I Just Don't Get the Hype

[TomAz]

I don't understand the Bowie-like treatment God receives.

[BlackSwan]

Tom wins.

[GuyInTucson]

I like Bowie's early work Ziggy Stardust or before. Everything after that.... meh.

I can picture a shitload of people on these boards huddling around in a circle jerk and sharing a bottle of lube while watching Labyrinth. The last one to finish has to eat the biscuit.

Amirite or amirite?

[Mr. Fuzz]

I don't care much for Bowie but what time is the circle jerk?

[Gribbz]

Don't knock Labyrinth, Brah.

[amyzzz]

The most shocking thing about Labyrinth is that Jennifer Connelly was not nearly as hot at 16 as she became in her 30's. But I digress.

[crazzz2007]

Why does Bowie = GOD around here? Because no one here has seen him.

[BlackSwan]

For one, Marco has seen Bowie. I'd call you a dumbass, but I hold that truth to be self-evident.

There's absolutely nothing shocking about this. Lots of people look hotter in their 30's than they did at 16.

i'm sure a few people have seen him. my point remains.

Higgybaby has seen Bowie twice.

[GuyInTucson]

Don't knock Labyrinth, Brah.

Bowie gives off the vibe of a creepy serial rapist in that movie

[Gribbz]

Michael Jackson was supposed to play that role. Seriously.

I've seen him live 3 times (same tour though).

[crazzz2007]

I've seen him live 3 times (same tour though).

all the bowie talk here would decline by 90% if he had been touring for the past 5 years. that's my point.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

She looked really great right after though. She is smoking hot in The Rocketeer.

Also, i am bizarrely one of the few here who has seen Bowie live and it was fucking amazing.

[amyzzz]

YES HE WAS AMAZING. THANK YOU.

teamcoachellahellyeah is responsible for 99.9% of the hype around these parts and not just the Bowie hype but because that muthafucker is a hype machine.

[GuyInTucson]

Michael Jackson was supposed to play that role. Seriously.

I remember Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis

From wikipedia -- "The story, which is taken from the Moonwalker film, follows Michael, using various music and dance related abilities, on a quest to save kidnapped children from the hands of the evil "Mr. Big". "

[bmack86]

Bowie is fantastic. Life on Mars is a killer song, all of Hunky Dory is great, and he had such a streak of winners.

[SoulDischarge]

Thanks thread for inspiring me to listen to Lodger. All is redeemed.

[GuyInTucson]

Don't worry you old fuck, I won't interupt your Bowie jack-off session man. Have at it.

[miscorrections]

You know what's not overhyped? That tiger.

[bmack86]

It's interesting that so many new people have such bad taste. It's interesting.

[humanoid]

I've seen Bowie 4 times and the only time he wasn't fantastic was when Downward Spiral era Trent Reznor taught him a lesson

Fuck you. I was at that show, and he was awesome.

[humanoid]

Amy, shut the fuck up

[amyzzz]

I will not!

[humanoid]

sorry, you must
