Tin Machine so underrated: their first album is an absolute classic.
I think both albums rule.
I love the second album. First one had a ragged energy; second one was more nuanced. Both were great and truly underrated. And the band was critical to Bowie’s revival as an artist. But I wish Ton Machine had continued on longer.
easily my favorite pre-grunge post grunge group
David is so vividly alive here. The camera just loved him. As many of his fans -- including me -- still do ... Oh, how I miss him :( But this was sweet to see. He always made me smile. He really had quite a sense of humor and it is such a treat to see him goofing about here. God bless that genius of a man who was, and will go on to be, a life saver for so many of us.
I went down to the Rythm of love and ended up with a monster from hell. Thirty plus years I feared for my safety like many women, and my honour and self-esteem didn't disappear because I had a legion of helpers,relatives included, there helping me,praying for me and loving me( women and men). Love this song One shot. If there is violence in your home speak to your family. If there is an Addiction problem--- seek counselling and ask family to help. Many men and women won't speak to their families for help and support. Addicts use until they use up all the goodwill of family and friends. Partners or not using in any way is wrong. There is help available for spouses who are victims of violence and abuse. Remember that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. If you're sick and tired of being abused speak to your Dr and healthcare professional and ask for help. I'm alive cause of a miracle. I was saved because i beleive I was a good person, but needed to work on my life. And truth that everyone whose born was born innocent. What they become is another matter. If you've caused violence towards another person there is help for you too. You need to remember that you can't make a deal with God. Women and men who abuse their spousesmentally and/or physically only need look as far as their doctors office for referral to a healthcare facility that offers therapy and help to end the Hell,the shame, and fear of running ,and trying to control others and using everyone that's good in their lives. Darkness goes when the light at the end of the tunnel appears. Whatever life force that created us meant us to all live in ☮️. Power absolute corrupts absolutely. Letting go of past hurts,old hurts and getting professional help works. Reality is life is good when you live well,love well and treat others well. None of us are saints but we do know the difference between right and wrong. Admitting when we're wrong is the first step, making amends comes next. Forgiveness comes from those that forgive but it also comes with the promise to remember that ones been forgiven.
Look out on a green world.....with does and wives...........
Tin Machine was an important band for Bowie in that it took him out of the more mainstream arena pop/rock of the mid to late 80's, to something a bit more artsy/edgy/experimental. I think he carried that vibe till his passing.
Saw Tin Machine at the Palladium. Surreal. 300 people in the audience, you could walk right up to the stage. Imagine Tin Machine playing at a wedding -- that is what it was like. Loved this edgier change of direction after his "Let's Dance" era.
I remember
Yeah Tin Machine got Bowie’s edge back. He lost his identity in the 80’s.
Miss you David, my worlds so much darker without you in it.
Me too for sure
This made my day, man I love Tin Machine they were awesome!!! David could have made the Let’s Dance album over and over but decided to always push the envelope... It’s great to see him really enjoying himself with Tin Machine and always sounding great... he’s always an inspiration
This was such a welcome break from the way the industry had turned him into a pop artist at the time...Bowie seems much more relaxed it reminds me of the early days with the Spiders
Saw Tin Machine at the Palladium. Half empty, free ticket, GREAT show! Respected Bowie for ending his "Let's Dance" pop era with this return to edginess.
I was there. Bought my tickets right out of the gate. Wouldn't have missed it. Think half the crowd were at the upstairs (backstage) bar. Industry show.
Only time Bowie didn't sell out in LA. Figured most ppl were to lame to know TM was Bowie. Didn't know they had to paper the room w/ tix. That's pretty sad.
It was great and Amazing to see Bowie at a small hall.
🚶WE STILL L♡VE YOU DAVID 🧡🎼☆
David dear you were entertainer of the year from 1969 to 2016. And I sincerely mean that statement. There will never be another like him so full of talent and kindness ✨️ ❤️ 😊
RIP David Bowie❤
The first Tin Machine album was brilliant. The second more uneven, but "Goodbye Mr Ed" is one of Bowie's best songs ever.
All time fave of mine. Especially the Oy Vey Baby version
Some of their Best songs are on II even if I was better. Betty Wrong, cover of if there is something gets me every time.
And 'wot' if you like both ?
Use Your Wallet.........
Love the first album but "Goodbye Mr. Ed" is probably the best thing they ever did.
I loved the entire second album. “Betty Wrong” is a personal favourite-amazing chorus and great lyrics. But I think entire album is strong
I lovedTim Macine albums. Talented musicians.
Bowie always sounded amazing.
Was there ever any man as handsome as he was?!
Nope
Nuryev?
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
I love him he has such charisma
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
I love David Bowie. Tin Machine was just an added bonus. ❤❤❤❤❤ Beautiful man! RIP
Bowie dal vivo era spettacolare!!! Grande cantante e grande interprete...love forever
He was absolutely gorgeous. it's hard to believe that he's been gone 3years already
Really great track. Love the simple approach & has loads of atmosphere!!
OMG I absolutely love this!❤️I miss you so much David❤️✨
Thanks for the post bud.
What a legendary guy - he’s immortal imo never to be forgotten.
Man, I miss David. He is so intelligent, talented, creative, artistic, funny, his voice is beautiful, he's beautiful. I look forward to seeing the release of Moonage Daydream. It is the only Bowie movie I would see as he narrarates and it is him performing his music. I was blessed to see him 5 times and I would never want to watch someone trying to portray him...because ya just can't. His presence just can't be reproduced.
Absolute truth!
You belong in r n r was a hell of a tune. Loved it. The man had a impressive voice.
He was so beautiful!
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
Baby Universal is still one of my favourite songs.
I think I need to revisit tm. This is a lot better than I remember and the fame looks so engaged here. Like he’s loving it
What great quality. “FU! I heart tin machine!”
Tin machine was great, I don't know why it's accepted wisdom that it was bad.
Totally agree
*@Kommissar* ___The first track sounded amazing ,although that Gabrels bloke is all over the bloody place....It was too technically "dazzling".. without the soul of his 70's work...Bowie ditching Ronson after a mere 5 years , while thinking nothing of working for decades with the same boring bunch of studio technicians....
Me personally, ..I switched off after '87...
His guitar is pretty ridiculous looking, but it was a part of bowies sound for about 10 years.....
Agree. I actually love the first Tin Machine album, there's some great tracks on it. The problem I think most people had with them was that they were very up and down when it came to performing live. They could be great one night and a total disaster the next, as probably happens with a lot of bands, but people don't expect a bad performance from Bowie
Kommissar . I agree. They were so RocknRoll!
Most underrated band ever.
ForEver, really. Honest, for sure, forever...?
So good to see him laughing.
Gorgeous hunk.
oh this is gold
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
I loved tin machine
Gosh thanks, saw them live in Offenbach/Germany in 1990. Pretty little concert that was, very intimate. Great short trip that Tin Machine was. Great inspiration every day.
love you forever David Bowie💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
loving these TM songs in 2018
Still Bowie addicted in 2022
excelente.....te amo bowie vives en mi 💗
Tin Machine is due for the critical reappraisal. You can draw a line from Tin Machine to ‘Black Star’
It was Bowie & Gabrels & The Sales Bros. (pre) figuring Grunge’s total takeover in the 90s
And they just f*ckin’ rocked man!
Fantastic !! thxs !!!
do know tin machine well but I'm enjoying this!
We all knew it was good stuff!!!! Bowie is still years into his good looks & great hooks, the first song typically distinct in the Bowie canon...
Okay, as most of you probably have noticed, this was a mimed performance but the audio aside, there's more visual clues too.
David is playing the same strumming style throughout the song but it's different from what he played on the song itself.
Reeves is barely touching his guitar and his ever present and very extensive pedal board, which is an essential part of his sound, isn't anywhere to be seen . Note also that his amp is a BASS amp.
See the black "skins" on the drums? Those are dampening pads, you can whack them as hard as you like but there's no sound. Note also that there's an actual cup of coffee on the floor tom.
RastaSaiyaman how is it mimed twat
@@simonecooke90 it's mimed. At one point the drummer got out of his seat and whispered something to Bowie and the drums kept playing!? That's a bit of a clue eh?
His vocal is live, we hear someone at the start ask for the mics to be turned on and Bowie takes the piss, using his laughing gnome voice at times
@@NickHarman There's all sort's of add on stuff going on there. The music is play back 100% His main vocal is live.
@@jonrichie6110 The bass sounds right, but one can see the drummer has a cup of tea on his tom!
Encore une chouette découverte, super
Reeves was a major asset.
This was nice to see thanks
I only ever had one criticism about Bowie. It’s not the albums Tonight or Never Let Me Down or Tin Machine.
This is really pedantic but it’s that he pierced his ear! It’s always really bothered me.
Other than that, I think he was a genius.....sometimes. Most of the time.
I was so in love with him as a 14/15 year old. Growing up in a shitty industrial town in the eighties he was my escape. And partly responsible for my life from 22 - 48. So for that I’m eternally grateful.
Thank you Mr. Jones.
how can this not be peak bowie
at the times, tin machine music didn't really click with bowie fans, they really were in orbit because bowie universe landed on then. thanks for posting amazing footage
ThanX for some great memories!
I wouldn't say "hilarious," but that was certainly entertaining. It's too bad Tin Machine didn't continue longer.
there are plans to reunite them. it only takes 3 more deaths.
There's an interview where Bowie explains about all kinds of shit going wrong with the band's gigs. As usual, changes were part of who he was.He stayed with Gabriel's for about 10 years though
@@stvstupidtv2147 = booom tshhh!
Drugs (Sales Bros) and bad gigs will do that to ya
@@GayRocker81 I liked Tin Machine as a band (or idea of a band depending on which side of the fence people sit on!) but I gotta say, I never liked those two. They always felt like square pegs in a round hole to me. I think it says a lot that he sorted the proverbial wheat from the chaff, kept Reeves and moved on putting as much distance between him and the brothers as possible.
I seem to remember hearing they were more than a little problematic - over-estimating their importance would be putting it mildly.
i love the coffee cup sitting on the floor tom
Probably the quietest Hunt has ever played.
Unfortunately you can tell during one shot that they were not actually playing. Watch hunt closely. 1st time I remember seeing him use paiste too.
I saw Tin Machine live at Brixton academy on the 2nd album tour, it was my 1st ever live concert! Take out the drummer's 2 songs where he sings & the 2nd album is good!
Its funny when I used to play in bands that was some of my favourite times when you started joking about with your songs or even when your writing. It can actually be the most creative moments
So underrated. WHY?
LISTEN!
OPINION#DAVID WAS NEVER UNDERRATED
@@marlenesullivan3113 the OP meant Tin Machine
THANK YOU MDBTM LOVED IT SIMPLY JUST GOT NEW SUBWOOFER AND JAMMED ME ARSE OFF TO THIS AS 1ST VID AUDIBLE NOW I THAT I GOT SOME VOLUME LOL AS ALWAYS PEACE LOVE LIGHT~~~DA KID :)
Great Peter, and good to see you're still playing. My Brother also a Peter has the same horrible thing as you and is really happy you are speaking out about it. Unfortunately his is much more advanced and pretty much reliant upon a wheel chair and other aids. Long may you continue. Cheers Martin Perth Australia
Fantastic
Excellent... I hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from beyond the stars.
Love one shot me all time TM fave
what a fantastic voyage
put a smile on this face..... what a mostly otherwise awful planet
yes
Cantava muito amo
When he starts singing Goodbye Mr. Ed.........................that voice............
Fantastique
extraordinario.
So Cool
porque eu amo o David bowie ? Quem não ama?
saw David and tin machine in Manchester..
Fascinatingly, It's always nice for i&i to see indoor smoking.
:-)
And tea on drums, obvz.
Always fancied seeing a medley of this and Sorrow..
You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Just the twinkling lights of heaven
Two reflections on the sparkling water
Hand in hand in love with love uh-huh..
❤❤❤❤
This is a Bowie outfit I could get away with
Sheer brilliance! Fuckin love this
I saw them at Brixton Academy in 1991 (I think). I loved 'You Belong In Rock-N-Roll and the Roxy Music track 'If There Is Something'. I left the concert thinking it had been adequate, and great to see Bowie. Nothing special, unlike the 'Ziggy' tour in 73 and Serious Moonlight tour in 83, which I took in. Sadly never saw him live again after 1991. My loss.
Like the sound of Tin Machine and their music is incomparable to other rockbands that are out there doing their best. I think that they're really good at letting it Roll... Oneshot is like a wake up call for those out there that beleive in true love and have experienced trauma in a relationship and found it hard to part ways and let go of negativity, and adversity. Windows and wives says it all.xoxoxo
One Shot, which is my favorite song on the second album, seems like it is dubbed in this rehearsal footage. Why would they do that if this was only a rehearsal? Anyway, any footage with Bowie in this positive mood is good footage. He was inspired and happy being part of this band.
I seen them for £6 and got a drink, so fine the stage was on pallets.
I was at that show. When Simply Red arrived at the venue nobody took notice since there were only Bowie fans. He was annoyed by that. My then girlfriend caught a Reeves Gabrels plectrum which she lost 1 week later… TM also messed up signing a guitar for some auction for a good cause when they started to draw buttons on the acoustic model. It was a fun evening!
wow! that was sooo hilarious!
love the cup of coffee on the floor tom 3:26::))
Miss him now God only knows what he would have done.x
One of the last airings of the old gnashers
Maybe he should've kept them.....after all...they served him well..... loath those unnatural symmetrical perfect snouts....
i was just going to say this myself, didn't he get them done for the wedding, shame
Yeah shame he had them done. He looked better with the old gnashers
@@Longpigmss - His ravenous wolf look was the best, IMHO.
RIP, Mr. Bowie. You are missed by millions, but at least we still have your music.
LEGENDA ,VJEČNA
I honestly don't think the problem with Tin Machine was Tin Machine. The problem was the 90s- those two albums are a clear sign post to what was '90s rock'.
Either way, it's much better than the previous two albums!
Wonderful ... I hope my youtube interpretations of Bowie songs makes him smile .... so cool.
hay get this
Hey the dutch program must've nicked the title "Countdown" off australian tv series which aired 1974 - 1987.
I think they weren't aware of that Australian show, when this countdown first aired in the late seventies there was no such thing as internet. And most Dutch watchers of the show weren't aware of the Australian show either.
A lovely sight...Bowie playing with a cigarette in his mouth!
He was a helluva showman but I prefer this David Bowie. Tin Machine were underrated.
I COULD LISTEN TO DAVID 24/7.LEGEND
Tin Machine Promo was a great video takin down by WMG .. why ?
A lot of people d'ont understand tim machine...
I didn't know Keith Richards plays drums. ?
No it's Hunt Sales
Keef!
He lived the same lifestyle as Richards though, actually ended up in skid row for years
@@hendrik3050 👍💪❤️
How is this hilarious? He was gorgeous here! I hate cancer!
pre-recorded tracks?
it's Suberb........
not sure where the drums came from (playback? - the crash at 7.32 is simply not played), but I liked them, especially "Amlapura" is still good.
skyreader society there's a lot of synth in the mix too, plus bowies own backing vocals.
It was common practice those days to have bands mime their performance, as many legendary Top of the pops footage will also show.
The reason was to cut down, pre-production and have one artist after the other perform without line checks, sound checks and so.
yes, I know.
Dunno who could have engineered them , maybe Mick Harvey
Best boy band i've ever heard.
😂 brill
:-)
They are doin playback!!
