52 years old here and hot as hell
+ShadyPinesMa79 There's hope for me yet then :-)
just amazing
i can’t believe he is dead. such a loss
Ohhh wam bam thank you mam
I'm turning 50. I'm curious to know, what makes younger women interested in "older" men? Fame factor?
Incredibly sexy those eyes and voice just pull you in....
One of the things that i like about him, is that he is not puffed up at all. He has this natural modesty, just behaving like a normal guy, being respectful to others. Although he is a superstar, he does not show any false pride
I got to meet David Jones and his wife Iman. They were so Nice and Sweet. Iman will never remarry. She Loved David So Much 💕💝 Sweet.
There is an interesting story of Sakamoto hanging out with Bowie. He was approachable and normal bloke, when shooting their movie together. However he manifets totally different persona, when they met again at Cannes. He was still nice guy but less approachable and slightly intimidating. Bowie looks more laid back and engaging to everyone especially after his marriage with Iman.
God, that smile of his lights up his face ....its like the Sun and my soul is a little ice cube left at its mercy
When you think of all the current 'celebrities' we have today, swanning around with their entourages and thinking they're the great "I am" - you couldn't get more different with David Bowie here. So natural, charming and friendly - and down to earth. And that smile....! 💗
No celebs in the UK ever have an entourage. They are way too modest and humble to think they are that precious.
Hi, you are so right with the Om sign , he looks just amazing there,just great and so clear 💕take care
I couldn't agree more. There's no celebrity today that even comes close.😅 Because he just has everything a person could want to be ..... Pure gold rare diamond, all r superlatives fall short.
I find I am an enormous fan of him as a human being......and I am an avowed Misanthrope!
His eyes are sparkling. He is so handsome. Love him. The whole package was simply gorgeous.
How can a legend like him be so down to earth and real? God, he's like a real person.
+SheWoreLemon83 I believe he is a real person but yes, he seems to treat people like he is mortal like them. Of course, he is not mortal in the sense of his talents and abilities around music. He is gifted to be able to write songs the way he does and in his vocals.
I believe you that he came from nothing and WORKED hard to get where he is at but he couldn't have done it if he didn't have the gift of a great voice and the ability to write stuff that millions find enjoyable. He deserves all his success because millions around the world have gotten great joy in listening to his music.

He was real, down to earth, and as normal as you could imagine. It's only people, and record companies who create this larger than life thing.
I like this clip so much, for when he passed, no one spoke of the warm, gentle spirit,
he really was, he would laugh at that spirit thing, never the less, it bothered me that no one spoke of the gentleman that he was, it was all about his work, which was his job. There was a lot more going on with David than his music, his innate sense of humor, his warmth, and the gentleman he was.
He was always witty, entertaining, and down to earth in interviews -- and often quite intellectually brilliant as well. But after he married Iman, there seems an almost joyful happiness about him. She was one lucky woman to have had all those years with him.
She was the luckiest woman on the planet...and now the saddest without David.
I think he would say he was the lucky one that's just the kind of class act he was. It seems to me as I've binge watch many his interviews throughout the years there was always an underlying sort of mild hostility on his behalf, maybe more of an annoyance of doing these interviews. He saw them as an unfortunate part of his chosen field, buy he just seem so tired of the same questions year after bloody year. I notice he wouldn't hesitate to show he was annoyed. Given that he was a decent person and a class act he did his best to stay composed but I always felt his annoyance. Every once in a while there would be an interviewer that would ask interesting, intriguing questions and that would be an interview Bowie wouldn't mind and would be very engaged. Well just my two cents but that's what I felt throughout all these years of watching so many of his interviewers.
shame she made him fix his teeth though
@@michaelodowd4807 where did you hear that she made him fix his teeth? Also I’m kinda happy he got his teeth fixed, dental hygiene is important.
@@darcy1005 Hi there,I didnt hear it anywhere I'm just guessing, Just when you're mixing with super rich and her model back ground just can imagine it being suggested he get them fixed .but of course total conjecture on my part..
David Bowie was a motherfucking star and he knew it.
That oblique camera angle is so 1990's
because the 90s had edge!
@@bevmain1704 i
I love watching him smile!!!! :)
Great laugh too!
Me too. His eyes just light up.
How ridiculous to say I love David Bowie when it is clear we all do and how amazing that he is singing this song that kid wrote and doing so with such grace and regard to the kids feelings. Wish he wasn't smoking those damn cigarettes. RIP Starman. RIP
Thoughtful of him to ask for another set of headphones for Alex! The studio crew didn't even think of that!
Yes! And then give a short explanation about recording the lead vocal first. What a gent, totally tapped into the young man's experience.
That was really cool of him. Can you imagine having Bowie sing your song? Wow!!!!
This Alex actually knew NOTHING about Bowie, as he said here:
th-cam.com/video/ZR1thmfeU0k/w-d-xo.html
so Bowie takes the kid's song lyric sheet and improvs a vocal with 2 harmonies totally off the cuff.
he's very good at doubling and tripling his vocal. (to hell with autotune and melodyne) amazing to see bowie inventing vocals. he's a real pro.
great video!
Amazing how he casually sings it in a different key completely in tune and effortlessly.
He just predicted kickstarter, Netflix and I-tunes. Other than misunderstanding the pirate bay, he saw the future.
He didn't just predict them he did this, (see link) which made him very rich at a time when many others were getting screwed. My girlfriend's best mate did the two documentaries for the BBC and became good friends with Bowie in the process. They all talked about him like he was a proper diamond geezer. I went to the first screening of the Last Five Years in Soho and all the musicians that worked with him were in the audience. I used to work as a sound engineer and I've met some proper a-holes who work in the music business. He isn't one of them. A proper gent, respected by his peers and an inspiration to many. One of the all time greats. money.cnn.com/2016/01/11/media/bowie-bonds-royalties/index.html
Bowie is in a different class....
this artist surely has made his mark in pop music. can't believe that i am still listening to his recordings for most of my life and it never gets tiring. diamond dogs, for example, sounds as fresh as the day of it's release. hats off to you, david jones.
God bowie just got more beautiful as he aged. The hair, the face, that voice.
He was sonething else; how I miss him, his smile, his intelligence, his happiness and sense of humor. He was an extraordinary man, and the world lost a bright star with David.
But he did smoke
He did...all of the drugs and smoking took a toll in my view....such a loss.
Connie Silva......Oh please, David was 69. There are people who didn't drink smoke or do drugs that die all the time in their late 60. Let's face it once you hit 60-65 you're hitting prime time for shit to happen and you are more apt to develop all sort of things.
what you saw was a Rock God giving back, no fee, just helping a young rising musician in his first song...this is just another facet of David....An incredible Human being.
David Bowie was always a gentleman, and so funny.. and knew it all!!!
"That was a bit!" Precious! Mad genius.
the master at his work, pure genius, miss him so much, no one can replace him.
such a lovely person! amazing.
Aw, I can practically feel Alex's nervousness through my computer screen, poor dude. I love how Bowie greets him with "hello, collaborator!" and does a silly bit with the camera to break the ice.
I am beyond envious of Alex. But man, I'm so glad he got to have that experience. God bless 'im.

He really comes across as a very nice man. I don't know why that would surprise me but it does. Someone as brilliant as he is and he doesn't have an attitude. At least no attitude during interviews.
What a lovely fellow, david is in this! Never seen him, so relaxed and himself.
OMG that voice...
The way he discusses the future of music on the internet is very interesting... Because exactly what he said is what happened. In 1999 none of this was actually happening yet.
To be fair, a lot of people knew what the internet was going to do, he was just one of the few pop stars who spoke about it.
He was a musical genius. Watching him record that track is very special . such a gent always referring to the young man who wrote the song to check evertything was ok. The cigarettes didnt seem to affect his voice but such a shame he smoked so much. We should have had him for another few years . When you look at stars today with their entourage following them everywhere , its so false. Bowie a true rock god didnt have that , he just wanted to produce art in whatever form he chose. Rest in peace starman , I hope yo knew how mush you were loved by your fans
I can hear the effect of tobacco on his voice over the years. I sing too, recovered my craft partly inspired by Bowie in 2013. I quit cigarettes the same year. I have unusual senses when it comes to hearing people's interior shapes and energies by listening to their voices. I can hear how the tobacco gradually shut down his high register. The difference is stark if you watch, say a concert from 1987 and then one from 1997. Then 2002, 2004. An unfortunate glitch to be sure. Still, his incredible discipline. Even with the tobacco he kept his singing in good shape, with reduced upper range. I'm 47. I still haven't found my voice top, nor bottom. Continuing practice without tobacco, especially cigarettes, continues to expand my range in both directions. I smoke weed like a Rasta too. Not joints, paper smoke is really bad. Glass pipe. It changes my voice, but does nothing to restrict my upper range. One puff off of a cigarette things start to shut down. He started young when everyone smoked cigarettes. I didn't start until my 20's. Maybe easier to quit. Also, he had Mars exactly conjunct his Sun in Capricorn. Tobacco is an herb of Mars for Euros.
In later concerts he generally gave his higher parts, like in Sons Of The Silent Age to Gail Ann Dorsey.
Jackie Shaughnessy Bowie died from liver cancer, nothing to do with being a one-time smoker
@@skygazer6898 A joke surely. There is an extremely close association between smoking and liver cancer.
I have an aunt who reminds me of Bowie BIG TIME! Every time I speak with her, it kind of feels like this interview. She even smokes, and the laugh.. Uncanny. People are similar.
Awesome Bowie footage - he's such a great character. And I can't get over how much some of his mannerisms and speech are like Rick Gervais - no wonder the two got on so well! Spooky likenesses!
He seems like such a nice guy. Down to earth and very easy to talk to. Just makes him all the more interesting and awesome!! Rock on David. Enjoy your "retirement" mate, and send us an album every few years!!!
+Ricky Rhoades -- He was also quite strange and eccentric in a delightful way. Some of his whimsical flights of fancy -- such as claiming the camera was a new art installation he'd created -- were quite bizarre. He had a very eccentric, very English way about him!
+Dennis Lewis Yes. I dig his British accent and eccentric as you say, sense of humor.
I wrote this as Ricky not knowing that he was dying of cancer and was shocked like most Bowie fans when he passed 2 days after releasing his Blackstar album. I'll never forget getting the news that sad Sunday evening from CNN. I thought everything was great with the man being able to release a new album and even hoped he would do a tour.
He retired to heaven.
I love this laugh!! I wish there was more video of him recording other songs, too. Wonderful to watch him work.
Thanks for posting this inside look at Bowie laying vocals for my favorite cut off the Hours LP! It's fascinating how laid back he was as he worked, casually smoking a cigarette and spilling vocals, and enjoying every minute of it. Also interesting how in this day of electronics and artists dependent on auto-tune, what came out of his mouth can go straight onto the tracks without correction or processing, and just the minimum of mix & levelling. His voice was amazing. What a feeling that kid must have for being apart of it...
I loved his smile and laugh as well
he is so perfect
Classe..talento..simpatia...fascino...what else?...love Bowie forever
This man was an absolute gentleman. Absolutely unpretentious. Absolutely kind and single faced ... no bullshitting or pretending about. Making jokes with Alex about publishing contracts ... making everyone comfortable ... really meaning what he's doing. An absolute example. Just involving everyone on an equal level. 90.000 candidate songs in almost 48 hours ... yes, would could very well believe him.
This Alex actually knew NOTHING about Bowie, as he said here:
th-cam.com/video/ZR1thmfeU0k/w-d-xo.html
What a fantastic guy David was. I wish he was still alive. He was a gentleman & a half.
The one and only MASTER at work....how beautiful and talented and pioneering is David! rest in peace...surely miss u.
Loved this, its only been two and a half weeks so I'm still pretty emotional, can't imagine what Iman must be going through.....Wish that Europe had been earlier on the net, in the nineties I knew nothing, would have been member of his forum for sure
GREAT INTERVIEW JUST LIKE FRIENDS CHATTING-DAVID WAS SUCH A WARM PERSONABLE GUY WHO WAS A SUPERSTAR BUT WAS SO GROUNDED & LOVELY WITH IT SUCH A RARE THING-R.I.P DAVID JONES & THANKS 4 MAKING OUR WORLD A MORE INTERESTING PLACE WITH YOUR ARTISTIC TALENTS X X
David Bowie internet trolling before it was a thing. is there anything he didn't do?
+Christine Shane No.
Yeah, he didn't predict mp3. He was wrong about that issue. Anyways, great clip!
That's why we love him....hes living on somewhere...
Nope...... He's perfection personified.
@@iraq.sometimessunnisometim1981 He was indeed...those eyes magnetism I never thought existed. He was ....BOWIE x
Wow.. just simply. Wow!! What a person.
"Clean your desktop up!" I love that.
He connects immediately..so lovely
that was fantastic! ! he was such a sweet guy.
He seemed like a thoughrly nice human being and his music was wonderful
David was always ahead of his time, always a hundred steps ahead of the present.
The word 'genius' fits him perfectly ...
Complete genius!
@@cynthiacurrie5589 Mamma mia David how handsome and charming and brilliant!!!
David was so lovely and so beautiful i miss him so much he was one of the lovelist people i felt i knew bless him
Such a beautiful person.....thanks for your great interview.......
Fascinating look at Bowie the singer at work. Thanks so much for posting!
This is so lovely, so intimate and candid, and it just goes to show how amazing David was to fans and friends and people he worked with.
@13:30, Bowie predicts crowd funding. In 1999.
"Set me free why don't you babe....you just keep me hanging on". RIP, David Bowie.
Such a gracious person. We were truly lucky to have him with us for as long as we did.
The coolest of all.
I love how David knew how special that meeting would be to Alex.
As if he himself were meeting one of his idols, like Little Richard.
Minotaur! I love that. I watched two videos in a row where he mentions Minotaur in some way. Ah, the Labyrinth never went away did it?
+Christine Harrelson Yes, very true, but the cologne is actually spelled Minotaure.
Bowie had a great sense of humour, "can't smoke within 20ft of a cactai anymore", haha!
Wow, really enjoyed this, thanks! A true legend... R.I.P.
I miss him
The older he got, the hotter he got.......he couldn't help it.
1999 and now 2016.... it really is only 17 years ago since this was shot.
+thevisitor wow...............
+thevisitor 27 years.... still seems a short time though. Not the smoking bit ha
+VinakaQueen no, 17 years ago.
The fuck? 1999, 2009 is 10 years. 2009 to 2016....17 years.
22 years now! 2021... Wow.
a kind gracious human being. thank you for uploading! play on David!
I just love his laugh!! Not only is he really interesting to listen to in an interview, he is quite funny!!! He has a wonderful sense of humor!!
Yes love his hair!!!!
It's funny. Some of Bowie's mannerisms and clowning remind me of Ricky Gervais' David Brent character, very British w/a slight bit of unease of situation then a smile or joke to break the discomfort. This is a great video. Thanks for posting.
Have you seen young Ricky Gervais when he was a singer? He looked very Bowie-esque. They were friends eventually too.
It's English manneirisms. I date an English boy and I can tell.
13:00 Bowie predicting iTunes. thnx ranger
Very insightful. Thanks for this. And thankyou Mr Jones.
this is really fantastic, thanks for posting.
29:15 oh my that impression is amazing, DB’s voice is unrecognisable!
Thanks Laurence for uploading, nice insights into the professional world.
My god he's amazing. Got a wicked sense of humour, 19:41 made me lol haha. Mans always got a cig in his hand as well, makes it look so cool I wanna take it up again lol.
Aside from the fact he died from cancer....
I am aware of this.
God Bless David Bowie, what a Beautiful Man
He’s Sooooo Hot!!!! RIP BOWIE 😇🙏🏻❤️
Wow, great process!
bela reportangem de david bowie ,...obrigado por tudo.
he made this tune catchy very quick
This was so cool!!
Lol, at 19:15, did that guy ask David about his cologne/aftershave? I bet he smelled delicious....
+bawoman Yes, and if you listen closely David tells him it is Minotaure. It is an expensive men's cologne that was created by Paloma Picasso in the '90s. It was eventually discontinued but was brought back due to popular demand. It is sold almost exclusively in Europe now, but you can find it on the Internet -- be careful what site you are buying it from though, because some are just fake copies of the real thing. Yes, I'll bet he smelled delicious and Minotaure is a great way to get a little "closer" to him.
Hey settle down over there
Nice looking and very intelligent man he was.Thank god he got off the cocaine still smoking but hey I've got the same smoking habit its a hard if not the hardest habit to break..so I understand sucks he got cancer though I really would of liked to have seen him in concert or better yet talk to him.
Wow great impression around minute 29!!
I love his sense of humor XD
Brilliant human, good man,,, he grew
You can see him want to get into 'the process' and then his process for getting engaged 'the' process
One of the greatest artists of the modern world, and a complete gentleman
This "version" sounds really good.
13:27 : David Bowie just predicted Patreon.
David's positive attitude to the future would be totally shattered now it's 2023 and total chaos.
Well, he was not very positive during 'Heathen' (2002)...
Very nice guy.
I miss David!! Sucks really. He never let fame go to his head I think.
the elder at myspace had the dude that wrote the words link. from a "submit" song contest, also check all of bowies cirius xm and virgin connects pepsi with tina and demanding a better future.
He's handsome with this hair!!!
Black Star is out (the single/video) as of yesterday. Over nine minute video and Bowie is experimenting again. Enjoyed the video although the music did not "grab" me. Will have to listen several times more to see if I will ultimately like it or not.
love and miss you xxx
He was unique.
He blew away with Thursdays Child!
From that moment on Im into Bowie 😏
mesmerizing!:-)
I don't like giving ourselves a title like that guys! It's gotta be something cool and lovable:) u guys are my coolest most beautiful friends I've ever seen it kinda feels like you guys feel .I love to share our experience should always be together ❤❤❤❤❤
