Inspiration – “David Bowie”
Nov 23rd
One of my biggest influences in life and my art has been the legendary, David Bowie.
I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to David Bowie. He is an amazingly gifted artist whose work has stood the test of time.
Bridging sexuality with art and confusion, David Bowie is an idol to many. His influence on modern music and art is impossible to deny. Everyone from Marilyn Manson to Lady GaGa lists David Bowie as a major influence.
So… how can I share some music of his that you haven’t heard 100 times already?
Rather than focus only on his music, I’m going to share a few of my favorite performances of his.
This is “Hallo Spaceboy” off of the 2003 Reality DVD, one of the best musical DVD’s I have ever seen. The editing manages to match the tone and message of every song and is a work of art all on its own.

This is from the Nine Inch Nails “Closure” DVD that was never released. You can find it on torrent sites though as Reznor leaked it himself.
This is Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie performing “Hurt.” It is unlike any version of “Hurt” you have ever heard so I highly recommend it even for NiN fans who know the song by heart.
Also here is a more traditional David Bowie performance but this performance (Also from the 2003 Reality DVD) really shows his vocal capability. A really amazing performance.
Next time I post music, it will be of a more obscure nature.
Until next time…
