I love that they didn't have 'stylists' publicists or any of the modern PR baggage bands today supposedly need. This is the spirit of punk, that you can make and perform music WITHOUT PERMISSION. Anyone think of it that way, that today if you don't 'look right', 'sound right' or write songs about what you're 'supposed to' write about, you won't become popular?

I was just starting high school when this single came out. There was no punk or look back then. It was just rock n' roll and it was glorious. Punk comes in later when the industry sees a way to make money and kids decide to buy into the whole thing. By 1980 the scene was dead. Now the Gap sells ripped up jeans for $50. Your future dream is a shopping spree!

"No glitz, no glitter, no excessive stage show" - so Ziggy Stardust was a bad thing? Nothing happened to music. It still exists. I feel sorry for people too lazy to get up off their arse and find it. Great music is always worth searching for. And to make matters worse is that people today have it WAY EASIER. You don't have to go down to a great record store, spend a day searching the bins, meet with a knowledgeable clerk or music fan, and then plunk down 10 bucks on a gamble. Today you just go online and get bombarded with choices and free music. Find a band you like? Have their music on your phone,computer AND stereo in 30 seconds. Watch all their videos. Read their web site. Talk to fans on a forum. Know what the artist had for breakfast via their Twitter and find out when they're in town with an app, then buy those tickets without waiting in line. Shit, get the tabs and music sheets and lyrics to all your favorite songs. So stop whining.
@andybullock775 жыл бұрын
@@e32b61 While agree with a lot of what you say about the ease of finding and accessing music, I can't get on board with it all. Ziggy Stardust for example. While I love a lot of Bowie's music, and don't doubt the cultural impact of his stage image, alter egos etc, I was never a big fan of the theatrical side of it all. And I can see why others may just see it as pretentious showing off. My other point is live music. How much do you think the audience paid to get into this gig? Even though they were a signed band at this point, it wouldn't have cost anywhere near what tickets for even bands with minor success cost now, even taking inflation into account. But yeah, the ease and relative cheapness of accessing recorded music these days was unimaginable back then, and the ease with which people can find a live video of this performance is one example of that.
