What blows my mind is that Daniel Johnston wrote all 3 of Silverchairs biggest hit albums before 21. FROGSTOMP, freak Show and Neon Ballroom...Straight lines started to get alil wierd. But hey I like weird. But those kids were absolutely fucken insane musicians for 15 and 16 in Frogstomp.

Love Bowie. However, no one is always anything. Anyone remember why his eyes look different? He went fisty cuffs with one of his mates that left him with a permanent eye damage. Bowie normally retold the story with laughter in his voice. He is a legend. :)

RIP legend!! you're still spreading awesomeness
1st. He was 19 when he wrote & recorded it!?! What?! 2nd. For me, it is one of Bowie’s best tunes. Certainly, for me, in his top five. 3rd. The version that Kurt Cobain recorded for MTV is absolutely amazing, haunting, and one of my favorite songs. I just heard a guy perform it in a bar on Sunday, and I tipped them 10 bucks for it.
There’s always been something about his laugh and smile that was distinct to me. This sort of gleeful madness that was Bowie. It’s quite inexplicable, but it’s always made an impression on me. It was infectious, with a boyish charm even into his old age.
We're all here, for a good time, yet a short time nonetheless... *Although I wouldn't say that I have had a good time, some was, but a lot of it was a living hell, partially because of my own choices, unfortunately..
I don't think that's pride, as someone who's achieved a few things of note that other people don't. It's more a sensation of, "god, was I ever that young and felt that alive?"
Funny how even me, a straight man, really see the beauty of David, Layne, Cornell, etc.. I mean I absolutely love their music, their voices, but there is no doubt they were all super handsome men..
Bowie, pure class. The fact that he wrote it at the tender age of 19 just makes me realise (at the tender age of 54) how we are all on such different paths. At 19 I was still a little boy.
Same here - LoL, had been playing guitar for 7 years at that point, and jamming like 5 to 7 days a week in 3 different bands.. LoL, only to basically throw it all away a decade later -- crazy how many of my friends that would come to hear the different bands play I was in, told me years later that they thought I was going to make it big.. hurts even thinking about it after the waste of talent I am.. Least I'm a good person and a good father to my 9yr old and my 3yr old daughters, at the tender age of 52 I am now 😅
It is a sign of a great artist being able to recognize the artistry of others covering - if not re-imagining - the works they originally created for themselves.
I like that he was able to analyze what specifically about the cover he liked rather than just “I heard it and it was good,”. It’s cool he was able to pick apart how a different perspective of the same song made it interesting rather than just say a catch all statement like “good” or “bad”. Both Bowie and Cobain were true professionals
I've looked up to bowie at a very early age, back then I didn't know what an impact he would've had on me - 23 years later (I'll turn 33 next week) he still has this massive impact on me. In this time, nothing has changed. I'm still this little girl looking up to him - I even have his portrait tattooed on my shoulder. Always in my heart, always under my skin. Thank you for your music, your influence, your inspiration and everything you taught this little girl and the person I am now❤
Nirvana's "Man who Sold the World" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" have become epitaphs for singers that didn't even write them. It's humbling to see both Bowie and Reznor accepting that they may not be fully their song anymore.
But his music? Every bone and fiber of his was serious and, with that, now transcends our sense of mortal time :-) Such a great combo for an amazing human! Glad we have these videos.
It's a very rare thing When I like a cover song better than the original but Kurt nailed it man you could feel it ...and how unbelievable David wrote so elegantly at 19❤
So cool that he misspeaks and says "when [Kurt] wrote it", catches himself, and corrects it to "when he wrote it _again"_ such artistic generosity and an acknowledgement of how much Kurt added to the song through his interpretation
Simply put, GENIUS. Feel so so grateful to have gotten to one of his shows! Too, his selection of band mates over his career is astonishing!!! Sadly, in this interview, I hear his lungs struggling. Despite this, he looks terrific!!! Only hope he wasn’t hurting in any way at this point. Much love to you, your family & former band mates…ALWAYS…❤
Nirvana did such a faithful rendition of TMWSTW, I have the Unplugged CD, and have listened to it so often, that Bowie’s version sounds more like the cover of a Nirvana song rather than the other way around. As a Bowie fan since I was 6, in 1969, that’s simply huge kudos to Kurt and co.
Such a likeable guy. With so many artists people look up to, we end up learning they are or were pretty disappointing persons. I hope that never happens with Bowie, I hope he genuinely was the person he comes across as.
Truly Blows my Mind 🤯 "as Near to a mystical state- he recalls at age 19- while in his '15 minutes of Buddhism!" 😊 Funny - how Articulate this Guy- David Was!

Strangely, Bowie say how another depth to the song is because Kurt Died. That's how I felt with Blackstar, the songs had other meanings until he died and we knew what he was actually singing about, the album took on a new depth
yeah, i liked how he said that kurt had kinda “wrote it again when he recorded it” because that’s exactly what happened. kurt took that song and made it his own to the point where it’s almost not bowie’s song anymore, if that makes sense (no disrespect intended towards bowie by saying that, i’m glad he penned the song to begin with)
My best friend and I listened to a lot of Nirvana, especially the unplugged album. I lost him in 2001 and this song ... "I looked into his eyes 'I thought you died alone, a long long time ago'-" I'll never have a friendship like that again. I miss you J. I wish it was me.
What I will eternally love about Bowie was his support and admiration of younger, upcoming bands. The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips and many, many more were faves of his.
@ThursoBerwick Well we all know Kurt said that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a Pixies rip off.....which obviously is the ultimate compliment. Bowie, in numerous interviews praised them up and down.
@@artlover1477 The most obvious Pixies legacy are quiet verses followed by loud choruses. Pixies loved to mix loud and quiet together in their own way.
Bowie was always a really cool guy, and I wish I had gotten into his music when he was still alive. I feel like I had literally just gotten into Station to Station and then he was gone. Very sad.
I absolutely love Nirvana’s cover of the song and the Bowie original is a classic as well didn’t realize that he wrote the song when he was just 19, that’s really cool
Kurt and David Bowie are well missed. RIP fellows. I hope you are somewhere jamming with Hendrix and Joplin and Lennon and Harrison and Cornell and the such. We lost so much musical greatness this past 1/4 century or so.

⭐️🎶 *The best version of The Man Who Sold The World is the one Bowie did with Clause Nome on Saturday Night Live! If you can find it, it's worth it.* 🎵 🤘🏼⭐️
That was David, he would speak in that eloquent way no matter the turmoil inside his heart. A very focused man. So was Kurt. Both have left us and with that the world lost a little of its brightness.
When David left I was on the road for a job I had. I heard that morning and sat in the car and cried. And I didn’t know I was crying, it just happened. David was an angel who had to return to heaven. He will always be missed.
Hearing that he wrote Man Who Sold The World at 19 is crazy.
I’m turning 20 in November and currently attending my second year at university. Him saying this really made me question what I’m doing with my life😐.
It's not really true. He was about 22
I think he exaggerated a bit. The album came out in 1970, when he was 23, and the song was reportedly written in the studio.
@@theodorbolwiglillieborg1187dw we all grow differently
He actually wrote it. He is more credible than people relying on what is reportedly said. Also Kurt's version is awesome.
A song written by David Bowie in a buddhism phase, which is later covered by a band named Nirvana. That's pretty funny.

you could argue bowie’s life was cut short too, cancer sucks dude… 😔
Or on Mars.
RIP the legend. A true artist.
I love this guy man.
I'm always impressed by how smart Bowie is.
⭐️🎶 *The best version of The Man Who Sold The World is the one Bowie did with Clause Nome on Saturday Night Live! If you can find it, it's worth it.* 🎵 🤘🏼⭐️
I'd never seen this. Thanks for sharing.
Love this man. 💚
Bittersweet; yet fitting❤
That was David, he would speak in that eloquent way no matter the turmoil inside his heart. A very focused man. So was Kurt. Both have left us and with that the world lost a little of its brightness.
Buddhism -> Nirvana-> the man
who sold the world ... everything adds up
His wife, Iman, is also an elvish mystical being with a heavenly beauty. They both could have been in LOTR!😅
Two of my favourite musicians ❤
Bowie was a class act.
When David left I was on the road for a job I had. I heard that morning and sat in the car and cried. And I didn’t know I was crying, it just happened.
David was an angel who had to return to heaven. He will always be missed.
Yeah, I heard the news hit the UK celibrity big brother cast pretty bad
Its a shame they are gone 😢
Genius!🙏🏽rip
