Part Extra 4 - Most Handsome Alien? - The Man Who Fell To Earth

Part Extra 4 – Most Handsome Alien? – The Man Who Fell To Earth

An alien coming to earth? we certainly haven’t heard THAT in Bowie’s career before. In the middle of Bowie’s somewhat established R&B period, It was announced that Bowie was to play the leading role in an upcoming film named “The Man Who Fell To Earth” directed by Nicolas Roeg,  Who I couldn’t exactly find out much about his other works. Our film in question has garnered somewhat of a cult status…

Part 10 - Ice Masquerading As Fire - Station to Station

Part 10 – Ice Masquerading As Fire – Station to Station

1974-1978 are commonly cited as some of Bowie’s most musically creative years. From the political power of Diamond Dogs to the incredible, groundbreaking art-rock of his years in Berlin, many say these years are the peak of his career, even Bowie would go on to say that his work in Berlin was “His DNA”. However, like most great music, or even art in general, it comes from a deep place of…

Part 9 - Experimentation Is The Spice Of Life - Young Americans

Part 9 – Experimentation Is The Spice Of Life – Young Americans

What’s the natural next step forward for any extremely successful Glam Rock star? Why, Soul Train of course! Although David loved rock and made the foundation of his musical career, his other strong musical love whilst growing up was American R&B, so one could assume from David’s perspective, this made complete sense to move on to, as at the time he had achieved all he wanted to with the likes of…

Part 8- Orwellian Humanoids On Roller Skates - Diamond Dogs

Part 8- Orwellian Humanoids On Roller Skates – Diamond Dogs

The Spiders have all split, except for Mike Garson. The era of Ziggy was over, as David intended to move on from the Glam Rock scene he led so confidently throughout his time. During the recording sessions of “PinUps”, Bowie was very busy writing some songs for a very, VERY ambitious project. He announced that he was in fact planning to write and perform in a musical centred around George…

Part 7 - Where Do We Go From Here? - PinUps

Part 7 – Where Do We Go From Here? – PinUps

What an odd direction. Ziggy’s been officially retired, and yet there he is, front in centre on the cover of Bowie’s latest studio album. We’re in another identity searching period folks, around late 1973-1975, Bowie was nearing the end of his glam rock period, and so this album and the following “Diamond Dogs” Are a type of farewell album for the Ziggy/Glam era. This is actually the last album…

Part Extra 3 - Bye Bye Ziggy - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (The Film)

Part Extra 3 – Bye Bye Ziggy – Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (The Film)

1973 was an incredible year of success for Bowie. not only did Aladdin Sane become both a critical and commercial success, but David Bowie was quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon, due to his 72/73 tour which brought him to both  U.S. and Japan. However, things weren’t as great as they appeared on the outside. the lines began to blur between David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, and this of course…

Part 6 – Ziggy Goes to Hollywood – Aladdin Sane

David Bowie, mastering the Crane Kick YEARS before Ralph Macchio. The character of Ziggy Stardust had taken the U.K. by storm. The album reached number 5 in the charts, finally elevating Bowie to a degree of stardom. Now the big journey was to be made, that some british artists failed time and time again : Making it big in the United States of America. Tony Defries (Bowie’s manager at the time)…

Part 5 - GLAM ROCK ROCKS MY SOCKS - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars

Part 5 – GLAM ROCK ROCKS MY SOCKS – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars

The year is 1972. During this year, a new character explodes into the rock scene: sexually promiscuous, rebellious, heavy in drug usage, and unlike anything the Earth has ever seen before. I say this because this character is not from Earth at all. In 1972, David Bowie thrust his newest stage persona, Ziggy Stardust onto the world and as a result, the world of Rock and Roll would never be the…
