Bowie was just one of those rare people who could quite literally talk about the most mundane, pointless things imaginable and yet be so captivating, so bloody interesting and fascinating, not just because of THAT voice, but his way with words, his diligence and ideas, just make him one of those rare icons. What I love is how freely and effortlessly he talks about his past, these extraordinary events and moments that the most avid fan would pay dearly to hear about, like they were nothing. Then you remember, this was his whole life, just something he went through day by day, he laughs and chuckles about it while we are left jaws gaping, desperately wanting more and he just flows with it. Such a joyous man to listen to, so sad when he passed.
That's so true. Even if he had read the most boring book in this world, it would have been breathtaking and almost everyone would have listened to him. It's an incredible loss. I miss him.....still in 2019. 😞😟😢😭
Arytonblue You explained all that just perfect 👌🏼.. He was outstanding in every way .. Very interesting guy Never forgetting so funny also lol .. Really really missed today 😔🎷🎸☮️
Nice one liner David, but: Absolute Beginners (What a tune) Teenage Wildlife Fashion Ashes to Ashes China Girl Modern Love Never Let Me Down Day-In Day-Out Cat People As the World Falls Down Underground Let's Dance Loving the Alien I could go on.
@@outsidethepyramid I think he meant more of the 1983-1988 period. The songwriting on Tonight was kind of (MEH), and Never Let Me Down's production was godawful. There were great songs written on that LP but it was barred down by production. Thankfully the 2018 re-recording did it justice.
The thing about being pinned down is brilliant. One can see Bowie's usual habit of becoming too self-aware of what he's saying and then disarming it with humor and self-deprecation. Excellent interview, grateful to see it in full.
His hair styled him. It's called genetics. Most men, not all, mind you, but most- have suffered massive damage to their follicles after puberty or certainly by their early 20's so that "styling" one's hair is no longer an option
+mano Fiske That's not true in Bowie's case. Bowie had great hair and a longtime hairdresser. That's how he met his wife Iman. She had the same hairdresser. He (the hairdresser) thought they would make the perfect couple, and invited them both to his birthday dinner in 1990. The rest, as they say, is history. By the way, Bowie is famous for his ever changing hair styles and hair color, thanks to his stylist. He even styled the couples' hair for Bowie and Iman's 1992 wedding in Italy.
WHY THE FUCK AM I CRYING? Everything he says is so damn interesting, the things he says are pretty much what I would say. We share the same viewpoints, and he's such a beautiful human being. A great role model.
Oh my god I love him. Sometimes I play interviews of David Bowie just to hear his voice, not really comprehending what he said. He'll never be forgotten.
Life is fluid. and David Bowie understood this ..in his work ..his full body of work, in everything he did. such an inspiration ,true and real..so hard to find these days...rest in peace David Robert Jones..you will be sorely missed.
He was one of those people you thought would always be there. I loved Bowie's earlier stuff, absolutely hated Diamond Dogs, but you knew that the next album would be completely different again and that you could plug back in. With Bowie, there was something for everybody and his massive influence on music over half a century can never be forgotten.
This was a great video. In most interviews, Bowie was so irritated with being asked the same dumb questions over and over about bisexuality and what he was trying to do with Ziggy Stardust that he just shut those topics down completely. Here he really had a go at explaining those things in his own words, without the interviewer interrupting him much, and it was just fascinating. "Aesthetically promiscuous," I love it! What a mind this man had...
If Bowie is on a screen, my eyes just will not move anywhere else, he is charming, engaging, mesmerising, funny and exceptionally good looking, and that's before he starts playing his wonderful music Forty eight years of adoration, still going strong 🤓🇬🇧
+kate davenporty Gorgeous speaking voice, beautiful laugh too; totally agree! It always stands out to me how well-read he was, therefore so articulate. Love the way he talks using such precise words to describe things. Amazing quick wit and dynamite sense of humor, too...and such good stories...
Oh yes, kate davenporty Dinner, lunch, breakfast, going out partying, ETC...marvelous conversationalist and very interesting and learned person, period... LOVE his sense of humor. Did you see the Gary Oldman tribute? He said that David said the bad news was the cancer; the good news was that he had his cheekbones back, lol. Even then, a sense of humor...
+Laurie Thompson INDEED Laurie,what a blast it would have been to know him.Yes,i did see that tribute by Gary Oldman (another British bloke i admire) and had to agree about his amazing sense of humour.There will never be another like him :)
Endlessly gracious and funny and articulate and so interesting to listen to. I do hope that all his interviews are collected for the benefit of future generations.
Jeez, I can identify so much with everything he talks about. Those emotions and views are what made him the only relatable real person to me in the first place.
David Bowie is such a complex person, so much more than what people thought he was. I always adored and respected the way he speaks of himself as an amalgamation of every person, song, religion and country he has ever encountered. He has never been one person, he has always been seven personalities at the same time, constantly moving from one focus to another
I'm glad MTV news are sharing these interviews. Amazing how they don't look or feel dated at all, and many of these are well over 20 years old now (dang, we're getting old). I guess that's a testament to the man himself really, how in every era, in everything that he was, in everything that he did, David Bowie was (and still is) timeless.
+ShadyPinesMa79 IT'S RAINING ALL OVER THE WORLD THESE DAYS. TEARS FROM HEAVEN. SO INTELLIGENT YET SMOKED CIGARETTES?? I WISH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN VEGAN. RIP BOWIE. th-cam.com/video/fzYbVHV2DaM/w-d-xo.html
The world needs a David Bowie. Expanding thought, music and art. Seeing what is a "fad" and bursting it's bubble in ways nobody could conceptualize. Jack Nicholson is the king cool of acting, David Bowie the king cool of music. Rest in peace knowing the art you created will live on.
"Nothing in this world is a real reality, it's not something you can hold on to... it's a chance to rethink" ... this guy was on a whole new level. Whatever drove Bowie is something to be forever inspired by.
I am absolutely in love with every single thing about this man here....every single thing about Bowie seems to have been created with the sole intent and purpose of making you fall in love with him
yes.always such a gentleman, always so polite even when pushed by lame interviewers, so humble, a regular type of guy that had a great sense of humour and obviously very intelligent, so miss him, thank goodness for u tube.
You're so right. I had the good fortune to meet him in 1987 and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was friendly, amusing, polite, charming and the most wonderful smile. He was so down to earth and treated you as an equal. I wish I could have spent more time with him, he was a real gentleman, they are few and far between these days. I do wish he hadn't done the drugs and smoking, though.
I enjoyed this interview... The leading questions were good and Bowie was very forthcoming. HOWEVER the interviewer lacked talent in following up on points Bowie made, he didn't flesh out the stories or dig more into what David said, and he dudnt keep the conversation going. He had a prepared set of questions and thats all he could say. When david would finish talking, there would be an almost awkward silence, instead of the interviewer continuing Davids train of thought...
Better to just shut up and let the other person speak if you don’t think you can add anything of value. Besides I like the fact that the more the interview just let Bowie talk the more we got. If anything the interviewer was fantastic and not making it about them or their ego
It was just a song that he wrote about how he felt about fame. No wonder he wrote it. They treated him like shit and he respected them thoroughly nomatter what. Even if he didn't answer the questions, he respected them. Even Jomathan Ross...that perv. I think he had the hots for Dave and Dave wasn't gonna have it. I think that Ross was just trying to bully him, but eww...nevertheless, Bowie could pick better if he was gonna go down that road.
This poor, sad interviewer. Trotting out the same, tired, old questions. To have access to Bowie's brilliance and not go down those blind alleys with him as he's opening those doors, opting to choose to tread down the same, worn high street instead, is such an incredible waste. Bowie: "I know so many painters who title their works after they've done them, which is a real giveaway." Me: "Why? What does that mean to you? That they don't know what they're doing as they do it but can only tell you after it's done? Same with you as you went through stages of your career?" Interviewer: "Um, yeah. So, your previous characters were very 'white,' and then you played R&B..." No wonder Bowie went into hiding. How unfathomably boring these discussions must have been for him.
I was devastated by the interviewer's follow up question to that. It was exciting to see his eyes and expressions as the thoughts zipped through his brain. I wanted to explore his thoughts to that end... Oh well..
You can also see from his reaction, his expression after that how alienated he felt, at least in this interview. It's a common occurrence for myself when talking to people, they just don't get what I'm talking about, very few do.
Deirdre inDC Absolute TRUE!! besides he (interrviwer) was interrupting him to make his dumb questions!!! If David Bowie was interviewed by John Lennon and viceversa.. Than would BE a fckng GOOD interview!! of 2 ppl that understand eachother... at least 2 musicians or 2 artist and I would say that name. the painting after finish is what Bowie did many times. you don't control the creative process, you let the creative process take control of you... that's how i understand what he said
This is a good interview, but I think the best one of all by far is Bowie in the Studio and ZDTV interview of 1999, which you can also find on youtube. It is absolutely amazing -- his humor, charm, wit and intellect come through like I've never seen anyplace else. Plus the last 10 minutes show the process of how he records a song in a studio, which is fascinating.
It is absurd that a lot of criticism leveled against Bowie back in the day was that he was supposedly "inauthentic/ not a real rock and roller", when in fact he was one of the most genuine, sharing and honest artists.
“Aesthetically promiscuous” is innate Neuroplasticity. “Things outside,” what’s on the outside?” The definition of never getting stuck in a rut. So brilliant. Kabuki, drag, the drag/priesthood history. To drag in every piece of information and put it into it. Process over meaning. Titled works after completion is a real giveaway. The idea of being trapped or pinned down as a writer. He was an authentic Deleuzian!
I think I've fallen in love with this man. He's just so fascinating to listen to. He always had something worthwhile to listen to. He wasn't afraid to share what he thought and felt. There really is so much to learn from him!
It’s enjoyable for me to see him and listen to his stories every time 😄😊! Specially when you feel he is enjoying And see things sometimes clearer than others with depth , and great sense of humor and he is reachable for ppl over all that he is hot! And have the best hair cut ever Rest on mars 💫
Just read one of David's favourite books,"The divided self", by R.D Laing. Really can see why he liked it. It's all there, people creating masks, false self, a fear of one's identity being trapped , and alienation. Well worth a read.
Vou postar em português mesmo, já que sou do Brasil. O arquivo que a MTV tem precisa ser compartilhado. Portanto, vocês acharam a ferramenta correta para divulgar esse incrível acervo. E eu sempre serei um assíduo visitante desse material. Saudações brasileiras e obrigado por postar esse vídeos incríveis de David Bowie.
To listen to him talk , floating like a butterfly , It's the best way to start the day ,after his passing. Off to work I go , with a massive smile on my face .In the car , I think I listen to Pin ups on the way
I'm late to the Bowie party having only come through my recent interest in Freddie Mercury and queen although I was born in the 50s and around for all this music. he's fascinating stuff, that's for sure, and this is a really interesting interview of him! Clever, funny, handsome, you name it!
He was a trailblazer for many worlds .His early ventures into bisexuality . Must of helped so much for many people. Bringing it into mainstream media and helping people to know who they are . Also helping families and friends of LGBTQ+ people. Was lucky to see him live in the nineties.
That man was the very essence of what a genuine artist is and ought to be. And that is why, at least as far as I'm concerned, he still can amaze me and surprise me even when he has been dead for the last 4 years!
This is a great interview. You can tell for one thing, his long pauses after the questions indicates how he wanted to deliver a genuine answer, and not just some glib response. I especially loved his answer regarding the "corporate rock" that grew out of the mid-70's, and basically flooded the airwaves with mediocre, safe soft rock.
Great clip in so many ways; could listen to David talk, laugh, and tell the amazing and amusing stories all day. Loved him since I was a little teeny bopper; only got to see him here live once...but there is so much more content to read and watch since he so sadly left us. Wonder what he would make of it all...
Bowie was just one of those rare people who could quite literally talk about the most mundane, pointless things imaginable and yet be so captivating, so bloody interesting and fascinating, not just because of THAT voice, but his way with words, his diligence and ideas, just make him one of those rare icons.

"In the 80's, i felt so out of tune... and out of tunes.." ahahah Genius. RIP David Bowie.
Nice one liner David, but:

Fashion
Ashes to Ashes

Modern Love
Never Let Me Down
Day-In Day-Out
Cat People
As the World Falls Down
Underground

In addition to all his other gifts, Bowie had amazing hair!
In one if the interviews he said that somebody told him "you still got a funny haircut". Lol
The interviewer is so fortunate to have Bowie in such a reminiscing & thorough mood. He was always a gentleman, but not always this sentimental.
WHY THE FUCK AM I CRYING? Everything he says is so damn interesting, the things he says are pretty much what I would say. We share the same viewpoints, and he's such a beautiful human being. A great role model.

So down to earth and funny as heck. A real treasure of a man.

Yeah, doing his Brando The Wild One impersonation
I think a smile and one word from bowie - would've made anyone feel so important, he has the most genuine way about him, I'm in awe.
You're so right. I had the good fortune to meet him in 1987 and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was friendly, amusing, polite, charming and the most wonderful smile.

The song fame makes much more sense after his explanation.
It was just a song that he wrote about how he felt about fame. No wonder he wrote it. They treated him like shit and he respected them thoroughly nomatter what. Even if he didn't answer the questions, he respected them. Even Jomathan Ross...that perv. I think he had the hots for Dave and Dave wasn't gonna have it. I think that Ross was just trying to bully him, but eww...nevertheless, Bowie could pick better if he was gonna go down that road.
Something I always appreciate about Bowie is his ability to salvage a mundane question and answer in a way they should have asked.
Beautiful man
Hardly any interaction with bowie apart from questions :-/ luckily David's answers are fucking awesome.

Absolute TRUE!! besides he (interrviwer) was interrupting him to make his dumb questions!!!
If David Bowie was interviewed by John Lennon and viceversa.. Than would BE a fckng GOOD interview!! of 2 ppl that understand eachother... at least 2 musicians or 2 artist
and I would say that name. the painting after finish is what Bowie did many times.
you don't control the creative process, you let the creative process take control of you...
that's how i understand what he said
That's because the person interviewing him is none other than MTV's Kurt Loder! Talk about a boring guy!
Handsome intelligent man sorely missed.
David Bowie Will Live On
He is my favorite artist, (not just of music ,I also mean an artist of mind/existence) but hard not to see he had like the coolest hair ever
David made the English look really, really good.
I’ve lived in both London and the states and generally they are good. In comparison to here lol.
Excellent footage has been going up this past week, much appreciated, keep it up, more please!.....thank you
I could listen to him for hours
This was when MTV was actually about music. Great interview!
this made me so happy.
My niece was born in March of 2018 and I already put David Bowie for her to listen.

He was so well spoken, and genuine. You can tell he enjoyed just having the conversation. The Moroder story is gold, too.
He's 'not a prophet or a stoneage man, just a mortal with potential of a superman' 🌟🌟
he is so divine his soul shines
Somebody up there likes You Warren
I love his honesty and brilliance.
he was so intelligent and beautiful
What a delicious morsel of a man. Love the way he kept it real.
Many of his interviews across youtube are mostly about his beginnings...yet there`s so much to be asked and answered about the era that followed.
This is the best interview I've seen. He's so calm and everything.
So beautiful he is/was
Bowie is the one and only. You and I can never ever be like him. But we can struggle and try to be as good always.. and that’s a start.
It is absurd that a lot of criticism leveled against Bowie back in the day was that he was supposedly "inauthentic/ not a real rock and roller", when in fact he was one of the most genuine, sharing and honest artists.

👍
There should be a Bowie appreciation Group to discuss his appeal
He's beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful man! ♥️
Loved his description of John Lennon
"Spiteful sense of humour" brilliantly put and a hard concept to grasp, but perfectly suited.
Man, that laugh when he’s starting to tell the Brian Eno story!
It’s enjoyable for me to see him and listen to his stories every time 😄😊!
Specially when you feel he is enjoying
And see things sometimes clearer than others with depth , and great sense of humor and he is reachable for ppl
over all that he is hot! And have the best hair cut ever
Rest on mars 💫
His laugh 😍
Just read one of David's favourite books,"The divided self", by R.D Laing. Really can see why he liked it. It's all there, people creating masks, false self, a fear of one's identity being trapped , and alienation. Well worth a read.
Good human, he rose, he grew..always brilliant
...so very inspirational...
I like that the interviewer lets him ride. Gave him the floor and let him go where he wanted to do.
He did well but never acknowledged or asked him to embellish on his replies, just moved on to the next question
RIP David Bowie beautiful heart and soul.
I love this interview it's like he's sat in my house
his voice is so fucking great
"Aesthetically promiscuous" - Bowie at his finest and most honest.
What a brillient interview what a brillient amazing man...hes living on!
One of his best interviews.
Vou postar em português mesmo, já que sou do Brasil. O arquivo que a MTV tem precisa ser compartilhado. Portanto, vocês acharam a ferramenta correta para divulgar esse incrível acervo. E eu sempre serei um assíduo visitante desse material.
Saudações brasileiras e obrigado por postar esse vídeos incríveis de David Bowie.
RIP Beautiful man !
people who are well read are well understood. fabulous interview
To listen to him talk , floating like a butterfly , It's the best way to start the day ,after his passing.
Off to work I go , with a massive smile on my face .In the car , I think I listen to Pin ups on the way
One of my favorite interviews!
I'm late to the Bowie party having only come through my recent interest in Freddie Mercury and queen although I was born in the 50s and around for all this music. he's fascinating stuff, that's for sure, and this is a really interesting interview of him! Clever, funny, handsome, you name it!
He was a trailblazer for many worlds .His early ventures into bisexuality . Must of helped so much for many people. Bringing it into mainstream media and helping people to know who they are . Also helping families and friends of LGBTQ+ people. Was lucky to see him live in the nineties.
That man was the very essence of what a genuine artist is and ought to be. And that is why, at least as far as I'm concerned, he still can amaze me and surprise me even when he has been dead for the last 4 years!
awesome interview - he was so curious always searching and so beautiful and shared so much.....i could go on and on - luv!
This is a great interview. You can tell for one thing, his long pauses after the questions indicates how he wanted to deliver a genuine answer, and not just some glib response.
I especially loved his answer regarding the "corporate rock" that grew out of the mid-70's, and basically flooded the airwaves with mediocre, safe soft rock.
He was so far above & beyond that interviewer that it's almost embarrassing. He was an evolutionary marvel
David had the BEST hair...no matter what style he wore. RIP...Mr Jones
So cool.....and those eyes are just so utterly beguiling.
Just, MESMERISING, RIP 🙏 David BOWIE. Gone but never, FORGOTTEN ❤.
He is always so open and truthful. What a great loss.
What an amazing human being he was. So brilliant and his mind just working at warp speed - with a soul along with it
I want that shirt
I want what's inside that shirt to Fall to Earth again!
@Spam Oh Spam, I love that comment SO much 🇬🇧💕
Great clip in so many ways; could listen to David talk, laugh, and tell the amazing and amusing stories all day. Loved him since I was a little teeny bopper; only got to see him here live once...but there is so much more content to read and watch since he so sadly left us. Wonder what he would make of it all...
I just keep coming back to this interview, year after year.
