Edgy Bowie is underrated. As always, he managed to get ahead of the curve and do early 2000s rock before it was cool

[@ericstra2793]

I remember this when it happened. Too bad they didn’t include the part where Howard thanked him and told him the story of how when he was just starting to DJ, was dirt poor, yet he and his wife HAD to put the money together to buy that Bowie album. David was genuinely touched. My favorite HS moment.

[@finw-k6805]

He looks like he’s about to tell Neo to come with him

[@davidsbaggypants8510]

this version of fame is something I didn't know I needed in my life

[@flybeep1661]

Bowie was 51 years old here, damn he looks more like 41.

[@patriciamunoz6251]

He was gorgeous!

[@rosco1pug]

He's timeless .. how cool, sharp can one old guy get!

[@christophercasey6775]

Both Howard and David are Capricorns

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Who cares how old he was, he NAILED IT and that's all that matters!

[@Paradox97]

Im in love with this live version

[@brennand933]

I can smell the 90s oozing off my screen. Love it!

[@zorth42]

Brennan Man right??? I had flashbacks to kid rocks woodstock 99 performance

[@1Capnjazz]

That effect on the vocals is tripping me out , I love it

[@dylanwillis1473]

Being high while blasting this on a speaker system is one of life's greatest pleasures.

[@stephencastro1437]

FUCK, what a great reworking of this. I'm really digging it! Damn he is missed.

[@mikel92009]

David Bowie + the wack pack dancing in front of the stage = priceless 🤘

[@evanward4303]

"Pole dahhnncin'!"

[@MrNategriffin]

what ever happened to fred "the elephant boy"?

[@bodhi8297]

The word icon gets tossed around a lot these days but few are legit.. David Bowie is an Icon amongst Icons indisputable

[@williamlowe7718]

Showing his true genius, changing the tune, and still an awesome performance! David Bowie, one of the best of our time!

[@marcobohler3619]

This is like a super dark version!!!!! Fucking amazing!!!

[@ArtTube333]

David Bowie will be remembered in 200 years like one of the most important figures of our time. Mark my words.

[@botanicus2921]

I really love this industrial era of Bowie

[@ZHLtheclan]

I agree, this version sounded badass.

[@crunkalac]

I dont

[@smokesgtp]

It was all good except some of the 80's stuff

[@demonicsweaters]

I didn't care for it at the time, but it aged very well. Now I love this period.

[@eyerollers]

The interview that got away. Wish Howard had the opportunity to sit down with the Goblin King. :(

[@Mr8bitgamer]

That would have been one of the greatest howard stern interviews probably

[@garrettcuthbertson4907]

I think he did not want to asked about Jagger. Also, maybe gun shy about that crazy interview with his ex.

[@OnePercentIdeas]

You gotta love the Lennon shades, a lovely hommage.

[@angiedorman9244]

He looks cool af here.

[@rahjeel]

Sharply Dressed, Cool Af. No one will come close Star-Man

[@kassahund631]

David Bowie is a God Damn legend. Damn why is he gone

[@bwaters735]

David bowie=legend

[@yodadback]

David Bowie and John Lennon created a funk masterpiece. Great performance for Howard's birthday

[@Matlockization]

Bowie looking very sharp and edgy in this video.

[@Zorrocovers]

Damn I love this rendition!

[@antoniojohnson8443]

This is Dr. Dre's version which Bowie loved

[@terrymasters837]

Oh David that was really sweet....

[@danielrossi6352]

I love this version, so creepy.

[@willvanrooy6878]

[@chrissya3201]

LOVE this version!!!!

[@dynjarren7523]

You know you’ve made it big when David Bowie sings for you! An Interview with Howard would have been amazing because Howard’s never afraid to ask the tough questions or avoid controversial topics. Quite the Contrary, that’s his Bread and Butter! RIP Bowie

[@pandapigeonpowpow3838]

Damn why is he gone

[@damonkinney7081]

No doubt.

[@augmentedkeys5971]

PANDAPIGEONPOWPOW 38 Gone? Gone where?

[@darkshiningstar3]

Ahhh man, love you so much David... That 90's Bowie touch is just so FUCKING killer with Fame! Heavy groovy and sexy. May you rest in peace

[@zachsorensen3837]

I always thought this song had a weird funky hip-hop vibe to it. Especially live. Love it.

[@augmentedkeys5971]

Zach Sorensen it’s called blue eye soul.

[@gainpain7017]

I love the version of this song 😍

[@demonicsweaters]

Legandary! Damn his band was killer here!

[@jessica5497]

What a man 💙

[@EPICAP1]

Wow just 20 years ago he seemed in pretty good shape. Sad to have lost such a great legend.

[@keefriff99]

Well yeah, but a LOT happens to the human body in 20 years.

[@PhantomTales]

just 20 fukin years bro XD

[@jessica5497]

@@keefriff99 but even in 2014 he seemed incredible. Was the cancer after that

[@acertainshape]

He always appeared to be in better shape than than he was. He had heart surgery a few years after this and remained a smoker. Likely had Hep C just like Lou Reed from sharing needles. That lead to the liver cancer that killed him.

[@damianoakes2592]

@@jessica5497 he was diagnosed in mid-2014, and was terminal in October, 2015.

Truly amazing 😊😊😊😊

This channel has been fire lately!

[@johnthelesserofthethirdoft863]

That funky bass

[@NicksSkillz]

The technical and artistic performances of this fucking clip are amazing!

[@rodentcafeteria]

He's giving me George Michael vibes here. Love the way Bowie would reinvent his songs by changing the tempo or his vocal phrasing.

[@RoodeMenon]

I think he was the cause of glam rock, and to why male pop stars looked like women in the late 70 and into the 80s.

[@shawntyson4339]

Klaus Nomi,thank me later.major influence on Bowie

[@TMthe33rd]

Actually, Marc Bolan of the T.Rex that started glam rock trend of the 70s. But of course, Bowie's the one whose popularized it

[@stumpe9662]

thats the most bowie bass player ive ever seen

[@TheRightLadder]

Gail Anne Dorsey?

[@uncadeez]

That would be Gail Ann Dorsey from Philadelphia. She was his bassist/guitarist/co-singer for close to two decades. Phenomenal!

[@casperguylkn]

She's a legend. That's no ordinary bass player.

[@javieralejandrogomezmar449]

Se ve macizo el Bowie la neta mis respetos descansa en paz... sooo badass

[@976charlie9]

Needs to be archived properly.

[@vurgunalatas3113]

Fameee yeahh

[@Sarasapien]

It’s so weird how David Bowie is much older than all the 80s hair metal bands and looked much in tact and put together. The other dudes look all burnt out, grimey, and old lol

[@vividvulpe9842]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤️❤️❤️

[@henriquemoreira3654]

The end of 90s is epic

[@Neednoy2]

ROCK GOD.
