David Bowie Outside Press Conference 1995

2 different camera positions

[@MarcLowe]

"Outside" is his masterpiece, especially when taken in context along with the "Leon" sessions (to-date unreleased). It's a "crime" that it isn't more recognized. At the end of his life, David apparently expressed to Tony Visconti that he wanted to return to the Outside story and complete the trilogy he was unable to do in the '90s. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the cards for him (or us), but the LP and its unofficial companion "Leon" remain and inspire (at least, they have been inspiring THIS artist for years and years)...

[@matthewwatson3308]

I agree that 'Outside' is one of his best. A unique sound and unlike anything around at the time

[@richardd9938]

Imagine also if Bowie had lived, and had made the album about viruses from the planned Outside Trilogy, released let's say in 2019 or early 2020, and then the COVID Pandemic hits! Always ahead of his time❤

[@MarcLowe]

@@richardd9938 Well, he did record the “Omikron” (sic) soundtrack in ‘99! Yes, he was planning that, wasn’t he, and then “3. Afrikaans”… The themes would likely have changed had he done a sequel at the end of his life I believe, though.

[@dwestwood4]

He was such an intelligent, interesting, charming guy. So refined - just wish he was still here! RIP David x

[@duncanwcraig9668]

when David passed in 2016 I went looking for albums i'd missed. still listening to Outside. Intriguing album.

[@dariusp.9814]

Finally someone said it !;) A very intriguing album.

[@Watcher4111]

I bought Outside on cassette in 1999. And I still listen to it now

[@thatscousedude]

Its the 90s Diamond Dogs. Brilliant album - lots of unreleased stuff from that period.

[@fang_uk]

It’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that one of my oldest and dearest friends, Ron Athey unintentionally served as a major catalyst for Bowie creating this project. Wild. Sad we never got the trilogy, I know David was still talking to Eno about that even towards the end of his life.

[@rain_down_]

Had never seen this before. Fascinating, and Bowie as always seems so personable and polite, yet completely on top of every subject he has to talk about too.

[@privaternutzer7595]

sometimes I just listen to his voice and look at his face without noticing what he is saying ... he was very intelligent and so nice and polite to everybody...

I just discovered a video on here where David is playing The voyeur of utter destruction on stage wearing this same shirt. It must've been the show after this press conference.

Don't eff w this man. He will intellectually eat you for lunch

[@Kermit-d-b]

Saw him at main road manchester 1990 didnt want to miss the last time he played his "old songs" happily he brought them back but that's what made Bowie the legand fearless ,always felt like his only fan which is weird considering but didn't know other Bowie fans and dont think this was unique must be others and it felt good like you were in on something that they knew little of (untill their idols,Noel Gallagher etc stated how good he was upon his death) will always miss the man i never met but felt i knew

[@Auntkekebaby]

Excellent interview

[@Zowie39]

Oooh David...Im not sure the audience asking questions and listening to your answers seemed a bit stoic response..LAUGH peeps! Since there is no camera pointing towards them I cant tell if they were struck by your way of 'hybrid thinking' thus causing silence? Maybe they were pondering of 'Wow! Different angle of random logic..I got to right that down'! Haha! Meanwhile he moves on! Bravo David! Soo lovely to hear you again! Thank you for this interview and posting it!! I always wanted to know about the inner workings of Outside!! Also bonus on his Black Tie White Noise!🤗🖤🌠

[@pattycassiani1352]

Intelligente ironico carismatico....questo è Mr. David Bowie.....the one and only....

[@freewilliam93]

I really loved this album, it was too long, but eh. He should of done a 2 disc and actually finished the story ..

[@Picnicl]

The bits of interruption sound like the ending of Loving the Alien.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

Maybe it's just me but despite being a worldwide popular super star, he lacks of ego and pretentiousness makes me like him more. He seems very humble and down to earth. Or maybe he's just acting as the cameras on. Idk. Because I am newly interested in him even though i have heard of his name million times from my favorite musicians or my friends. That was just my observation.

[@helenvertannes691]

No it's well documented he was very humble, down to earth and gracious. I heard some fabulous stories about him from his official photographer right from the ziggy days. Sorry I can't remember the name (had strokes which have messed memory up, but if you Google I'm sure you'll find it

[@angiedorman9244]

I wanna reach out and try to touch him to see if he's real. Nobody acts human so I just wanted to know. He's obviously not the epitome of the Nickelback song Rockstar. Lol. He's human and too good to be true.

David Robert Jones (Londres, 8 de enero de 1947-Nueva York, 10 de enero de 2016),[6]​[7]​ más conocido por su nombre artístico David Bowie (AFI: [ˈboʊ.iː]),[8]​ fue un músico y compositor británico de rock, quien ejerció a su vez como actor, productor discográfico, arreglista y diseñador gráfico. Figura importante de la música popular durante casi cinco décadas, Bowie es considerado un innovador, en particular por sus trabajos de la década de 1970 y por su peculiar voz, además de la profundidad intelectual de su obra.[9]​[10]

zowie it’s my happy place too, wonder if I will see you in the comments again, if I do I’ll say hi again lol xxx❤️😂

[@andalltheangelssay212]

zowie he did so amazing interviews and he would give back exactly what the interviewer gave him. If they were down to Earth you’d get a down to Earth David, if they asked intelligent questions you would get intelligent and philosophical answers, sometimes his humour would shine through, others he would be hilariously funny, but in the early days if they asked stupid or rude questions they’d get the Bowie stare while he was deciding whether to bring the shutters down, get defensive or go completely random on them . As he matured and grew more comfortable in his own skin he would answer the stupider questions with humour and lightheartedness, although you’d sometimes see the annoyance in his eyes. Here is one of my favourite interviews kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ-vmKSbe92ejZI I relate to it so much as I grew up in England in the 60s and 70s and he is so funny and down to earth in it, and he also tells a really interesting story of how he came to write Life on Mars , the single came out when I was 10.

[@andalltheangelssay212]

zowie hi Zowie, it’s me lol 😂I’ve just seen this amazing David Bowie in conversation interview you might like to see. Before you watch it it might be worth doing a quick google search on who the interviewer Thomas Vinterberg is and click on dogme95movement to understand what they’re talking about at the beginning kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6qlZaJpLmprM0 otherwise , like me, you may feel like when you watch the film the sixth sense and then it’s not until you watch it the second time you think whoa, now it becomes clear lol.

They butchered this album which is the studio's fault. The song order of the released album is bizarre to me and I don't know whose fault, if it is one, that is but, to me, A Small Plot Of Land does not belong towards the start of the album. In a way, this press conference, with its businessy formality by the studio at that start, is part of the whole surreal nature of 1. Outside.

[@artvandelay2265]

we probably are not related, but well said

[@user-li3fr8jl3b]

How can it be the studios fault when Bowie and Eno produced the album?

[@taddallman-morton6796]

Record companies tend to dictate all sorts of things, including track order. However, David was clear he intended a non-chronological order for 1. Outside.
