David Bowie - Rock 'n' Roll Star! - Ken Scott on the journey to Ziggy Stardust

[@lemonlime8949]

Bowie is still on top of the world, years after his death ❤

[@robertpryde6453]

“Look at me, I’m in Heaven.”

[@yvonnemulder9038]

Always

[@nerdsoftheherd69]

He’s not dead he’s a starman waiting in the sky, he’d like to come and meet us but he already blew our minds 🪐✨🌎

[@jaysonwilliams371]

Amen❤❤❤

[@dkno5941]

Ziggy Stardust is a work of art in storytelling. Each song is so connected and descriptive that you can see and feel the tale unfold while listening. It's my favorite album of all time. ❤

[@marianne1555]

'Ziggy Stardust' was a revelation and THE album which made me becoming a David Bowie's fan. I still miss Him 💔. R.I.P. David

[@raynabozny2338]

I always listen to Ziggy all the way both sides and have since 1974 when I first heard it

[@Johnnywhamo]

I'm with you there, I found my sister's copy in around 76 when I was 12. Bowie became my absolute life long bar none Idol. I listen to something from him without exaggeration pretty much daily. Oh and I still have that very Rise and Fall album I snagged from my sister. It's one of my prize possessions. It is as well my # 1 desert island album. I have listened to that album literally A 1000 times and like yourself I listen to it from from to back.

Moonage Daydream was the masterpiece in my humble opinion. ❤

[@MA_808]

Thanks, Mick Ronson

[@joycampi7233]

LOVE Moonage Daydream ❤

And Ken Scott is one of the best engineers David Bowie could ask for. George Harrison knew this.

[@rodoza66]

Seeing Spiders from Mars those two nights at The Santa Monica Civic, October 1972, changed my life forever! "came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan"... ❤‍🔥

The Ziggy Stardust album never sounds old - it always sounds like it's 50 years into the future. Bowie was a time traveler.

[@matgatti]

All three Ken Scott-produced records from the 1970s are insanely good. Let’s not forget Station to Station, my personal favorite

[@davidcopson5800]

Love the photograph at 0:30. Ziggy, for me, is the best album of all time.

[@KelleneHubbard]

❤😢I was So Lucky to Meet David and Iman Jones 😌, when I lived in New York City. They invited me to Dinner which I gladly accepted. Then David gave me a call to see if I would like to see him and his Band 😄😁. Course I Said Yes 💯 and I had the Best Time with Them. What A Lady and What a Gentleman!!! Thank You for asking me to be your Friend!! Miss you David Jones and I know you are checking on Iman and Alex and Duncan Jones. They Will Always Miss You and So Does The World 🌍💯. Bless you and Your Family. Kellene Erin Hubbard Harrison from San Francisco California but Lived in New York City 🌆🏙️

[@PartTimeBuddhist]

Ken Scott is one of those names that would make most people go "Who?," but then you look up his credits and realize, damn, this mild-mannered English gentlemen might have had a hand in making more classic albums than Al Kooper, Todd Rundgren, and Brian Eno combined.

[@rodoza66]

To music nerds he's always been known. Back in the day, as they say, one would memorize all the details of a band that were listed on the album, or single, jacket.

What is the stand mount speaker next to Ken? Classic album, hardly aged.

[@NunoCosta-gn1ky]

Im a metalhead but for me Pink Floyd David Bowie and Kate Bush are just genius

[@jennychilton8524]

Has anyone heard anything about the Bowie avatar show that was being talked about in February 2022 (like the Abba one that's been going for about 4-5 years)?

[@jennychilton8524]

Nothing has ever come close to Bowie for me.

[@paulohara1502]

[@realLow-Key]

And all these idiots today who think theyre original with all this reinventions bs, have no idea its already been done. And done better, by your betters. Dude was a trailblazer.

[@autumnpariss]

I agree, a lot of newer artists think they've created new things when in reality, it's been done YEARS ago!

[@maytecm889]

Siempre será el mejor, aunque pasen los años !!!

[@Wishful-Thinking]

There’s always something new to discover, the trick is finding out what it is?Bowie was a trail blazer but he didn’t do everything, that’s absurd. Having said that were he still alive and could have stayed in his prime years forever then I’m pretty sure he would have had a go and would still be discovering new music directions today. In the meantime here’s to the next David Bowie in the future because there will be one waiting in the wings that’s for sure. I might not be alive to see it though? ☹️

[@realLow-Key]

@@Wishful-Thinking Did I say "he did everything"?? No. Dont strawman.

[@Wishful-Thinking]

@@realLow-Key Did anyone who reinvents themselves today say they were the first to do so, are totally unaware of Bowie , are totally original, or better than Bowie? You say It’s been done better by their betters by which I assume you mean Bowie but by whose yard stick? Yours! I think fans of whoever past or future will give you a different opinion on that judging by their own yard stick and not yours. What gives you the right to call them idiots🙄I also re affirm everything HASN’T been done so stop being a Bowie snob and putting a downer on artists who try past and future. Doing that doesn’t help us find the next David Bowie of which there surely will be one.

RIP ! David Bowie

[@MrDallman]

There will never be another…..How could there be ?

New box set coming...

[@harryhoesch3793]

Ziggy with Mick Ronson ruled. IMO: Bowie actually caved in to commercialism after Diamond Dogs.

[@nickhowarth4395]

He was actually less commercial after Diamond Dogs. Station To Station and the Berlin Trilogy - Low, Heroes, Lodger - were some of the least commercial records ever released by a major artist. He caved into commercialism for Let's Dance and he rest of the 80s.

[@jesuslopez1682]

@@nickhowarth4395 In fact, I consider Pin Ups and Diamond Dogs to be very commercial albums, he knew that worked well.

[@davidcopson5800]

@@nickhowarth4395 In the 90s someone took him outside and said, "Look, you earthling, you've got just a few hours to get your act together."

[@JDLuty-oc5hk]

"Don't remember if it was Iggy Pop or The Velvet Underground". Considering David said Suffragette City was his tribute to Lou Reed, it was probably The Velvet Underground

[@alexcampbell3032]

On the Hunky Dory liner notes, Bowie says "Some VU returned with thanks" regarding Queen Bitch. So I'm surprised to hear Ken say he'd never heard of them.

[@HymnfortheDudes]

@@alexcampbell3032 VU were very low key, even in New York. It was the likes of Bowie who brought them to the wider public, so it's no wonder Ken hadn't heard of them. Ken was more interested in home grown bands🙂

[@PontiacS.]

"Ziggy" exists because of Mick Ronson. That Fact was ignored by Bowie. A real Sin.

[@Watcher4111]

Ronson played guitar, but ziggy wrote music and chords. So no, 😊ziggy wouldve been without mick

[@crismasedadocampo]

Lo dudas ?

[@MA_808]

Mick was the great inspiration for Bowie's entire act which was why he had to go. All singers are egocentric.

[@davidcopson5800]

I think you're off-beam with that comment. It would apply more to Ferry and Eno than Bowie and Ronson.
