david bowie interview 1973

[vedderfan94]

He looks like a normal bloke now. But damn was he fucking ugly.

[sanguinaryheart]

@vedderfan94 BLASPHEMER. O_O *throws brick*

[Sakuya727]

@vedderfan94 Your ugly!!! Bowie was pretty then and he STILL is pretty now you're  just jealous of his beauty!! Anyways, this is a great video I love it :D

[mgkiwi1958]

David Bowie is and was unique - many people have tried extremely hard to follow, mimic, even out do but failed miserably. There will never be another David Bowie - a true, unique, musical genius - and he's still giving it large!!!

[ChrisSketch]

SHOES!

[theghostkid13]

im reading his biography

[soheil1372]

i drop the T sometimes

[Tweekki]

why do i always think that, in this period, he looked like the mother on tv's "Webster."

[ezywonder]

Btw, met him back stage in his dressing room.  He was completely great in ever way you would think.

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

@ezywonder Tell me everything. :3

[icarus313]

This guy absolutely RULES.

[ezywonder]

@icarus313 Completely

[PrisonBreakFilms]

Ha! He does collect personalities! Thumbs up if you see a shade of Paul McCartney at 0:37!

[chingchangchongfly]

That's as gay as anything I've seen in a long time, and to think it was all an act. He was a collector.

[tikiman99099]

"I drop me T's sometimes." I find that just adorable :) Love Bowie, what a legend!

[Tallyzip]

SEXY MAN

[zetagrace93]

Aw he's so sweet and shy, I just wanna give him a hug :)

[shamaho]

He seem so little! And sweet. Love this.

[00DavidBowie]

i lolled when i saw his shoes

[FoolieFishing]

why is the inteview cut in the middle of a word?

[ba77ar90]

ill know what to think of next time i get a boner in university

[MeBenHalpin]

What date did this air?.

[bluelifemedia]

When true artists get a break, or a chance to fly, they change the world. Luck them, right?

[officialinfoglobal]

i used to dress like that, until i took an arrow to the knee

[GlorifiedTruth]

David, you don't really drop your T's... you employ the glottal stop, characteristic of many British dialects. No need to apologize!

[Maafa1619]

Interviewer: Do you indulge in any form of worship?

Bowie: Well, Clapton, Townshend and myself have formed the church of Jimi Hendrix's monstrous black cock.

[Ladyariee1940]

Same here :/

[maisieieieie]

His voice is my favourite voice.

[blackcat91000]

God must hate me if he loved me I would not be in this generation! :(

[skateNappreciate]

id date this guy and im a straight guy, he seems like he'd be the type who would be down for anything and doesnt give a fuck what anybody thinks

[iggyover]

cool....cool aways will be just cool chet baker cool.

[MsLucySykes]

Watching this gives me butterflies :3

[tbsva152]

omg his accent. too. perfect. to. hear

[XStellaHannahX]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE ! xD ( I just needed to say that right now :'D)

[tikiman99099]

"I drop me T's sometimes" :P

[watcher18893]

this is ziggy i think, his eyes and mouth are open its wierd, hjes much more composed in later interviews

[urmomslover12]

He's a fucken ginger??!?!

[KatherineLF]

@urmomslover12 Bowie??? no! his hair's dyed! lol XD

[niginai]

@urmomslover12 lawl no bowie likes to die his hair

[DBCrowns]

@urmomslover12 you mean genius.

[TheRobynmorin94]

@urmomslover12 Lolz.

[micsolis]

heavy dooey

[broadwaybound1233]

Ok so he looks a lot more attractive now that he's 65.

[Allrightteam]

@broadwaybound1233 Capped teeth will do that for a fellow.

[janeeyre1990]

@Allrightteam Noooo, I like his old teeth better. That might just be because I'm an American and I'm used to people with perfectly straight, shining white, capped teeth that look artificial. I love me a Brit with a messed up mouth.

[gadfageyar]

@janeeyre1990 just out of interest do all americans think we brits have bad dental hygeine??

[DBCrowns]

@gadfageyar but he had the money to fix them.

[TheRobynmorin94]

@gadfageyar Nope!

[TheMerrow3]

@gadfageyar I am American and I hear that comment a lot. I don't it's to be taken seriously, just as any stereotype can't truly be applied to the real world. But I did have a friend who, upon coming back from the U.K., was asked; "How are your teeth?" I must say, however, that stereotypes can be considered empirical generalizations, so in that case, their has to be SOME basis for the assumption? I make this observation myself, but I am not anal about it.

[sarabower1]

@janeeyre1990 I loved his old teeth as well

[saltyninja]

Damn...forget madonna, Lady Gaga ripped off david bowie!!

[rachaelbear6]

@saltyninja have you noticed she stole his lightning bolt, she just changed the color to black

[mgee0310]

@saltyninja lady gaga is inspired by Bowie.

[sarabower1]

@mgee0310 who cares. That retard isn't fit to wipe bowies ass

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

@mgee0310 fuck you

[sexckatxx]

'Sorry i drop me T's somtimes' gotta love him<3

[producertoronto]

That's a dumb interviewer.

[RamonLVillalona]

The Joker X-D

[angryglare]

"sexy? i what way?" what way do you think, smart ass? XD

[thefluffinator229]

What a blatent bloody interview

[CaptainAppleManFilms]

@thefluffinator229 Please learn what 'blatent' means. :-P

[thefluffinator229]

What a blatent fucking interview

[Dalek114]

I <3 Bowie!

[Born2Rock1987]

I really love that he says he is a collector..cos thats what I do as well... kinda cool

[Rabmcm32]

Mrster - the interviewer is Russell Harty. Now deceased.

[jaguar4u2012]

Im scared

[TheRandomCrapSection]

Wow...never before have I seen a man so capable of pulling of such a look. DB FTW. xD

[Mrster]

That interviewer... I saw him interview McDowell about Clockwork Orange, he's an ass there too. Who is he?

[mortalification]

@Mrster the interviewer was russell harty he was interviewing grace jones once and she stood up and belted him 

[mortalification]

@Mrster russell harty

[imanunbearablesloth]

ahah I drop me tees sometimes

[1foottall]

that interviewer is so creepy

[larissaelle]

The shot of his profile when he says "Life. I love life very much indeed." is angelic.

[Baardnick]

W T F is that!? fucking disgusting!

[MrSteatlhKitten]

AH the screen lagged right as he started to talk and he looked like a zombie....

[4everClassicrock]

i really hate how the interviewer is so uptight, he didn'rt smile or laugh once. ...

[NOLApaul77]

Oh Nevermind. I just read that he got punched in the face when he was 14 and the blow damaged the muscles in his left eye, so his left pupil is always dialated.

Geez.

[NOLApaul77]

Whats with his left pupil being nearly twice the diameter of his right? Is this normal for him?

[tobiaskitty562]

@NOLApaul77 he has heterochromia. One eye is blue and one is brown.

[FirstmateRouge]

@NOLApaul77 Yeah, his left pupil is permanately dialated. :)

[ribetacatcha]

'Heavy Duey?'

'Heavy DUTY'

Good God man, you're English, surely you can understand what he was trying to say. 

[jemappelledrwholuvr]

@ribetacatcha

lol i know right?

[FlyingTurtletastic]

Awww, he's so cute! >.< Love David, but the interviewer seems rather up tight, and... indifferent, as if he isn't talking to one of the greatest legends.

[pinssimies]

Ohh I just can indentify with Bowie :D

[TheAnimeloverartist]

I love you David Bowie! I love you for inspiring me in my music, in my mind, and in my creativity. You are a wonderfully REAL person and I wish you all the happiness you deserve. You're fantastic. ^_^

[GrimmRachel]

I keep repeating David saying "S'very sexy, ha!" Because It is s'very sexy.

[RazFan11]

"I love life very much indeed"

That just has to be my new life's motto.

[TheAnimeloverartist]

@RazFan11 Same ^_^

[POBulkhead]

In 1973 I wanted to "crush his sweet hands." But I've mellowed.

[JenniferPHendrix]

David Bowie is an original.... I was 9 years old at the time of this interview. He made a very strong impression on me as a child. I was scared of him, but drawn to him at the same time. Lol. Then i got older, started listening to his music and fell in love with it. He's a beautiful man, then and now.

[MrAronRobinson]

The interviewer is Russel Harty. His most famous interview was with Grace Jones who ended up hitting him. Loads of people in Britain couldn't stand him and there was a lot of cheering in British homes that night.

[NATTypeStrick]

i like his music, but damn he looks fuckin weird

[MrAronRobinson]

@NATTypeStrick The interviewer is Russel Harty. His most famous interview was with Grace Jones who ended up hitting him. Loads of people in Britain couldn't stand him and there was a lot of cheering in British homes that night.

[reaperpro]

say, isn't that ol' Bill "Filth & Fury" Grundy, who had the Sex Pistols cussing him on his show? [edit] never mind, I recognize him now, it's somebody else, my bad.

[reaperpro]

say, isn't that ol' Bill "Filth & Fury" Grundy, who had the Sex Pistols cussing him on his show?

[squizz222]

Fucking terrible interviewer. First he asks Bowie if he believes in God, then scoffs at him when he answers the question honestly.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

He still is a collector. Art is meant to be stolen David would be the first to tell you art must be USED and he freely uses it all.

[Avian801]

@NoDestinyLive4Now Yes &a good critic does a valuable service for both artists by pointing out particular thefts, placing them in a tradition.

[Avian801]

The critic does a valuable service for both artists (the thief and the relatively original) in pointing out particular "thefts," placing them in a tradition. Bowie called himself a photostat machine and imho he disavowed originality so he could defuse the anxiety-cost of being so blazingly original.

[BBoyPhreshershist]

Is it true he slept with mick jagger????

[ZZqezza]

I SO want his shoes

[Markthompson123]

i love life very much indeed.

[anonimoxd9666]

DAVID BOWIE IS A LIVE LEGEND

think about it...

[MightyMessenger777]

watch closely around 1:02 and you'll see davey lip-sink the questions being ask him..

[stevenello1]

Now watch the interview a year later with Dick Cavett...on coke.

[KittiMitties]

My god his voice..... *_* <3

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

he kind of sounds and looks like keith richards

[kansasotakugirl]

I love how adorible he is in this interview :3 He's so cute!

On another note...I want his shoes from this intervew or at least some like it..seriously those shoes are amazing! XD

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Odd questions... could have gone much deeper. Obviously David seems to be sorta high in this interview, not surprising for the time period.

[Duckliee]

'How's you're baby, how's you're wife, Whats you're mothers name...'

That bit made me laugh XD

[lilmissnosey]

lol the interviewer seems annoyed

[katrin99verified]

my birthyear :)

[neo800805]

could somebody told me what David said at 0:39?

i believe in "what" ? and 1: 11 scabrous... and "what"?

I am learning English .

[neo800805]

what did he say at 0:39 ?

i believe in what?

could somebody hlep me

[DBCrowns]

@neo800805 Bowie said at 39 "I believe in an energy form"

[neo800805]

@DBCrowns thank u sir

[thesydneyfication]

Stop oggling over him. My god. It's been going on for literally decades now, and I'm sick of every youtube comment being "ohhhmmmyyygggooooddddd david bowie is so sexy." We get the idea. He's still attractive, even at 64. 'Nuff said.

[Sashy42]

I love how seriously David Bowie takes each question.

[seachaange]

i have seen this interview a thousand times and each time the fucking interviewer makes me so mad

[tauro1730]

I love you David Bowie

[MiaoPurrington]

Great interview. I liked the part where the interviewer asks David what form of worship does he indulge in. And Bowie replies "Life, I love life." Beautiful.

[luchie2088]

epic eyes 

[Cleo4696]

What a prick of an interviewer. His anus is about as tight as a nun's quim.

[klepzo]

what a horrible earring

[missopan]

Such a wierd dude man, no offence!

[MrJuancarlosferrero]

im a collectorrrr O____O

[mathewrodgersrocks]

Drop me t's sometime

[SweetenThekitty96]

I want to see more of his Ziggy interviews. I want to read his fan mail! He's got me insatiable!

[lastmile77]

"I drop my t's sometimes." LOL

[CressidaTussaud]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE HIS SHOES!!!!

[Squeaky1423]

The interviewer is a jerk! Bowie is so lovely and polite.

[Becca16luvsRhydian]

I love the way he says its very sexy

[Robofarts]

Interviewer is an ass.

[beatlecraze0]

Davids shoes are FABULOUS!!!!!

[lisajlasvegas108]

Incredibly sweet David in his still boyish innocence!

[TheGuinnessboys]

hey! cool eyebrows man! *Thumbs up :D

[adeschanel]

it's funny how a rockstar can look as cute as a little child..

[cainespsychodelic27]

I think I'm a person who, umm... can... uhm...

aaaaaaaaawww so gorgeous! *-*

[raerae1281]

OMG, Bowie is so god damn sexy. What kind of questions are "Do you believe in god?" and "Do you practice any form of worship?" What does that have to do with him or his music? I love how Bowie answered those questions, though. He's so intelligent. The interview has an asshole as tight as an unopened jar of pickles, he just doesn't get it, waaayyy too uptight to be interviewing someone as awesome as Bowie.

[PiskieBenWa]

@raerae1281 On the contrary, I think Russel is kind of playful, ... what do you want him to ask about, his latest album?

[funlover2283]

@raerae1281 Yeah but you have to realize what the society was like back in 1973. These are questions everyone was asking back then. Now we take it for granted that someone like Bowie can be as he is/was so yeah we "get it". Not the case in 1973.

[LanceMurtagh]

@raerae1281 Sexy? He looks like a 50 year old woman with anorexia, red hair and clown make up. If you think that's sexy, you have problems.

[monkeysoulpoet]

@raerae1281 Why? Because he *is* intelligent, and intelligent people think about these things. Bowie studied Buddhism and even once considered being a Zen monk.

[TheRandomCrapSection]

@raerae1281 You gotta remember, this was way back in the 70's, when people still only cared about what faith you aligned yourself with. It was a more nitpick world than we live in today, so back then these were totally acceptable questions. Today you can get sued for questioning someones beliefs. xD

[boyscoutonacid]

Simply a gentleman for such a young man. Respect.

[boyscoutonacid]

Simply a gentleman, and he's so young!

[TheEMOALONDRIA]

he is not creepy ass hole he is sexy as ever i love him he is awesome bowie forever!

[1veryreal]

damn, he fuckin creeps me out

[Apemopo]

"heavy DO IT"-letters? so david bowie, like judas priest wants his fans to kill emselves, yo!!

[ScantiLee]

@Apemopo He actually corrects the interviewer at the end by apologizing and says duty...heavy duty, that he sometimes drops his "Ts".

[cactusmilo918]

OMG big shooes there!

[tokimasa121]

@cactusmilo918 I LOVE his shoes!

[Poopingbotham]

He does much better interviews these days

[ProperMuzik]

wow this was terrible. 

[cirquedude123]

Do you have the rest of the interview?

[Badkarma333]

Musical genius, that's not being questioned, but by god did he spout some pretentious drivel back then - a collector of personalities my arse - he was undeniably talented but coked up beyond comprehension. It's only in later interviews that you realise what a funny, smart, witty guy he really is beneath the charade. I wonder how long it will take Lady Gaga to get her head out of her rectum as well.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Badkarma333 collector of personalities pretentious? if anything it's modest, there is no ego in david bowie. when he says something good about himself it never sounds big headed, he just tells it how it is

[LiveLaughLucky]

i like how the intrviewer just interrupts him

[FozzyOverload]

"drop me t's sometimes"

[TheOneAndOnly10000]

This isn't David Bowie! It's Ziggy Stardust!

[8000cheese]

@TheOneAndOnly10000 Say it again, I don't think we get it yet

[TheOneAndOnly10000]

This isn't David Bowie! It's Ziggy Stardust!

[TheOneAndOnly10000]

This isn't David Bowie! It's Ziggy Stardust!

[TheOneAndOnly10000]

This isn't David Bowie! It's Ziggy Stardust!

[TheTJSimz]

4 people need to change, believe that there's life on mars, and listen to Hunky Dory.

[burytilidie]

How interesting that Morrissey adopted the very same manner of speaking - almost with the same accent - even going so far as to mention about framing fanmail in an interview he did in, I believe, 1984.

[radicalbabe]

AAAAH THE SHOES

[TheEpicMusicChannel]

I am also, a collector.

[ckoperni]

How unprofessional as a host to react to a guest's response with an exasperated huff (0:40 mark). This guy should've been fired.

[flaxonx3]

Harty was a berk, never liked his show when I was a kid though he had a lot of good guests. The Americans are so much better at the chatshow, in Britain ours have always been crap including Parkinson the grovelling northerner.

[snaapz]

I pick things up, I am a collector. Trent you sure are influenced by David.

[Francesko263]

Russel Hardy is really annoying. Bad interviewer.

[the2009guy]

Why do you even bother mentioning Lady Gaga if she's so ''terribly bad''? Can't one watch a motherfuckin' video about some motherfuckin' singer without mentioning Lady Gaga and Britney Spears and Justin Bieber and Katy Perry and shit like that!?!?!? like, dude! you can't blame a person for being young, (don't get me wrong i'm also one of those persons) and young people always look for something new. and if you hate Gaga so much don't even think about her!

[Moonshine3991]

He has the sweetest smile! *-*

How can the interviewer be so rude...? Bowie is being so nice and friendly! ^^

[TrisSings]

His ums are so cute :]

[iplaybass00]

I would love to smack the guy who is interviewing David, What a lttle prick....

[Eugenidesful]

He looks like an alien, but he acts more sweet and down-to-earth than the interviewer.

Also, he's so intelligent.

It's no wonder that this man is timeless.

[MrBrandon621]

what would david bowie... think about david bowie?

[MrBrandon621]

wow i wish that david bowie would keep my fan letters :) he is so sweet, he may be a bit odd to some people but he is really just a creative brilliant man!
