I was actually lucky enough to see the guy live. Though I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at the time, I caught the Nine Inch Nails/David Bowie tour back in 1995. NIN is my favorite band, so I mainly showed for NIN, but I do remember liking Bowie. They actually did a very different, but kick ass version of "Hurt". It was very unique at the time. The Johnny Cash version was 8 years away at the time.



Of course, I thought he was cool in Labyrinth and as I went into High School my appreciation for his music grew. Also, LOVED all his collab stuff with NIN a couple of decades back (I'm Afraid of Americans, Lost Highway, etc.)

Bums me out, man. I didn't post in the Lemmy thread here, but that was bad (but way more expected) too.

Also, I was just watching a David Bowie special with my parents when I visited them on the 7th. The program was promoting a new album that came out on the 8th. One of the new music videos they showed was Bowie constantly shaking no matter what he was doing and struggling in bed. I thought he was just expressing how he doesn't like being old or something. I had no idea he had cancer. Video makes much more sense now.

RIP David Bowie.

EDIT: Found the new video I was talking about. Absolutely chilling now. He knew.

Wow that new video, that is so chilling.

I'm so sad.
