About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

Steve Tyler does a pretty good harmonica too

Who’s “Bob Dylan”? lol

[@johncoyne9412]

Who mentions Steven Tyler in the same breath as Bowie?

[@gregbors8364]

@@johncoyne9412 The OP’s phrasing makes it seem like he thinks Bowie was the only rock artist who ever played harmonica onstage, when in fact the “mouth harp” has been used by many rock performers dating back to the 1950’s

My friend and I were at his Cleveland, Ohio (US) concert on Feb. 28, 1976. We were in the 4th row using binoculars (if you can believe it) and all at once he stared very intensely at both of us. We jumped back in our seats, it was that mesmerizing. Probably thought we were nuts with the binocs! It was an eerie experience!

Mick Ronson plays the notes of ripped feed back from those Les Paul extra windings ,here them hum. Fuckin excellent showmanship Nothing like this since, it’s so raw and in your face it’s perfection in hitting those strings of the soul It’s a very deep core feeling when hearing these songs Carlos Alomar was another dude that could play with that particular sound but Ronson was the man. Underrated composer artist but not Forgotten.

"Cracked Actor" was on the monumental "Aladdin Sane" album....... and that album is one of his most esoteric!?!?!?!? "Jean Genie" was also on it, but really I cannot recall but a very few people who even knew the name or even existence of the Aladdin Sane album.

I had that album back in the day. He was amazing.

[@marcosruiz1709]

Aladdin Sane was the best-selling album in the UK in 1973, debuting at number 1 and remaining at number 1 for 5 weeks, more than 20 weeks in the top 5 (on the Melody Maker charts it was number 1 for 10 weeks). Where are you from?

[@LauraGonzalez-fq5pk]

Un dato interesante de la capa! Las letras son caracteres chinos que se utilizaban en Japón en tiempos antiguos si no existian palabras para describir cosas especificas. En el caso de esta capa fonéticamente los caracteres podrían deletrear David Bowie pero tambiél algo similar a "The man who fires provocative words." Un detalle fascinante que revela como Bowie no dejaba nada al azar, todo siempre tenía un significado.
