No one can deny, that David Bowie has had a huge influence on the hard rock and metal scene. Bowie was an innovator along with Alice Cooper and Kiss in changing the way that live performances are seen today. Love him or hate him, the man has had an impact on the industry. The Rare and Unseen, will not have the same impact, unless you are a die-hard fan.
This DVD is compiled of some rarely seen interviews with the man, dating back to the early 70's and then progressing to the late 90's. The main interview on the disc is from a British talk show (Russel Harty) back in the 70's. The interview is somewhat interesting, but Bowie seemed pretty spaced out. This interview is inner twined with another interview done more recently. I liked how the two were inner twined, so that the comparison could be drawn to the two stages in his career.
A pretty interesting view, though I thought it was curious, that all of Bowie's music was performed by Bowie impersonator Steve Riks (Who?). I guess the production company couldn't get the rights to the original tunes. Who knows?
Bottom Line: A somewhat interesting look in to the career of David Bowie. Though interesting, this one is for diehards only.
