! Played every Fri afternoon after last college class. Yup, it's the weekend!😅
This is the Bowie song I would suggest. The rhythm section carries this song... every drummer/percussionist/bassist should love this. If it sounds like from a movie soundtrack, check out the Mavericks scene from Riding Giants.
Dude it totally does sound like a soundtrack song. I didn't even notice that. What a perfect backdrop a movie would be for this track ;) yeah the rhythm section was absolute delightful here.
The whole albums brilliant!!!!
Subbing to hear more Bowie! Please check out all eras of his career, too. His whole catalog is amazing. Great reactions.
You need to do the10.minute title track - fantastic
We will be doing that one next week. One of our patrons already requested it!
Bowie's greatest-ever engine room: Dennis Davis, George Murray and Carlos Alomar
You HAVE to do the title track.
Station To Station live is a must. The version on the live album Stage is excellent, as is the Glastonbury 2000 version.
Thanks. Subscribed cuz of your tribute to Mr. Bowie. 😊❤
LOVE Bowie's guitarists Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick....not just a musician and writer, entertainer - his growth as a producer was tremendous!
Damn, nice choice….this community/audience knows what’s up…ive *never* seen a reaction to this. My brother is a drummer & years ago he wasn’t much of a Bowie fan & one day, well over a decade ago, i was driving him/us somewhere & I had this album on, & this song came on & he was like “who’s that drummer??”
& as someone has said, yeah, it’s my fave Bowie album too. Fr.
Yeah this shit was hot. Lots of salsa and Spanish influence. I dig it. Bowie seems to be a true artisan
@@L33Reacts , totally…as I assume you’ll see, he’s all over the place…as eclectic as the Beatles, a shape shifter if there ever was one: ) …I dont even know what song to suggest to illustrate it, just throw a dart at a song list of his 1971 to 1983 output, it’s something.
@@vincentvancraig I can tell from how everyone talks about every other song that he Is a truly varied artist. I can't wait to dive into some more material from him next week
yeah, Bowie has mountains. from Space Oddity to Blackstar, the latter album being recorded in the final years of his life while obviously aware of his impending death. gives me chills thinking about it. it's a deep and very diverse catalog. btw, for a bit of overlap with Fripp, there's Heroes, and find the long version of Fashion for some out-there Fripp insanity. have fun!
Favorite Bowie record although he dismissed it as a drug period.
This era of Bowie and his band are my favorite. Check out this live version:

I first heard the album Station to Station when I was visiting my friend Skip in a place called Ashburn, VA and we decided to go on this long bicycle trip from Ashburn to Washington D.C. and back on the C & O bike trail which was I think about a 60-mile trek down and back, the bike trail having once been a railroad line, and when we got back to Ashburn, Skip wanted to keep biking up the other direction, but I was like, No, I'll wait for you here, but let me go through your music selection and I'll listen to some music and he said listen to this and it was his Station to Station CD and he took off on his bike and I took off on this music and the cool thing was that where we were parked was once a train station depot now a mom and pop grocery called Partlow's Store so there was definitely something going on since essentially cruising the onetime railroad line we weregoing from station to station. That album really knocked me out. Particularly Stay and the title track. In my top 5 favorite Bowie albums.
I grew up in pg County across the bridge. I'm very familiar with Ashburn and DC. I grew up all over there. I went everywhere. I wish I could go back somedays. Northern MD is the worst lol
I know that area really well since I went to University of Maryland. Being a Vermonter it was a unique experience. Driving from Vermont to Maryland or back again I had to drive through Baltimore up 95 and at the time I was like, This is the ugliest city. At the time it looked like a city of gray belching smokestacks. Don't know if it's still like that.@@L33Reacts
Great reaction to a great song! You gotta try Bowie’s Moonage Daydream for the blistering guitar work!
Never heard this b4 good job; love it
For funky....Try cuts from Bowie's Young Americans album with Luther Vandross back-up singers and David Sanborn on saxophone, like Somebody Up There Likes Me, Win, Fascination, and Right. Also Carlos Alomar funk on Secret Life of Arabia (Heroes album). Also sample his Let’s Dance album produced by Chic’s Nile Rogers (and it’s all good!).
this album is my favorite Bowie album- if you want to check out some deep, really strange Bowie check out the album Outside
As a drummer you should check out Dirty Loops "Work shit out" - great drum solo... And they are just an amazing band who surprises you with every single song. And Dirty Loops fans are always looking for reactions to their songs ;-)
What a track - and Wild Is The Wind is already getting called out for you, but I haven't seen a call for TVC15, and who doesn't need a tune about The Thin White Duke and his adventures with his holographic TV...?
Yes! TVC15! How in the F could I forgot that one!?!?
Damn this dude has a ton of hits huh?? I'm with it!
@@nancymjohnsonI was hoping to hear TVC15 on January 9! Transition!
@@L33Reacts I can’t wait for you to go down the BOWIE rabbit hole. You know my experience with David Bowie! And I would be interested in request for his early career.
Your second Bowie song after DJ? Then you’re off down the most incredible rabbit hole! You need to go back, back, maybe to something from Ziggy Stardust such as Starman. Why not watch Starman live on Top Of The Pops from 1972? One of the most famous and influential TV performances. Or, Queen Bitch played live on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Actually, do both!
A great album, even if DB was plastered on coke while making it. IMO it points the way toward the Berlin trilogy, even though DB has basically disavowed the entire experience of living and working in LA during this period. But I think it's arguable that this was DB's best backing band. Fun fact: the live lineup for this tour included ex-Yesman Tony Kaye. The title track is a winner, while "Wild as the Wind" is DB in romantic crooner mode. I'll also put a plug in for "TVC15". It sort of bridges the gap between this and "DJ".
I was hoping to hear TVC15 on the 9th his transition
Sooo many great tunes to choose from but Hallo Spaceboy w/Foo Fighters from Bowie’s 50th Bday concert would impress any drum fan
Boowie vs Bowie reminds me of the time in 1974, when I mispronounced his name in my circle of friends who were more hip than my bubblegum mentored self. Of course, I knew better but my previous historically liberally educated familiarity with the word "bowie knife", had indelibly stamped my tongue in a certain mold whence it came out once..."David Boowie", to faces gone askance.
Our only advantage is we're old and have heard a lot of music over the years. Lmao
Hahah right... this is my first go around and I'm just In heaven with all this wonderful music :)
!!!!!
Dennis 'the groovemaster' davis on drums. Dudes a fuckin dog on a bunch of Bowie albums around onwwrd from this time
MFR can have the singin'.. We're the Spiders from mArS
Check "The Width of a Circle" by Bowie LIVE VERSION. ruclips.net/video/ASitcSAk330/видео.html&ab_channel=ZiggyStardust
the whole album is a bracing stew of rock and funk, Bowie was coked up when he did it.
Not a great album, but a positive step in the right direction of the horrors of Young Americans!
Lead guitarist Earl Slick reportedly blew several amps on the feedback intro to the title track of the album. I assume that's him winding out a bit here rather than Adrian Belew as someone else has asserted. Or I could be way TF off. 😅😊🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🕊
