It still doesn't feel like Bowie's is gone. He was so laid back and chill here. As if he'd have a great conversation with a group of people. Such an exquisite personality.
Something that I don't understand about comments like these is that they don't take into account the fact that he'd dropped out of the public eye 12 years before his death. He stopped doing interviews in 2004. For those of us who followed him, that was massive. Were you watching these old TH-cam clips and thinking they were new?
David lived next door when we were kids. Boys scouts, teenagers finding our way; now when I see this video I swell up inside with a glow,and, then shed a tear..memories are marvelous when you get old(80).😊
One of the nicest interviews with Bowie ever. Ross really put Bowie at ease and brought out his fun personality. Ross has the balls to take the mick out of Bowie in a fun way and I think Bowie appreciates that. I think this is Bowie as close to the real guy as we may have ever seen. Bliss. Thank you Rossie!
Jonathan Woss is a great great interviewer especially when he knows his guest personally. David Bowie and he are on the same wavelength - just as his interview with Boy George was when George came out of prison.
@@monotrious This looks like right around or a little before he filmed Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. He did a little piece with Bing Crosby earlier in I think 81 or 82, but looks a lot younger than he did a year or so later in Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence. So I think this appearence is around 81-83. So when you say he was more comfortable than when he was younger< I'm guessing you mean his Ziggy days? Or even before that when he was interviewed for his fashion along with a bunch of other young guys. He wasn't a singer yet, I think, He was a bit stiff. But not that bad.
Back in about 1977 a friend invited me to go see David Bowie with her. I declined for some reason and have sooo regretted it ever since. First, the friend died a couple of years later in what may have been a suicide. Second, I came to greatly appreciate and even love David Bowie. But he toured rarely after that. So yep, you youngsters don't let opportunities like that pass out of reach! Shoot, I don't even know if concerts are a thing of the past now. But for a too short amount of time we could go see our favorite music makers among thousands of like minded people and that collective vibration built of awe, honor, love, and rock n roll would lift us higher than any drug or airplane ever could. Let's pray they come back.
Sir David was nothing other than a true Prophet sent from God for an amazingly complex, subtle, multi-faceted task of "great healing".... Sir David made a Life message from which ALL of Humanity has been a blessed recipient over several decades. An amazing Man, nay a "Saint"! whom was able to conquer what would normally be sophisticated challenges with an other worldly ease, charm and wit. The Man was a truly delightful enigma. Sir David, wins my Lifetime Achievement Award in an area to which few have ever ascended. The surprisingly difficult task of just "How the fuck to KEEP IT REAL" in an increasingly confused, sick and emotionally fraudulent World, Bowie was a Master. I loved his 'neighbourly chats"... Can anyone think of anyone else of comparable status that so warmly, comprehensively and transparently opened their personal Lives and thoughts to the World... I cant think of any! Sir David, you were simply the Best. Deepest thanks for your entire Life contribution. God love's you...I Love You! Rest in Peace Sir David for All Eternity. I take comfort in the fact you are firmly ensconced in Heaven and your Spirit surely continue's your Godly work for the betterment of Existence and the free expression of "Love as Creativity." ...there really is no other way to describe the Phenomenon that was his incredibly, rich and varied Life. A stunning achievement! God Bless.
Yeah, I thought about it as well, a bit sad, isn't it? Back then no one thought he'd disappear for so many long years... and return for such a short time :(
When he was singing the lullaby, you realize what a great talent he was. He is one of those singers who could sing the phone book and it would be a #1 hit.
I'm serious, I have never had any weird reactions after a celebrity died, even when I probably should have. But with Bowie, my entire being just screams, "He's not dead!". I just don't feel it! It's so weird.
@@SoldierOfLoveForNow what? He had an heart attack at a festival not far from Hamburg, Germany. A friend of mine worked in the unit were they saved his life. Smoking leads to heart attacks and strokes (what he also suffered)
Although he looks fantastic you can see how he inhales deeply occasionally like his chest is congested. He may have looked fit on the exterior but sadly it’s what’s going on in the inside that matters.
They shoot jokes like balls in a tennis tournament final- I just flicked my eyes from one to the other until I got laughing tears- and then a real tear, because I so much miss you David.
First time I became aware of Bowie was his musical appearance on some tv show during his ziggy stardust phase. He fascinated me then and he continued fascinating me over the decades. Eternally morphing into someone new/something alien. rip, bowie. You are gone but hardly forgotten.
It's funny that after he's been talking to someone with a thick London accent like Jonathan Ross, Bowie's own natural South London accent starts to creep back in. If you don't believe me watch him when he's interviewed on US television and he speaks in a posher more clipped voice than he does here. I guess despite living in the US for many years he never forgot his roots and didn't mind a bit of banter with people, more so once he's left his excesses of the past behind and entered middle age. But what's really annoying me is how good he looks for his age and that amazing hair. Everyone I know who had great hair like that lost it once they got to 40!
In questa Intervista Bowie aveva 56 anni e una carica vitale unica....la sua voce sempre suadente e il suo sorriso sempre luminoso....un grande carisma...caro Duca quanto ci manchi...
Absolutely correct! David Bowie, besides being the greatest Rock Star of all time, is also a class act extraordinaire and everyman, with a top shelf sense of humor. You're so right, he could indeed have a conversation with anyone. Whether it be laid back and funny, like this, or deadly serious. Bowie was not only Rock's greatest loss, he was a hell of a loss for the world. Marc ⚡
ok I'm going to be trite and repeat the obvious, but I can't help it - David is SO Dashingly and Devastatingly handsome here - I really think he looks beautiful with longer, beach blonde hair. Anyway, what I really wanted to say was that I love how David loves and interacts with his fans.....the way he looks at them during the show, and reacts to them - it just goes on to show how much love he had for his fans. That's the quality a true star should have, in my book, and David is one of them.
Im so happy to have seen David Bowie twice in my life and to be treated to his music it has been something that i believe was an experience that changed my life! I love him i was so sad when he passed . Black Star is an amazing parting gift ! Thank you
October the 7th, in Copenhagen! Yes, I was there with my sister. I hadn't been able to get tickets but we met 2 young girls who had been dumped by their boyfriends, so we got 2 tickets on the 9th row - SO lucky! It was a great show, and it was his last tour ever...
Yes, only don't compare the best from decades ago to average acts of the present day. A kid from today could find the best band now and say look how great music is now compared to the 80s by pointing to Journey and Rick Springfield.
It's a fact that manufactured bands have no talent compared to what music was like in the 60s 70s and 80s and some 90s more indie music. The x factor etc took away from real talent and just made crap most of what is around is mind numbing shite.
@@dixonpinfold2582 I'm not counter arguing or anything like that. I only know two songs from them and one I find great (Separate Ways). But I really don't know how people in general perceive them, because they were never popular where I live.
A lot of the male stars who were so arrogant being interviewed when younger are really amazing being interviewed when older, this is a great interview of Bowie.
Isn't he just lovely,you feel you know him, he's your best mate one minute and your love interest the next. Irreplaceable and missed by so many.I can't talk about him in the past tense.love you Davie boy.
Funny thing watching David Bowie is he sounds like a guy doing an impression of David Bowie. Can you imagine when he combed his hair in the mirror he must have said to himself" Fuck. I look like David Bowie "
The major musical force throughout my life,and he's from my old manor in South London,Brixton. RIP Starman. WHAT a band they have up there now,i'd pay a fortune to see them just jamming.
Bowie is extra special and incredibly talented. Miss him but I keep his memory alive through listening to his music!!! Major Tom to Ground Control.......🎤🎹🎵
David Bowie asking his audience to tell him when his tour dates are is such a fun look at the gears of the machine, dude was meta as fuck even when he wasn't trying to be
It still doesn't feel like Bowie's is gone. He was so laid back and chill here. As if he'd have a great conversation with a group of people. Such an exquisite personality.
it's calle death. it takes us all one day. he had a bloody good life compared to many.
@@Dion_Mustard That's dark. I think he would laugh at it.
@@coreycox2345 The Reality Tour, according to his bandmates, was the happiest he's ever been.
Something that I don't understand about comments like these is that they don't take into account the fact that he'd dropped out of the public eye 12 years before his death.

@@CoriolanusQuince My comment did not have a period in mind. It was my impression based on the perception I had of him.
David lived next door when we were kids.
Boys scouts, teenagers finding our way; now when I see this video I swell up inside with a glow,and, then shed a tear..memories are marvelous when you get old(80).😊
You lived nextdoor to David Bowie?! Please can you share a few stories?!! That's crazy.
Charisma, personality, presence.
And Bowie comes across pretty well also!! lol.
U missed out his brain he’s an absolute genius
Which he has NONE
lol lol and u r who ?
@@the90sfattyfromtakethat better than him and you
It's been over 4 years, but I just struggle to come to terms with the fact that he's no longer with us
Feels like yesterday..
I'm still waiting for his next album...
We are still here.. maybe for something.
... it’s difficult isn’t it.
Kieran White Imagine how tough it is on his lovely wife and children

Perfect description. He was always at his best interviewed by Ross
Jonathan Woss is a great great interviewer especially when he knows his guest personally. David Bowie and he are on the same wavelength - just as his interview with Boy George was when George came out of prison.
Exactly. Ross is hilarious.
They were close friends by this point so not that unusual that Bowie was laid back
When I see Bowie or hear his voice, my heart swells in the same overwhelming way that it does when I look at puppies and kittens. Serotonin rush!
Hahaha relatable
I agree...the voice 😍
Here he's miles away from his early interviews. Settled, relaxed and real.
Yeah , He's Definitely A Lot More Confident In Interviews Than He Was When He Was Younger , No Doubt .
He was always being real and himself, even when he was on drugs. It's just you who can't see that.
Russel Harty was terrible.
It's because he was usually always coked out his mind in the older interviews
@@monotrious This looks like right around or a little before he filmed Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

Fucking hell what a beautiful man! All round! All over! Inside n out! N funny 2! I'm crying!
Was David Bowie the coolest guy in the world ever?
No, Lennon was! Stupid question really
Well he had a head start coming from London didnt he.

Yeah, he was
No, that was his accountant.
He’s so positive and he is so happy makes me happy to watch this
So sad he's passed because he finally chilled out and became the man he always wanted to be, his word's, amazing guy
Poor Jonathan Woss has to say that David has a new album called 'Weality' and it has been 'well weceived and had wave weviews'.
😂
I love his F1 reviews. Thewe goes the fewwawi.
Helen Trope truly ross shouldnt speak. fascinating he has a career in tv.
@@reresimone4300 It's never held him back
Helen Trope that is true. has to be said.
"Next albums out in 5 weeks."
10 years later we got the Next Day.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
I Love this man! ♡
Yeah, I thought about it as well, a bit sad, isn't it? Back then no one thought he'd disappear for so many long years... and return for such a short time :(
These days they call anyone an icon but Bowie truly is an ICON and a lovely guy too
There won’t be another artist that original , handsome , charismatic, clever and curious like Bowie ever
Add extraordinarily intelligent, witty, and well read and you are almost there.
All of the above!
David Bowie. This charming, talented guy. Awesome
jkn
When he was singing the lullaby, you realize what a great talent he was. He is one of those singers who could sing the phone book and it would be a #1 hit.
How great to live in the time of David Bowie
Great interview. David was so down to earth.
So articulate, so funny, so missed.
he's deathless in my mind
So missed. No one is close to this talented fabulous artist. A really nice guy. ❤️
I just realised that I watched this with a broad smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
I'm serious, I have never had any weird reactions after a celebrity died, even when I probably should have. But with Bowie, my entire being just screams, "He's not dead!". I just don't feel it! It's so weird.
Same! He'll always be around..
I must be the only one who confuses him w/ Jagger :/. I was born in 82 tho, I deserve a pass. Anyways, rip. For an older he was handsome.
He just seemed more alive than the rest of us haha
Amanda Ellis channels him. Watch. :)
He is not dead, indeed!
I have never cried when a celeb has passed away, yet I really cried when I heard the sad news of his passing, it still gets me x
‘You do seem to be really full of life’ nearly broke me 😢 Great interview though, he was always on top form with Johnathan Ross
He was always so full of life, it was a terrible shock when he died because he seemed so alive
Who would have thought that he was about to embark on his final tour he looked so healthy and fit here
Decades of smoking french cigarettes had an impact on his heart
@@joe22589 no.
@@SoldierOfLoveForNow what? He had an heart attack at a festival not far from Hamburg, Germany. A friend of mine worked in the unit were they saved his life. Smoking leads to heart attacks and strokes (what he also suffered)

Awww, adorable. May he rip
We were all blessed with David's music and his influence on our lives
Thanks David. X
One of my favourite artists of all time . He was looking and sounding in top form here . Long may his music be heard .
Bowie is always great in interviews! DAVID BOWIE WE MISS YOU SO MUCH! R.I.P LEGEND AND ICON.
This is a 2003 interview, so it predates TH-cam just FYI.

This interview was in 2003 which would have made Bowie 56 years old. Some people have all the luck with the gene pool thing.
@@Ladycraft-lk5tk as much as I lov Bowie, his looks are helped with his millions mate
@@maximyles silly me and there I thought good diet and exercise would have been the major factors in addition to good genes.
I love listening to Bowie talking
Saw him in the 70's .. Aladin Sane tour
He's intoxicating. Miss his vibe. ❤️

He still has a devoted follower - his spirit & aura is justified in all dimensions. His humor & sarcasm was just part of his charm 😏❤️
Miss him so much.
Still not *over him being gone. 😢
I am crying right now just watching him and missing him so..😢😭😻
Nor I. David Bowie is the Jupiter in my solar system.
David and Jonathan had a good rapport and genuinely liked each other......Bowie wont ever be forgotten

True lmao
Every interview with the genius David Bowie is priceless for me, he was and remains my favorite musician..star. thank you for this🫴❤️
They'll never be another David Bowie .
What a wonderful genius. I miss him terribly.
So glad I got to see him LIVE with Nine Inch Nails. Such an amazing stage performer. Every song sung had such energy. Sadly missed even now.

Yes me too.
Bowie beautiful. Brave , intelligent, etc etc etc the man's a god in 40years I can't find a word that.is good enuf.for this man
a real legend... like elvis, or michael jackson, freddie mercury or the beatles, A TRUE legend of music.

Lovely to see again
Era un GRANDE DAVID BOWIE !!!!!! R.I.P. STARMAN !!!!!! WE NEVER FORGET YOU !!!!!!
Man....even for a kids movie..the effort he put into it was unbelievable 👏 5 songs were all amazing
God bless you David we miss you
David Bowie was an epic personality and yet he was always humble 🤟👍❤️😎🙏
David, I like you so much. We miss you. Please come back !!!
Good you uploaded the interview again what about the other one
The major musical force throughout my life,and he's from my old manor in South London,Brixton.
RIP Starman.
WHAT a band they have up there now,i'd pay a fortune to see them just jamming.
Lazarus returned from the dead, and that’s what I’m holding onto.
drugs, bisexual, likes cats
This is me
... and?
An Icon that's inspired nearly every musician we listen to today, Nobody will ever be on the same level as David Bowie, Surely missed and loved always
Bowie is extra special and incredibly talented. Miss him but I keep his memory alive through listening to his music!!! Major Tom to Ground Control.......🎤🎹🎵
I miss you. 😢😞
I'm now 53 years of age and without david
Okayyyyy ...
Johnathan should be overwhelmed he had chance do this interview 😮
An absolute legend.
I loved this man when I was just a wee lass ♥️ i remember saving up to buy laughing gnome !!!
The nicest chap in the world
David Bowie asking his audience to tell him when his tour dates are is such a fun look at the gears of the machine, dude was meta as fuck even when he wasn't trying to be
great to see him back
He was such style icon, too.
David Bowie calling his fans "nuts" is my new favourite thing ever.
shame that he got his teeth fixed. I always tought his teeth were great.
My thoughts as well. It was part of his unique personality.
Aye, they had character.
Yeah I liked them
He aged to be very handsome, he wasn’t so much so as a young lad
Yeah, the new ones are straight out of a catalogue.
David Bowie is truly “ The Voice!”
You couldn’t get away with that comment about Liverpudlians in 2020. Strange how that’s the main thing I took from this interview.
