DAVID BOWIE

On annonce trois nouvelles sorties pour Bowie : un concert best of de
2003, les rééditions de Space Oddity et Station To Station.
Le
concert de 2003 reprendra les meilleurs chansons des concerts de Dublin
(dont le deuxième soir était sorti en DVD). Trois chansons zappé pour
le DVD trouveront leur place sur ce double album. Il s'agit de Fall Dog
Bombs The Moon, Breaking Glass et China Girl. La réédition de Space
Oddity aura un CD bonus contenant des live, des versions alternatives
et un inédit Ragazzo solo Ragazza sola. Ca fait un peu remplissage
quand même. Mais le plus appétissant reste Station To Station qui
contiendra le concert du 23 mars 76 à Uniondale. Le concert est
démentiel et c'est une vraie bonne nouvelle de le trouver en CD bonus
(même s'il existe déjà en bootleg).

Voici une interview, certes un peu ancienne (2003), de Trevor Bolder, ex-bassiste de Spiders from Mars et actuel bassiste de Uriah Heep.
Il revient en particulier sur la période Bowie et c'est très intéressant :

Merci à Chris du BSF.

Une petite question qui me tarotte que devient-il ce cher David ? vous le savez vous ?

Bah! moi qui suis de près sa majesté BOWIE , il vit en famille peinard et a laissé le show biz , je crois qu'il en à marre , tiens je te mets une petite photo avec sa femme et sa fille.

Merci

Au sein des Spiders From Mars, Ken Scott le producteur en l'occurrence de Space Oddity semble dire que Mick Ronson n'avait pas être doté d'un ego surdimensionné comme semblaient l'avoir certains de ses pairs :

Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson didn’t have the ego required to become a star in his own right, says producer Ken Scott.

Scott worked with David Bowie and the band on iconic album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, which was released 40 years ago today.

When Bowie moved on Ronson failed to capitalise on his own acclaim to the extend many think he could have done – but the producer says that’s not a bad reflection on the guitarist.

Scott tells Gibson.com: “One has to have a certain ego to be a frontman, and I don’t think Ronno had that ego. And I don’t mean that in a negative way.

“Generally speaking – and I want to stress this is a generalisation – musicians have particular personalities relating to their instruments and to the role they play.

“A bass player tends to have a personality that’s different from the personality of a drummer, and so on. There’s a trait peculiar to a frontman, a lead singer, that Ronno definitely didn’t have.”

Scott recalls Ronson recorded his acclaimed solo on Moonage Daydream in one take: “My recollection is that there had been no discussion beforehand regarding what it should be. It was more like, ‘Okay, it’s time to do it,’ and he just played it. David and I just went, ‘Wow!’ Whether or not Ronno had spent time working on it at hime is something I can’t answer.”

In the 1970s bands were under pressure to release a new album every six months, and rarely spent more than two weeks recording an LP. Scott says that’s one of the reasons people are still talking about albums like Ziggy Stardust four decades on.

“It made the cream rise to the top,” the producer reflects. “Only the best artists could keep it going. Just look at the material that came our from that period: Bowie, Elton John, the Who, and beyond.

“It’s amazing, the things we still listen to today that were made under that pressure. You were forced to make decisions quickly without second-guessing yourself. The quality of work was better as a result.”

Je n'avais pas eu l'occasion de regarder ce DVD emprunté à la Médiathèque et reconnaissons qu'il est très bien fait puisqu'il s'attarde sur la période Spiders Of Mars, ma période préférée.

Le producteur de David Bowie, Tony Visconti a annoncé qu'il n'y aurait pas de tournée pour la promotion du nouvel album du chanteur. Visconti explique que lors de l'enregistrement de l'album Bowie a été très clair, il n'y aura pas de concerts. "Lorsque les musiciens demandaient 'comment ça va sonner en Live?' David répondait 'On ne le saura pas, il n'y aura pas de Live.' Il a été très clair sur le sujet.

Tony Visconti en raconte plus à Rolling Stone sur le contenu de ce nouvel album :

Where Are we Now serait le seul ballade, il y aurait 5 titres rocks et les autres seraient plus funk, funky, mi tempo, plus dansants apparemment.

Merci à Pat25 !!!!

Merci David pour cette daube bien chaude !!

Hier soir, ma femme a regardé 50 minutes inside. Un des sujets était consacré au sieur Bowie et naturellement, pour mon grand plaisir, ils ont passé un extrait de ce que je qualifierais de "meilleur concert" du monsieur toutes périodes confondues à savoir l'Hammersmith Odeon 73. Un reportage, ma foi, intéressant, qui dressait un panorama assez complet de la carrière de cet immense artiste.

C'est rediffusable sur le net.
