-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
Finally getting back to David Bowie!!! This was a great rocker, what’s next for us to check out from him?! Cheers all! 🙌🏻🔥
Eyo you guys should check out The Eagles. Especially New Kid in Town
You guys need to check out his Ziggy Stardust era!! Rebel Rebel, Jean Genie, and Ziggy Stardust are bangers 🔥🔥🔥
Ziggy needs to be a full-album listen.
Heroes, live from Berlin. Great performance of a great song.
Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City, Rebel Rebel, Changes...
Back in 1972 , when David Bowie told you that he was an alligator, you didn't question it, it just felt right.
Too true lol
see you later, alligator! in a while, crocodile!!!
One of the Greatest albums ever “The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars”...
Yep, I used to have nearly all of his albums back in the day, and this one was my favorite!
Full album must!
GeneO 👍
Maggie Audiss 👍
Yep, do the full album, you won't regret it!
Easily one of the best albums of all time.
This song may be my favourite song of the album
@@nodirips_8537 Mine too, even tho pretty much every song on the album could be a favorite, it was that brilliant.
Mick Ronson. One of the best 70s guitarists.
I actually wrote to the bigwig of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and requested that they give Mick that honor. Ffs... It's been too long.
Mick was the salt in Bowie`s soup.
Absolutely
He was also the produce of the album? If so what a fucking genius.
@@laurih.t.8723 Randy Rhoads is in...and after all, Randy practically stole everything he did from Ronson....
That whole album is sauce....listen to it beginning to end...this is a true masterpiece.
At full volume
One of the best albums of all time…
One of the best albums ever!
Five years, Moonage DayDream, Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Lady Stardust and Rock N Roll Suicide are the best songs off this album, definitely should be a full album listen!
Yeah. Moonage Daydream is great but it's sort of a transitional song on that record.
Definitely full album experience!
Best Bowie album - Mick Ronson superb
I strongly agree. The track choice seems very odd to me.
YUP!
Suffragette City is the banger you’re looking for boys. Literally
jukebox1899 Aaawwwww, wham, bam, thank you, ma’am
Sure is a banger!
They're all bangers. SCity made radio rotation so most recognizable
THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER MADE! Everything about this album is incredible! I got this in 1972 as a young kid, kind of by accident, and that was it, a life changer! I listened to it night and day and started my life changing Bowie obsession that has never ended, and will never end. This album can’t be recommended enough.....forever....
I'm right there with u .Bowie forever.
Same hear!
Absolutely. Got to see him live twice. It was out of this world. RIP DAVID YOU ARE SORELY MISSED.😢🕊🙏✌🌻🌻😢
Well this was NOT an obvious choice for Bowie, which is to your credit. Great track. :D
I think for hardcore Bowie fans it makes a ton of sense. It did introduce Ziggy Stardust, after all.
For casual fans, the songs they've already reacted to are a fairly sensible start. This seems like a good progression to me.
If they have a chance, they should totally watch the Ziggy & the Spiders from Mars concert film. The performance of this particular song is my favorite, because the audience is completely mesmerized
@@Johonnac yes, that girl in the audience who sings "put your space face close to mine love"... She's so into it. Amazing
@@Johonnac totally - I wish they would watch more concert videos of all the artists! I can't imagine not knowing what these bands look like as performers, I mean imagine never seeing Eddie Van Halen do a split jump? 🤩
The great Mick Ronson on guitar.
totally underrated. great producer too and arranger
@@robertmetz5564 I don't think he was underrated by anyone who knew who he was. I think not as well known as he should be would be a better way to describe him.
Robert Metz i
Didn't he do the guitar on Heroes, too? Or am I thinking of someone else?
@@jongroubert4203 I think that was robert fripp from king crimson.
...and “I’m an alligator” means his character is a cold-blooded, remorseless predator.
"I'm a momma/poppa commin' for you"...
and a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference... Hunter S Thompson hung out with Alligators regularly. ..
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile.
Life on Mars? is a must when talking Bowie!
Paris Live 1999 is everything....
That's one of my favs forsake. Even just the video. I love that video and then you realize all it is is David Bowie singing and then you realize, that's entertaining enough!
@@fifimsp His voice was so powerful!! I cry every time I listen to it. I've always thought of myself as the girl with the mousy hair. Those lyrics could be put in my tombstone. It's just my favorite song of all time!!
Bowie was so incredibly gifted, no sound on his productions was ever wasted or unnecessary. One of the most inventive minds in rock.
And Mick Ronson was a master producer, as well as an amazing guitarist
"Do we need to do this as a full album?" Uh, yes! Thematically, it's pretty whacky 70's stuff ("I'm an alligator!") But musically, all the songs flow together stylistically. The album is greater than the sum of its parts.
Bowie later publicly admitted that he was never bisexual - or gay - he just said so for the image of the character 'Ziggy Stardust'.
He would say anything! There's a very, very long list of men who would tell you that he didn't have sex with them just for the image of that character! He tried to keep his many affairs with women secret in the early years, because of his marriage to the mentally disturbed Angie. He liked to lie to the press, and what he said in the cocaine years was different from what he said in the straighter years. He liked being a mystery. He seems to have been a much better husband and father the second time around, yet still far from ordinary. In the end, most of those people seemed to still care for him, no matter what he said! RIP David.
So he was straight?
Ziggy stardust, suffragette city, and probably one his masterpieces: life on mars
The 3 best! Life On Mars--the best use of a song with a tv show that I've ever experienced.
"These are feelings dude" exactly. This is art
Symphonic
Bowie is great because he was absolutely fearless in reinventing himself and his music over and over again, something few rock stars have had the pits to do. You guys you do some of his R&B like Young Americans. He was one of the few white artists to appear on SoulTrain.
Ziggy Stardust" 100%
I love Bowie's plastic soul period. Young Americans, Station to Station are great albums and I love the live albums that came out from around that time too. David Live, Cracked Actor and Im Only Dancing are stellar stuff :) Golden Years is my favourite song from that period though.
@@OberonOZ Gotta love that David Sanborn sax!
@@peterquinones3522 Absolutely!! :)
“Young Americans” is epic. Luther Vandross singing background vocals!
Mick Ronson was a major part of Bowie's sound in his early albums. A talented guitarist and arranger, his contribution/influence cannot be underestimated. Life on Mars being an example. Together with Trevor Bolder on bass and Woody Woodmansey on drums, Bowie had a tight little band with the Spiders from Mars.
As for the lyrics, I believe they were created using the William Burroughs technique of cutting out phrases and mixing them up. There was a BBC Omnibus documentary Cracked Actor which features this.
It would be interesting to see your reaction to the live version on the David Live album. Many songs have different arrangements on this album. Earl Slick plays guitar. It was on his Diamond Dogs tour when he was shifting towards the more soulful style of his "Young Americans" album which includes "Fame".
One of the greatest albums of all time. The lyrics make perfect sense. "I'm an alligator!" Is the perfect opening line for the character. it's metaphorical. Ziggy is all about "In your face" pizazz and over-the-top confidence---He's coming for you!
Please do the entire album guys, I'll be waiting.
See you on Mars---Cheers!
A&A, You'll love Bowie's "Suffragette City" "Changes" and "Fashion"
they did "Fame" already
The guitar on Fashion is freakin' unforgettable. Production run wild. There's a lot of stuff on Lodger that I love, that I'm not seeing mentioned.
Added incentive for Fashion, guitarist is King Crimson's Robert Fripp.
Also Fripp on the entire Heroes album
Thing about Bowie is no two albums are the same. He’a always reinventing himself and his sound. If you check out Station To Station and Young Americans which are only 3-4 years after Ziggy Stardust you’ll be floored by the different styles.
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars... thats the concept. A bisexual, alien rockstar called Ziggy Stardust, his band are the Spiders from Mars. The whole story plays out over the course of the album. It was groundbreaking then in 1972 and still rocks the world even now.
It was the album that made Bowie a huge cult figure and eventually was the foundation for him becoming a rock legend. He reinvented himself many times - he was also Aladdin Sane (think about it hehe) , Major Tom (Space Oddity, Ashes To Ashes and Hallo Spaceboy) and the Thin White Duke amongst others. SO much great music for you to enjoy. You could certainly do worse than do a full album reaction to Ziggy Stardust! Its brilliant and mesmerising and a little bit life-altering! :)
PS... great story at the end!! LOL
One of the top 10 albums of all time.
That's exactly why I loved this album because after a while he WAS Ziggy Stardust. Still toking it it's legal where I live. His music is like none other. Ronson rocks.
48 years old and still better than most of the current chart garbage
“Most”??? All!
I second that 🤟🤪
That's was Bowie's unique gift .
Most???
bowie is a different league
Bowie. He IS an Alien. Love his song "I'm Afraid of Americans" for a banger.....
Add Halo Spaceboy!
Trent Reznor of NIN helped him do Afraid of Americans
Does it get any better!?! Bowie is one of the most innovative artists and as said, was wise enough to know to reinvent himself over and over. I don't rate him. To answer your question - This would be the a great full album! Yes!! If for any other reason, in honor of Alex's story of the Big Blow. Lmao! I think Bowie would have Loved the story!! Omg.. You guys!! Have a beautiful day!! :) Suggest: Suffragette City. Any Bowie is good Bowie.
Every song on this album is great. I agree completely - full album. This album, then do Ashes to Ashes and Blackstar to see the whole arc.
I second that, fantastic album and definitely worth for a full listen. It's the effing best glam rock album that was ever recorded and probably Bowie's best work. And by the way: Bowie is awesome, noone was more creative and versatile, he is and always will be my music god, no matter how many different artists I might know and love.
It’s an album that you should listen to in one hit ...just superb and still sounds fantastic today
yes gurrrrrrrrl!!! 1972!!
@@patriciagoodwin1922 I know, right? Just as fresh today as it was then!! Love him so much. Have a great day, my friend!! :))
It's a perfect full album, should listen to the whole thing. That story was awesome. Keep rockin, freaks! 🤘👹⚔️
Yes, the whole album and his Ziggy Stardust character was a concept that deserves a complete reaction. Bowie was at the forefront of the Glam Rock style, though his band took a little convincing with the clothes and makeup. They were a bunch of guys from Hull, working class, down to earth, tough Yorkshiremen, but after they saw the attention Bowie was getting from the girls it was..."Pass me that eyeliner!" Don't worry too much about all the lyrics making sense, he was being deliberately enigmatic most of the time. Bowie would use a technique of just writing down snippets and one liners, cutting them up , throwing them in the air, and then seeing what interesting combinations would come up. Some songs though did have a narrative, 'Five years' is a great apocalyptic song from the same album.
Young gents...you need to listen to the entire album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Yes, it's a concept album. 🐊 Also should watch Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture to get the full Ziggy experience. It's his last concert with his band, The Spiders From Mars. 👨🎤
P.S. David would have loved the story at the end 🤣😂🤣
I was thinking how much Bowie would have loved that story. Man I was crying with laughter! 😂
Bowie would have loved the story even more if the person going down on Alex had been another boy. I think Bowie & his music from the 70's inspired a lot of young gay and bisexual guys to come out.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce I expect so. I was just a kid but I remember adults talking about it when he came out as gay (and later as bi). I also remember how suddenly there was a hell of a lot of boys wearing make up, which I thought was very bloody peculiar.
This needs to be your next full album reaction
One of the best concept albums ever and MickRonson just slays the guitar! Great pick guys y’all are warming my soul with happiness 🌟🌟😀
Been awhile since I heard this song!!!! Love every minute of it thanks for bringing it back to me!!
You guys have to listen to this entire album. Every song is amazing. Listen to Five Years. Damn their all incredible. Why? Cause it’s fricken Bowie that’s why.
With so much Bowie out there this was an odd choice, but I'm not going to complain. More Bowie please 👍🏼 Try 'Golden years', 'Heroes' or 'Fame' to be mainstream, or 'Lady Grinning soul', 'Rock' n' roll with me', or 'Wild is the wind' for something a bit different.
Absolutely agree
Andy did Fame without alex and They both did Heroes but i TOTALLY AGREE with the others, and they could do the full version of Lets Dance
MANHATTENMAN ! I've been suggesting Let's Dance for forever! Full version of course
From that album I would have picked Starman.
MANHATTENMAN ! Thanks, I’ll check those out 👍🏼
"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" should be a contender for a full album review. A classic album and one of the great concept albums of the 70's. However, nothing will be right in the universe until you check out his masterpiece, a little tune called "Life on Mars?" from 1971's "Hunky Dory." I say "your welcome" gents, in advance :)
“Rebel Rebel and Sufferage City next!!
Yup, “Ziggy Stardust” is a concept album, the story of one of his many alter egos.
David Bowie - Man Who Sold The World - Instantly recognizable if you were around in the 90s.
The way Kurt cusses himself when getting the unplugged intro wrong , tv gold if you watched it.
She Shook Me Cold
A masterpiece of a song that somehow had fallen by the wayside until Nirvana resurrected it during their MTV Unplugged performance. Subsequently, Bowie saw fit to restore it to his live concert setlist.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce Exactly this 👍.
I think album needs to be listened to as an album. Singles are great but the whole piece is a work of art.
Definitely do the whole album, you guys will love it, I promise. Loved the bit at the end lol!
I've always loved David's Ziggy Stardust period.
Ziggy Stardust should be next, then Changes, then Rebel Rebel or something
Suffragette City for a rocker.
No offense, but can we get any more generic? He got better stuff.
@@j.j.4150 obviously but they're just getting into him so they should be introduced to certain hits before moving into his complex repertoire. Plus they were just introduced to the concept of Ziggy so they should listen to that song next imo.
@@danholmesfilm Yeah, by that logic they will have finished getting through the Radio Hits in 10+ years. Would be different, if we would get more than 1-2 Bowie reactions a year looool.
Bowie’s Suffragette City would go nicely with that Alex story at the end!
Here is an artist that isn't on your radar, but was a big player in the early 70's glam rock movement, like Bowie, T. Rex. He has some stellar stuff.
I don't think they're ready for T-Rex yet either. Marc Bolan was a genius though. Another great glam band from the 70's is The New York Dolls, but again, I don't think they're quite ready for them yet either
T. Rex has some great stuff, both stellar and interplanetary. The problem I've found with introducing new people to my old-school T. Rextasy is that you have to either embrace that one song everyone knows, or avoid it altogether. Which to do?
@@thatoneguyagain2252 It is true, that song would not be a good intro to T-Rex, that song is only a banger if you've heard how brilliant other songs are, then you can appreciate the fun of banging a gong.
Marc Bolan could not advance from Glam Rock. Bowie was more creative and used Glam Rock as a springboard to a long career. If Bolan had lived, he would have been another Syd Barrett.
@@dynodon9182 Sadly, I have to agree with you. But in the short amount of time that Bolan's star shined, he was brilliant.
THIS would be a great full record for you guys to react to! Literally a masterpiece concept record. ✌️
If ever you were gonna do an entire album reaction, this album is the one to do!!!!!
"Young Americans" for sure. It's the song that made me pay attention to Bowie. After you react to the studio version, watch the live on Dick Cavett video (with a big band that included David Sanborn on sax and Luther Vandross on backup vocals) and imagine a 14-year-old staying up way past bedtime and trying to wrap his head around that performance. Or watch Bowie duet the same song with Cher as part of her TV show.
Suffragette City, The Jean Genie, Station To Station, and Let's Dance
It's ALWAYS fun to watch 'til the end. This one was probably had the happiest ending of them all.
Best comment.
Not for her though.
The Young Americans
Yes. I'm not a big Bowie fan, but that song is so good.
An iconic landmark album from one of rock music’s most iconic British artists who overnight invented a whole new genre along with Roxy Music, T-Rex, Iggy Pop etc.
'Five Years' is more intersting lyrically and isn't just gobbledygook. 'Life On Mars' and 'Starman' are also excellent.
And of course “Five Years”. Predicts the birth of Kanye West - 5 years to the day after the release of this.
And then - damn take a look at the cover of Ziggy Stardust - K West!
🤪
What's wrong with gobbledigook?
@@edwardmeradith2419
Wow! - - interesting synchronicity.
Entire David Live album is amazing...songs like Cracked Actor, Aladdin Sane, Jean Jeanie, Suffragette City good listen to start to finish
Alex, that is alcohol abuse, NEVER spill whiskey! Very interesting effects in this song, great instrumentals and his voice is so iconic. Not my favorite Bowie song but any day with a Bowie song is a good day. Yeah that would be a great album to do a full album. You are such a pig, Alex!!! Laughing so hard there are tears.
If you do spill whiskey that's alcohol abuse and you should call a friend to apologize
The whole album is a masterpiece, but if you want to check out a great song on the album but not played so much, try "Lady Stardust".
YESSSSS!!! ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER!! Bowie is my favorite artist. Musically and as a person In general
Fair play to you bro 👏
Fun fact he used to cut words out of magazines or write them down and put them together randomly to form a line when he was stumped lol i love it and i adore David Bowie. Thanks guys. YES DO THE WHOLE ALBUM wow dude crazy story at the end lol
The whole Ziggy Stardust album is exceptional
"The Width of a Circle"
"All the Madmen"
"Black Country Rock"
"Watch That Man"
"Station to Station"
David Bowie is great! This LP was the first one of his that I bought in the 1970s. Please listen to the entire record, starting with 5 years, it is such a classic! Thank you for posting this video, it really brightened my day!
Five years, that's all we've got... After hearing the whole album, all will remain unclear but you'll feel a whole lot better. TMI on the story...
I listened to Five Years and Savior Machine and it was weird but I got chills. It feels as if he's talking about our world right now. He truly was forward thinking on so many different levels.
Whole album listen necessary to even begin to understand this masterpiece!
Really good song but i would have skipped the story at the end, not that I'm offended, but because others will be offended or just turned off. If you guys are aiming to keep growing the channel, i would try to avoid unnecessary distractions that could turn off some fans :-) I still love the channel :-)
@Paul Siebeneicher
I can see that, hope we didn’t offend too many people.
@@andyandalex hey I'm just a sub not a patron, and you guys have given me a lot of content to enjoy plus you haven't given me a hard time for plugging other channels here (although i do plug bidirectionally). So don't take what I say as any more than opinion of one guy, and a style choice. Back when I was doing public performance I made it a rule never to curse on the mic even though I curse profusely off stage ... My idea was to keep the focus on the music and to hit as wide an audience as possible :-)
@Paul Siebeneicher
Appreciate the viewership friend, and yeah I don’t think we think ‘enough’ about how to maximize how wide of an audience we are hitting and more so just try to do what we feel is entertaining, though in terms of longevity it makes sense to stay pretty PG I suppose, lol.
@@andyandalex Just the women and fathers of daughters! Actually, I would use this video as instructional for daughters to see what men will do or say to get some and then throw them away after. Good job!
P.S. Bowie was a HUGE influence on punk.
Which they probably won’t be playing any time soon, if ever.
He was possibly the very first punk. Discuss.
@@seanie002 Hard to say. I think Iggy may have that distinction.
Susan Klasinski very good shout. I saw Iggy on his 1980 tour, he was more mainstream by then. Supported by the psychedelic furs, incidentally.
@@seanie002 Nice! I don’t have an issue with the Furs. They were among my favorite bands in high school. ☺️ But yeah, as soon as Iggy threw out Real Wild Child, I was out.
"I'M AN ALIGATOR!" should be your new safe word!
Blane Mather nothing can replace Orange Slice ! Never change your safe word. It’s not safe. 🤔
Can't be MY safe word......."I'm an Alligator" is the phrase that got me in trouble in the first place!
BOWIE was sooo cool..... Covered under pressure with Annie lennox at the Freddie mercury tribute concert.... Excellent
Bowie didn’t cover “Under Pressure,” he co-wrote it with Freddie Mercury. That’s Bowie with Queen on the original album cut. Many people only know “Under Pressure” from Live-Aid when Queen performed it without Bowie.
@@thecrye6798 And such a missed opportunity, since Bowie followed Queen on the London stage at Live Aid.
@@thecrye6798 under pressure wasn't played at Live Aid
@@new_mercury5367 Oops, you are correct, it is footage from Live at Wembly '86 - without Bowie - that is all over CZcams. When that footage was combined with footage of Bowie performing the song from a separate concert (without Queen) to supply footage for the studio track, a lot of people assumed that the song they were hearing was likewise a remix. It wasn't, which was my point. Bowie co-wrote the song and is on the original track.
@@johncrye8821 he was also originally on cool cat but asked for his parts to be taken off.
Great lyrics. "I'm the space invader" .. remember, this was written six years before the video game "Space Invaders" was invented. Check out "Five Years" (the opening track to this album), where he alludes to man slowly killing the earth ... this was decades before climate change was even a thing.
Don't overthink it - most lyrics written in the day were when the lyricists were in a chemically altered state.
Absolutely mark well said bro👏
On the Highest Holy Jewish Holiday of
the Year (Yom Kippur), I was praying for the Funk. ."Sly and the Family Stone"
song "Thank You(Falletme be mice elf agin)" circa 70!!! Love Bowie, and he would most definitely agree regarding Sly!! He was a big fan of the Funk which inspired "Fame" !!
Embrace all faiths & races.
Once again -desperate prayers gone unanswered. Why have you forsaken us lord?!
Have an easy fast and a sweet & rockin' New Year! Hopefully better than this last one. : )
I love this eara Bowie he was so creative, his coloboaration with Mick Ronson (its Mick on guitar) was so good, they even produced and played on Lou Reeds Transformer album as well.
You want a song that cooks? Listen to, Stay. Best version is live from Bowie Live at the Beebs (BBC) in 2000. OMG. Talk about SAUCE. Best band; Earle Slick, Mark Plati, Gail Ann Dorsey on bass. ✌🏻🧡
They sure are ,saw them all during Bowies last world tour ..they where just all sool good .Gay Anne Dorsey had to be the most coolest ,stunning,talented lady .unforgettable show.
This was one of those tunes that Andy may want to add to his “religious experience” song list....somewhere after Magic Carpet Ride. We used to 😎
All for that Joe...go andy😄👍✌
Definitely would love to see a full album reaction to ‘the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars’
In terms of next song Life on mars, Rick Wakeman from Yes on piano
Ziggy Stardust wasn't just a concept album, it was a stage of Bowie's life. You should definitely do the whole album The lead guitar was Mick Ronson, one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history. Check out Welcome to the Club, by Ian Hunter. Ronson plays some of the best hard rock you'll ever hear on that one. You'll never want to hear Great White play Once Bitten Twice Shy again.
This album was Bowie’s most solid and consistent set. I think the As would really like it. Also, check out Ronson’s work on Madman Across the Water as a bonus track on Elton John’s Tumbleweed Connection album. It’s mind-blowing.
Didn’t a member of Great White get burned alive in that club in Rhode Island in 1997? Or was New Jersey? Anyway, sad story. Over 100 people perished from fire & smoke inhalation. I’m thinking it was the drummer who died...
@@thomasvarady1210 I'd forgotten about that fire. It was guitarist Ty Longley. After watching them get famous over their second rate rendition of a great Hunter/Ronson classic, I never listened to them. That certainly was a horrible event though.
I said the underrated Mick Ronson above and got scolded, glad someone agrees
@@anabellelei8540 One of the greats. Anybody who says otherwise just hasn't heard him play.
Moonage Daydream is an Absolutely Amazing Song
With Bowie’s Vocals and Mick Ronson’s Guitar Piano & Strings
Ronson’s Solo at the End blended with Mick’s Strings & Piano just make the Song Other Worldly. Next tap into Ziggy Stardust , another Perfect Song with Bowie & Ronson
The end was tough to swallow...
in what way
I'm never going to be able to hear this song the same way again.
Rim shot, please
Not for the girl if she knew what she was doing and she really liked Alex.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce She definitely really liked him. She was hoping for more. She learned the hard way..
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM! THE BEST!!!!!!🎉Now I have to listen to the whole thing today! Lol Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars... I can't count the number of times I've listened to this album💕 "A-"?! That was a stab in my heart 😱🤪😉 I could've done without "the story" 🤷♀️
He sang THE most beautiful christmas song ever recorded, his duet with bing Crosby. You must include it in your Christmas reactions this year, as well as John Lennon's War is Over, and the waitresses Christmas Wrapping. This song was pretty much every Jane's Addiction song, btw. Not hating I love that band.
More David Bowie!
Queen Bitch, Suffragette City, Young Americans, Changes, Starman, Fashion, Life on Mars, Rebel Rebel, Rock n' Roll Suicide (in which he famously 'died' while performing live), Sound and Vision, John I'm Only Dancing, only to name a few.
Literally dozens of songs in the A - S tier, this man was a genre-defining/defying deity.
Alex's story though lmao , so glad I stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago.
Station to Station is probably his best album: TVC15, Stay, Golden Years, Wild is the Wind, Word on a Wing
Hunky Dory. Hands down.
Agreed, the Station to Station album is a flawless masterpiece from start to finish.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce true dat
@@seanie002 good but it's not Station to Station
Right on
Funny how the person who is going to say I'm an alligator to people because they won't get the reference is the same person who thought Keith Moon was still alive.
After doing an entire video about Keith Moon's wild life!
The best part was Andy looking at him in disbelief and saying, "I'm pretty sure he ... died, dude."
I told you fellas to hit this song instead of the others in the poll😉. Anyway, glad you came around to react, better late then never. Loved the reaction, keep it up 👍🏻..... Uh guys... the ending... can you say that on YT😂😂😱
Andy and Alex, I envy you two for the the unique combination you have-your musical empathy, understanding of the technical craftsmanship in rock songs, and ... your total innocence of this huge trove of great, classic rock music! What a fabulous, lucky situation to be in, in the year 2020. Makes me feel young again, to just see you guys react. Fantastic, fantastic channel! The best reaction videos, by light years!
"I'm an alligator!" Yes, but Jim Morrison is still the Lizard King.
Bowie > Morrison. And it’s not even close
@@LeGrandeOrange debatable
Wore the grooves out of this album back in high school. Yeah, do the whole album! Then work backwards a bit before later works. Hunky Dory and The Man Who Sold the World. Some great songs on Pin Ups too. I particularly like Bewley Brothers and Andy Warhol.
Alex, your sweet, tender story at the end brought a tear to my eye.
So psyched you did this song ! AND YES, doing the whole Ziggy album would be fucking awesome ! His glam era is probably the best to get into Bowie. So here’s more killer songs from that period that wound be epic, Width of a Circle, Queen Bitch, Rebel Rebel, Suffragette City, Life on Mars, The Jean Genie, Starman, Ziggy Stardust. Have a great day !! ⚡️
There's a reason I always stick around past the end for the bonus features on these videos. Great story, and whatever anyone else might think, Bowie would have supported you 100%.
Ziggy was my first Bowie album. Saw him a few year later when "David Live" was recorded at the Tower Theater, just outside of Philly. BTW, you may have heard this before during "Guardians of the Galaxy."
GREAT story, and Bowie would be proud.
I love not-obvious choices, bravo!
Please don’t wait one year to do Emerson Lake and Palmer again
Need more ELP, more YES, more RUSH. If it's spelled in ALL CAPS, we WANT MORE!
I also want them to react to U.K., but now I'm pushing it : )
@@Lightmane Yeah UK in the dead of night, that was a band i had in mind before i requested karn evil 9
@@cadanrichards2615 2 people have reacted to it, but they only reacted to part 1 of the 3 part suite, cause they didn't realize it's a 3 part suite. JustJP was one of those who reacted to it, and now he's going to react to the whole suite and I think the rest of the album. Can't wait.

UK was awesome! I had the privilege of seeing them play live in person 3 times on 3 different legs of the series of 30th anniversary tours that they did shortly before singer/bassist John Wetton passed away. Unfortunately, their original musical output from the late 70's is probably a bit too obscure for the mostly Boomer audience who subscribe to this channel. I don't think UK ever got much radio airplay - - which is odd because along with their virtuoso prog musicianship, they had several memorable catchy songs.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce Yes they did, but radio play is usually created by record companies, I think, and they just didn't have the right people promoting them, I think.
Do the whole album. It will you make you better human beings.
Thank you so much for this! Great reaction! One of my favorite songs off one of my favorite albums. Definitely have to recommend "Suffragette City." Slaps so hard.
Always loved this song--I'm old--and the other night, listening to Bowie with my daughter, I asked her to play this at my funeral, just to make one of my cousins in particular laugh when she heard "I'm An Alligator!" She has a great laugh, and I know that line would surprise her, because she's not a Bowie fan, and she wouldn't be able to stop the laugh and I think it would make all of my other cousins laugh, too, hearing her, and they would know I wanted that to happen! They'd be a captive audience then and would have to hear that gorgeous guitar solo! My last gift.
Having them See it--the kimono, for instance--would be too much for that time and place. Maybe one will go home and watch...
Great selection... You can do Bowie at any time! He has so much variety and great songs! True genius.. Do Station To Station, Ziggy is actually a great album to take in whole.
One of many cherished life experiences (for those of my generation) is to listen to David Bowie on a hit of acid, preferably "blotter" ..... His lyrics take on a new meaning LoL!!
Legend. RIP D B 🙌🏻 Bowie was the innovator originator and most people were just shocked and completely confused at his concept and experimentation. but it is so good and influential.
Ashes to Ashes is a jam I will stop and listen to every. time.
Young American is Gold. !
I purchased this album when I was 12. One of the best albums from the 70’s... wham bam thank you ma’m.
