David Bowie.

The inspiration and the elements that David Bowie used from other important artist in that time.

Sid Barret

The first inspiration from David Bowie was Sid Barret from the Pink Floyd. How he had walked away, and how he slowly became mad. This was a huge starting inspiration for David Bowie.

But this was only one character. David Bowie was searching for success, he did this by finding new people and important people in the music would, who he could let himself be inspired by.

The Velvet Underground

In 1971 he went to New York, and David Bowie started to use elements from The Velvet Underground. He started a band. He thought the sound from the Underground was amazing, a mix of rock and avant-garde. With inspiration from the Underground he started with making a rock band with a difference --> 'Hype'. This was the turnings point in Bowies career. He started to make rock music like he had never done. That is why one of the main elements David Bowie had taken from the Velvet Underground was his cool-streetwise rock.

Andy Warhol

(While Syd Barett was still their lead singer.)

What did the Pink Floyd have in common with the Beatles?

The Pink Floyd was a unique group, just like the Beatles. They did their own thing and they were creative on their own way. One of the reasons I think they came very far in the music world is because they didn't use a lot of other artist. They did their own amazing thing that people seemed to like very much. This is also a thing that the Beatles did, I believe. This makes the two groups so unique.

What did they have in common with the the Velvet Underground?

Just as the Velvet Underground the Pink Floyd had periods that they were also very into rock. And just like the Underground Pink Floyd manipulated their stage presentation with the active power of their music.

2 clipssss.

The Who, My Generation

I liked this clip. It starts with the Who group joking around with the presenter. I'm nog offended, even at some moments I thought it was fun as well. Because they start really funny and relaxed I think it is more fun to watch. More fun and more relax. Because of the jokes made you are already paying attention with a big smile on your face. I think this is very fun and well done. The good thing is that when they start singing they are immediately again serious enough to play the song well and still get the crowed exited. In overall I liked the song, only when the lead singer makes some weird sounds in-between when he sings "generation" I don't like. I think it is unclear and the first couple of times you think he is making a mistake. Further the fact that they started breaking their instruments at the end of the song also didn't make any sense to me. I didn't think that it gave any extra's to the performance, I didn't got exited, I just thought it added nothing to the show.

In overal I did like it.

Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing

I didn't like this clip at all. When it started he was talking very soft and I couldn't understand everything clearly. Because of this he didn't get my attention at all. Finally he did got my attention when he really started to play the guitar very good. He even started to do tricks while playing his guitar. I think this was really cool, but I don't know why I still wasn't very interested. I think maybe because he is playing too long. Half way the clip I know that he can play the guitar really good, and I loose my attention.

This isn't really my type of clip and music. I do like good guitar solo's, but this one took way too long so it lost my attention completely.

Also here he had to break his guitar in the end, again I don't know why this is necessary.

I didn't really have a clear reaction, I just got annoyed at some point by the sound and in the beginning I was bored by his talk.

Of the two clips I liked the one from the Who's more because they started with grabbing my attention and I liked that song more.
