Bowie was a true gentleman. Morrissey bitched at Bowie after their tour (Morrissey being a lil bitch obviously) and Bowie in return covered his song. So classy. Morrissey aint worthy tying Bowie's shoelaces. "Bowie was relevant in the 70s, now...not so much" Morrissey. Not only it's not true but it oozes jealousy. And the saddest thing is year after year M becomes more and more shit filled. I don't even know if he needs help or a bitch slap...should I feel sorry for him or angry? Spiteful, racist, sad little man who would be nothing without the Smiths. He did release 2 good solo albums, I'll give him that.. And now a question: is there at least one person left in this world who still respects M? It's a serious question... because even my brother who used to be a hc M fan now simply cannot stand his guts and even denies ever liking him lol
David Bowie covered this as a gift to Morrissey, and sung it in that style because he knew Morrissey loved the Ziggy Stardust era. Morrissey himself was deeply moved by the gesture.
November girl................A morrissey "original" song that was in fact written mostly by Mick Ronson based on Bowie's Rock n Roll suicide which Ronson suggested he wrote...and Bowie took credit for. That should clarify it a bit better :)
He didn't "act" like he wrote it, when you write music and produce an album sometimes your band member comes up with what ends up being a big part of the sound of that song. The artist still wrote the song. Now in this case who knows how much was written by whom but it was Bowie s albums at the end of the day and I'm sure if Bowie had of been asked he would have said, "actually Mick had a huge part in the that song" at the time though he wasn't as generous but he was young.
Is it just me or is he totally taking the piss out of Morrissey? The lighter is beyond arch. Epic guitar solo in any case. One of my fave post-Berlin Bowie tracks.
I'm happy you explained that for most people. Morrissey will cover a song and the first thing you hear is, well example,The Jams "That's Entertainment" is so much better than Morrissey's cover of it. I didn't think covering a song was a contest more what you said paying homage, respect.
Mick Ronson produced Your Arsenal, the Morrissey album the song is from a year before this. It lifts "Rock n' roll suicide". Ronson told Morrissey to not worry about copyright issues, as he wrote the chords for that song.
A lot of people think Morrissey is better...what the hell? I know it's his song, but if you're gonna have song that pretty, you better be prepared to sing the crap out of it! Omg Bowie has an orgasmic voice how can you beat that? And even if you could, could you beat the feeling that he put into it? You could but come on, you'd have to actually try. He has a good voice and eveything, but I vote BOO in this case. Bowie is better and I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan, I got feeling out of his, and not Morrisseys.
At Morissey's 2016 Manchester Gig Morissey said, "year of the reaper" he singled out Victoria Wood, Muhammad Ali, Caroline Aherne and Prince but with the conspicuous omission of David Bowie. Nature has not made a man of Morissey yet.
You both have it all wrong. Read Morrissey's book. They were quite fond of each other. I was at this very gig in Manchester - just because you don't mention someone - it doesn't mean you don't love them.
Bolshevik TV you dont mention your biggest idol on a list of artists that died that year? How does that work? Also are we forgetting all the shitty things Moz said about Bowie later on and that a few years back Bowie refused to let him use a picture of them together he wanted to use for the cover of an album? Morrisey may have been talented at some point but hes a human shit stain and Bowie knew it
Bowie wasn't his biggest idol. In his book he bangs on about the New York Dolls far more. They had a petty and odd relationship and that's all there is too it. I'm over it.
That's what I say, Melissa Kelly. My older brother was introduced to Bowie while this album ('Black Tie, White Noise') was being 'mixed down' (final mix). That makes him one of the first people on the planet to hear Bowie's version of this, even before Morrissey.
Yes, Melissa: My older brother was actually in the studio with David Bowie when he first heard his version of this song. Five years later, bro found himself on stage performing for the Clintons at Bill's second inaguaral. He sang the blues for them.
It's more then that, luck: There's something supernatural about it. Five years after meeting Bowie, and hearing his version of this song, my brother found himself on stage at the second Clinton inaguaral, singing the blues.
Correction, Melissa: The song that Bowie was working on, from the 'Black Tie, White Noise' album, when my brother was introduced to him was 'Pallas Athena', not this one (honest mistake; sorry about that). I also had a couple of very close friends who worked for Bowie back during the 80s (they were 'roadies'). 'Pallas Athena' only contains one line: "G-d's on top of it all." Also, at the time my brother met him, David had just gotten a new tattoo (which he showed to my brother). It was on his left ankle; a cattle's skull, and written around it in Japanese was the 'serenity prayer': "G-d grant me the grace to accept with serenity that which I cannot change; the courage to change what should be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference." Yes, Melissa: G-D!
I miss David... but really... this is the worst version of the song I've ever heard. Anyhow, God Bless David... he had a couple good years from 70 to '74 ish. Anyway, who the fuck am I(BESIDES THE SUBJECT)?
Great story about this song. Bowie covered Morrissey's version because it was so similar to the Ziggy era's "Rock and Roll suicide", so Bowie wasn't about to let Moz get away with it. So this song is almost a cover of a cover, and Morrissey was moved to tears about it.
Your Arsenal was produced by ex-Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson. When Morrissey pointed out the resemblance of this song to the Thin White Duke's Glam Rock classic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide," Ronson replied: "I wrote that original piece for Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, so they won't be any legal, comeback."
@glamourennui Morrissey said this in 2008: "He was so important to me because his vocal melodies were so strong and his appearance was so confrontational. Manchester, then, was full of boot boys and skinheads and macho-macho thugs, but I saw Bowie's appearance as the ultimate bravery. To me, it took guts to be David Bowie, not to be a shit-kicking skinhead in a pack. It also seemed to me that his impact was bigger than punk, because he was a one-man revolution."
Moz and Bowie were friends. I'm certain Bowie said : "Moz, I'm going to cover one of your songs, and kill it" Bowie had a sense of humor and he was a dude. A genuine man.
I'm sorry you had to end up singing instead of doing what you wanted to do, but you have been such an angel to us. You help me all the time and you're not even alive anymore. You're my friend and I think your music is trying to tell me something. You said this planet is for the kids and I'm one of the kids. Though I'm 42 years old, I was in high school when you said that to Arsenio. Anyway, your music guides me and you have been an angel. Your music never gets old and still applies to us. Even though the songs are old, the facts in them are not. I applaud everything you've done and helped us with. I consider you my friend and I love you. You're so special to us and you've shown us that we should never give up on our dreams or anything. Way to go. I'm proud of you. After 6 decades, you deserve to rest. Rest fellow Capricorn. I will always listen to your music and try to provide what I can to people. I've already made tons of contributions in my life, but there's never enough as long as you're alive and feel like giving.
Morrissey has a great reputation among his artistic peers - and every bit of it is earned. Can you imagine how it would feel, to have David freakin BOWIE covering one of YOUR songs?
Bowie considered this song to be more or less his song because it's mostly the same construction as Bowie's own song Rock n'Roll Suicide from the Ziggy Stardust album. So, no credit is due in this case to Morrissey.
David Bowie had such magnificent songs that his absolutely unique voice would turn into masterpieces ... the emotion, the feeling he brings to all those songs ... sweeping us off our feet ... such a tremendous loss ... some of his songs became true landmarks of an era ... mostly the 70's and 80's (especially) ... brilliant singer / composer ... RIP dear David Bowie ...
Edgar, my brother met Bowie at the end of these recording sessions in NY. He was invited by Nile Rodgers, not by Bowie, and Morrissey wasn't there at the time.
For me, Moz is the greatest singer/songwriter ever, his voice, lyrics, His sadness, desperation, sarcasm, simply the best, and having Bowie covering him is just amazing
I'm pretty sure Bowie sang this because of "Rock N'Roll Suicide", which the ending of this song sounds like A LOT 😂😂😂 R.I.P. Bowie I ain't madatcha Morrissey ✌️
ohdear671 no, Rock N Roll Suicide and I Know it's gonna happen someday is an excellent Morrissey song, perhaps better than the song it inadvertently ripped off
@@davidcopson5800 Well, i just don´t like this cover-version of David. But that´s MY meaning. I would ever argue with someone about music. Taste is special and sometimes hard to explain, so what? :-)
My love wherever you are Whatever you are, don't lose faith I know it's gonna happen someday to you Please wait Please wait Wait, don't lose faith You say that the day never arrives And it's never seemed so far away But I know it's gonna happen someday to you Please wait Please wait Wait, don't lose faith Please wait Please wait Please, don't lose faith Don't lose faith You say that the day never arrives And it seems so far away But I know it's gonna happen someday Someday to you To you Please wait
AkimboJoe I love this version and I don't know if I want to hear the other one. I don't care if the other person wrote it or not, I'm going to like this version, cause there is no one else's voice that wok sound like his. I do like other singers, but between him and the otber guy, I'm going to like him. I thought he killed it. But that's when I thought it was his song. Even though its not, I still think he killed it.
Morrissey wrote this as a piss take on Rock and Roll Suicide but Bowie decided he liked it so much he recorded it and thus made the parody redundant ,,better luck next time steve hunny...
it is 1993. and David Bowie releases a new album. freed from his contractual obligations from his previous record deal He looks as good as ever, giving those in midlife much to look forward to
The irony of Bowie doing this Morrissey song is that the song Morrissey co-wrote with Mark Nevin is clearly influenced by Bowie's own "Rock and Roll Suicide", the closing song on the "Ziggy Stardust..." album.
David is the one of best singers and artist after Freddie Mercury death...thisi song is great in Bowie version, more than better like Morrisey original version !!!!
@@George-jo9kg - Evan actually was "respecting the legend." You may want to re-read his comment. He is clearly saying that Bowie's voice was not underrated, but quite the contrary, it was always considered one of the top 10 voices in all of rock. (Although Bowie himself claimed to not really like his own voice.)
One of the rarer latter day Bowie vocals where he's at the top of his range throughout the track... pulls this off amazingly well, no doubt, but I wish he had started a key or two lower, then shifting to this upper key to bring it home...
take it easy, i know they are not live. i think the cover sticker says "studio performance videos", or something like that. and by "not music videos" i mean they weren't meant to be shown on MTV, and you won't find it on any music video compilations. it was all filmed (along with 5 other tracks) for this one particular documentary "On Saturday May 8, 1993, at the Hollywood Center Studios in Los Angeles". if you want to see a not "cheap and silly" video, whatch the jump they say video by romanek.
“It’s me singing Morrissey singing me” is what I remember Bowie saying in an interview when he covered this
I do remember that too
Morrissey has always been a genius in his own right
@@leom7
But Morrisey could never say "this is me singing Bowie singing me" !! 😄😊 😀
Bowie was a true gentleman. Morrissey bitched at Bowie after their tour (Morrissey being a lil bitch obviously) and Bowie in return covered his song. So classy. Morrissey aint worthy tying Bowie's shoelaces.
"Bowie was relevant in the 70s, now...not so much" Morrissey.
Not only it's not true but it oozes jealousy. And the saddest thing is year after year M becomes more and more shit filled. I don't even know if he needs help or a bitch slap...should I feel sorry for him or angry? Spiteful, racist, sad little man who would be nothing without the Smiths. He did release 2 good solo albums, I'll give him that..
And now a question: is there at least one person left in this world who still respects M? It's a serious question... because even my brother who used to be a hc M fan now simply cannot stand his guts and even denies ever liking him lol
We miss you. You are the soundtrack of my life. Thank you always, forever and ever.
Since I was 15, 62 years ago. ❤
We will miss you dearly.
Great Singer, David the best artist of all times!
David Bowie covered this as a gift to Morrissey, and sung it in that style because he knew Morrissey loved the Ziggy Stardust era. Morrissey himself was deeply moved by the gesture.
there is a lighter that never goes out
So very true, my Bowie friend
That's a flaming good comment.
Don't ever be afraid to show your lighter
was bowie the most compete artist of his generation? I think so.
Dunno about that, but he was the brightest star by far in the musical space. A genius beyond measure.
Yes.
Incomparable
Bowie covering Moz?!?! OMG I love it! never heard this version before today!
Bowie covering Morrissey in a song where Morrissey covers Ziggy singing Rock N Roll Suicide
bowie covering morrissey's song covering a morrissey original and then procceeding to talk shit as if he wrote the song :))
November girl................A morrissey "original" song that was in fact written mostly by Mick Ronson based on Bowie's Rock n Roll suicide which Ronson suggested he wrote...and Bowie took credit for. That should clarify it a bit better :)

I agree with you, definitely a pisstake, lol.
This cover was a message to Morrissey, an homage to an homage.

That is nonsense. Ronson did not "write the chords" for Rock'n Roll Suicide.
Perhaps the outro of the song? Came across that somewhere, maybe in Morrissey's autobiography.
Anyone else still cry? 😔🤚🏻
Deena Dunderdale yes I do
No, because he would not want that.
Omg ME too 👋🏻!!!!!
2022. Still cryin

Bowie always had great taste in guitar players ...knocked it out of the park TONY
It almost sounds like a Young Americans outtake.
I love the soul that this man puts into everything he does.
I love bowie and morrissey ❤
i hate morrissey
The lighter must be for Mick.
I love that Bowie covered Morrissey, and i know that Morrissey really likes his version. But this is not very good.
And who is playing the heartbreaking guitar? The luminous Mick Ronson. ❤
I take it the lighter was for Mick Ronson? As he played the guitar on this. Ahh the wonderful Ronno!
Now I'm crying
David's voice on this...Wow!
I miss David... but really... this is the worst version of the song I've ever heard. Anyhow, God Bless David... he had a couple good years from 70 to '74 ish. Anyway, who the fuck am I(BESIDES THE SUBJECT)?

You Are!! Right!! About David Bowie, He seems,!! to be!! A Good Man,!! that Respects!!, And is kind!! to people, And people of A Different Race.
Bowie invited Morrissey to hear the cover at a studio in New York, "Linder and I just sat there sobbing with joy"

What a great piece! Just grows and grows to a terrific finale! Thank you David and RIP.

this song slaughters me every time. god bless db
Just as Morrissey murdered Drive in Saturday, David responds with this. Advantage Bowie.
ohdear671 no, Rock N Roll Suicide and I Know it's gonna happen someday is an excellent Morrissey song, perhaps better than the song it inadvertently ripped off
In a world full of plasticity and fakers , David Bowie really was a genius artist.
Yes, very true.
Absolutely.
As was Zappa.
I've always been crazy about this rendition, and still don't understand while it isn't more widely appreciated.
One of the greatest singers of all time, but.....a really bad cover imo!
Only half of your comment is correct. You didn't cover yourself in glory with the last bit.
@@davidcopson5800 Well, i just don´t like this cover-version of David. But that´s MY meaning. I would ever argue with someone about music. Taste is special and sometimes hard to explain, so what? :-)

@@angiedorman7220 really bro? How can u not like Morrissey? I mean music wise.
It was always meant to be a snarky back and forth with Ronno in the middle
The funny thing is I’d be more likely to describe Morrissey’s voice as flat than Bowie’s. Any day of the week.
Still can't get enough of this song and the way David sings it, love it forever.
beautiful man
its beautiful. I love Moz and I love David. Its lovely how Dave takes it equally passionately:)
2:11 that guitar solo OMG! It’s amazing
Mick Ronson 😊
genius
Oui reste que nos larmes !!!!❤❤❤
i love moz and i love bowie.. and this is perfect!!
:)
one of best songs.
morrissey,bowie,mick ronson,nile rogers.
i loved this song very much 1993,
Bowie, la criatura más sexy y elegante del planeta ❤
Morrissey wrote this as a piss take on Rock and Roll Suicide but Bowie decided he liked it so much he recorded it and thus made the parody redundant ,,better luck next time steve hunny...
it is 1993. and David Bowie releases a new album. freed from his contractual obligations from his previous record deal
He looks as good as ever, giving those in midlife much to look forward to
they say that the dead.. never will rise.. and its never seemed so far away... but i know its gonna happen... some day... to you.....

Al Just Al Since Mick Ronson wrote the music for Rock 'n' Roll Suicide and also produced and arranged Morrissey's Your Arsenal it makes sense
@@est_locatelli Mivk Ronson did not write the music
This is without a doubt Bowie's best / no discussion necessary!!
70banksia yes his vocals are perfect
It's funny how he samples his own music to add to someone else's song that is copying his style. Only Bowie could do that.
@glamourennui Morrissey said that Bowie was a fascinating artist in the 70's and was very touched when he heard this cover.
David is the one of best singers and artist after Freddie Mercury death...thisi song is great in Bowie version, more than better like Morrisey original version !!!!
My favourite song from BLACK TIE, WHITE NOISE. What a deep performance!
Just saw Wild T this afternoon... very cool to see him in this video...
Very VERY Lennon-esque (yeah I know its a M song)
miss you
Magistral versão...
Sounds a bit like Depeche Mode's "Condemnation" (the video version)
Never noticed that before!
I still prefering Mozz's version, but this is great!
oh my god there is a fucking video? NO WAY
DEAR GOD GIVE US BACK DAVID BOWIE AND WILL GIVE U SEAN COMBS !!!!
Hahahahahah
Are you guys hearing a different song than I am? This is honestly the worst cover I have ever heard by any artist.
Lovely rendition. His unique voice is so underrated.

The day God covered one of his "angels" song
Idk he happens to have best voice of anyone i know. Famouswise.
Luv the Lennon-esque opening sound production... Bowie looks superbly handsome... great cover even if the boys were fighting...
Morrissey hates David Bowie, ever since they toured together. Morrissey even said about David "He was a big artist in 69, 70, 71, 72 but not now."
Better than the Morrissey version. Sorry, but there it is...
Oh meu deus! Apaixonante!
Grande voce..grande artista..love Bowie
David Bowie, Rock God!
One of the rarer latter day Bowie vocals where he's at the top of his range throughout the track... pulls this off amazingly well, no doubt, but I wish he had started a key or two lower, then shifting to this upper key to bring it home...
This video always makes me laugh. It seems like a massive piss-take to me, not to mention one of Bowie's campest, most diva-ish moments. Fun times.
Gracias por acompañar mi día a día con tu música... te quiero mucho David... eres inmortal.. i don't lose faith...
I just miss him so fucking much
take it easy, i know they are not live. i think the cover sticker says "studio performance videos", or something like that. and by "not music videos" i mean they weren't meant to be shown on MTV, and you won't find it on any music video compilations. it was all filmed (along with 5 other tracks) for this one particular documentary "On Saturday May 8, 1993, at the Hollywood Center Studios in Los Angeles". if you want to see a not "cheap and silly" video, whatch the jump they say video by romanek.
te voy a amar hasta el día de mi último respiro, David! wherever you are, my heart is yours... I absolutely love you!
Oh David... My word are not sufficient for this.. Are you really human? No, you are starman :-) Love u
RIP 🙏🏼
I look at this as if he's singing to me about meeting him... Haha! Do the same, makes me have hope i might get to see him live someday!! ^__^
