I literally collided with David Bowie on the streets of NYC. I stumbled to the ground. He helped me up. All I did was say….. “you’re David Bowie!” …..he nodded and asked if I was ok, I asked the same. We went on our way. I wasn’t even starstruck, more that I couldn’t believe it happened. Im sure I looked like a tool.
Good man
Only in NYC do people collide with celebrities. I ran into Steven Spielberg years ago outside of a restaurant
Least he's a nice guy😊
That made your life and he didn’t give a fuck about this moment so now face the fact that you also wanna be a a legend
Ah, that was Agent Jefferies.
My mother had Labyrinth on VHS, and she used to play it for me all the time. It was my favorite escape from my terrible childhood. RIP David Bowie, the one and only Goblin King Jareth.
David Bowie was my teenage yrs and I'm 63yrs old he's still on my favorite list. Love and peace always. Rip David Bowie 🕊️🤍🕯️
I had a class mate who looked like him dressed like him he was another him.
God bless David! He was a very Sweet Soul ❤! He came to Tahoe to see my little girl after she was involved in a fatal accident that she lived through. After his visit Danielle went around the world preforming her ballet career! What a beautiful person David was and what an amazing life my daughter has lived and she's an amazing Mama and an amazing ballet teacher ! ❤ RIP David! 🙏
That's a nice story. How is your daughter doing? I hope no ill effects long term.
How did he know your girl and when you say Tahoe, you mean Lake Tahoe?
That’s a beautiful story Jackie, much love to you and your daughter and grandbabies ❤️
Bowie was a terrific actor, imo. Love his music. A legend. ..... Lack of sleep will make you hallucinate.
Yep, wonderful as Andy Warhol.
Of all the legends that have passed away recently, I only cried for David Bowie. I walked up to the now closed Loaded bar and had a drink in his honor and played his songs on their Jukebox. Dang, that was a sad night. I live near all these spots, nice video.
My dad was the double of David Bowie, and with an English accent on top of that he was always getting approached by David Bowie fans asking for his autograph, especially when we went abroad for a holiday 😂 then David got his teeth fixed so for a short time there was a difference in their looks… Until my dad got dentures and then they looked alike again! I remember feeling like royalty when we were out and about because people used to point and stare and say “oh god look, there’s David Bowie and his daughter” 😂😂
Please, share a picture of him if possible. 😎
How about now? Is he still with us? It makes me happy that he exists.
Such a cute story!!💕
You must have been mobbed everytime you were out in public with your dad! I'd be curious to know what type of work your dad did as a Bowie double?
@@prophetmargin7497 he didn’t do any work as a Bowie double, I don’t think it was even a thing back then. He was a decent, hard working coal miner… nothing fancy! But family holidays were always fun, especially over in America. One woman walked out of a store one day, looking at her hands and not paying attention to where she was going and walked right into my dad who was walking into the store and so he grabbed her to save her from falling on her tush. She looked up to thank him and screamed! My dad instinctively put his hands up in the kind of surrender position thinking he had grabbed her too hard or something and she said “Good God, I’ve just been hugged by David Bowie!!” My dad just smiled the kind of same closed mouthed half smile that he just did because it was just how he smiled, but it made him look even more like Bowie - so we all thought anyway - and said in his English accent that he hoped she was ok. She heard him speak and had to grab the rail of the trolley corral, we thought she might faint 😂 we didn’t laugh at the time of course but I often wondered if the lady often spoke about the time she was hugged by David Bowie outside a grotty little 7-eleven 😂😂 bless her
When you are awake for days on drugs you start seeing the shadow people.. I went to a party in that house in LA years ago. David's drawing was still on the wall, part of the wall I should say. I have adored David Bowie since the 70s and have been to many of his concerts. Miss him.
Sweet dreams Starman, I still miss you everyday.
"The Man Who Fell To Earth" was filmed just outside of Santa Fe New Mexico
I got so lucky to me David when I was an extra on the movie "The Prestige" And got to see him in concert in the '80s. Great video as always!
I love that movie and love that he played Nikola Tesla that was awesome
What?! Omg...@Sebastian~ you met David? I always practiced what I would say if I met him in person.
I was very close to the stage at the Chili Pepper because the venue held appx 1k? But there were probably about 12 or 1300 in there. Also in Mass...very close...I even had roses for him but I didn't make it. I didn't want to do anything stupid because we had been "partying" most of the day! Lol! He seems like he would just be so "down to earth" to talk to. I think he was probably the busiest man on the planet.
You got to met him
@@annamatlock1309 Ya. As I said above, I was an extra on the set of the Prestige, as they moved equipment around, my " extra wife" and I got stuck in a corner with him. He was so damn cool. It was one of those moments you become speechless.
Big Bowie fan here so I'm very jealous that you got to meet him haha. My uncle had tickets to go and see him in the 70s before he was a huge name, but he got drunk and never ended up going! If only I could invent a time machine lol
Living that close to the main road with all that traffic would be a “nightmare house.”
Yes, I was surprised at how busy the road is.
Bowie was an artistic genius that lived the perfect life he was destined for 🙏🥂
I like the movie he made with Catherine D., "The Hunger.". He was quite good in that. He played a modern day vampire.
How could i never have not known this about Bowie? Love him❤️❤️❤️. You really do your homework!! Your the best!! Thank you for a very interesting vlog👊🫶
I fell in love with David Bowie when he played the handsome Goblin King Jareth in Labyrinth. When I learned of his death,my heart was crushed. Such a talented,wonderful man. I miss him still.
Possessed swimming pool?!
I’m in!
When he got his star on the Hollywood walk of fame it was presented by Johnny Grant, the unofficial mayor of Hollywood.
One on my list...Roosevelt hotel and booking Marilyn's room where she lived for three months...yess
I met Candy Clark from American Graffiti, at a gathering celebrating that film. She was David Bowie's leading lady in The Man Who Fell To Earth. We talked about that film, and she said David Bowie was very good to work with, and saw him as a real gentleman.
I’m a big Bowie fan and LA native, but had no idea that he lived in Beverly Hills for a while. I’d love to find out more about this house and that possessed pool! Thanks for this insightful video… Subscribed! 👨🏻🎤
"It's the babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo, hoodoo, you doo!" I loved the musical numbers in The Labyrinth. His voice is absolutely amazing!
Do what?
Remind me of the babe.
@@conniecomeauxcormier3892 From the movie Labyrinth, he sang a song about the baby brother, of Jennifer Connelly's character.
David Bowie still legendary!! Miss him!
Google Map and you can see the white truck in the blue car and there's a red vehicle in the middle of the pool is right behind that
GOBLIN KING, GOBLIN KING... WHERE EVER YOU MAY BE.... love love LOVE this! Y’all have done it again! Sofa King awesome! Thanks for sharing!
1:28: awww, "Orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips please."
my mom send me a message when david passed...i started to cry because i know that my mother was crying...when i hear ashes to ashes i cry every time! beautiful tears...
If you look at the house on Google Earth, you can see the pool is rather small. It appears to be smaller than a car!! Great video as usual!!!
He had been engaged in the occult (magick) at the time. Supposedly he saw a black horned bull like shadow at the bottom of the pool. He called on Angie to make sure he wasn't going nuts, and she saw it as well! They both freaked out! After that incident Bowie wore a small gold cross around his neck until the day he died.
Apparently Angie still says that there was a black mark in the pool that they could never get out from that very ceremony. She said that it remained there years after the house was sold.
@@MummyBrown Very Creepy!
You do realise they both took drugs back in the day they were probably high!
@@caroljohnston1240 Yes I do realize that, but they still both saw the same thing. The whole story came from his wife, not me! Lol
Yep; and later they became good friends with that bull headed being; he was talented, that horned block; David called him Artist-Minotaur and had made an album with him together back in 90's. He also wrote song Beauty and The Beast about how much them two were irresistible together
Bowie was so talented RIP David 🙏 you are loved and missed
Your channel is so friggen epic maan! Don't swear I'd like to see you getting monetised for these! Never have I ever wanted to visit L.A.
I never knew Bowie lived in LA,interesting vlog 👍.Be great to see you vlog the Wonderland murders someday.
I love David Bowie! His song "This is not America" is one of my favorites! Thanks for the great video!
Another great video! Thanks for taking us along.
Wow nice to see David Bowie's California home. Loved his music and so sorry that we lost him. Thanks for the video!
I wish their was video of the pool exorcism too I would have paid megabucks$$$ to see it I can only imagine. R.I.P David Bowie & thank you for the story Micheal. The way you told it was perfect. Gets me cracked up every time I watch this video. Keep up the good work guys.
If you Google 637 N. Doheny, BH, you can see a satellite shot of the pool (albeit, far away). The same white pickup truck is parked there.
I love Google Maps. One of the Hollywood studios lots is now on its 3rd transformation. It's was cool to see the movie lot to be taken over by the car lot to be transformed into a mixed-use residential/shopping.
Barely a bathtub size and filled in w concrete it looks like. Blasphemy!
The traffic noise would drive me nuts. Thank you for sharing this video. 🇬🇧
That sound can be heard thru-out all of california…..i truly hate the amount of population that has grown here in the past 35 years
Not peaceful at all and live in UK.
Those good times are gone all these little venues with the best music the magic died when the Internet was born.
Jax you are exactly right!
truth
So bowie helped kill music when he ventured into the internet business?
@@SuperMrdumm you're obviously just a young kid and these times were before you were born if you had any experience in life you would understand like the other 64 likes and bowie has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
There’s some pretty exiting music out there, Kokoroko, Chilly Gonzales, Lianne La Havas, Cory Henry, Tyler The Creator, just to name a few, didn’t mean to spark another generational debate, just sharing my perspective
David Bowie is my favourite singer. His voice is absolutely beautiful🥰
I agree, I am a British American duel Citizen from Ashton-Under-Lynn England and followed David and Billy idol in music and David's acting career has always been top notch also. Unfortunately I can't say that to much about others, they were before their times.
Yes mine too
I was looked at strange back in the day as I adored Bowie and Alice Cooper.
A Rock God. No doubt about that. I went to an amazing exhibit of all his costumes and personal effects and just broke down crying. He was beyond artist to me
David Bowie bought me a drink at the Cathouse, October 10th, 1989.
I saw the X-Pensive Winos at the Palladium in 1988.
British icon true legend!🇬🇧
I saw Bowie once in concert during his "Let's Dance" tour at the Toronto Exhibition......great show. R.I.P.
When you mentioned Michael about how he became the character, I'd like to say, he became an extension of himself in another form
I've been to the Roosevelt hotel. I could only be in the lobby area and other rooms downstairs. But it is amazing. I've always wanted to go up in the elevator and go up to where the rooms are. Because I know about the mirror with Marilyn Monroe's face in it. But also Montgomery Clift, his ghost is known to haunt The Roosevelt hotel. When he was getting ready to shoot a movie he stayed at The Roosevelt hotel and it was said that he would practice his bugle for the movie in the hotel hallways. People say to this day that they still hear his bugle play. I would love to go up there and experience that for myself
I seen Bowie in West Berlin, 1983 when I was stationed there in the Army. Was the Let's Dance tour. He had that white suit on and gave a great show🤗
I wish I lived somewhere called the Nightmare house! That's awesome! 🖤
Great videos, very informative, keep up the great work, from England
What a legend. Loved his collab with Lennon on, "fame", and some others on that album..other then hardcore bowie fans, not alot of people know that's john singing with bowie. pretty cool little tidbit.
Awesome song! Great example of how it was should be done. ..lol I believe the word is posterity but I understood you😊
Thanks to your giving the address of 637 Doheny, I went to Google Maps and saw the swimming pool from the satellite view.
I always thought the Hollywood stars were in front of the Chinese theater. I've never been to LA so I didn't know this, you learn new things every day. I like your channel, very informative.
The Handprints are right in front of the theater. The star walk of fame runs the tire length of Hollywood Blvd proper. Blocks of it.
Station to station is a reference to the ten sphere's of the kabbalah. He dabbled in the occult. Love the 2 sphinx at the front for reminiscent of a photo shoot inspired by Crowley's old photos.
That's so cool, back to 60s look, just watched once upon a time in hollywood last night. Love Bowie, he's missed.
I remember hearing story abt him seeing a demon in the pool! Thanx for your vids. 💜🌈🎶🌻✨🌙
Love + Light xx
You should buy a drone with a video camera to get the pool image you want. I actually saw David Bowie in concert at Giant's Stadium during "Glass Spider" tour! A truly amazing concert!
Love the scenery and the palm trees, and of course David Bowie ...cool vid.
I’ve always heard that the hotel you showed was haunted for years. I’m like you I’ve always wanted to go to that hotel.
I always enjoy the extra trivia that Michael adds that doesnt even have to do with the title of the video. Don't go changing Michael. Happy Halloween 🎃
100 years from now Bowie will still be ahead of his time.
I love eclectic videos and I adore your channel. I have loved Bowie for 30 years and I still listen to him daily. Thank you for this so glad I found you here in his cold UK homeland.
1:30 the concert scene in The Blues Brothers that you referenced here, was not at the end of the movie, it was actually much closer to the middle of the movie. At the end of this concert, Jake and Elwood sneaked out of the building through an open window backstage. This was the beginning of the very long Police chase scene. Elwood "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sun glasses" Jake "HIT IT!!!" The closing scene in the movie was the Blues Brothers playing another concert, in prison. 12:15 For situations like this where you cannot see something from ground level, you might want to look into getting a drone.
Loved the labyrinth comment xx
My favorite Bowie song "Heroes"☮️☮️
Same here along with Changes. What an extraordinary talent.
Young Americans & Putting Out Fire (with gasoline)
Thank goodness David Bowie realised he needed help and managed to get off the drugs and clean himself up, but he was definitely a man before his time. Such a brilliant, talented man ❤❤❤
Bowie didn't even remember doing station to station
Love these videos. So much great information. Thank you. 👍🙂
I loved "A Man that fell to Earth"... What a crazy time for him!! such a great album too!! Strange how some the biggest songwriters/performers can break down at times... we are all human!! or not... ?
The artwork on those windows at the Paladium were done by the famous Shepard Fairey!
The best singer out love his songs🌞♥️
Luv the vids u guys make. Such a Bowie fan. ❤️n✌️
Always enjoy your videos. Incredible story wow
The Man Who Fell To Earth was largely shot in the former mining ghost town of Madrid, NM. The spot where Bowie actually “Fell To Earth” is on my friend’s property in Madrid. 😁
No other celebrity death hit me quite like his. I can’t put into words what he means to me. I’m still in denial that he’s gone.
David bowie was such a talented artist ( musically and actor ). Another aweseom video.
That's only a block away from Joan Jett's old joint.
love your blackstar tat I got one too. I love Bowie
I tell you, I love David Bowie, this was a fun video. My first real show was on October 1, 1995 at the New World Theater in Chicago, David Bowie with Special Guest Nine Inch Nails. You want to talk about an incredible show, this was one. First Nine Inch Nails came out and did their thing, the Downward Spiral had been his latest release and I loved that album so I was pumped. The stage went dark and this blue lighting came on and Trent Reznor did this saxophone solo for a while, I have to admit, I was a bit inebriated, so my timing wasn't so good and 25 years can blur some things, but he did do this amazing sax solo, then the lights kicked on and Bowie's band had set up with NIN and Bowie came out and the two of them did several songs together and NIN slowly faded out and Bowie took over. He did his thing, he did say he had the flu that day and he did cut things a little short, but it was great. That first show turned out to be one of the best shows I ever saw. Bowie the actor was great as well, Twin Peaks is probably my most watched performance of his, but as much as I love his acting, I will always be most grateful for one of the greatest albums of all time in The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
My understanding is that Trent Reznor lived in the house on Cielo drive after the Manson family murdered Sharon Tate and her friends. It is said that he had her front door, with the word, "Pigs" written on it in her blood, in his studio. The cops took photos of it, but did not take it. There are pictures and videos of an interview of Roman Polanski sitting in front of that door after the murders. I wonder where that door is now. I hope someone destroyed it. Just a piece of trivia for you....
@@petmomful2260 It is true that he did record the bulk of The Downward Spiral at that house. It was the Manson Family that wrote the word Pig in her blood on the door. Trent did call the house Le Pig Studio while there. He took that door, I believe he is the last person to live in that house before it was torn down, and it was used as the front door of Nothing Records. That building was abandoned in 2004 and the door left where it was, but it was purchased by Christopher Moore, a collector of oddities, in 2019 and his plan was to use it in his new home as the front door.
It was an incredible show...
Thank you guys for all your videos, I'm new to your channel. I like the way you guys create and document. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers!
I think Bowie lived in Hotels in West Hollywood for shorter periods of time. While he wrote or composed songs for movies that carried his songs. Like 'Cat People.' 'Putting out the fire with gasoline.' Some David Bowie's songs were written specifically for soundtracks.
Only Michael can get away with saying Happy Halloween in April. 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 Bowie is legend!! 👍🏻👍🏻 That Halloween Jack is a real cool cat! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for this story. Love Bowie and his music.
Bowie was the soundtrack to my life. I miss him deeply.
OMG, dude. These rock history videos are so awesome. This is all stuff that would never get recorded because it's such obscure information, the kind of stuff that gets mentioned at parties and incredibly cool to be recording it here for posterity. So much more entertaining than most of the garbage shown on cable tv.
Just discovered your channel....dude....well done. I'll be binge watching these for days lol. Thank you for all your hard work bringing us this content.
Weird I looked up number 637 in the Strongs Concordance ( Hebrew transliteration) and it means aph (af) which happened to be on the sign in front of the Theater #geniesAF
and it means accession, also, or the face, countenance, or ire, wrath
I just thought it was weird lol
14:03
I’ve heard that the Hollywood sign was haunted.
I need to go to David´s house, he is everything for me
Your hand needs its own channel.
The hand...of Grimm. Thank you lol
You guys should do famous actor places and audio biographies
Two of the biggest stars/musicians Mr. Bowie and Elvis shared the same Birthday! Jan 8th. David's Son, Duncan Jones is a great Director.
David Bowie was on some good shit.
Hey in Pomona they filmed Dr. Suess here in downtown Pomona and some of the buildings still have the paint when they filmed here. Same with the X Files they left a mural they had painted of the Mother Mary on the wall when they filmed here years ago.
Hi Michael and Jessica. Cool blog. Who didn't love Bowie right? The property is bigger than it looks from the front. It looks so modest in front. The Roosevelt Hotel is on my bucket list too.
Well, I've learned more about one of my favorite singers and enjoyed the ride. I grew up loving his song "Golden Years" and still love it. If you ever get the chance, read "The Man Who Fell to Earth." I know there's been a remake of the film, but I can't read that story without envisioning Bowie as the protagonist. He'll always be the Man Who Fell to Earth.
I saw David bowie live at Glastonbury and also with David Gilmour royal Albert hall
The swimming pool was an indoor pool according to Angie Bowie who was present for the excorsism.
We LOVE staying at the Franklin Roosevelt Hotel. Another fun thing there is that they have a “secret” speak easy on the second floor that most locals don’t even know about. It’s really pretty cool- very retro- with a full on bowling alley. On the weekends, people totally dress up- 1920’s clothes and very expensive outfits. Very, very difficult to get reservations there (unless you’re a hotel guest), but certainly worth trying! We’ve had such a blast going!!!
My new favorite YT channel. Thank you! 😎
He was such a talented singer, very versatile..wow, didn't know he had a drug problem😕..RIP..❤
I loved David Bowie’s music 🎵
Great 👍🏻 video thanks trying to get to pool 🏊♂️ it would off been awesome to see the pool But top video dude 🇬🇧
Been to the Palladium a few times in the 80s. Saw Motorhead, Venom and Slayer there.
David Bowie is the soundtrack to my husband and I life together. Over 37 years and more before we met. I never expected too but I cried for over a week when he died and couldn’t understand why because I never actually knew him but it was because he was so important to the best times me and my husband have together so here’s to a Friday night in Scotland at home, with a whisky and listening to music which always ended with us dancing on the living room floor together to Bowie.
