Hiro Protagonist Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Yes, quite shocked with the news. Have been listening to Bowie for the last few months. He obviously didn't want the world to know he was fighting Cancer. Just like Freddie Mercury with his disease. RIP Bowie (Ninja'd by Meshugger with the video with Freddie Mercury.} Edited January 11, 2016 by Hiro Protagonist 1
Leferd Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 Dammit. He was original. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Rosbjerg Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Just learned as well, what a shock. In the middle of a comeback too. Hope he's partying on with Freddie now. 1 Fortune favors the bald.
Ganrich Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 2 days after Blackstar released. I haven't had the chance to buy it. I'm going to try and get it in the next day or so. 1
Leferd Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 This is something powerful. Vocals only. 5 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
ShadySands Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 My favorite song of his Free games updated 3/4/21
Guard Dog Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Just heard it on the radio. Sad news indeed. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
JadedWolf Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Terrible news. Didn't even know he was ill. And if we're picking things from his oeuvre, this one shouldn't be left unmentioned: 1 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
Lexx Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Blackstar arrived two days ago, but I didn't had a chance to listen to it for real yet. Damn, this sucks, but explains why he didn't want to do any shows anymore. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Gorth Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 He made some good late 80's rock too when part of Tin Machine... RIP David Bowie http://youtu.be/ivRtxulMics and a decent live performer too (not the best example, better videos out there)... http://youtu.be/KGRIwlxLgc0 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

WDeranged Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I'd had Bowie on the brain for the past week so this is quite a shock, sad news
Amentep Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 RIP. Really sad news. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Hurlshort Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 This was a huge shock. I'm not even sure how to go about my day, now.
Gorgon Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Man, I listened to his new album recently and now I realise it's only 4 tracks because he didn't finish. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorgon Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 7 tracks, and some very long ones still. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorgon Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Youtube are getting busy with the DMCA takedowns I see. Feels a bit like crows circiling a corpse but that's the music biz for ya. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
WDeranged Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Just reading the Daily Mail for my dose of xenophobia and paranoia, there's a two page muck raking article about Bowie's sex life, cringe worthy timing. "Wowie, Bowie. Dear old Angie has been quiet for years, but her painfully discreet ex-husband can expect some big ch-ch-changes to his peace of mind henceforth." Edited January 11, 2016 by WDeranged
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 First thing I heard about when I woke up this morning. Not sure how to feel, kind of a numb shock with him and Lemmy going so close. "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
Malcador Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Was fairly ambivalent to his music, shame he didn't win that fight though. 69 is too young to die. Interesting to observe the strong reaction from people, though. Edited January 11, 2016 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
kirottu Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 69 is the best age to die, but I'm still sad to see him go. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
