[edit] Trivia

How bout some trivia? I read somewhere that this was Trent Reznor's favorite Bowie album and perhaps his favorite album over all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.151.122 (talk • contribs)

No prob putting it in if you can substantiate it - just don't recall seeing that anywhere myself. Cheers, Ian Rose 04:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
If you look at Trent Reznors page you will see that it mentiones "Low" but not this one.

I didn't know about the lyric supposedly pointed at Numan. Fascinating. Did this start a feud at the time or was it too vague a thing for Numan to get up in arms about? I know that Bowie praised Numan's music later in his career and without Bowie had a huge influence on Numan's otherworldly songwriting. Timbrocks 22:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

David Buckley quotes Numan as saying he was actually quite chuffed about it, like "Hey, I'm in a Bowie song!" - even if it wasn't complimentary. I'm in the process of updating the Bowie album articles I've largely written to throw in more direct quotes/citations so I might put the whole quote in when I get to this one.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ScaryMonstersBackCover.jpg

Image:ScaryMonstersBackCover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
