David Bowie - All the Young Dudes

David Bowie with Mott the Hoople,
Trident studio sessions in May 1972:
All The Young Dudes

Nothing else to add. Bowie was THE dude from start to finish. Constantly reinventing himself and his music. Always ahead of the curve. Always super cool. From my childhood to now my favourite.

[@Kidraver555]

He loved everyone.

[@jeremy2228]

I saw him interviewed later in life(one of many many interviews, he was very accessible) the interviewer asked "so how does it feel to be retired?" .. He just smiled that beeeeming smile and said "Ohh..Ive been retired since my teens.. Ive had a wonderful life.." He worked hard..but it was pure love that you hear - You cant do what he did and see it as "Work" "job" or "career".. it has to be YOU.. it was "HIM" ..its what he did, like a bird flies or a planet orbits.. it was innate, inherent to his person. Work is fine to pay the bills..but it cant create living breathing art - only love can do that... and you cant GET Love..you have to become it. OMMMMMMMMMM lol! %^) ROK N ROLLL!!!!

[@chrischance1063]

I'm watching his documentary on HBO rt now Moonage Daydream, he's singing it in a concert, I couldn't make out the words though but I remember the song from when I was growing up... I typed in "carry the news " and got lucky 😅

[@lefthandlullaby1365]

Heard this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. All i remember is that beautiful melody and some words.

[@murielsartre]

The Mott the Hoople version was the one I heard first as a child, a few years after it was a hit, so of course I didn't know then that Bowie had written this. I'd try to get the other kids on the school bus to sing the chorus with me (what did I know, I was 7) and would just sing it by myself when they gave me side-eye instead. This man's music and film work infused so much of my life, and it wasn't until he died that all the instances of it started coming back to me. In that sense, he was like electricity. I think nothing of the power I use on any given day, but let there be a power outage; I can cope, but it's not like actually having electricity! At least the power comes back on... I am shocked by how much I miss him.

[@martinpepperell8424]

Good on you - I ahd the same trouble with my mates and T.REX - not quite so cool tho - despite the mention. It is a strange one that this song will always be remembered as Mott and hardly ever Bowie apart from by a few

[@evolve991]

I mistakenly believed Bowie was the lead singer for T Rex before going solo. And yeah, I was a child among hippies too. Bowie was alot of my living soundtrack

[@rainmaker690]

+epistte Sure as heck does. As much folks are sad hat hes passed on, the man had an incredible life and was such a huge influence on the music scene for 30-some years, he's never be forgotten because he made such a huge impact, and a hell of a lot of memorable songs/albums/cds. A True music innovator in his own right, that's why his work is still so compelling to listen to, even today---and he kept right on making music up until the day he passed---everybody should go out like that, doing something they love, and being with the people they love while doing it.

[@terrypussypower]

[@rogerstewart5321]

I don't usually post comments on youtube but I am compelled to write about Bowie. I was a young man and lived in England in the early 70's. Bowie came onto the scene and man, what a blast of air. I didn't know what to think of him. The BBC were playing "Starman". My classmates and I thought that it was a good tune but kind of poppy. I listened to the 'Spiders from Mars" album and it changed the whole Bowie experience. It was like 'Starman" was the the sugary frosting on this meaty cake of 'Spiders from Mars'. I hate the word 'fan', since it is short for fanatic. I will say that in my way I am a fan of David Bowie. He allowed me to accept my own 'self'. I am forever in debt to the person that is David Bowie.

[@I___Love___U]

How the fuck did I never know David Bowie wrote and produced this for Mott The Hoople?! Probably why I always loved this song. I am not worthy.

+Papito Swanson Greatest 'Guy' song... EVER!!

[@mfc1212us]

+Papito Swanson They were about to break up, and Bowie really liked them a lot so he offered them Suffragette City, but they preferred All the Young Dudes, so he produced their album that pushed them to greater success.

[@evanleo9746]

Man that opening riff at the beginning.... One of the most beautiful guitar riffs ive heard. ever

[@danieldirand4702]

It's clearly the sound of Mick Ronson, the guitarist and friend of Bowie who produced his best albums. Ronson was a genius in his own. He wrote most of riffs on Bowie's albums from 1970 until 1973.

[@annwhite2346]

It was Mick Ralphs, Mott's guitarist, who came up with the riff.

Maybe about a year ago I heard a Bowie song on the radio and remember how awesome his stuff was. I went home and bought a gross of Bowie iTunes to listen to. It struck me that no one sounded like Bowie back in the day and no one sounds like him now. His phrasing, melodies and arrangements were so unusual but they all worked. I can see the musical legacy that McCartney followed, but Bowie's stuff just seemed to have dropped out of the sky.

+EuphoniaPooch Does seem to make more sense that way, but I do believe the line is 'Man I need a TV when I got T-Rex'. I've performed this a few times and its tempting to change it, but the Bowienazis would be in uproar. And just for the record, in my opinion David Bowie was one of the greats for the things he did in the late 60's and particularly the 70's, but frankly it was all a bit MOR from the early 80'.s. All this talk of a career that never stopped breaking new ground etc etc. A bit rich. China Doll, Blue Jean anyone?

Fuck me ! What a tune David B ‘s on fire. here whenever he wrote this , absolutely genius , he totally un selfishly , ( historically correct fact ) GAVE away this monster of s tune , to save his friends band (IAN HUNTER , MOTT THE HOOPLE ) from dying imminently , If he never did anything else after that : he’d still be a HERO of mine after that , to this day in 2023 ‘ I reckon UK POP/ Rock, has never equalled this genius’s artistic output!

I have a friend who came to watch a match at Sheffield Wednesday and he spent much of the match listening to Bowie on his earphones! As we were studenting in those days he had a sleeping bag in his hold-all and when a policeman saw this he quipped"Expecting a humdinger of a match are we?" David Bowie RIP.

'Man, do I need a TV when I have T-Rex?' So true. :')

[@juligreenspan6007]

I agree.

[@dimitreze]

I begin listening to T Rex because the line on this song. :)

[@ABCDEFGHI3295]

Dimitri Bitu Aha, don't you just adore those times? :P

[@xiviiixcix3]

Is T -Rex supposed to be a drug or something ?

[@ohwell_exe]

Mr 1 & only T-Rex is a musician. You should really listen to him if you like music from this era.

[@juliusebola9389]

My favorite version of this song.

[@nicklasvoncloust5001]

I love this incredibly fantastic tune from Bowie and the spiders from Mars too!

[@iluvpepi]

Wow! I love his version just as much as Mott's. It's a little more pared down but just as powerful. Thanks for all the great songs.
