Trailblazer. R.I.P. Ziggy Stardust.
OMG REALLY?!?! I didn't see this! How sad! RIP
the labyrinth will never be the same.
I just saw a news broadcast that reflected the family intentionally kept all this quiet until his death.
His music was not my favorite but one must give praise where praise is due.
I can recall a local band in Dallas during the mid-70s that did all his stuff along with Mott the Hoople, etc..............these guys were awesome players and had some of the best PA gear I had ever seen at the time.
Technically, not a tribute band, but very close.
Gretsch USA & Zildjian(What Else Would I Ever Need ?)
He was a little....unique.....but definitely a major influence on rock. Great singer, and I think an all-around good and classy guy. Ziggy Stardust remains one of my all time favorite albums. His duet with Bing Crosby was a classic.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
RIP David.
DAVID BOWIE----------------GREAT
Bowie recorded a final album. Search for Blackstar and Lazarus.

can't believe it. So sad to hear :(
Technique doesn't mean **** if you can't blast beat and spin sticks - Steve Gadd
I loved what I saw of him, I just thought he was an all around original and great person. He bears a striking resemblence to Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth(my biggest influence). Really wish the doctors would buckle down and get to figuring out a cure for cancer already, how many more have to fall to the hands of it before they do something about it?

Memory of a Free Festival , Come and Buy My Toys , Andy Warhol , and Holy Holy
