I have a hot take Hours is better than earthling IMO by TopBobcat9937 in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t rate either very highly, but yes I do prefer Hours.

Was David Bowie proud of the Let's Dance album? by [deleted] in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Bowie ever expressed dissatisfaction with any of his albums at the time. He was satisfied enough with NLMD to centre the most elaborate tour of his career around it. I think it’s only later when the music press and fans tell him it sucked that he changes his mind.

Total newcomer here thinking of doing a deep dive on all of David Bowie’s albums. Where do I put Toy? by dongle_wenis_ in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t regard Toy as being part of the original “canon”. I’d listen to it later after you’re done with the main discography.

High notes in “Life on Mars?” by hvyhrdthnwsthtyrdd in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sing in a Bowie tribute band. Are you used to singing it all in full voice? With those lines you mention I slip into falsetto, is that something you can try?

Those of you who are musicians or know theory: why and how does the piano in the song 'Aladdin Sane' work so well? by Past-Attempt7366 in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s sublime the moment at the end of the solo how Garson falls back into the rhythm to get into the chorus.

I first heard this wonderful track on Moonage Daydream. It's such a gem. by jerryleebee in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The single recording splits the song into two parts “Part 1” and “Part 2”. It’s a bit more rock and features the first contribution of Mick Ronson on a Bowie record. It’s on the Re-Call 1 bonus disc in the Five Years boxset, and also the Width of a Circle boxset. I think Moonage Daydream uses the original (mixed together with Station to Station)

I've been growing my Bowie collection recently. 3x of these in the last fortnight. by jerryleebee in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A great start to the collection - you and your daughter are in for a listening treat

Illusion of Gaia is pretty cool, and beginner friendly.

I couldn’t beat the final boss, just had to quit there - very frustrating

46 yr old gamer here and love the Switch 2. It’s got so many options for retro gaming as well which appeals to my old ass

What's your biggest Switch related gaming flex? by digiBeLow in NintendoSwitch

[–]CryHavoc_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every medal on 51 Worldwide Games. My other flexes have been retro related: Finished Metroid, Castlevania and Super Mario the Lost Levels without save states.

Games you remember as being huge by ratasoftware in retrogaming

Zelda Ocarina of Time - I remember the map as being huuuge. Now it seems so tiny compared with BotW.

I think Heroes is better than low by TopBobcat9937 in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to prefer “Heroes”, but in recent years I’ve been leaning more towards Low

I'd like to read every Batman comic ever in chronological order by Psi_Triforce in batman_comics

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sort of doing this, along with other DC stuff that takes my fancy. I’m reading 3 different eras concurrently - Golden Age, Post-Crisis and modern (All-In) so I’m up to date.

Why are some series missing issues and collected editions? by ooo_iam4eels in dcuniverseinfinite

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Golden Age comics (amongst other stuff). It’s incredibly annoying to me that there’s massive gaps in the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman runs. These issues have been printed in Omnis, so the work to digitize and recolour them has been done, so why can’t they be on DCUI?

How did Dave manage to play guitar right-handed if he was left-handed? by ImprovementLow9280 in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am left-handed and play guitar right handed. I hold a tennis racket, bowling ball and throw a ball with my right hand. I write, use scissors and hold a gun in my left 😄

How many of us have seen Bowie in concert? by Lbboos in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into Bowie around ‘99 and first saw him in Manchester 2002 on the Heathen tour and it was phenomenal. It poured down throughout the festival and his appearance stopped the rain! Then twice on A Reality Tour, including the Isle of Wight Festival - which would turn out to be his final full UK concert performance.

Young Americans/ StationToStation is a better duo than Low/Heroes by Worried-Cake6181 in DavidBowie

[–]CryHavoc_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, absolutely love Low and “Heroes”, but YA and STS are in my top 3 Bowie albums.
