If You Could Bring Just One Musician Back to Life...

I bet, given the cancer being taken away, he would have surprised us in ways we can't even imagine. Damn I miss that guy.

The only reason I'd bring him back would be so that he can finish the intended follow up to Blackstar. I wonder what he had planned for that.

But without the terminal illness I think he would have just made a couple more records ala The Next Day (which is fine but it's not Blackstar).

Well they were working on a musical based on Lazarus, as reported in my thread, and I'd love to have seen how that would have turned out. Bowie was so unpredictable I think it would be impossible to say what new trends he might have inspired, or what new image he might have come up with. At the very least, we'd have had more music from him. Talk about the day the music died...

Actually, that was completed before he died! Enjoy checking it out

The musical was finished? He attended the premier about a month before he died.

Have you heard the No Plan EP?

Yeah, it was OK.

I want to know what would have been on that album though, and what the five tracks were that were recorded. Reckon we'll get to hear them?

The way whoever's manning the helm now is going, I think so, although perhaps not for a while. All these box sets are rad.
