David Bowie's All the Young Dudes cover with Dave Grohl on guitar

All the Young Dudes, David Bowie covered by Chevy Metal with Dave Grohl at Conejo Valley Days 2016

[@sharonkampff8904]

Really interesting, as Taylor plays on Ian Hunter's 2 most recent albums, Defiance 1 and 2. 1 is out now on Sun records, with a link on their site to Ian Hunter writing about Taylor and how he came to play on the albums 💕

"when ive got a T.Rex?" Guys 'T.Rex' were one of the biggest bands in the world in the early 70's. Bolan was an inspiration to Bowie.

So is playing a song written by Bowie but first recorded by Mott the Hoople considered a Bowie cover or a Mott the Hoople cover? I mean most people consider singing Crazy a Patsy Cline cover and not a Willie Nelson cover.

[@tomCA559]

First one to record it and release it gets the credit for "the original" even though you could say Mott "covered" the Bowie song and still be OK. Bowie recorded his version later. And Bowie never recorded a demo, and never played it live until after the Mott version was released. So, it's a Mott/Bowie cover, or a Mott cover. Bowie's version was never released until much later.

[@MichaelBunyard-l7m]

In a bizarre twist Bowies own version is quite depressing and nowhere near as good as MTHs. But he was David Bowie. He could do what he wanted

[@Eudaimaniac44]

yeah, but Bowie's & Mott's versions of lyrics do differ significantly in that verse. "do need tv", "don't need tv". i figure they thought, Bowie gets lost in his own songs & makes up new words while singing it, so fuck it "Wendy's stealing clothes from ARXENSPARX!"

The song is from Mott the Hoople, but Bowie made a great cover in Ziggy live.

[@steevcollins5811]

But Bowie wrote it for Mott the Hoople

[@thebourbonscene845]

I'm afraid you're wrong pal. The song was written by bowie, demo was recorded for "ziggy stardust and the spiders from Mars" album. However Mott the Hoople were being babies and gonna bust up, so Bowie gave them a hit. If you listen to that album "Ziggy stardust", this song is a missing piece from the record. It's also not the rock anthem for the youth, but rather the opposite. These things I just told you aren't my opinion, they are facts that you can easily find online in interviews with bowie, Mott the Hoople and others.
