the vinyl remaster of that mix is bitchin' tho, hardly any distortion in the mix anymore so it's still raw and loud, but not to the point where it hurts your ears and makes you wonder if you're going to get tinnitus even from Gimme Danger

Yeah the Iggy mix on CD is a joke. I'm glad I tracked down the deluxe edition with Bowie's mix.

I have all 3 mixes, and the Bowie mix is brutal, like he had no idea, what it was supposed to sound like, this wasn't singer songwriter stuff, and people want to boast that Bowie somehow influenced punk music.

Just listen to New York Dolls, Ramones etc. Ramones even used the bassline in Hang On to Yourself for a song on their debut.

well it is debatable that the Dolls are a punk band, or something alltogther different. Except the glam look, the dolls were everything Bowie was not. Most punk bands were trying to get away from the glam thing that Bowie and Bolan started. Punks did not want to be rock stars in the tradition sense, the way Bowie and others from the early 70's were. Unaware of the Ramones bassline thing, not sure that means they were influenced by him though, I mean Priest covered Joni Mitchell songs, however I highly doubt that they would list her as an influence to them

The fact is many punk bands did cite Bowie as an influence.

had this exact convo with this dude the other day and gave a couple of examples from the early LA scene, at which point he pleaded ignorance to the existence of said scene and returned to arguing that it was impossible for bowie to have had any influence punk. LOLZ


i think it's pretty interesting actually how much residual glam influence there was on some punk bands. it makes sense when you realize a lot of it was transgressive rock n roll for its time and a refuge for weirdos. plus cool riffs. some punks first exposure to that kind of stuff would've been through a t-rex show or whatever

still waiting for you to tell me anybody in "early" punk that came from L.A. was not playing ignorant, not quite sure there was such a thing

ok the Germs, I thought of one, whatever maybe the LA scene was, who knows, my point all along, is the the east coast or english punk band from the mid to late 70's had many more deeper influences than Bowie, I like Bowie, but but besidses for screwing up raw Power not sure what else he could of done
