[vasaurus]

[scott24679554]

[Cuthbo]

@scott24679554 thanks Scott, I really appreciate that!

[emmadotfox]

This is great :) You have a seriously amazing voice.

[SweetNoteage]

Very good man!!!!! Awesome voice.

[DerClaudius]

Aamzing version. Thank you

[thepedrorriva]

Dude, this is great! Your voice is f***ing amazing! can you please send me the tabs? (or post, so everybody can see)

[RAYOVACsuper]

MY GOOD......THE BIG SHIT

[joemisti]

If possible, I would love to see a chart of the chords/fingering you are using. Your acoustic version is the most faithful I have seen to the original, but it is hard to see what you are doing in this video. Thank you!

[rtk9000]

pish, youre probalby the reason why bowie lost the colour in an eye, cause youre a disgrace to the instrument

[st3LLaBee]

@rtk9000 David Bowie didn't lose the colour in his eye. When he was younger he got into a fight and someone punched him in the eyeball and it made the pupil dilate or something. He just has one pupil larger than the other. Check real close and look it up. No differing colour ;)

[rtk9000]

@st3LLaBee thank you for that comment, I wasnt aware of that, but I disagree with you on the topic of 'no differing colour' the iris is darker on the eye where he received the damage as you informed me. Cheers, thanks for trying to impress me

[rtk9000]

pish



[Neo123mark]

@rtk9000 lol, if you can do any better whatsoever feel free to post it, if not shut the fuck up

[rtk9000]

@Neo123mark I find it depressing that on youtube you get chatised for criticising someone. Does every comment have to be a pat on the back? Am i not allowed to voice my opinion if I think someone is souless and mentally bankrupt. I say you Neo123Mark if that is you're real name that you are a snivelling cock whench . I find your challenge to do any better interesting as this character (the jewish fellow) certainly doesnt do any better than our man davy jones. I dont do covers mate - too x factor

[rtk9000]

pish



[rtk9000]

pish



[Drewboy1717]

Learn the words will from the inbetweeners. This is possibly the reason bowie has semi retired

[tomswallow]

WHAT? If only i had seen this before. Olivio my message to you: A. (yes, i went there.(

[CrouchieAtlas]

Awesome dude. It was a good cover both vocally and instrumentally.

Also enjoyed the whistling xP, good to see you enjoying yourself too.

[lilnetty2]

chords are like These Arms of Mine by Otis Redding...I'll bet Bowie was inspired by it.

[jorgeantonio326]

Re-record and release this bro, excellent work! Bowie will be proud.

[TheGuitarMusicFan]

You've got a good voice with lots of character. Nice one. Would have been even better without the noises before the performance though.

[amelamusic]

Haha, awesome! I want to be friends with you.

[CaptainAcousticJack]

@amelamusic no way....as if amela is looking at covers for creative studios :P

[chrisny7d9365]

Mate excellent version i wasn't expected that! i really need to lear your chords they are excellent!!! if you think you can send me yours i'ld be very shuff. Thanks mate

[femupfrankie]

you fucked it up but caught yourself. that was my favorite part, its hard as hell to do that

[MarkoulasTrelos]

AMAZING MAN!!! god guitar playing!!! singing quite well!!

[wikey1236]

Just wow...! Really you are good! 5/5

[AvivCMusic]

Talented guitarist, and great voice.

I appreciate how you enjoy the music, and we can see and hear that.

Good job and thanks for the music! :)

[20dasdave07]

very cool dude !! love the singing and the playing....coool !

[meadish]

At 2:01 it sounds just like a Nick Drake chord voicing. Do you listen to Nick Drake by any chance? Some very nice voicing and strumming patterns in there. I will definitely steal some of your ideas for my own cover.

[MiddyChannel]

Awesome job!

[justauselessshandle]

absolutely brilliant!! Thanks for posting!!

[AbovePerfect]

Your voice reminded me of Elton John. Great cover

[MrAron67]

Great!!!! Just genius!

[MrAron67]

Great!!!! Just genius!

[Arghhhhhh]

AWESOME! How did you learn this? I'd like to try...

[reksub10]

"the cat boo-ed me off my chair" .....loooool i almost fell off my chair when i read that ...p.s. cats love rock and roll

[xCooperTv]

:) You deserve more views!

[gsf67]

wow, not a bad performance, this is really quite an awkward song to play.

[cargirl1]

this is one of my favorite songs of ever. nice work with it.

[1carminedr]

ihhihi brather but the tosse can you nex?????? sorry for the scadent english

[MrCarbohydrate79]

That was awesome. You looked so pleased with yourself when you hit the high note at the end of the first chorus ("is there life on Mars?") and then you couldn't whistle for laughing. :-)

Possibly one of my favourite videos ever.

Just jealous 'cos I can't play and sing at the same time - never mind sing in tune. Well done, mate.

[Natashahoneypot]

chris martin x

[halpank3551]

1,56 hahaha)

well done, great cover)

[wizardscar]

Great cover, you're really good at guitar! :) Shame your cat didn't appreciate it.

We did a cover too, Life On Mars mixed with Ashes to Ashes.

[jkodee]

great job!

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

Did you get what your playing from from the internet?

[udontknowmex]

This is an amazing cover. keep up the good work man.

btw I love your voice, its just beautiful :)

[lorenzino1]

Hi ! I felt on your video, and I must recognize that I've enjoyed listening to it. That's why I put a comment. Well done, man ! BYE !

[vicsaurus]

Shit that was great. Despite the flaws, seeing someone having a blast playing a song really makes it that much more enjoyable. Your voice and style is pretty fuckn kew too.

[lobosueltocorderoata]

you suck!!! bolsssss

[RKOMELTON]

very impressive :)

[kulangotses]

hehe...

[ginothespazzin91]

[Mekalmc]

[Brotherh00d]

EPIC FAIL! i laughed so fucking badly!

sorry mate.

[GlasgowGuy2702]

Fantastic mate I really enjoyed that

[tukaret]

this is a really difficult song to play, and you do it efortless. if u rehearsed more, u could record a legendary cover. 5/5. ill try to learn watching this vid xd

[pepitojoe]

0:57 hahah you got it wrong! haha ha ha ah nanny poo poo

[pobhockle]

[brez85]

BTW your whistle is something that can be worked on no matter where you are ;p

[brez85]

BRAVO SIR

[leifur93]

[sydgerald]

Great man! the part when you whistle(or try) is the best!

great job.

[ensabrenur]

oooh started so well, vocals need work i think as the song gets a bit faster.

7 out of 10

[1eleKtriK2MAYHEM]

Like again this is great

[Jacko11120]

Bowie!!!

[timmy47]

what does your age have to do with anything?

[gutgutgutgut]

Apparently it's an incredible achievement to like music that was around before you were born.

[1eleKtriK2MAYHEM]

great job

[tristanellul]

[TheJackssuprise]

@gassyoldman Lol how does what he did before the song start effect his excellent cover of the song? =/

[gassyoldman]

@TheJackssuprise Just kinda offputting innit. :D

[TheJackssuprise]

[drawk47]

[superdec99]

[LAyahuasca]

Ollie xxx

[ripplesonablankshore]

[nuvius]

great cover man

[frederiksenphilip]

yea pretty good!

[minz2002]

lol dude, that was so cool never knew u could sing lol, mate u need to bring that guitar with u to the studio and teach me some stuff.

[Cuthbo]

Thanks Minaaaz!!! This is awful though and slightly out of tune but i'll definately teach you what I know (take about 5 minutes)

Love, Cuth

[Cuthbo]

Hey adam, thanks! I think you are better off trying to work it out by ear from Seu Jorge's acoustic version and then you'll make your own mad arrangement. Ok truth is tabs scare the hell out of me! Might get a friend to help me though,

thanks again for the comment!

[NobuoUematsu]

that was amazing! I find playing guitar and singing at the same time a real struggle but you were great on both accounts...I think you should lose the guitar though, and just become a whistling solo act!

[taga5000]

OLLY! OLLY! OLLY! Maaaaaan That's not you!?

I never knew you could sing!? What other talents are you hiding you Barstard.

Nice guitar solo bro.

[Cuthbo]

Haha I can't sing! But thanks Amde, and hopefully see you tonight - is that still on? I just lost my job effectively! Ouch.

[inmeeden]

Awesome voice man! Some more would be great!

[Cuthbo]

Thanks inme: More dodgy Bowie covers on the way!!

[inkydragon27]

^^ i ish cheerin for you cuthbo!! never heard this song, but your amazing at guitar- and your voice O.o pretty good! man you should animate and do the music track ^^ woot!!!

[Cuthbo]

Thanks inky! Love your dragon animation, makes me want to do some animation too...

[inkydragon27]

then do some :D cos i've missed seeing all your awesome work!

[simon271088]

i also like it, nice attempt. i wanna learn this.

[hanman1]

I liked it - Good attempt at whistling the lead!

[Cuthbo]

Thanks mate you have no idea how much i appreciate that right now!!!
