In all seriousness, aged 7 in 1985 that was pretty much the first time these two had appeared on my radar.


And much as I like lots of Stones, and some Bowie numbers, I basically haven't been able to like either of them ever, because the 7 year old me found this video disturbing.

As in you liked or disliked Tin Machine? I think the first album is actually rather good... maybe even a "must listen" for aspiring rock guitarists..

Tin Machine has become a lazy shorthand for "disastrous rock star moves" and whilst I wouldn't try and convince anyone of them being great, there is plenty to like on there if you are so minded


Plus it banished his yuppy 80s persona to the dustbin and for that alone, I'm grateful

I thought it was pretty obvious at the time that the whole DITS thing was a hastily put together pi$$ take, and just as hastily forgiven as it was for charidee. Perhaps a cue for Ot's next musically inspired thread...are there any critically acclaimed charidee records out there?...

> has anyone *not* collaborated with Brian Eno?!?!


True, but the My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts album was an early one from '81 and was quite pioneering and influential in the case of sampling, found sounds and electronics etc etc, blah blah blah.


Bowie & Iggy Pop have worked together a lot - Low, The Idiot, Lust For Life and on Blah Blah Blah.


Here's a live one with Bowie on keys and cigarettes.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
