Marc Bolan & David Bowie - Madman [Demo]

[ratfeet99]

...red sky at night - bagga shite xx

[bolanbabe]

love  it!!!!!!!!!!! xxx

[JTerrible63]

Beautiful video.

"Though I'm small, " sang Bolan,

though mega-soul'd---the UK beats up the little ones too

as they do Here's God's country of anesthetic cunts

But he "enjoys living anyway"

THANKS DAVID

Sometimes it takes beauty

To prove beauty

[BoysKeepSwingin2]

I think its not the Cuddly Toys, I've heard a demotape of Bowie's owbn, unfinished version of this song before. That is in fact the tape the Cuddly Toys have used to finish and properly record the song

[McDjB1]

This doesn't sound like Bolan or Bowie :S are you sure it isn't just a bad quality Cuddly Toys version?

[seanissane]

there are a couple of diff. demos out there and this one is the one you most hear bowie! Awesome. thanks!

[bartrichbarton]

fabulous

[epistrophy68]

That "bass line" is priceless. It sounds like someone's twanging a metal ruler on the edge of a desk! I might have to sample that...

[leonakita]

@epistrophy68 haha..'metal ruler on the edge of a desk'...you have a discerning ear!.. that accurate description made me lol

[2legitbitch]

this video is so funny.

[AshtonArcher]

This is brilliant. Truly a sign that Bolan was on his way back instead of those AWFUL tracks on 'The Final Word' CD which were not final at all and were pretty shocking.

[McDjB1]

Ashton Archer, you Sir, are a fool.

[motellife]

who's singing in this? bowie or bolan? with the poor sound quality it's hard to tell. although i kind of think it's bowie, but we can't be sure.

[agentwilde]

Bowie is singing the lead vocal with Bolan coming in here here and there and Gloria Jones on BV's

[DAVWAVE]

Yes, good ears, but that is Gloria's distinctive screeching, esp at the end of the song. thanks.

[DAVWAVE]

Why the negatives, no one could screech, and screech off key, like Gloria. That was her alright.

[oliverandjohn2]

I wish they had released this

[mashamorgan]

These two legends together could have done some awesome stuff !! love this track !!

[clemencefeld]

always dreamt to listen to this, thanks! and the video is very cool

[20420787]

Das wäre das Comeback für Marc gewesen...

[charliehunter2]

Genau wie "nightclubbing" fuer Iggy Pop, wegen Bowie

[lachybourke]

[matjohnjudge]

Not heard of that one? I do have a copy of the 'Legendary Lost Tapes' tho, if anyone would like a copy. Nice clip btw.
