Has anyone seen Basquiat?
Bowie plays Andy Warhol.
He's good and hilarious.

I really prefer glam era Bowie to Berlin era, which aside from Low I'm not too into.

[Kadhi]

So who else rates Heathen as an awesome album?

Not really, im not bashing his music, though i personaly don't like his music at all, but his music is merely an imitation of bowie, cooper and all the shock rock artists of the 70s and 80s. And his whole gothic image(the black and white makeup, the sexual androgyny, etc)seems like it was ripped off from Peter Gabriel in his years with genesis in the early 70s.

[Pregnant With #1!]

You ALWAYS misunderstand me. I sometimes wonder if it's intentional.

I was strictly talking about talent from the standpoint of playing instruments and nothing else. I certainly appreciate the point that Dream Theater are insanely good musicians, though I also hate the music. I also recognize that say, Danny Carey from Tool is an extremely innovative and talented drummer, though I don't really like the music.

I also didn't say Bellamy was not talented. Maybe he is. What I meant was that it is irritating to hear fans say that people like Bellamy are talented merely because they play three or so instruments, without any consideration for evaluating their degree of dexterity on each of the instruments. In other worRAB, I don't think being able to simply play a nuraber of instruments competently makes you "multi-talented", but rather the ability to play a nuraber of instruments really bloody well.

And that is all.


Then that'd make Bowie a talented songwriter, not a multi-talented instrumentalist

[Lonestar_eagle_5]

Unless your standarRAB of "really bloody well" are insanely high, he does. He's a really damn good guitarist and a good keyboardist. The guitar, keyboarRAB and vocals are all a very important part of the banRAB sound. Add to that he's surprisingly really damn good live. He deserves some props.

God I love the solo on that song.
