I want to thank you. I'm a 70 year old gay man. I haven't listened to this album in decades. Fantastic. Thank you 😊
Yes. So fantastic. 🎉
TIME is the ultimate Bowie Song.
Brilliant lyrics..........
Pui grande e bella canzone del storia di rock ! SEMPRE BOWIE
It's amazing how polished he sounds, considering how unpolished and raw he sounds.
I watch the Charismatic Voice, Beth is an expert & she describes his vocal range to a T....
Expert LMAO ,,who says ??

'Lady Grinning Soul' is one of my all time favourite Bowie tracks. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Those piano lines!
Masterful song about sensuality! Love it every time I listen!
Piccolo gioilli Lady grinning soûl 💙
Insanely gifted talented man, who had a knack of having incredible musicians supporting him. Once in a lifetime talent - sadly and deeply missed. The band is soooooo tight.Mike Garson piano is amazing…..⚡️⚡️
Yes , his band for the last 20+ years of his performing career was fantastic. They played SO well together and each of them , huge talents . Gail’s voice , even though her bass playing would’ve been more than sufficient , but she had/has that voice on top of it ?! That she could more than make up for Freddie Mercury’s parts in Fame. And the energy between them live was pure joy to see and hear . Damn , they must miss him dearly .
Right from the opening riff of Watch That Man, this record grabs you and doesn't let go. One of best records ever made.
FACTS!
I bought this album in 1973. I was 12 years old. It was the first "grown-up" record that I owned. I still listen to it regularly and as familiar as it is to me, it always sounds fresh and innovative. Aladdin Sane shaped not only my musical tastes but my entire world. Bowie was my first true love. Thankyou Pope. Watching you react to the wonder of David Bowie brings me great joy.
Me too. Pure genius.
Aladdinsane was the album that captivated me with Bowie. And you @POPE have hit the nerve again. I already liked your "The Doors" reactions !!!
And here you show me your passion for musicians from earlier times than your age would suggest! I thank you for appreciating music and it`s musicians. I wished you have much more thumbs up. Best wishes from Hamburg Germany
Hi Pope! I think you nailed it perfectly at the end of this journey : it really feels like visiting an art gallery with a big brother who can show you the best paintings, explain them to you and unlock new paths and landscapes for your curiousity to discover. Plus the fact that the author of these paintings is the big brother himself! And plus the fact that, not only he opens your mind to a whole new universe that was right there from the beginning, but he makes you want to share with others your own creations and discoveries. That's precisely what an artist is supposed to do, imo : discover new horizons, show them in his/her own way and give you the desire to explore them yourself, find new ways and share them in turn...
Keep exploring!
Keep finding!
Keep sharing!
🙂
Great reaction! You hit on something true that Bowie was like a big brother showing you new things. As a teenager in the 70’s Bowie was very much a mentor turning me on to new music, art, ideas etc., that I probably wouldn’t have encountered in my little suburban world. I was 11 when Aladdin Sane was in the stores. I remember being fascinated and intimidated by that cover image. You have to understand there was nothing and no one doing that. It was all long hair and beards, jeans and corduroy, earth shoes and macrame. That image was almost literally a lightening bolt from the blue. Skip Pinups, which is strictly a cover album and jump to Diamond Dogs, the last of the Glam era. Bowie had ditched his band and played most of the instruments himself giving it a very sleazy decadent garage rock sound appropriate to the theme of the album and the dying gasp of glam.
Diamond Dogs and Pin Ups were awesome.
I like "Pinups". In many cases, I like his covers better than the originals. On one of his last albums ("Reality" I think), he covered the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" very beautifully, though I love the original as well.
@@hellemarc4767 I like Pinups too, but it was just a stopgap until Diamond Dogs.
I've been watching a lot of these classic rock review channels, and I'm consistently impressed by the fact that it's not about the time, it's not about what you grew up with, and it's not about a narrow provincial musical taste. The bottom line is great music is great music. I've watched reviewers in the 20s, 30s, and 40s all say similar things. That the 70s produced some of the greatest music this planet has witnessed. One couple in their mid-30s was perplexed, "After all this great music from the 70s, how can you guys listen to anything that's coming out today." I concur. Certainly, great music exists all along the time spectrum. I can go back hundreds of years ago and find great music, but the creative and prolific nature of the 70s is unmatched and may never be matched again. Bowie on, my friend. Bowie on.
Pope! ❤ I love this album ✨ thanks for sharing .
MY FAVORITE BOWIE ALBUM!. I bought the original vinyl when it first came out and still have it! Liked and subscribed!❤
Mate that album must be worth some good money. i had it as well but lost it along the way 🏴
I like you Pope. You are a fan of David, the genius and the Spanish soccer team. Viva España!!!!
Great reaction. Great poetic words. You have so many great albums to listen to.
Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars, Aladdin sane, Diamond Dogs, Pinups all those Bowie albums were arranged by Mick Ronson the guitar player for the spiders from Mars. Though he never got the credit on the albums. Bowie wrote those great songs. Mick Ronson with his arrangements and guitar made that sound in the studio and live. 🎸
Excellent reaction and poem as well! Aladdin Sane is an amazing album, a great listen. The title song is my favorite song of all time. Logically, Diamond Dogs should be next, I know you’ve reacted to a large chunk of it already, but worth a full play. It only gets better from here, Young Americans, Station to Station, Low, Heroes, your gonna love them. I’d recommend going back and giving The Man Who Sold the World a full listen, some buried treasure on that one. Later, skip Bowie’s 80s output and dig into the later stuff. Outside, Earthling, Heathen and Reality are great, and of course Black Star is his later day masterpiece.
THANK YOU!! One of the finest albums I have ever heard. Not a weak song to be found. And SUCH a wonderfully pure rock and roll sound.
Hey Pope, good to see you! This is a crazy, great album.
Great Bowie reaction as usual. I'd love for you to see TIME performed live at the Glass Spider Tour. It was magical. Thanks Pope! Keep "em coming. I can't wait for you to do the full Young Americans album.
Mike Garson's piano reflected well symbolically the schizophrenia of David Bowie's brother. The fragmented, scattered, frenetic unpredictable nature, even though most schizophrenics don't really present this way. Brilliant.
his album together with Young Americans, is my goto for housecleaning music. If it's not these two, it's Joni Mitchell Court & Spark or Hissing of Summer Lawns.
Love your reactions. This should be good! Oh my - what an album.
I was 7 years old in 1969, watching the moon landings live. The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) used Space Oddity as the theme music (it came out five days before the launch). It was the most amazing thing.
I love that you get that he was so unique. For the whole of the 70s his music was like a different reality. One that I was deeply into.
Bowie.
'nuff said.
"TIME IS ONE OF BOWIE"S GREATEST SONGS" you say? You're right. There is a profound song on each album . Curious which you have chosen....
You should check out the live album he did back in the 70’s “David Live” , the live versions of these songs seriously slap 👍
The best version of Sweet Thing-Candidate-Sweet Thing(reprise). Dueling lead guitar - saxophone, you gotta love it. Rock n Roll Suicide, different than any other version of it, as usual. But this too may be the best interpretation.
You've got my support on your channel, i've just sub you after watching your reactions to David Bowie.
You've chosen a fantastic album to play love love love, my favourite on the album is ~ Drive~in~ Saturday..❤
Yay ! I'm so happy to see this one. So, look forward to Bowie reaction videos ! And only 20 more studio albums to go! 👏
Long time since I heard this album all the way through.
Thanks, you are a man of culture.
FIRST GROWN UP ALBUM I BOUGHT WITH MY POCKET MONEY WAS DAVID BOWIE.GENIUS,BELOVED.YOU SEEMED REALLY TOUCHED BY THAT.I PRESUME YOU ARE A MUSICIAN BY THE WAY YOU MOVE.EXSCUSE CAPITALS PLEASE,SIGHT ISSUES.KEEP UP THE POETRY .TIME AND LADY GRINNING SOUL ARE MY FAVES FROM ALADIN SANE.DIAMOND DOGS MIGHT BE FAVE ALBUM.TOO HARD TO CHOOSE.YOU MUST LISTEN TO 5 YEARS.PROMISE .
Welcome back Pope and you're back with a BANG!! lol. Great to see someone react to this album, who else but you, right?. "Aladdin Sane", as Bowie put it is,' Ziggy goes to America'. All the crazy and sometimes sleazy influences are there but there's amazing stuff here and fantastic playing. FIY, the track "Let's Spend The Night Together" is actually a cover of a Rolling Stones song. You know, I'd love for you to go back to the start of his album career, (which, technically, his first album is one with three different titles, but is the same album, ie. "Man Of Words, Man Of Music", "David Bowie" and "Images". but more of that at a future date). The album I'd love to see you start with is "Space Oddity". I KNOW that you will totally get his earlier stuff. It's beautifully poetic, dynamic, theatrical, gentle, powerful, introspective, philosophical and just downright brilliant. I'm not just talking about "Space Oddity" here either, but the two follow up albums, "The Man Who Sold The World" and then, "Hunky Dory". I absolutely guarantee that you will LOVE these three amazing albums from our space boy Bowie. Peace. Oh, just had to edit in that I liked your poem, very cool man.
Thank You!!! Glad your still here :) for 1973 this is sonically way ahead of the curve. Just jumps out at you. The drums in Panic In Detroit are mesmerizing. So many high points on this album. And yes, Time is well, timeless !
omgg this album sooo sooo amazing holy shit
Hello man , thanks for having such a good taste in music. Great to see a young man enjoin my all time favorite this much . This way Bowie will never die .(ps ,my all time favorite is drive in Saturday.
Really great album.
Welcome home Pope! 🎉
THANK YOU 💚
Subscribed. Pretty impressive to see a young man listen to some incredible rock and roll. Bowie was my musical hero as a young kid.
Time 😢❤
I look at the clock and it’s 9:25, and I think “oh God I’m still alive”
You’re right: it’s profound. And deeply affecting to me still after many years. And there’s the rub😢
I was going to write the same thing. It's been a while since I've heard Time, and the 9:25 part made me tear up. Watching this young man's reactions to Bowie is like watching myself back in the day with my ear pressed up to the stereo console speaker. He is all of us 50 years ago.
Hi Pope, welcome back !
Watch that man, pretties star, lady Grining soul......Great álbum from Bowie😎......David could have died in 1980. He was the second in the list of the killer of John Lennon.... Lennon and Bowie were his Two main objectives😐
Glad he didn't for many reasons. His last three albums - The Next Day, Heathen and Black Star - are as good as his early work. How many artists who started in the 60's can you say that about?
One of many absolutely classic Bowie albums.
Diamond Dogs, is the album I listen to most, soundtrack for the 21st century
Another great reaction, thanks. I don't think this is his greatest album, but what the heck, the creativity and passion is insane (pun intended........).
Loved your poem
I couldn’t imagine a world without BOWIE.he’s been with me for fifty years and will be until the day I die 🏴
The opening chords to "Time" make me shiver!
I really like the analogy of being invited into his art gallery.👍
So happy you love his vibe
Cracked Actor is my fave song of all time. Ever since I brought this album home in 1973 at 15 years old. 50 years later and I still love it.
Back with a BANG ❤
Aladdin Sane/A lad insane is a reference to his schizophrenic half brother. In Drive-in Saturday we get a movie within a song that almost predicts the rise of video and the Internet.
Whole album Bowie? What a treat. So much goodness and eras and personalities await ❤
Pope!!! Long time, my friend! I hope you’ve been well and have been keeping up with Patreon as well!
This is one of my absolute favorite albums by Bowie. A quaint follow up to Ziggy Stardust, and a bit of an unloading period for Bowie. Evidently he dedicated so much energy to the Ziggy Stardust character that he went insane and created this character as a direct reaction. A classic with so many greats including the title track, The Jean Genie, among many others. I would also recommend Young Americans and Station to Station. Both great albums as well.
Now onto a list of catch-up recommendations:
The Cranberries - Ode to my Family (or the entire album No Need to Argue)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, pretty much anything from 1976-1994
Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Joni Mitchell (influenced Tool), Tom Waits, Jim Croce, Radiohead, Coldplay, Gorillaz
Glad you’re still making content, Pope! Hope to talk to you again soon 😊
Yeah,... now my day is going well. Seeing you back plus doing a whole David Bowie album. 😀 What more can i ask? I would suggest you do the Scary Monstern Album. It's gonna blow you away. Thank you for your nice poem.
Looks like you had an out of body experience listening to that. Great stuff.
One of my favorite albums of his (Hunky Dory is my favorite)
The awesome pianist, Mike Garson, still performs and can be contacted on FB!
So much to love here!
U are right about Time!
Lady Grinning Soul is sumptuous! He wrote it about Tina Turner’s dancer, the gorgeous Claudia Lennear who may also have inspired Brown Sugar.
Great great album!
He was a master of many styles . Here he still rocks out , but you hear the fragmentation into experimental stuff that refers to 1930's stage shows , but very underground stuff , obscure as hell . Veering crazily , he soon was doing his version of American soul music . For creativity , he set a standard that others aspire to , but nobody has equaled in quite the same bent way .
Glorious reaction .. deeply glorius . Take a deep breath and give yourself an emotional break before diamond dogs x
You need to listen to the album, Young Americans from start to finish….. ⚡️
Thank you Pope
thank youuuuuu
Wow, your subscriber level has truly exploded! Great! I am elated!
If you want a great whole album of his...please do "pinups"...you wont be dissappointed.....one of my all time favs of his....goodness.
I had suggested after watching your Ziggy album that Aladdin Sane should be next in line. Logically Diamond Dogs would be next if you choose to stay on this path. If you do, May I suggest the “live” album that features songs from all three? David Live at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia, it’s a double album. I promise, you won’t regret listening or if you wanna, react to it. As always, 🖖. ✌️❤️&😁. 🍻
Great album
Another gem... I could have done without the Stones cover "Let's Spend The Night Together", though. He has made a whole album of covers of 1960s songs, "Pin Ups", by the way. The first album that was really successful was "Hunky Dory", but before that, he had made two others ("The Man Who Sold The World" and "Space Oddity") that have some really great songs on them. "After All", for instance. Please also check out "Sweet Thing/Candidate" and "We Are The Dead" on "Diamond Dogs". He has made so, so many great songs. Like you said, he was a "big brother" (the title of another song on "Diamond Dogs") to many people who felt somehow different, for whatever reason. Another beautiful song is "Rock'n'Roll Suicide", on the "Ziggy Stardust" album. Lyrics: "You're not alone... Gimme your hands, cause you're wonderful". That's also why he's so important to so many people.
Hi Pope, keep sharing your poems. As for the fabulous Mr Bowie. Although Ziggy is many peoples favourite of his albums, I much prefer Aladdin Sane as its harder, dirtier, sleazier, avant garde, romantic, louder and better produced and constantly in my top 3 played albums ❤. The other two are Station to Station and Low. All three are totally different in content and atmosphere. Have a listen to them next is my suggestion. Onwards with the Bowie journey of discovery!
You are the prettiest star ✨️
Panic In Detroit, Watch That Man, Lady Grinning Soul, whew! Amazing. Not one extra brush stroke. The drums, the girl vocals, the guitar.. Just right. "Ran to the window looked for a plane or two" Reminds me of 9/11. The way the guitar fades out on Panic In Detroit. Nobody can figure out to this day how to do that.
Gosh you really feel the music!
First Album I brought as a 10 year old back in the early 70’s was Hunky Dory
Just brillant
I like you kid you really DO get it ✌️🙏
Yeah albums always give a greater idea on who an artist is,although his earlier album Hunky Dory is more bowie if you know what I mean.Some felt Alladinsane too comercial.
Bowie lived in his own lane , we should pay attention ☮️
I think you get Bowie xxxxxxxxxxxx
Ziggy goes to America!
David N. 1.
I loved all of DAVID's forever evolving 70's music. This one is another very SPECIAL one that I haven't heard in many years. Still HOTT & on FIRE after Ziggy Stardust! This genre became known as GLAM ROCK and King David was it's Leader!!!!! \\\What A LAD INSANE?!!!!!!!
perhaps, after the demise of the 'movements' instigator: *Marc Bolan*
How about more YES. The Keys to Ascension album has a lot of live versions. Check out "The Revealing Science of God" from that album.
Back in the 1970's as a teenager, I use to get girls into my bedsit for the night on the strength of having the original gate fold LP of Aladdin. Sane.
Man who sold the world lp a great lpgets forgotten about, a rocker!
A lad insane. Aladdin Sane. Only Lennon was better a wordplay than Bowie.
Aladdin Sane (a lad insane) was a play on words and a reference/homage to his brother Terry, who committed suicide much earlier.
Imagine, He asked Rick Wakeman of YES to join his Band & later told him, good thing he didn't 😊❤
Its glam if anything, its not hard rock.The name is for his real life brother who had schizophrenia. A lad insane
Yeah, there was definitely something wrong with Bowie-genius. And in the 70's we freaking loved him. Sure sets you back on your heels..doesn't it.
Viaje al centro de la tierra,GLAM .
This was LA in the 70s
Hard to believe this album was actually divisive on first release. A lot of fans who discovered Bowie through Ziggy Stardust resented the addition of jazz pianist Mike Garson. Despite the fact that Ronson's amazing guitar work is still very much to the fore, I can remember more than one person complaining that Garson had "ruined" Bowie.
With the passage of time, it's much easier to see the album for what it is, and appreciate it in its own right.
Superb, super, stunning, sweet, sonic, swift, sensual, sexy, special, sensorial, sounding, seismic, soooo spooky...
I'm asking myself, why do not do a full Iggy album, you've got 5 ones,
Raw power, idiot, Lust for life, tv eye life and blah blah, ok a bit Soldier, c'mon, do it😊
My favourite
*Neither hands nor limbs would burst, it's hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation*
