Look at him. So skinny, pale, crooked teeth, unmatching eyes, and yet so handsome. He just had that energy that attracts you in an instant. A real star he was.
Uhm.. as someone with anisocoria and pale skin wtf are you trying to say? I can’t be pretty bc my pupils are off and my skin is pale? I’m even more pretty for my pale skin and “unmatching” eyes. 😌
*@David Fair* It's the only bloody sensible answere to give ofcourse......what else is there to utter .. can imagine why he "worshipped life" ...the exciting whirlwind he was in , with the additional mountains of coke.....
He’s so adorable. There’s a softness about him. Even with the “alien” aesthetic and persona there’s still a softness, a kindness that he can’t hide even if he tries. the way he speaks is so intelligent, endearing and quite adorable. He’s so young here. Wow I love this man.
Yeah someone would probably diagnose him as schizophrenic or something now. WHAT? He collects personalities and ideas creative artistic types have always suffered misunderstanding but that era seemed more forgiving somehow or recognized talent more readily. Not surprised he married a supermodel either just different looks and moods she would know what he meant.
He’s bri‘ish so yea... I feel like he said „sorry I drop me t‘s sometimes“ , like me instead of my. Also happens a lot in Britain, especially in the Liverpool Region.
skullfuck. Yeah, not like the one video I saw once of this guy who watched some acceptance speech Ariana Grande made - where every time she said "Um", he ate a whole hot pepper!!! (He ended up eating a lot of spicy peppers.)
He was just so cool. He invited and encouraged people to live life the way they wanted too and THAT'S very important. Thank you David for helping us live our lives.
Celtic Bird Your comment may be the most insightful and important one I've read on YT, and most important observation involving Bowie I've read anywhere, and he has had tomes devoted to him. Thank you. This of course, may be why so many are so devastated by his passing.
When I was 14 I was so obsessed with Bowie and all the looks from the 70s. I tried to be him. Now I am old and the obsession's gone but I still remember how strong that spell was. Back in the 80s there were no interviews like this around ... no internet ... just books with Bowie quotes and fantastic photos. Maybe that made him more enigmatic because you were not over dosed on bowie and had to imagine more about his life .
*@OpinionDay007* Very interesting comment I can identify with.....Although these days with the click of a button one can watch 99% of his then media escapades , the whole Ziggy phase seems to be somewhat silly at times. No wonder he left it behind as soon as he could.
I don’t understand this at all. My peak interest in Bowie ranged from about November 1973 to May 1974. At that time I was (often) immersed in his records, and I would brood over his lyrics, occasionally almost live in them and the stories the lyrics told, but I never thought much about the man himself. This is also how I felt about the science-fiction I read between 1966 and 1969 or so. I was intensely focused on the stories, but wasn’t especially curious about Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Fred Hoyle, or Isaac Asimov themselves.
This interviewer just so clearly has strong disdain for David and throughout the entire interview just keeps trying to have a “gotcha” moment. Like David was so young and shy right here I feel bad for him being judged so rudely. But ironically, in the end no one remembers the interviewer, and David has basically been immortalized forever in his songs and albums as a musical genius and legend. Pure justice.
Elegant, beautiful, eloquent, mesmerizing, courteous. A few of these adjectives can describe today's rock musicians but they all describe Bowie. He was also brilliant, fascinating and one of a kind.
Andrea Ramirez Grow up Andrea, you pathetic little troll. If you think abusing strangers online is a perfectly acceptable thing to do, then your parents haven’t raised you right. Shame on you, and shame on them.
@@internationalcoma I read the exact same thing but I thought it was fair enough, if you factor in he came up with gems like "Time" around this, well, time.
@@mfzoom5401 The missing chapters of the bible sound like the first creepypasta, search up "The Gospel of Judas" a whole chapter said to be excluded from the Bible that was written by people in the 2nd century, almost like fanfic writers, really interesting stuff.
Why didn’t he just say no. And you don’t have to believe in energy. We all know and experience that it’s there, it’s not a matter of faith like God. Faith is about free will, freedom of choice.
He's so softly spoken in his earlier days, like he's still discovering who he was, always questioning and wondering, and that's why he was one of the greatest of all time.
There were stupid idiots back then too... it was just a different kind of stupid. A kind of stupid we can't relate to because there were totally different times. And they weren't so obsessively promoted. It's about the times and media, really. There still are a lot of intelligent, talented, creative rock stars. Maynard James Keenan, Trent Reznor, Josh Homme, Marilyn Manson. There. I gave you a starting point. Now watch some of their interviews.
This is one of my favourite pieces of footage of David, his persona is so gentle and mild-mannered and although he was not at his healthiest during this time, he still looks fantastically and enticingly beautiful (as he always did)
Oh David you were a rare and beautiful boy. The straights never got you until the main stream music industry gave you two thumbs up. I'll miss you forever.
David always fascinates me in this interview, when he's talking about collecting different personalities, his voice is so captivating; it's wonderful, he's a wonderful artist
Even while in his struggle with drugs and alcohol and dealing with Russell Harty, Bowie was kindly spoken and eloquent. A true superstar in every way possible.
He's so beautiful. I love his responses when asked about his perspectives on life, he's just so genuine and dosen't give a care about others judging those veiws.
We love you and miss you, David. I've always been very fond of this interview because it portrays you in all its essence. Ivo van Hove said you didn't want to die at all. Hearing that broke my heart. I hoped that death too was in your planning. I thought you had enough of it or were out of ideas. Nonetheless, you managed to control the timing. You must have thought: Okay, so I'm ill and mortal, but it's up to me when I'm opening the door. Goodbye, Major Tom. Thanks for sticking around.
David Bowie was the inventor of all. The fact that he was doing this all the way back in 1973, and it didn't come around and become popular until 10 or more years later is just astonishing. Greatest male pop culture artist of all time, imo.
Hi ! I'm a big fan of David Bowie, and I've read in an article, in a guitar magazine, that first, when the rythmic must be really well played, or when it takes an important part of the song, he doesn't let it to anybody but him. But I've been amazed by something else : he had played, in the album "Low" : Harpe, Tape Horn, Bass strings, Saxophone, Violoncelle, Tape, Guitare, Pump Bass, Harmonica, Piano, Percussion, Chamberlain, Vibraphone, Xylophone, and Ambient Sound. It was written that "he is a genious of Pop-Rock music, and he is the unkonw great acoustic guitar player". I took care of that in 3 DVDs that I got, with 5 shows and interviews or story of his life, and they are right, he's playing 12-strings guitar (and 6 strings too, for sure) really well. And I've noticed not only that, cause in the show he gave for his 50th Birthday in 1997, like in another video where he's playing with Adrian Belew, he's playing electric guitar very well. A very passionating artist !!! CIAO BYE !
David Bowie is an original.... I was 9 years old at the time of this interview. He made a very strong impression on me as a child. I was scared of him, but drawn to him at the same time. Lol. Then i got older, started listening to his music and fell in love with it. He's a beautiful man, then and now.
David Bowie is so freakin awesome and cool there was nobody like him. RIP even though he passed away he is still making an impact on the world of fashion and music.
He was a very intelligent, creative, and thoughtful man. He will be missed, but he gave us a lot to remember him by. At least he was not taken from us while still young, like so many other of the brightest stars of rock and roll.
David Bowie is and was unique - many people have tried extremely hard to follow, mimic, even out do but failed miserably. There will never be another David Bowie - a true, unique, musical genius - and he's still giving it large!!!
I love and will miss him so much scenes I was little my grandma would say he was the biggest crush she ever had. After watching labyrinth I fell in love with him I was about 7 even now that I'm 18 I still watch it without getting tired of it. May he rest in peace my love will be missed. ❤️
"I love life very much indeed." - David Bowie
+Tracy Vanity Then Blackstar happened and he returned to his planet. :c
Yummylicious
Cant relate lol
Kĺetz dance
He likes Nietsche
Look at him. So skinny, pale, crooked teeth, unmatching eyes, and yet so handsome. He just had that energy that attracts you in an instant. A real star he was.
Or he is, should I say
He also has the most calming voice ever
He oddly looked much better as he aged
@@rockolutheran his eyes are literally different colors pal
Uhm.. as someone with anisocoria and pale skin wtf are you trying to say? I can’t be pretty bc my pupils are off and my skin is pale? I’m even more pretty for my pale skin and “unmatching” eyes. 😌
"Do you indulge in any form of worship?"... "Life". What a perfect answer to that question.
i thought so too.
Thanks God he did, because, honestly, he was far from being physically in a good shape at that time !
@@ladybird7845 he looked like a champ what you mean
David Fair "Life" - informed, I'd imagine, by his choice of reading: Nietzsche, D. H. Lawrence, Kerouac (On the Road) etc.

Ayy Kurt.
You have good taste in people apparently.
i needed to like this to get it to 666
you can just feel the positivity radiating off of him....

Yes but david proved him all wrong!!
He was just trying to get personal. That's what an interview is about.
Russell Harty was a nasty old queen, full of self importance, he was on MSM alot and I will NEVER understand, so condescending to everyone
pure justice, amen

Please. Langauge.
HIS SHOES OMG BOWIE I LOVE AND MISS YOU
the shoes are the best!
But the language though...
so fan-fiction was a thing in the 1970s XD
Think it started in the 60's with Capt James T Kirk and Mr Spock. Fans wrote stories and circulated them, like fanzines.
Hilarious

he was so shy .....
david.we have your eternal music.....see you in the music heaven!!!
"It's very sexy!" ah ah ah
I can't stop watching this, I'm so taken with him in this interview. I wish I could find it in its entirety.
i very much feel similar
Bailey Campbell The full audio is on here which is the next best thing it's a fascinating interview.
DJosephWells Where?
Interviewer: "Do you believe in God?"
Bowie: "I believe in an energy form"
Someone: *Chokes*
lmao
So do i David
Why didn’t he just say no. And you don’t have to believe in energy. We all know and experience that it’s there, it’s not a matter of faith like God. Faith is about free will, freedom of choice.
@@mv9787 lmao
what a strange out of the blue question it was for the interviewer to ask when David was talking about adopting personalities
He's so softly spoken in his earlier days, like he's still discovering who he was, always questioning and wondering, and that's why he was one of the greatest of all time.
back when rock stars were intelligent
+Todd Lavigne and TALENTED.

His voice is so calming here I could sleep to this
perfectly imperfect.The man was a work of art.
