Nov 2, 2008 - No it's the scene setting opener on the Ziggy Stardust LP. The two albums were recorded very close together tho'

Nov 2, 2008 - This might be my favorite song of all time, and I love this version. I also love how stripped down Bowie looks--so much of his Ziggy persona was playing with gender and such, but right here he's not upstaging the music with his looks, which makes the song even more powerful...in my opinion. Thanks for posting this.

Nov 4, 2008 - If 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' was the only album I could listen to for the rest of my life.. I would definitely be OK with that =)

Nov 9, 2008 - When you say he's a knobhead now do you mean you don't like his music these days or that David Bowie - the man - is a knobhead?
MENSDISCOUNTJEANS Says:
Nov 9, 2008 - FIIIVE YEARS!
garethhulin Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - yep...the man ....the man is most definatley a pretentious plagarising of the highest calibre but his music is still great.
manobeats Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - no, your the knobhed, whatever that is. Bowie is still a great musician/artist and humanitarian and i doubt very much he spews verbal cheap shots to anyone who has given as much as he has, thats for lower life forms such as yourself and well me too now! thank you David Bowie for all of the music and art that you gave us, i really do appreciate it.
