David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

[rumblewolf]

In 1976 I was in barber college and I saw Bowie with this hair style on his Bowie Pinups album cover. a space alien couple . I was obsessed with this look so cut my hair into this style ,and dyed it red.

I wanted to experience a little of what a space alien would feel like on Earth.

Im straight but some people thought I looked gay. if that had bothered me I would have never gone into hair Styling. lol Most people were Shocked and thats the response I was looking for..so Not boring.

[littlejolit]

Actually back in '72 there were fewer issues being gay, bi, or whatever. Back then, we were more open-minded and experimental with new ways of loving. It is much worse today - religion didn't used to be fundamentalist literalism either. All this is, quite sadly, new.

[AutymnJade]

he is so sexy.

[Sporkzeranza]

I want to hug you, Mr. Bowie.

[jeffsjellybean]

He is so awsome! I'd love to be in his creative mind for just 5 minutes!

[paisleyization]

The best hairstyle ever invented, who thought this up? it looks like fox fur. I've never heard who the hairstylist was who did this amazing doo. And not easy to replicate. The makeup on the skull like face, such stage presence. 37 years ago folks.

[kourtney1222]

@paisleyization Actually I had a sunday school teacher once who seemed to be able to replicate the style without much difficulty. Although I'm sure it was not intentional...

[sa5mly911]

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! GO BOWIE!!!!!!!!<3

[22eljoe]

Bowie looks better in drag!

[MrWant2watch]

The look on Bowies face, as he toys around with the moment. That kind of confidence is what allows a man to dress like that, And still be bad ass.

[gatorchic420]

At least, this was the single Greatest performance EVER! Beyond any timelines or comprehension "."

[novanine9]

"With weird, and.....GILLLLLY!" - So awesome...why does he not sing it like that anymore?

love my Bowwwwww-wee!

[demonik996]

Well what can i say apart from that! David bowie is an amazing artist in the greatest possible sense! He writes and performs like he was given a gift from the gods! And im no gay! But even i think that he gets better looking the older he gets! :)

[teebeartheunicorn]

his outfit is smexy..... xD

[lowethecookster]

is it weird that i get off on this?

[catgirl1234]

Ladies & gentlemen, for those who are not familiar with D.B, I'd like you to meet Ziggy Stardust........

[TheBowieman]

BOWIE WAS ZIGGY ZIGGY WAS GOD!!!!!

[kerrzo1971]

Killing with coolness. eat the ice eatiteatiteatit!!!

[meganelizabethify]

I'm 17 and David Bowie is one of my all time favorites. His music definitely transcends generations.

[bustballz]

BREATHTAKINGLY AMAZING......WOW, WHAT CAN YOU REALLY SAY?

[arkanox111]

I want a screw down hair do.

[deathbypowerglove]

Lady Gaga once said she was gonna be the new Bowie.

Fuck no your not.

Nobody comes near David

[Insomniodic]

@deathbypowerglove

lady gagas a cliche dumb ass

Bowie was a natural bad ass.

Hes an amazingly talented revolution.

looked handsome in each one of his phases too. :)

[Joinoh]

gaga wishes she was a pimple on Ziggy's ass!

[Insomniodic]

@Joinoh AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

omg that made my day.

well she sure looks like a pimple. shes effing ugly.

[Vozzost]

@Joinoh LMFAO!!! Best comment EVER.

[addison1977]

@deathbypowerglove I remember Oasis saying something similiar about the Beatles, lol, same shit different band, and It'll end the same way, with Gaga in the bargain bin

[KingBashan]

Wow!

[TheEraMusic]

Please check our acoustic cover of this. We would appreciate it.

The Era

[chasmorox]

[peacenate]

[ZackPomerleau]

@peacenate You got it man!

[Peaks33]

Too bad the sound man (Ironically) had the guitar mix screwed up.

Still Classic stuff! Thumbs up.

[leroyman333]

Well done Ziggy :)

[movinon5]

Its just doesnt get anymore epic then this.

[Schrodingercat1]

I have rediscovered Bowie just recently. I saw his Ziggy Stardust Concert in August of 1972 at the Rainbow Theatre in London with my cousin and girlfriend, when I was 21 years old. We sort of had an "email reunion" and have been emailing back and forth most of the day recalling this amazing concert. Here we are almost 40 years later, appreciating Bowie's amazing talent! His music will always touch me in a way few musicians have.

[slightreturn3589]

I have to admit, David Bowie is very cute. No homosexual thing.

[jbails007]

David Bowie is the man. Or woman. Or something.

[Queenofhearts214]

now this is what i call a ROCKSTAR...Bowie is just awesome

[scorpiolibris]

The Meaning of perfection!

[justkyles]

Ziggy! Ziggy! Ziggy! Oi! Oi! Oi!

[eletricshoes]

just amazing!

[StellaSimon5]

love him! so much.

[scottymirror]

david bowie and lou reed may be the only 2 men who i can take completely seriously while wearing a dress.

[xdieromanticx212]

dont forget jamie farr as klinger in mash i could always take him seriously in his scarlet o'hara dress lol

[Sbengerful]

Bowie has been sooo influential, so creative and groundbreaking. he even used Klaus Nomi as a backup singer for an appearance on SNL, and Nomi was about as weird as you could get even in the early '80's.

[puremelee]

favorite version ever

amazing drumming in chorus's

[riderpoet]

I bought this album on cassette when I was ten years old, because it looked interesting. I didn't even know that Ziggy was David Bowie. It helped to define who I am today. It's worth noting that David Bowie was standing up for androgeny, bisexuality and gay pride in 1972 - a time in America when being openly bi or gay was risking your life. I'm straight myself, but having Ziggy Stardust as a part of my development made me a more enlightened, empathetic kind of straight. And a lot cooler.

[botoxbabe1]

@riderpoet i was first a fan of Bowies at that age too from no ones influence apart from he looked so unique, i was intrigued and ultimately hooked! He is and will always be a pure genius.

[lroe8]

@riderpoet

i agree. i felt the same.

great tunes during a great time!

[novanine9]

@riderpoet - well said...well said

"Jamming good with wierd....and GILLLY!"

FANTASTIC VOCAL PHRASING....SO ORIGINAL

I SAW HIM BACK IN 1992, AT DODGER STADIUM DURING HIS SOUND AND VISION TOUR...

he is one of those singers that sounds 100 times better live than on tape.

no words to describe it...dynamics....tone....timin­g....off the hook

[novanine9]

@riderpoet - my mom always says that she wished that she'd seen Elvis live before he died...

I SAY BETTER OFF CATCHING BOWIE LIVE....I DID.

i've seen some great bands live and Bowie is right up there

[metalmickey07]

In 37 years as a fan I have never found out what "the nazz" means, anyone have any ideas?

[Kingdra]

something to do with god

[thebeatles4664]

Maybe a spacey version of

like, awesomeness or the shizz,...

[jeffsjellybean]

Nazz was a psychedelic and garage rock, often mistakenly called "the nazz", but on their album it was just nazz!

[jeffsjellybean]
