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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
