David Bowie: Cracked Actor Part 1/5

[RazFan11]

What adjective would you use to describe yourself?

I'm...uh...David Bowie.

Hell yes. Best. Adjective. Ever.

[astronozzel]

that guy's a prick

[kerrian1960]

thanks for posting this, I recorded the whole documentary on my old cassette recorder when I was 14

[oatstao]

I haven't yet watched this but looks like a real treat. Not a real hardcore bowie fan but he's interesting none the less. I liked him in that movie "the man who fell to earth" but that's also because I LoVE the filmmaker that made the picture. peace thanks for sharing

[CoachE89]

lol im DAVID BOWIE you piece of shit!!

[MsMoonTheLoon]

beside all that cocaine sniffing, he's just too cute when he sings along to the music in the back of the car <3

[howltothemoon101]

baw whatever WHATEVER David rocks. :S he's da best

[weaselsuit]

Do the mass doses of stimulants such as cocaine, work to speed up metabolism, curb hunger, or a combination of both effects? Anyone have an educated guess? I've always been curious about that. Long live David Bowie...

[Alicettem]

@weaselsuit combination of both effects. And your brain's censorship dept goes down, and your paranoia goes up, possibly in inverse proportion

[weaselsuit]

@Alicettem Thank you for your reply. I have often wondered if David Bowie has ADD. If this was the case, which I suspect, stimulant medication would have actually helped him even out his brain chemistry. Of course, he took it to the extreme, but he does seem quite calm during this time period. Perhaps he was self medicating. ADD treatment medications are structurally similar to cocaine. I have it myself, and I don't get "high" from stimulant medication. It just helps me focus.

[naumnn]

David Bowie is an artist. Don't play games with him!!

[Toxiejunkie]

alright random question is ziggy stardust and aladdin sane the same character???? i know bowie described sane as "ziggy goes to america" sooo just wondering...... is it ziggy more developed?????

[PAULLONDEN]

This dude fell to Earth INЀ€Ð...▼L▼

[rawk2hard]

love Tara's Theme at the end. great doc.

[Tharggmucous]

What is the name of the song during the wax bit before rock n roll star?

[MsJanesta]

It's Quicksand, from Hunky Dory

[crankenstein70]

QUICKSAND off HUNKY DORY...

[micalove]

Who's the woman at 5:22 ?

[Landulphcounter]

@micalove Probably a bit late mate but he is playing Carole King and I think that is who is in the film clip???????????

[rollingold1]

@micalove

His protector Coco (Corinne) Schwab.

[Annaedification]

@micalove My guess would be Angie, but I'm no expert. I have no idea what she looks like.

[duxforddixie]

Bowie made me sick. Bowie makes me sick.

[Annaedification]

@duxforddixie then why the fuck watch a fucking documentary on the guy, idiot?

[legendofbirdbridge]

Can someone tell me the name of the piano piece that starts at 6.20. Thanks

[razorbacker80]

Tara's Theme from Gone With the Wind.

[legendofbirdbridge]

Thanks razorbacker!

[solar7]

how random yet uncanny and hilarious is that ! ? ''a wax museum in the middle of the desert ! '' perfect distraction,perfect timing..

[DanielBowden1975]

Why has this not been released on DVD yet?

Bloody disgrace

[54spiritedwill54]

gotta love when he sings along to "Natural Women" adorable!

[nesplayer94]

I love Bowie drinking that huge carton of milk and explaining how he's like a "foreign body" . I dunno, it's like some sort of innocence represented there.

[eg463665]

Bowie later said that this was the peak of his cocaine use where he survived on red peppers, milk and cocaine. You can see how emaciated and jittery he was... Strange but he said he weighed less 100 lbs at this time, just kept drinking milk to keep himself going...

[nathansavas]

how old was Bowie when he played Ziggy?

[kwijibomonkey]

He was 25

[JKRowling123]

@nathansavas he's born in January 1947... You do the math

[eliseandnicky]

LOL, at the fly-in-milk bit, David explains about the fly: "theres a fly floating around in my milk, and its a foreign body in it, you see? And hes getting a lot of milk, thats kinda how i felt." pause, David notices that no one knows what he is on about.... "a a foreign body......." lol davd is so sweet, but no one knows what he is talking about most of the time.. i love it XDDD

[Ralexand1988]

because he was full of drugs at this time, i think. :/ He was really down in these days...

[BrutalAtheist]

David Bowie is an awesome guy.

Both musician and actor.

[me92me92]

haha the fly in his milk

[TonyCliftonBaby]

'until the beatles get back together' thats funny..

[MissGloomySunday]

Fantastic, Fantastic ,Fantastic !!

Thank for uploading this !!

Kisssss

[RBlovesKOP]

wow that interview is a BITCH. He had the nerve to be such an asshole.

[novanine9]

@RBlovesKOP - Yeah, the world is, definitely, becoming better and better....more polite.

you'll watch these old interviews and everyone is being such douche bags...what's up with that?

[nesplayer94]

That interviewer in the beginning is an ass

[beaverliqour]

Wayne Batz runs a gas station in Ohio now

[ninaisthekoolest]

[beaverliqour]

the news guy

[ninaisthekoolest]

really? thats hilarious!

[newyorkbabydoll]

BOWIE GROUPIE FOREVER!

[deirdorfnippon]

I love cocaine!

[eliseandnicky]

lol, me 2:P

[Ihavearubbersoulforu]

I love to sniff coke off of my sister's ass

[weaselsuit]

@deirdorfnippon Paranoia at great expense though innit?

[MozzerRocks]

What an unprofessional loser the interviewer in the beginning is. Yeah...his reporting career just went for miles and miles 'eh?

[LittleD3]

I dont like the interviewer. I love Bowie <3

[lifeismusic08]

yeah, go shoot yourself in the face. (to the interviewer in the beginning)

[leonoel42]

thanks for posting this i lost my copy of this programme when i lent it to a friend!! Its a fascinating episode in Bowies career. I think he looks fxxing fantastic despite the obvious coke addiction. I love the line

;..a wax museum in the desert ..you'd think it would melt.

[Snotra]

What a dick!!

[llook05]

I think hes the greatest, but is he really that good looking?

[attolia2491]

yes, he is

[Arryn77]

Oh yes, he is THAT good looking!

[eliseandnicky]

he is WAY more then THAT good looking!!!

[Munildis]

I think that he is not aesthetically beautiful in a traditional sense, but he is extremely attractive and charismatic, which makes him WAY more than THAT good looking :)

And his voice is amazingly charismatic as well!

[ziggystardustlover]

Can you blame david for throwing off that fan? She was clawing him!! I couldn't handle that type of crap. David is a legend and my lover. :]

[GodOfSeas]

What does he say before "Bye bye we love him"?

[grumbler70]

He says, "thank you very much, bye bye, we love you."

[DBCrowns]

That intervieew should take some art and music courses instead of being a stuffed shirt all his life!! IDIOT he is

[facebookpersonalacct]

Yea btw where is that interviewer?? He probaby sells shirts outside of the metro ha ha. What a retard

[PurplePython378]

hahahaha the wax museum. "you think it would melt, wouldnt you?" XDDDDDDDD

[stardust2116]

I love the 'Aaoo!' he does in the car. He's is so RANDOM, 'there's a fly floating around in my milk' & 'bleedin' wax museum'. I love that.

[stardust2116]

How was that a riddle? Is that bloke on drugs too? David has lasted a lot longer than the Beatles. That showed him didn't it.

[Ihavearubbersoulforu]

yea but quantity doesn't always equal quality. mmmmmm i still love sniffing coke off of my sister's ass. I am a true family man

[scriptwriter007]

Little children,gather round and for once shut the fuck up!!!!

Dave cam to Buffalo,N.Y. which at this time jus after the Dogs Tour turned into the FAME tour, Dave's courtdate to sue Tony DeFries was up,as Tony burned him for ,well a few bucks.Nighty kids...drink your warm milk and close the door..

[franzchick66]

finally, the famous documentary on youtube, thanks for putting this up!

[motellife]

the whole actual documentary has been on for at least a whole year, in davidcantello's channel, a nice channel dedicated to Bowie during the Diamond Dogs/ Philly Tour times.

[kwijibomonkey]

A whole year? It says it was added 3 months ago.

[motellife]

really? right now i'm seeing it says 11 months or so. the one i'm talking to is the one from the Dogs Channel, a channel dedicated solely to Bowie's Young Americans/Diamond Dogs/Philly Tour/Halloween Jack years.

[Bowiefanperson]

1974, he had his cocaine addiction then right. When he kind of looks like a zombie. But he's still awsome.

[Moledmc]

Wonderful. Time to kick back with a hot chocolate and watch this marvel. Thank you.

[brooksie19]

love when he sings along to "Natural Women" adorable!

[Izzierocks]

Thanks so much for putting this up!

I recorded it a while ago on tv,

But my sister recorded over it!

[LokiV]

The girl in the car is COCO' SCHWAB ??

[LokiV]

Love you david always have always will :)

[asy4]

God bless Californians! I guess I tend to underestimate the tastes of Americans -- wrongly on occasion.

[asy4]

Gotta love Youtube. I would NEVER have run across this otherwise. THanks! PS I am guessing a Brit posted this?

[kwijibomonkey]

Californian, yo.

[raggamuffinroz]

hahaha thanks i did realise; how bloody pinging was he when this was filmed but?

[raggamuffinroz]
