Yeah...mine pretty much stopped all day, and watching vids didn't help.
He was a very private person and I never knew he was ill. One thing that impresses me about the man, is he never got into "Grunge"!!! |

By:
an immense talent, I can imagine his work still being shown a hundred years from now. R.I.P |

Didn't you listen to Tin Machine?
|
|
By:
rtb, I wasn't actually a fan, I was into other music. Blues, Soul, RnB, etc, There's no denying the effect he had on music and the "Pop" world in particular, the reinventions were superb and started a trend that made pop much more interesting, I read somewhere years ago that Anthony Newley had an influence on him??.
It's time had a listen, I've no doubt listening for lyrics alone will be worth it. |

Is there anything in particular to watch out for in Tin Machine??. |
|
By:
Sorry btf, my remark was aimed at Aunty Post.
Tin Machine was his late 80's reinvention and was an exploration of hard rock (Grunge - though you'd hardly call such a dapper individual a grunge style - icon!). I'll dig out the Albums, from which the single 'Under The God' is the best track IMO |

"Diamond Dogs"
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Todd Browning's freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal [CHORUS] (Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene (Will they come?) Oh baby, come unto me (Will they come?) Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized [CHORUS] In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the Ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitsch (There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow [CHORUS] Ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs [x2] Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow Call them the Diamond Dogs [ad lib] Keep cool - Diamond Dogs rule, OK Beware of the Diamond Dogs [repeat] |

World class bandwagon-jumper and trend spotter, like Madonna. Anthony Newley had more talent in one little finger than DB ever had, but as ever, the pasticheur triumphs at the expense of the original.
The voice? Anthony Newley...The cut and paste lyrics : Surrealists did that decades before...The Ashes to Ashes vid : check out Sergei Parajanov's The Colour of Pomegranates from 1969...at least Kraftwerk saw him coming when he took up residence in Germany...and those hospital bed shots in the last video : Got that from Gottfried : that is, Gottfried Helnwein. Also, "Lazarus", "heaven", etc.- give it a rest, mate - I can get the original for free. Having said that, he MUST have had some sort of remarkable talent, since that is only the second enthusiastic, positive comment I can remember reading from Thin and Crispy...fanboy!  So...he was a messenger boy, packaging and delivering the avant-garde to the masses. |

P.S. That work pays very well.

By:
P.P.S. So does working for the BBC - and they managed to deliver the first 15 minutes of tonight's news as a nascent pop video, out-doing anything ever attempted by Chris Morris. An astonishing achievement.

you don't say! he"s mentioned all these people in interviews over the years as being important to him

Funnily enough, that's the part of him I liked, Velasquez: that he was basically a pop fan, and sometimes we bought the same records.
I mean, I was thrilled when it turned out he'd also got hold of a copy of Neu!75, also liked the side of instrumentals and the track Hero on the record, and then buggered off to Germany and recorded an LP called "Heroes", complete with a side of instrumentals. I felt in on it somehow. The late Arthur Lee of Love actually had a letter from Bowie asking for advice on how to be a pop star. In the end he was a fan like us who got to live the dream. Not an artist or a visionary, but most people would have found at least a couple of his records they really liked. Well done, mate. |

OK, I'll back off now - I can clearly see how WRONG I am.
 Failing that, I'll post some random sh1t cobbled together from various books and papers stacked up in the bog, disguised as a poem or lyric...that's GOT to be worth a GO, you Diamond Doggie fanboys!!  |

In fact...why don't we ALL do that...as a tribute to Davey Jones?? Eah, the...the thought...the mere thought...!
Grab yer scissors and glue you basturts!  |
