A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ RUclips. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of RUclips I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on RUclips won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This RUclips channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

"is this Bowies only good song?" 🤣🤣🤣hahahahahaha😂😂oh sweety, you have so much to look forward to 🤣🤣🤣
Truly, I don't go a day w/out him!
We can't laugh too hard he's young he'll enjoy the journey like the rest of us 😁
This guy is not human. He is an alien, arrived to earth just months ago... or he`s the most talented actor/liar I met in my life. Those are the only explanations for a human doesn't heard about Queen, Bowie, Bee Gees... (just joking)
It makes me so happy during these hard times to see you enjoy what I grew up with 💖💖💖💖
Is it weird that I have the Labrynth sound track just for Bowie? Lol I love his voice.
Yes... Vanilla Ice took this riff and tried to pass it off as his own ... got sued for it too.
I think you’ll like the Queen-only Live at Wembley ‘86 version of this, with the insanely energetic crowd... and Freddie starts it all with the best crowd-participation you could possibly ask for. (Part of that performance’s video clips were used in this)
The video you are watching right now is a compilation of Bowie clips and Queen clips overlaid upon the studio track... they never performed it live together.
This was a Mix....as far as i know there was sadly never a live Performance with Mercury and Bowie...
Vanilla ice kinda screwed himself, he makes almost no money when that song gets played cuz he has to split it with queen for the stolen riffs
Fun Fact : Vanilla Ice also got creamed (pun intended) for the *other* side of the single - he used Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” ALSO without crediting. He lost $500,000 to a settlement with Wild Cherry.
that Bowie clip is taken from his performance with Annie Lenox with the band (Queen) during the 1992 tribute to Freddie
I love that he asked if they took the beat from him.
Can you believe Vanilla and producers actually denied stealing this... 🤣😂🤣
Queen was like nope. We going to court
Yup, and his punishment for lying and scheming was a cool 4 MILLION paid to Queen for not just admitting to the tune being the same song (by which sampling their sound) and making a deal out of court. Queen tried to be easy in him and tired to make a deal... But some people just have to learn the hard way. And he didn’t learn his lesson with the other side of that record where he sampled Play That Funky Music White Boy by Wild Cherry and had to pay them $500,000 for using their song without permission in another court battle.
Robert Parissi (Vanilla Ice) is broke today. Terrible business man. He now works in construction, home flipping.
@@NativeNYerChicHK he got what he deserved!
Both David Bowie and Queen have enough top quality songs to keep you going for weeks if not months :)
His name is FREDDIE MERCURY. I'm gonna post this in every single of your Queen reactions until you acknowledged that Queen is a band.
I know that kind of irritated me too. But u have to give him credit for wanting to learn and broaden his horizons.
Does this guy actually read the comments?
^^
@@shmick6079 i have looked for it previously and i don't think he does..never it seems.....
@@helenrussell5634 Yeah, Prince and Bowie. FREDDY ! Like as in maybe read the video you watch kid.
Thought I’d let you know a little bit about the guitarist, Brian May. He has a doctorate in Astrophysics. He was member of the NASA New Horizons team that flew by Pluto. He was a chancellor at Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013. There is an asteroid named after him. He co-founded Asteroid Day with astronaut Rusty Swhweickart to bring awareness to asteroids and how to protect Earth from them. So he’s much more than a singer/guitarist/composer.
Oh yeah, the guitar he plays was build by him and his father when he was a teenager.
His IQ is off the charts! He is in the top 3 of the GREATEST guitarists EVER! He also has a fabulous voice and wrote several of the Queen songs.
The broken mic stand was a Freddie Mercury thing. It happened by accident at a concert and he kept it going :)
He had to keep using it, he moved around the stage too much for any other type.
James: So should I listen to this guy... David... what's his name again?
RUclips: Yes. Definitely yes.
If you want to check out the other textures in Freddie's voice, listen to him hold his own in an opera song beside one of the best sopranos ever: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona
If you want to up your Queen game, check out Who Wants To Live Forever. It's Freddie at his best.
I completely agree with you Mark from Ireland. That is Freddie Mercury at his best
Funny !
Yes, the Highlander soundtrack is awesome!
I'm wearing my Bowie concert shirt right now and happened onto this reaction. Shit....Bowie...really?? Bowie....how do you not know this man?? Well, yes sir you should absolutely go down the Bowie rabbit hole. But pack good you'll
be a while.... yikes.
Yes, he stole the riff & tried to say he wrote it. Had to settle with the Band Queen & David Bowie and give them writing credits. Freddie broke his mic stand early on & liked the freedom it gave him to move around so he kept it. “Now I’m Here” from Wembley 1986 is whole band on fire. Tons of songs to do🔥🔥🔥 Bet you’ll also love “Cool Cat” - very Motown vibe.
Wait. Are you saying Freddie copied THAT excuse of a band?
Under pressure was released 8 years before THAT EXCUSE FOR A SONG
Jack Sparrow needs his rum No, I’m saying VI stole the riff from Queen
@@lynnhoffman247 oh okay then ☺
hey 🙃
Gerald Herrmann 🙃🤗
Its the drummer that got that beautiful high pitch voice
Freddie's trademark use of a bottomless microphone stand came about from a sheer accident. One day during a show, he grabbed the standing microphone & it dislodged from its base. Freddie decided he liked it this way, and kept the look ever since.
When Freddie sings you have to pay attention, you just can't help yourself. He had incredible range and talent.
Nobody would have ever heard of Vanilla Ice if he hadn't ripped this riff off without crediting Queen.
If you’ve ever heard We Will Rock You then you already know Queen.
Also, what you heard here is the studio version. Someone mashed up two different concerts to make it look like Queen and Bowie were on stage together. This was never performed live with both artists present. They were both recording their own stuff in Switzerland at the same time once so they got together and wrote/recorded this song for fun.
Is this Bowie's only good song??? ROFL.....LETS DANCE!!....and a dozen more
He has atleast a hundred great songs.
Fame
thirty2wins Bowie wrote the” man who sold the world “
Heroes
Golden Years!
QUEEN "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" It's one of their GREATEST SONGS EVER
David Bowie - Fame
You’ll know it instantly
Two of the GREAT voices in Rock & Roll, and one of the best complementary collaborations ever.
Queen we will rock you and queen we are the champions.
When Freddie first began with Queen, he found himself on stage with a mic that wouldn't come out of the stand. He practically had to rip it off...he considered it a good luck omen in a way, so he carried that unconnencted thing around with him at many future songs.
Oh man David Bowie is definitely someone you should check out!!! Let’s Dance, Modern Love, and Fame would be some good ones to start off with. Also volume balance was much better on this video!
China Girl, Blue Jean, Rebel Rebel, Starman, Heros - I don't really remember anything on any of his albums that were ever mediocre.
Aladdin sane was a brilliant album!.
@@maryknight3405 Never👍😃
Hunky Dory, The Man who Sold the World, Lodger , Stationtostation , I mean I could keep going.....
Brad Viviviyal you lost 100% credibility with the travesty “completelty”
Vanilla Ice said he changed the rhythm so it wasn't stealing! Courts disagreed.
Actually, the case never went to court, nor did he have to settle out of court.
How?
He BOUGHT the RIGHTS to it. Mr. Van Winkle now owns the rights to Under Pressure.
OMG! Wrong royalty at 7:40! "Prince and Bowie"! Ba wa ha ha ha!
@@greenpeasuit He didn't buy the rights. He paid a lot of money to Queen/Bowie to continue using his song. But the rights still belong to David Bowie estate/Queen Productions.
@@janematthews3394
it isn't that hard to google, you know. societyofrock.com/vanilla-ice-reveals-how-he-dodged-under-pressure-lawsuit-queen-fans-are-furious-about-it/
@@greenpeasuit Hmmm and you are going to believe a known liar and thief and merely take him at his word?
At best, he is embellishing the story with 'alternative facts' to put his own spin on things and at worst is just lying and talking shit.......An arrangement was made to agree to the publishing rights being shared and Bowie and Queen also have songwriting credits on Ice Ice Baby.
Queen Live Aid 1985 Hq greatest 20 minutes in live rock.
RIP to two awesome singers
Please react to David Bowie "Fame" and "Golden Years".
You will NOT be disappointed!
"The show must go on"
One of the greatest displays of Freddie's 4 octave+ range
A queen song I would highly recommend: Show Must Go On. Not only is it an amazing song, but the story behind it is amazing as well. Freddie Mercury (the lead singer) was dying of Aids, he was barely able to even stand anymore. He walked into the studio like a boss, said "lets do this" and recorded his last song ever...in ONE take. Legend.
David Bowie’s is a must I recommend you start with his song Life on Mars.
Especially with that surreal video
Best go all the way back to major tom first then work through the decades.
Yes.
Life on Mars actually makes me cry EVERY TIME!
2 legends performing together.
Five legends performing together
"Please god give us Freddie Mercury back, you can have Justin Bieber instead"
What the hell would God want with Justin Bieber?
And all the mumble rappers for bowie, tupac BIGGY etc.
And David!
As a Canadian, I would like to apologize to the world for Justin Bieber. WE'RE SORRY!!
Send back Freddie, Bowie, Prince, John Lennon, George Harrison, Whitney Houston and Glenn Frye. In exchange, the good Lord can take all of the Kardashians and Real Housewives.
Oh, the privilege of hearing Freddie Mercury and David Bowie sing together!
For Bowie songs, I’d recommend: Changes, Fame, Wild is the Wind, Golden Years, oh and then some titles from his last album he recorded right before he died. Great videos for Blackstar, and Lazarus.
Let's Dance.
Heroes???
@@bcpr9812 His stuff from the 80s is not my favorite...
Lazaras video has same effect as hurt by johnny cash. Swansongs
Ziggy Stardust, Young Americans, Starman, Space Oddity...
David Bowie is amazing! He’s an icon and an inspiration for so many artist today, def recommend checking out his music Rebel Rebel, Heroes, and Life on Mars are just a few of my personal faves of his, love to see ur reactions to them
Queen - “Don’t Stop Me Now”
Queen - “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions”
Impromptu at 1986 Wembley will demonstate that note and then some. Freddie AND Roger, the drummer both have a 4 octave range
Queen has so many great songs, I doubt you'd find much to dislike, and many to hear with pleasure.
Queen bassist John Deacon was playing around and came up with the famous beat when the band was meeting with David Bowie and the rest is history.
The thing that irritates me about the comments from some older people about reactions from young people is that they seem to be laughing at the young person for not knowing anything about, for example, David Bowie. There was a time when no one knew about David Bowie. The whole point of this channel is that he is learning about new types of music. I think it’s brilliant that he has now discovered a brand new artist to him, one of the greatest artists of all time. Also, imagine never having heard any David Bowie songs before. Imagine being able to learn it all from the very beginning, and see it all for the very first time - I am completely envious of that!
If I could hear Station to Station,Diamond Dogs,Aladdin sane,Ziggy,Blackstar, Low,well,all Bowie for the first time again,the magic he had. Yes it would be epic. I have to say though,I still get those feelings on the 1000th listen.
You're right! I love it when younger people appreciate the music I grew up with. I don't understand those who choose to shame the following generations of fans!?
As an older person here...65 years young... I'm not laughing... I have a huge smile on my face because you're experiencing this as new music... and I love it! Keep listening to all music this is what makes and keeps the world going round!
Right on Robin!
@Master Carbuncle some of it may be light hazing. Some of it is just bad tempered and rude.
Give Freddie a day off, because that was a sick note! Plus, I love that you (twice) referred to them as Prince!
That microphone thing is Freddie's. At a very early concert, might have been before they released their first album in 1973, somebody didn't tighten the telescopic thumbwheel and after he started singing, he grabbed the stand, and it fell apart. He did not stop singing and the band did not stop playing. That's the kind of things that make Freddie one of the best live performers ever. He kept the mike stand that way.
Life on Mars and Starman are 2 of my fave songs from Bowie
+1 for Starman. That whole album is one of the best from start to finish honestly.
Kind of Magic good one from Queen. And yes! David Bowie was a towering creative genius so well worth listening to. Thx James, good reaction as always.
This came out as a #1 hit in 1986. This was put out five years before anyone knew Vanilla Ice existed. It came about when Queen Bass Player John Deacon created the riff during a jam session with his Queen bandmates and David Bowie. Unfortunately, I don't think they ever did a live collaboration as Queen split for a couple years and only toured for about a year before Freddie's illness turned them into a studio band. They remained in the studio and making videos until his death in 2001. After his death, Queen's Innuendo album won a British music award.
RIP David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. You know they are both chilling with God and having some really great jam sessions. The mic for Freddie was more of a comfort thing than anything else. I guess his security blanket. Vanilla Ice did steal this from them.
HA HA... "is this his only really good song". Bowie's career spanned from the late 1960's to 2016 when he passed away. He has a song catalog most artists can only dream about.
I've been trying to get other reactors to do a trilogy of David Bowie videos but so far no takers. The concept is this... David's first #1 single in 1969 had a character called Major Tom. That character showed up in two other songs over the course of his career. If you react to all three you can see how that character changed over time. So start with the first one called Space Oddity...
ruclips.net/video/RRCKPAHUorI/видео.html
Then look at Ashes To Ashes from 1980. Major Tom takes a bad turn in this one...
ruclips.net/video/HyMm4rJemtI/видео.html
The third song closes the chapter on Major Tom. It also closes the chapter on David Bowie since this is from the last album he released... just two days before he died. He recorded the entire album knowing he was dying btw. This one is called Blackstar...
ruclips.net/video/kszLwBaC4Sw/видео.html
And the Michael C Hall tributes are epic! ruclips.net/video/1S4WRaSyfZM/видео.html
Homebrew58 yes yes ❤️✌️
ikr! i was like, child, brace yourself! I hope he sees this and does the trilogy!
Don't Stop Me Now is another great Queen song. Ice Ice Baby was sampled Under Pressure by Vanilla Ice without Queen's permission and he got sued by them as a result!
David Bowie is another musical legend. His career spans close to 50 years, and he's got dozens of hit songs. In addition, David Bowie's music spans a lot of different genres, as he liked to switch things up so as to not ever be stale. When he died of cancer a few years ago, the world lost a true musical genius.
Bowie + Queen= excellence...
“The note of my whole life!” 💕
Queen Live at Wembley is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.
This is an awesome fan edit video. This was a studio duet. They never performed it live together. RIP Freddie & David.
Freddie was the greatest frontman in Rock 🤘🎧
David Bowie is a legend, but I don’t know if you’re ready for him, TBH. It’s easy to start in the wrong place.
If you do Bowie, “Space Oddity” is a good introductory song, and then if you like it do something off the “Ziggy Stardust” album.
And, please man ... the band is called “Queen”, the singer is Freddie Mercury.
Yes space oddity is great
Keep the Queen coming. Any of their live Wembley performances, all are amazing
So happy you reacted to this song ,love your reaction. Both queen and Bowie are legends
Most people don't realize that Freddie was an Indian Parsi from Zanzibar Africa. He's a brother. JS
David Bowie... All his songs are hits.
His first show he was trying to fix the mic stand and it came apart and the show must go on, so he sang the show with half the stand still on it, so he had his mic stand that way EVERYTIME he sang.
You can never go wrong with Freddie! His talent, not to mention the talent of the rest of the band never fails to amaze me! David Bowie as others have said is a must. I recommend starting with Space Oddity but he has a great catalogue of songs.
Freddie broke the microphone in the early years and found he actually liked it with the pole part in it. Became his signature.
Thankyou! Nice to see the band Queen: love this song with Bowie, still actual today. I suggest Queen Who wants to live forever live at Budapest, also used in the movie Highlander. Freddie Mercury was a once in a lifetime performer. Much bless dear ❤
Some more Queen songs, A Kind of Magic, Who wants to live forever, Another one bites the dust. Queen has a lot of good songs.
You poor sweet summer child, everything from both is good.
Give me goose bumps!!! Bowie and Queen - such an brilliant combo! Both epic artists!
Another One Bites the Dust
David Bowie's "Space Oddity" or "The Man Who Sold The World"
Well then he's gonna have to do Nirvana's cover of that!
@@dipsydoodle7988 I love both versions.
David Bowie is an icon in the world of music! A Pure Genius!
I love you getting with Queen and our beautiful Freddie!! Please watch the Wembley live set! Much clearer and you can really appreciate the song! I think you’d like ‘One Vision’. There are several different live shows of each song- each one a bit different as it is live! You can jump in and listen to at least 200 great songs written and sung from Queen! All of their songs are written by the band. Each member- Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for writing #1 hits! The only band to do it! All are college graduates. Brian- the lead guitarist is quite famous. He is also an astrophysicist. Roger and Brian still your to this very year. In their seventies!
It does sound like, “Ice, Ice Baby” because Vanilla Ice ripped off the into from Queen. He originally said he didn’t, but had to come clean that he stole it after representatives from Queen & David Bowie threatened a lawsuit. The matter was eventually settled out of court.
My favorite David Bowie song is Let's Dance you should react to that one it's a good one.
Rebel Rebel, Changes, Blue Jean, Fame, Young Americans, Lets Dance, Major Tom, you can't go wrong with Bowie!! 💖💖
Queen, Don't Stop Me Now
You'll love it, another stellar performance
if you want another good one with David Bowie,.. then look for Dancing in the Streets.
"Do you guys think I should listen to this other guy, David, or is this the only good song from him?"
Oh, Sweet Summer Child...
You need to watch Queen's live aid. Best 25 mins of live music ever!!!
it sounds EXACTLY like that. which is why vanilla ice got sued, lol. p.s. co-vocalist on this is david bowie, pale man, fair haired, GENIUS. omigods, you so SHOULD listen to bowie. my favorites are "ashes to ashes" and "heroes" and "modern love," but there are SO many more.
Yeah vanilla ice got the 💩 sued out of him for sampling that
I subbed today so you have to react to Pink Floyd 'great gig in the sky'... with headphones on! Trust me!
He so stole it. Love Queen and Love Bowie. There are so many songs, can't wait to watch you continue to expand your catalog of musical experience.
wow! beautiful sweet Freddie!
This is one of the best songs ever recorded!
Now I'm here live at Wembley 86 is phenomenal. Also, I want it all official video is a rocker. Freddie's voice can go anywhere
Hey James!! Queen “another one bites the dust”, David Bowie “fame”.
Queen (bands name)
Freddie Mercury- lead singer
Roger Taylor- drums, background vocals
Brian May- electric guitar, background vocals
John Deacon- bass guitar
Have a great day!!! Stay safe my friend 😀
You've found the rabbit hole that is David Bowie's music. Enjoy the ride!
Glad you've been discovering the treasure that I grew up with, been jamming with forever!!! Your responses are indeed dope! He hit the note of your whole life!!! :D Yes, David Bowie has lots of other classics! Amazing men, amazing bands. Music is just amazing.
The song's hook samples the bassline of the 1981 song "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie,[11] who did not receive credit or royalties for the sample.[12] In a 1990 interview, Van Winkle claimed the two melodies were slightly different because he had added an additional note on the "and" of the fourth beat, an anacrusis ("pickup") between odd-numbered and subsequent even-numbered iterations of the "Under Pressure" sample.[13] In later interviews, Van Winkle readily admitted he sampled the song and claimed his 1990 statement was a joke; others, however, suggested he had been serious.[13][14] After representatives for Queen and Bowie threatened a copyright infringement suit against him, the matter was settled out of court, with Van Winkle being required to pay financial recompense to the original artists.[15] Bowie and all members of Queen were also given songwriting credit for the sample.[13]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Ice_Baby
This is one of the best duet ever! Did you know that de lyrics was improvised. They happened to be recording at the same studio at the same week they connected and decided to record this song.
And for the way Freddie holds the mic, see the movie and u will understand why did it that way.
Keep on with the videos! Good job.
Heyyyyy. Love this song
Thank you, James for your reaction.
Shouting from Virginia with lots of ❤️❤️❤️
❤️
I’m glad you stopped, collaborated, and listened to those first few bars
I’m glad you decided you like rock ‘n roll after all! Me too 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Queen's John Deacon wrote that bass riff. Vanilla Ice tried to pass it off as his own and got sued for it.
Freddie always used a half a mike stand. It became his signature prop. Saw them twice in the 80's and the only time Freddie put that mic stand down was if he was at the piano or plating a guitar for Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
Bowie was my first concert in 1976. Check out Queen "I'm in Love With My Car" written and sung by Roger while he kills the drums and Freddie is singing backup for him for a change! It's only a couple mins long. Also, I think I read that Freddie had a 4-octive range, the full range of a piano!
Two geniuses at work here... Both Queen and David Bowie have huge catalogs that are absolutely worth exploring.
This version, which I like, is the studio recording meshed with two separate performances. Queen live Montreal (the live version is awesome) and David Bowie (BowEE) at the Freddie Mercury Memorial concert. A fan put this video together. And yeah, that was Freddie hitting that outrageous note.
Vanilla Ice had to have been a toddler when this song was written. Queen took him to court and he negotiated a deal where he bought the rights to use Under Pressure. Smart man. Best decision he ever made, he said.
Vanilla Ice got the beat from Queen/Bowie. This is a due of 2 great British artists who I believe were both classically trained in London. Incidentally one of the greatest Persian/Iranian rockers is Queen. He was a Briton of Persian descent. Both parents were from Iran. Listen to David Bowie - he has his own list of great songs.
Bowie is a trailblazing legend. There are wayyyy too many songs to list, but the album put out after he died, Legacy, has 40 songs, and that’s by no means all of them. You can’t go wrong.
Freddie was incredible! I'm not a huge fan of Bowie, but he was a musical genius. Just because I'm not a huge fan of his work doesn't mean I can't recognize his genius.
WOW shocked at you asking if Bowie is worth listening too 😱
Oh, you're so young. Lol. 🙂
1. Since Vanilla Ice was 14 when this song came out, he sampled the first part and got into a whole lot of legal trouble.
2. David Bowie was a LEGEND. "Let's Dance". Was big and his duet with Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones "Dancin' in the Streets" is my favorite. It talks about summer's here and it's time to dance. A perfect song for this time of year.
3. David was married to the beautiful model, Iman for 24 years. Sadly he passed away in 2016.
(Since you asked).
I can't find any newer episodes of your channel. Am I missing something? I think you're great!! ❤
BTW...Queen is the band. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer (yellow jacket).
Try Queen. "Fat Bottom Girls".
