[@jmhaces]

The record is a concept album about an alien who comes to Earth and becomes a rockstar messiah figure, so the lyrics are mostly literal, though there's things like The Spiders From Mars, which is the name of his band and not a bunch of actual spiders from the planet Mars. The whole record is amazing.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

The three musicians, who were The Spiders, with Bowie, for about two years, live and album, were a great band. 🎸😎

[@ROSEBILL]

Thanks so much for reacting to this amazing song by David Bowie. This song is part of a concept album titled "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." Ziggy is an alien who comes to earth and becomes are rock star. The Spiders from Mars is the name of his band. This track deals details how Ziggy, like many rock stars develops a huge ego, which leads to his eventual downfall. The song is told from the viewpoint of one of his band members, hence the lyrics 'he became the special man/ then we were Ziggy's band.'; 'Making love to his ego/Ziggy sucked up into his mind.' and 'When the kids had killed the man/I had to break up the band.' The song is much easier to understand when listening to the entire album, but every track on it is excellent on its own. The reference to 'cat', is a slang term used years ago, mainly in music culture, to refer a man, just like the word 'dude' or 'bro' is used today. 'Screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo/ Like some cat from Japan' is thought to refer to the eye make up he would wear onstage which would make his eyes appear to be asian in appearance. Other great songs from this album are 'Five Years', 'Starman', 'Moonage Daydream', and Rock'n'Roll Suicide. Thanks again for doing more Bowie. Hope to hear more.

[@robertphelps1574]

Moonage Daydream is brilliant one of my favourites

[@sarablack2547]

great explaination.they will def get it now.

[@frankj10000]

Something that just came to my mind that I never thought about before: The "screwed up eyes" line could also be inspired by the fact that one of Bowie's own eyes was, in fact, screwed up.

[@ROSEBILL]

@@sarablack2547 Thank you so much!!

[@ROSEBILL]

@@frankj10000 You're correct; childhood injury, inflicted by a friend of his. Didn't think of that.

[@tonyfranchitto639]

Bowie was a gift from God , True talent . 100% .

[@raydemoll5542]

Bowie is a chameleon, both physically and artistically. He has many phases and changes with each album release.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Ziggy Stardust is a concept album. To really understand the character you should listen to the entire album.

[@glass2467]

Starman, Heroes, Changes, Life on Mars... his catalog of very unique and interesting songs is vast!

[@santiagocalderon3261]

Those four are a must

[@williamarmstrong7721]

You want two more different sounds from David Bowie try "Suffragette City" and "The Jean Genie"...

[@michaelz9892]

The whole album is a classic.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

David Bowie "Fame"🔥 Nuff Said.

[@donnaabbato508]

An absolutely musical genius! Loved him! 💖. I was very fortunate to have seen in concert!!! The Philadelphia Spectrum….late 70’s! Phenomenal concert!!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A more than generous gift from David Bowie to some of his musician friends,, Mott The Hoople "All The Young Dudes"

[@conachcraig]

Mucky Ronson the guitarist deserves more credit than he was given for co writing and producing much of "Bowie's" songs Try listening to "Moonage Daydream"

[@VIDSTORAGE]

He made a special sound on Bowie's recordings that was not replicated

[@vicprovost2561]

They should see the live concert movie of the Ziggy Stardust concert, Mick Ronson tour up the stage that night and Bowie's literally was of another world.

[@alansmith4748]

He didn`t co write any of the songs

[@shaneanigans440]

This whole album has inspired so many great artists to really just be themselves. Bowie was on a different planet than we were and his art was truly some of the best and most creative that I personally have ever heard.

[@philipmorgan6048]

Ah kiddies, you had to be there.

[@johnh5906]

Glad I was.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

David Bowie was frequently re-inventing himself,, So you never knew what direction he might come from next.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Bowie was an innovator. He led the way, never followed. He changed his sound many times in his career.

[@robinreiley1828]

I the early 90's I was fortunate to work a MTV gig with Bowie at Giant's Stadium. We had been building his stage for a week, and during the Production Load In( lights, sound, backline and scenery) before that night's show, Bowie recorded spots for the " I Want My MTV" advertising campaign in different languages. Although he was very busy, besides preparing for the show, he had dozens of interviews to do... But he took the time to shake each of our hands, learn our names , and make us feel part of the effort. He was a True British Gentleman! That night was the Very Last Time he performed the song "Ziggy Stardust". Growing up in the 60's and 70's ,being able to work with Bowie, in this minor way was quite special to me

[@glastonbury4304]

Starman and 5 years next...also changes, heroes, let's dance, suffragette city, the laughing gnome 😂

[@christophermoyns4412]

The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust is a classic album. Every song is great!

[@johnshipley8700]

You can experience the most emotional / passionate painful song on this album with his 5 years. He changed his persona many times over his career so don't get stuck on the 'Space' part. There is a full R&B era with the Thin White Duke, and on and on and on. Never try to tie Bowie down.

[@jonfazzone5125]

This is 70’s British Glam Rock Anthem along with Moonage Daydream , 9:31 along with Mott The Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes” which Bowie actual wrote and sang backing vocals on. When Bowie Toured on the Legendary Album “Ziggy Stardust” Mott the Hoople was the Opening Act.

[@eddie623]

My dad loved his music now best i can remember was it something like space oddity???

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

"The Spiders from Mars" was the name of the band playing with David Bowie

[@josephpowell3949]

He has so many big hits. you will find out! He was one of a kind!

[@stickman1742]

Worth mentioning that his band the Spiders from Mars were integral to the sound especially guitarist Mick Ronson. Bowie wrote the songs and sang, but the band members created their own parts to go along with it. Ronson is a guitar god and he brought Bowie's sound to a new level of fame. Bowie sounded a lot more like folk music before he worked with the Spiders. The hard rock sound which was very popular at the time, was from the Spiders.

[@eddie623]

What a way to start my Sunday with the music you two always bring to the table now if my Dallas cowboys win later today its gonna be a perfect Sunday👍

[@badbob6689]

David was probably the most successful glam rocker. He had many successful hit and also did some movies including one where his is an alien visiting earth.

[@robertembury6094]

"Small Jean Genie, snuck off to the city.Strung out on lasers and slash back, blazers.And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters.Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White New York's a go-go and everything tastes right.Poor little Greenie" Bowies lyrics are on another level !

[@ronrago2696]

In the movie “The Martian” with Matt Damon they play Starman at one point and it works so well it crazy!

[@jodythomas2724]

You need to check out more Bowie. Ziggy was a character he became so to speak.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Bowie kept changing his sound from LP to LP most of his career, and he was GREAT at it...He even recorded stuff that was so funky, he got invited to play on "Soul Train" around '75. I still have the "Zoggy" LP, it's a Rolling Stone top 500 GOAT pick, great songs on it.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Bowie got the inspiration for Ziggy from Vince Taylor, an early mid 1960s rock n roll star ,he was a fast burn out and too wild for that era and he crashed and lost his way ..

[@cosmocassidy420]

Bowies rabit hole goes really deep. He had about 30 hit songs spanning many decades. Glad your digging into is library.

[@bobbower2011]

When you discover Bowie, you'll be treated to a vast range of sounds and styles. Rock to soul, disco to modern. Amazing versatility. A true creative genius. Check out Sound & Vision, Diamond Dogs, Sorrow and Ashes To Ashes. Many more than these few are top shelf.

[@willfromyadkinville]

ICONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEMU is awesome! the quality is amazing!

[@rickwestic746]

Great reaction, to me,strange lyrics😊 but great music, suffragate city is good too

[@salmuscles]

Ziggy was from another planet and he was supposed to save earth but instead he wanted to be a rock star.. this whole album is a concept album ..

[@longago-igo]

I was sitting 6th row center at a medium size venue when he toured this album. Fantastic show!

[@matthewdrake4385]

Bowie would change alter egos and personas about as often as people change clothes. The thing is that Bowie didn't really have a set sound. As Ziggy, his siund was like this, but as the Thin White Duke, he would enbrace more of an r&b and soul sound. Young Americans, Fame, Fashion would be great examples of that part of his catalog. The man never stopped evolving until the end of his life.

[@jimdunagan4180]

love this song......one of the best

[@waynecox3958]

David Bowie passed away in 2016 the day before his final album was released. He recorded it 45 years after Ziggy, all the time knowing he was terminal. He used a NY jazz band to record his final rock epic. It is IMO his finest work. The album is titled BLACKSTAR.

[@bigbow62]

Ziggy was Bowies first "character".... Bowie is an artist of many faces sounds stretching over a number of decades, all w/lots of hit songs along the way, looking for an album- David Live ! ....or just single tunes, you can't go wrong with classic Bowie.... Starman Moonage Daydream Diamond Dogs Changes The Gean Genie Rebel Rebel Golden Years Fame

[@rick5440]

Upper tier riff, one of the most memorable.

[@tcspur1]

Mick Ronson

[@Gunderson105]

Bowie was a huge influence on Metallica. Kirk Hammett listened to this album a lot, and grabbed the line about the Leper Messiah and used it to title a Metallica song

[@maryelizabethreynoldsprice2135]

Bowie..The greatest of all time.

[@LClark-ry9to]

I saw David Bowie in a concert and he didn’t say a word! He was playing piano for Iggy Pop in San Diego.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

Always loved Mick Ronson’s guitar tone. The song Moonage Daydream on this album really showcases his tone.

[@hellsbells8689]

"I'd heard the name David Bowie but..." my mouth fell open at that point.

[@vicprovost2561]

That entire era when he had the Spiders From Mars as his backing band is golden, Mick Ronson is a total beast on guitar, try Moonage Daydream and see what I mean. It is a studio classic on Ziggy Stardust and is also amazing in the live video of that tour, check it out sometime for a Rocking Thrill! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@toneman501]

...one of my all time favourite albums...

[@Askemanden]

I love David Bowie, his discography is absolutely incredible and worth listening to. Some good songs for first time reaction if you haven’t heard them are: Starman Life on Mars? Fame Sound and Vision Any of these would mane a banger reaction video If you want to do album reactions do Hunky Dory or Ziggy first and work your way up

[@marykay19595]

David/Ziggy was so before his time brilliant I was fortunate to get to see David saying and concert I think three times and genius love him plus he plays at 12 shooting guitar as Ziggy and just gotta love that

[@psrandy1]

Bowie way ahead of all of us in '72

[@markgibson3034]

So I guess you should do ‘Life on Mars?’ next for David Bowie. Then ‘Starman’.

[@garygoodrich7495]

In the late 60's 70's music was deep in stream-of-consciousness and metaphorical writing. One line didn't necessarily have anything to do with the line before or what came after. It leaves it up to the individual listener to interpret how they hear it. I love it! Songwriting today is too literal and predictable = boring.

[@nickrizzi4927]

Will go to my grave regretting that Bowie never worked with Prince and Zevon and on a mind boggling and musically explosive experience. Only in my dreams to parrot Debbie Gibson. Thanks for a cool, honest reaction!

[@jgali38]

Great Reaction BARS & BARBELLS! Fun fact! In BlackPinks Boombayah Music Video Lisa steps off a bus does a little Rapverse one the lyrics goes I Don’t Want a Boy I Want a Man! And she’s wearing a Ziggy Stardust T-Shirt! Nobody has ever noticed that!🖤🌸🙏🏻

[@andywright3450]

Bowie was a truely one off genius ...

[@chiefsohcahtoa3285]

My favorite on this album is Suffragette City. It is an up tempo song.

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

my favourites are: - Jeaqn Genie - Time - Let's spend the night together - Cygnet Committee

[@MrDMF567]

Mick Ronson is an absolute legend. That ‘cocked wah’, filtered tone is so amazing.

[@davidgroat3625]

Bowie recreated his style basically each decade he was in the music industry. Listen « Let’s Dance » and you will here another style and then you can continue on down the rabbit hole.😊

[@frankj10000]

Not just each decade. At some points it was more like every two or three years, or even from one album to the next.

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

A beautiful, sloppy, real rock song. No perfection, no click-track. Even a little out of tune. Just play. Bowie is a giant because he did things that others would have been too afraid to do. He took artistic risks. Beautiful expressions. He was an artist, not just a musician. An actor too!

[@davidgroat3625]

The Laughing Gnome

[@OldSkoolDad23]

BOWIE is so unique.✌🏻

[@johnlamere2189]

There are alot of his songs that are great, some of my favs are "Five Years", "Moonage Daydream", "Starman", "It Ain't Easy", "Hang On to Yourself", "Ziggy Stardust", "Suffragette City", "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide". and those are all on this "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" album. I also love the "Aladdin Sane" album. Some of those that are cool are "Watch That Man", "Cracked Actor", "Time", "The Jean Genie".

[@garykidson4489]

There has never been, and never will be, another Bowie.

[@anthonyboyko3686]

One of the best albums ever.

[@emerald1805]

Guitarist Mick Ronson was a tremendous part of the sound. He was a HUGE influence on so many guitarists who came after. He went on to play guitar with many other bands and on many hits you know. Ronson played that awesome riff on John Cougar’s song “Jack & Diane”.

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction!! There is a reason David Bowie is known as 'The Chameleon' - he takes on, and becomes, so many different personas, and the music reflects that change! He's nearly impossible to pigeon hole on style & genre! So now if you want to sample another 'personae' of Bowie's, one called the Thin White Duke, take the following for a spin: Modern Love, Let's Dance & China Girl - all off the album Let's Dance. It's an 80's release with really funky grooves (thanks to Nile Rodgers of Chic fame!). And by contrast, something from pre-Space Oddity - The Man Who Sold The World. RIP Bowie!

[@allengray5748]

DANG! A month late to the party 🎉 🥳 A highly recommend when you do David Bowie to do lyric video. David is his words and the music his vessel. You mentioned him going through a phase. Life a constant phase and his phasers always on stun 😉 Anywho huge songs; CHANGES, YOUNG AMERICAN, GOLDEN YEARS, SUFFRAGETTE CITY!! Again please lyric videos. If you don't I'll have to quote to you "THE SOUND OF SILENCE"!! Great Channel, Great Reaction!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@erikgilson1687]

Hah I love that you guys have that innate humor with each other at a glance, that's a nice thing

[@josephpowell3949]

Astronauts were total rock stars back then! That was Hugh at that time!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

If someone asked me to describe glam rock, I think I could just play the first two guitar chords of this song...I think you will enjoy a tour through his discography, because while there is more in this vein, he had an unusually diverse and eclectic approach. Wide range of styles...

[@ChrisB-xm3mg]

Spiders from Mars was the name of the band he was touring with at the time. As far as this song goes, I’ve never really considered it to have a lot to do with the space theme that some of the other songs on the album do. I’ve always taken. Ziggy is being just a rockstar. Check out something like Starman. It might be more what you expected this one to be. Great album though probably one of my favourite albums of all time.

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

Please react to his song “China Girl”. It’s such a brilliant piece of songwriting (co-written with Iggy Pop), and the official video is brilliant as well. That track, as well as others from its album “Let’s Dance” (whose title track was a big hit for Bowie, along with Modern Love, both amazing songs and VERY different his earlier work) features Stevie Ray Vaughan soloing!

[@rextrek]

172nd.........Cracks me up....This song reminds me of the early 70's - my older brother all high munching out on Huge bowl of cereal and listening to Bowie....also, Bowie played an ALIEN in The Man who Fell to Earth ...in the 70's

[@timothybush9633]

Hi Phil & Sam, I first heard David in the 1970s and it was Wonderful as being a Musician, I think it was Liza Jane as David Jones?

[@robcannon9165]

HI GUYS GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND 🇬🇧 YOU SHOULD CHECKOUT DAVID BOWIE SINGING " HEROES" AT THE LIVE AID CONCERT IN ENGLAND AND THIS IS SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE BY BOWIE SINGING LIVE!!!

[@MrJeddYoung]

There are some great explanations on here about the Ziggy Stardust character - i would just add that now that you've heard the studio version - you should watch an old live performance where he performs "in character." And then - listen to Bauhaus' cover of Ziggy Stardust - a great introduction to what is often referred to as 'gothic' music. THanks for the reaction and thanks for posting this one.

[@daniellysohirka4258]

This album is so amazing, and so are all of his albums up till Low. If you wanna hear the 80's a decade in advance, listen to Young Americans.

[@DaveJonesVideo]

Bowie created different personas for his different albums and tours. Ziggie was inspired by Bowie meeting a rocker who claimed he was an alien messiah.

[@josephpowell3949]

Was his first big hit was 1967 Space Oddity, I think!

[@rowietappy187]

Heroes is by far his best IMO, even better when you watch the Live Aid performance and considering he was singing it to the world that night and basically saying we can all be heroes just for one day by watching the show and donating millions in cash to help starving people with donations and conurbations to the help the cause. Apart from Queen, my favourite part of the concert, definitely worth a view.

[@michaelfried3123]

Came on so loaded man, well hung, snow white tan... Bowie was a lyrical genius for sure.

[@farrken]

Back in that era cat was just another way to say dude. So cat from Japan is not taking about a kitty cat, he's saying ziggys hair looked like a Japanese dudes hair.

[@mikeherrmann5360]

Moonage Day Deam is my Favorite

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Space Oddity is my favorite with Heroes being a close second. They are nothing alike. He was constantly changing .

[@targetshootr]

Bowie's first four albums are my favorites and this one tops them all.

[@agunslinger9349]

Ziggy was also the character he adopted amd the band was thr spiders from Mars. Oddly, David was super shy and had trouble performing. Actually tried to get another person to be Ziggy. But he found when he played a character, with flamboyant outfits, the stage fright disappeared. After the band did Ziggy Stardust to its limit, he decided to stop it. Thus the having to break up the band. On to the next character invention he embodied.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Bowie has a bunch of cool songs. You two should check out “Future Legend”/“Diamond Dogs”. Need to do them both because they go together. That album has the hit “Rebel Rebel” on it. A 1984ish concept album. Other great songs to do are “Heroes”, “Starman”, “Life On Mars”, “Boys Keep Swinging”, “The Man Who Sold The World”, and “Drive In Saturday”. Plenty more.

[@soultrampamplification8425]

Ziggy is one of the four greatest albums of all time.

[@alan73795]

"Boy could he play guitar". In addition to the Beatles album Revolver, and The Velvet Underground and Nico, quite possibly the most influential modern rock album of all time. Needs to be listened to in its entirety (and turned up to maximum volume) to get the full impact.

[@markhodge7]

Ziggy is loosely based on Jimi Hendrix's career. There is an excellent article if you Google: "Playing it left hand: The rise and fall of Jimi Hendrix and the Spiders From Mars". Plenty of references to Jimi throughout the song and on the album. Only Bowie's voice is common to his songs. So creative musically. Fame, Changes, Heroes. You can always find a Bowie song to love.

[@highline64]

I always felt he was describing Jimi Hendrix. It fits his persona!

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

It's called "Glam" rock. Bowie basically invented it. There were other bands like T. Rex that did it as well, but Bowie generally gets the credit for the genre.

[@phillipradcliffe8037]

His first big hit was “Space Oddity.”

[@pairofpints]

A man without comparison

[@ChrisB-xm3mg]

I should also mention that Bowie went through a number of phases in his career. He was always bringing out new characters new new everything. Ziggy Stardust was definitely one of the characters one of the personas that he used but it’s far from the only one. The other one that you’ll hear quite often is the thin white Duke. And they all just referred a different personas that he used at various points in time various albums various parts of his career. He was all over the map as far as style goes very difficult to pin down.
