It's been 6 years since I've first watched this video and I agree through and through. Probably one of the greatest performances on RUclips for that matter and I still don't know why
Personally, I don't know much about David Bowie, except that he was a super cool guy who's most famous for his songs and all, so when I heard that he had passed away, I went back to this video and started to cry for no reason except that he seemed like an incredible and inspiring man.
Wag Kat.....as a 40 year fan I will say it's nice to see a younger generation interested in looking back, listening and the understanding why he's such a great talent. I'm sure since his death there are many who've become serious fans as I did when I first head him all those years ago. He is an artist I never grew tired or "grew out: of like some of the artists I've liked over the years. He had a maturity to his music that allowed you to grow with him. There is something for everyone which was one of his strong points and again a reason he has so many fans all over the world.
*circa 2002* Patrick Stump: So, can I be the band's drummer? Fall Out Boy: No, but you can sing. Patrick Stump: lol ok Patrick Stump: *inadvertently becomes greatest singer alive*
I've been playing guitar for over a year now and this song is the hardest song I've ever tried to learn. Other FOB songs are pretty intense too. Him being able to sing like this while playing a song that has upwards of 20 chords is something that shouldn't be underestimated.
First of all, how can you thumbs down this video? Even if you are a fan of the original, I think Bowie himself would give Patrick a thumbs up. Second of all, my god Patricks voice and the guitar, what a perfect marriage. Very powerful. Love this video so much I have been watching it at least twice a day every day for the past two months and will continue to do so forever!! lol
Like, I am totally obsessed with Bowie (lol I'm 15) and I think it is very difficult to cover Bowie, but Patrick with his amazing voice did it fucking well! Bowie appreciates people covering his songs, just as long as they don't copy it. like probably all artists but anyway.
The times I have cried the hardest in my life are always when I hear Patrick singing. This is so so beautiful. I have replayed this 15 times. And obviously still crying.
i still go back to this cover sometimes for comfort lol. i’m much older now and more mature than i was when i first obsessed over this, but it’s still so good
I've never been a huge fan of Fall out boy, but I've also never understood where ANY of the hate for them comes from(Their covers aren't always the best but at leased they've got decent taste). After watching this though: FUCK this guys got talent! Regardless if you love or hate their sound, you can't deny brilliance as musicians.
If anyone says there's no good singers these days, show them this video. BBC radio got it bang on in the description, this is simply breathtaking. THIS is why I love Patrick's voice.
I was searching for Life on Mars covers and had a vague thought in my head: "oh I hope Patrick did one, he's got a good voice" and I'm literally so happy right now
If you haven’t t already seen it check out Patrick’s vocals on ABC performing live Under pressure - Queen & David Bowie omg it’s mind blowing. He performs as both artists, honestly this man is just amazing 🤩🎤👌🏻
My god, the little hum vocalizing part at the end did me in. Ridiculously talented, don't care what anyone says. Damn. From Evening Out With Your Girlfriend to this... I'm slow 👏👏👏👏
Unfortunately when Fall Out Boy got less punk and more experimental, they got slapped with that big “sell out” label, and broke up shortly after before coming back and going full pop. So many people have never heard Patrick’s best performances, because he’s most famous for either his radio pop or pop punk. But FOB always made music that is authentic to them, check out “Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown” if you wanna hear what they can be capable of when truly inspired :))
brothers and sisters we are gathered here today to mourn the death of everyone who patrick killed by playing this. myself included. may we rest in peace.
i've been coming back to this for many many years
Sammmeeeee!
Though this is just a cover, I think it's one of Patricks best performances ever. So beautiful and moving
It's been 6 years since I've first watched this video and I agree through and through. Probably one of the greatest performances on RUclips for that matter and I still don't know why
Every cover by him becomes my next favourite song by him ❤
probably one of his best vocals to date... dear god is this man even human?!
I don't know.... I don't think he is because his hand came off 3 times and he still has it. 😂
Personally I think he performs better than this in the Soul Punk era.
is this the fall out boy?
"NO THIS IS PATRICK!"
:)
Lol
I was mid singing when this made me fucking snort
@@bones13iscool34 exACtly same
LMAO
No,i mean, it's Pete Wentz from My chemical romance
I don't listen to Fall Out Boy but now I have changed my mind this fucking dude right here has one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life
I know this comment is old as balls, but, same!
@@happymadison1978 and still amazing after a4 years lol
He is the freaking best and the sweetest boy 🥲
@@mafiafpv3469 have you listened to their whole discography?
@@micahjermainegarcia2913 no I haven’t wow this was 5 years ago dam lol
And that is why Patrick is one of the vocalists of a generation. The power and pitch accuracy behind the high notes is immense. Total win!
best performance he's ever done. hands down.
hey I'm actually subscribed to you, awesome to see you in the comments!
+Brian R Cifuentes haha so did I lol
ikr
He has the voice of an angel and this performance clearly shows it.
Infinity on Hannah AGREED 100%
How did such a big voice come out of a tiny person like Patrick dear lord
this song is insanely hard to play on guitar, and this song is insanely hard to sing. Patrick did both while making it his own. God bless this man.
zoeyvlogsify piano's even harder. It's hard to get the sound, but that's how all of Hunky Dory is.
Agreed this is extremely simplified chords
Totally simplified way of playing it to be fair. Guitar part isn’t the greatest.
zoeyvlogsify absolutely.
zoeyvlogsify it is legitimately not hard to play this on guitar what so ever
tbh i feel like that 'Pete Wentz screaming in the distance' gif is totally relevant rn
Caro Nicole the gif of Pete falling
Caro Nicole as we ask her to focus on pETE WENTZ SCREAMING IN THE DISTANCE oh man

+Amira Syafiqah what a beautiful comment awe
Cool 👍
I didn't cry at first, and then I did research, and everytime I watch anything David Bowie related I want to cry. He was truly great person.

If you knew how many more beautiful songs he wrote.
I love Patrick's covers because he individualises them while retaining their original beauty and magic.
*circa 2002*
Patrick Stump: So, can I be the band's drummer?
Fall Out Boy: No, but you can sing.
Patrick Stump: lol ok
Patrick Stump: *inadvertently becomes greatest singer alive*
big mood for all the good bands
Joe meets Patrick, and he's like, "Yo, I know about music"
And Patrick's like "Yo, i know more about music"
This comment may be true now since Bowie is dead now.
And patrick was on the drums for some fucking reason
Those power notes steal my heart every time. Like that one at 2:47. It's gorgeous and my heart swoons at this man's talent and range.
Welcome back to the video 🙂 I’m pretty sure that was an accidental voice break that he just went with 😂 what a guy👌
I've been playing guitar for over a year now and this song is the hardest song I've ever tried to learn. Other FOB songs are pretty intense too. Him being able to sing like this while playing a song that has upwards of 20 chords is something that shouldn't be underestimated.
it is Bowie's song, not theirs. just remember.
I know, but to be able to replicate it with such precision is something to be commended.
Chantal Assals From a musical standpoint, it is not Bowie's song. It was taken from a french pop song. They are Bowies lyrics however.
It is his song, the plagiarism has been denied.
...It's a song about plagiarism
oh
my
god
what is life I'm crying so much
Same 😫😭😭😭😭😭😭 If only we could meet them. 😔 I bet we would be very good friends. 😂😂
Don't cry
No... Actually cry cause this is fcking beautiful
Don't cry, craft

I totally love the fact that you are 15 and obsessed with Bowie. Music is timeless, especially good music like Bowie's.

Some people might hate this version. Respect others' opinions. Get your shit together, Brenda.
@@y61mean Lol
That "Life on… Maaars!" simply nearly killed me.

Just seen them live in Ga a couple of days ago… Patrick is a fu*king treasure❤
It’s 11 years later and I’m still in awe over this cover. I consistently come back and listen. Patrick absolutely killed this. 😭😭
i still go back to this cover sometimes for comfort lol. i’m much older now and more mature than i was when i first obsessed over this, but it’s still so good
Watching this after David Bowie died. Rest in peace.
As a FOB fan and a HUGE Bowie fan, I had no idea this existed. I cried a little.
He died after hearing this. "My life is complete now. Cease heart pump"
this is one of patricks best vocal performances ever he is impossibly talented
how is his voice even that beautiful??!?! like oh my god patricks voice is actually the best thing ive ever heard ever.
Patrick I love you.

Ive watched this an ungodly amount of times
same
Coming back to this video years after I first watched it... Patrick's performance is what made me discover and fall in love with Bowie's music
Patrick does this song justice. Him and Bowie are both legendary. This is beautiful. Rest in peace❤️.
this needs to be marked in the archives of greatest covers. Bowie would be proud!
He's...so...good...his voice is literally angelic
I like how they put "Fall Out Boy" instead of "Patrick Stump" because that's totally logical!
Lol idk probably for more views
True, I for one would not know that Patrick Stump sings is Fall Out Boy.
noah seriously
Because Patrick is 1 whole Fall out Boys
FOB was promoting their comeback and newest album (at the time), not putting the name of the band would be the weird publicity thing.
Wow has this guy gotta a hellova voice.
I will do that as soon as I have a chance.

I know that this is years ago but I just wanna say that I still watch it coz I'm still amazed by him up until now.
He's got such a beautiful voice
I may not necessarily appreciate Fall Out Boy's latest contributions, but damn this is a good cover of one of the best songs ever made.
I know right! 😝

Sexual orientation: Patrick hitting high notes. Or low notes. Or any notes. Or just Patrick.
yeah, just pattycake
Patrick-sexual it is
Oh man, I didn't realize how much I needed this. Wow! If only Patrick had had a chance to work with Bowie.
Patrick has such a gorgeous voice.
I have watched this so many times. Its gorgeous, wish wish it was on Spotify
I was searching for Life on Mars covers and had a vague thought in my head: "oh I hope Patrick did one, he's got a good voice" and I'm literally so happy right now
Never got into emo music but always recognized he could legit sing great and had talent. Really nice to hear this

I'm crying because why not, this cover is awesome, this song is awesome, David Bowie is awesome...rest in peace...
Patrick is so talented and did such a good job covering this song and Bowie is a legend so this is literally like the best thing ever
one of the few people to cover this out and hit the high notes. Good job.
I love David Bowie, but this is the best cover I've heard of this song!
This is beyond perfect
I will fight anyone who says Patrick can't sing
He sings very well but he has this problem with not understanding the least of what "Life on mars" is supposed to mean
Antonio Vlassa David Bowie’s song’s have been made to be giving a meaning
he can sing well enough, he just chooses to do it badly, often, like here, except in the verses
lol! me and you both
I was going to like this, but I decided not to because of the number of likes it has.
This is so very beautiful. Patrick is a beautiful vocalist :)
My favourite song performed brilliantly. I can't hate.
This Bass/Baritone has an almost perfect mix voice when singing those middle notes. He's so talented I can't even comprehend how he isn't more famous.
Patrick is a tenor tho.
Unfortunately when Fall Out Boy got less punk and more experimental, they got slapped with that big “sell out” label, and broke up shortly after before coming back and going full pop. So many people have never heard Patrick’s best performances, because he’s most famous for either his radio pop or pop punk.
But FOB always made music that is authentic to them, check out “Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown” if you wanna hear what they can be capable of when truly inspired :))
cant help but admire him and everything he done! PURE ARTIST
It's. So. Beautiful. I. Can't. Even.
dear lord have mercy.
his voice is perfect.
Time to rip this to a CD so I can own it forever
Could never get tired of this , go on son
Holy smokes! What a beautiful voice he has!
i love patrick's voice so freaking much
Fantastic Rendition!
