@Polacoste I just listened to the song "Pain." You're right. The beat in the very beginning is the same beat for Fame. Also, the way they say pain, is similar as well. Fame repeats the same beat for the entire song, Pain doesn't. Is that the same as ripping off, or is it liking a small part of a song and sampling? Like Herb Alpert's Rise and Biggie's Hypnotize.
I once woke up naked beside David Bowie and Mick Jagger. Bowie's wife Angela woke us up, then we came downstairs to enjoy some pancakes, coffee, and a killer hangover.
@jkat2000 you are muscially ignorant that you should hand yer head in shame this song has an intro the bass line is different and why is it you think sly invented music?
I heard this song on AVF once! It's when a lot of performers got clumsy! I ended up watching it and listening to the song millions of times with in about an hour!
@djholt69 the good stuff remains in the minds of people like us! we know what we were up too in those days! oh what good times !! rock onnnnn peeps............
This played in my head as my niece and I walked into a New Years Eve party for kids. The other kids looked like they just rolled out of bed and put on party hats. We, on the other hand, were beyond fly.
@Oneeightseven325 lol that is exactly where I first heard this song and I didn't even know it was David Bowie back then. I still think of that scene during the intro. xD
John Lennon backing vocals. Lennon got writing credits on this song because he inspired this song while jamming with Bowie in NYC; Lennon sang "Fame" over the guitar riff and it inspired Bowie to quickly finish writing and recording the song. Definitely one of the best songs of its era (74 - 75),
@Thenottyboy1 - Listen to his whole catalogue,I promise you will not be disappointed, the man is a genius. I have been a fan since I was 10 years old and I never tire of listening to his music. Enjoy xxx
Looky here, baby... You're hittin' them cornaz too goddamn fast. You need to slow this muthafucka down. Ya understand? I almost spilt my yack on this $200 suit, nigga. C'mon, baby, get it togetha.
Musically,there will never be another year like 1975 ! Five styles of music kicking ass at the same time. That why Gold Member (Austin Powers) time warped back to that year.
Side Note: I remember making sure I watched this show when it happened ... For the Surreal Paradox of Bowie appearing on this show, go YouTube search for "David Bowie Bing Crosby Christmas Special" from back in the mid-70's.
NewsFlash: Yoko Ono Did Nothing Wrong. Watch Any Interview With Any Beatle and they all said ... "The Beatles were already over -Before Yoko came along -Before Lennon Met Yoko Ono. The only thing Yoko ever did "wrong" was to attend Beatles Recording Sessions and I'm sure John Lennon, nor any of the rest ever told her not to come. Also, if she had been a White American Beauty -almost Nobody would have griped for the past 40 years.
Some things are just universal. It dosen't matter where you are from, how old yoo are, or what social clique you fit in to. Bowie is like that, universal, cosmic.
at my high school there's a "magazine" the yearbook ppl make @ the end of every year . For the year i graduated there was a David Bowie quote in it.......and i recently started to wonder :how many preps at that fucking shit hole even know who David Bowie is? 0.o
