David Bowie RIP

[THINWHITEDUKE]

So gutted to hear my musical hero David Bowie has passed away aged 69 years and 2 days, after an 18 month battle with cancer.

My thoughts are with his family and close friends.

RIP THIN WHITE DUKE

He has left a wonderful musical legacy. Rest in peace, David.

Here's a very interesting video: it features producer Tony Visconti [who worked with Bowie a lot] explaining in detail how the piece "Heroes" was constructed—track-by-track—in the studio. Especially interesting is the detail about the lead guitar part (three overlaid parts by Robert Fripp) and the vocals.

Very interesting seeing how it was layered and hearing all the different sounds - things I'd not spotted before. Thanks for posting.
