David Bowie - Queen Bitch on the Old Grey Whistle Test

[MasonSchmith]

I don't get it...how is this similar to Lady Gaga at all? This song is great, of course, just brilliant and Bowie is superb here. but i believe lady gaga is the opposite of all that.

[metronomic1]

Father Monster

[fftozer]

Weird, the vocals are live but the instrumentals sound like they were from the record.

[Toobaluba]

Ronson was a freaking amazing all-around musician. We're lucky he was here.

[1970ruledtheworld]

brilliant song my fave good memories from the 1970's packing straw in a garage say no more.lol do you remember Peter Gasson ????

[elvispresley718]

hey the recent rolling stone article claims that jimmy page took hold of bowie's soul (or so he thought) pretyy weird huh?

[theluckyfr0g]

Wow, they look like they are having so much fun. That's great to see. I love this :)

[gdsmchris]

can never figure out why this is never on the greatest hits albums

[mdsaxc02]

Life Aquatic For life

[lboygrace]

like if "Young Adult" brought you here

[withears]

Lou Reed called. He wants his song back. But he loves what Bowie has done with it.

[SirHatchporch]

@withears Well, the song was an overt tribute to The Velvet Underground. He even mentioned it on the sleeve: "some V.U., white light with thanks."

[elvispresley718]

@withears how about it!

[eggybread100]

man i was 14/15 when this came out..... just started to learn to headbang and get stoned.... nothings changed and still listen to the good stuff!!!!! and mick ronson what a guitarist... r.i.p. mick....... if nobody has seen him play heroes on freddie mercury tribute then wow its a must..... .... take a look ;-)

[frombeneaththegarage]

is that a VAMPOWER? anybody savy? or better eyesight than I?

[emilyoshiro]

GOD BLESS MICK RONSON...ABSOLUTE PLUNK LOCK!!!

[patrick20000]

Got love Bowie wat a tune, like you said way ahead of his time lol

[VlogN3rds]

He was totally streets ahead.

[eastendimages]

So ahead of his time

[Eggs4Eva]

he is irresponsibly gorgeous

[Alvinorloff]

The apex of all human achievement.

[hatamot0]

Heh, I love the old guy at the start "grumble grumble FREAK grumble grumble".

Half expected him to say "Get off my lawn, ziggy stardust!"

[dedoubecool]

He's totally my idol !!

[123jsbach]

What is a bibbity-bobbity hat?

[ZZDave22]

@123jsbach The hat Bowie enjoys wearing on Sundays.

[123jsbach]

@ZZDave22 lol! and i bet it is cool, but i was wondering about the bibbity bobbiness of it. ;)

[1968mancity]

bowie at his best

[MoonlightWhisperer]

an all time classic...timeless.

[whatthefucktheodore]

clearly velvet underground inspired

[Zontertes]

Before Abraham was, Bowie is.

[therealitychecker]

Ronno - never forgotten - still the greatest.

[earthly666]

David bowie forever!!!!!!!!

[linorf]

i heard he went to his local garage and asked them to spray his guitar blue then TAH DAH

[3Bowiefan]

@TheDorr71 Exactly the songs of today completely lack creativity they all say the same thing [Lets party get really drunk and make lots of dirty love and thats all we'll do for the rest of our sad sorry lives] and thats it!! I like interesting songs not total brothel related woe fests. Right thats my angry rant for today.=D

Bowie forever<3<3<3

[jimpedigo]

David and Mick, 2 brilliant minds. We miss you Mick.

[siouxie921]

David Bowie & Mick Ronson: a marriage made in heaven.

[junkers290]

Definitely my favourite Bowie song. Also that is the only painted acoustic guitar that I have ever seen. Has anyone else ever seen one?

[KUTVgroucho]

Bowie doing the Velvet Underground.

[markf237]

I'm a big Bowie fan. I dig this song, I remember when the album was released.

[seanykinz]

my dad showed me this video..

[jeffleoncomedy]

Mick Ronson was a blessing to any band he played with.

[DavidTransformer]

Remember the days at the Glasgow Appollo. Ronson on guitar just took the roof off the place. Man was a GOD!!!

[tiponin23]

Mick Ronson, nice to see you again my friend.

[MegaMumbles]

Ahh the Electric guitar reminds me so much of the early punk rock.

[TheThinduke01]

lady gaga could not lace his boots

[botbagel]

@TheThinduke01 most assuredly truth!!!!!!

[nankerism]

great version of a killer song. mick ronson's dynamite. wow, what a band!!!

[Moon27]

Love this song! I actually kind of like his boots lol I wouldn't mind wearing them myself!

[ronnogold]

I love this. Bowie and Ronson were separately brilliant, but together they were just unearthly good. Bowie has worked with some great musicians and he certainly knows fine musicianship. Ronno is knucklebiting adorable here, I love to watch his hands on his guitar..I'm certain there was magic in what he did. Every little moment of this is just sublime.

[3Bowiefan]

Bowie looks so lovely in this vid, i love the twitchy dancing and the wave he does at the end<3<3=)

[TheDorr71]

@3Bowiefan How I love this song.Nothing compares with it today, although todays music is at a creative stand still

[boardy777777]

the fuckin guy was and still is a fuckin genious

[explorerofrock78]

bizarre self constructed freak ? he says that as if its a bad thing

[Samspank]

bit stonesy ... that was the era ... but would do him today, tomorrow, the day after, the next week, the next month and even the year after that xxx love him my hero xxx

[Jimmyjumpnjive]

I love Mick Ronson

[coomohit]

Just the best 70s guitarist(apart from Jimi & Rory) The singer aint too bad either!

[nosis1939]

Here cones the "Man"

[BigJulieWasDead]

Great clip, great song.

[MrLawman10]

what is a bibbity bobbity hat ?

[RoomNineOhTwo]

Lady Gaga eat your heart out =)

[ccujohn]

@RoomNineOhTwo Lady Gag*me doesn't belong in the paragraph as Bowie, let alone sentence.

[aramhampson]

@RoomNineOhTwo gag-uh sucks bigtime

[lukegornall]

@RoomNineOhTwo she probably would as well, just for attention...

[MacDisel1]

That video is epic. Mick Ronson under rated..RIP.. after viewing that everything is Hunky Dory

[matjak84]

The Damned United

[colombian73]

fantastico.



[TheDizzeeMiss]

he is not a genius. he is god. 

[stoprejectingmynames]

Nice blue guitar :)

[NoelleNabob]

"Gotta check to see if there are any bats in the cave before I go on"....

[seelow12]

just great music

[TheBarpster]

He is a genius

[saganemc2]

I am 33 and have just discovered Bowie, what a great surprise!!

[WarGodIII]

THIS IS REALLY GREAT!!! THANKS FOR THIS!!!

[debzpoet]

Bowie is the reason why I became a poet....Ronson was the reason why I learned to play a guitar

[notlazy99]

Holy crap, watching David play guitar makes me think he could have had a career in rock playing rhythm in bands. Good thing he was pure genious with his writing music.

[elvispresley718]

@notlazy99 his chord progressions were quite different

[TheLizardQueenMotion]

Oh god I love this man.

[halag]

Wicked song

[suzypola7JarEth]

@maklekan Ohh I think i may have heard it mentioned :3 have you seen it? The movie i mean hahaha!

[supermac473]

ronson could make that gibson talk he was brilliant

[stevejah7]

@supermac473 mick was brilliant. you're right.i always think of him as the  other bewlay brother even tho it was before he helped bowie create the Spiders.brilliant feather cut as well! R.I.P. mick - play don't worry x

[suzypola7JarEth]

@maklekan ah!! i see what you mean!! it's actually a rather pretty grimace xD this is a LOVELYY and QUITE catchy song. What is Van Sant's MILK? I am not familiar with with this :D (a bit peculiar, but in a good way :D and yes a bit Rod Stewart like :DDD)

[suzypola7JarEth]

@maklekan ohhh i thought that there was something that he did that was special that i wasn't seeing xD not that every single movement he makes isn't amazing <3 heehee.

[suzypola7JarEth]

@maklekan ?

[jamesjonesrocket]

lol - 'doctor bardardo's homes'

[ublec15]

this song is the shit after i heard it in that milk trailer

[Scrotemeister]

I saw this when I was 9 years old. Formative!

[cotchford1969]

These two should have stuck together, they rocked!!

[sadduck28]

@cotchford1969 they probably would have done if mick had'nt been so selfish as to go and die

[TheJesterGirl]

I WANT HIS BOOTS! D: I also want his red platform boots, and all of his ziggy costumes... AND DAVID HIMSELF! :D

[KUTVgroucho]

One of my favorite Bowie tunes, clearly influenced by the Velvets, circa '69, "The Velvet Underground" LP. To the past poster, the lyric goes "... flippity floppity hat."

[sadduck28]

metro lyrics ? what is that ? perhaps you should focus on your listening skill's and be less reliant on an ill informed website that is probably written by an american (i believe they speak english too ,albeit not very well) i hope this clears up any confusion concerning bowies penchant fot knitted head gear i.e THE BOBBLE HAT

[steveleake]

@sadduck28 perhaps YOU should concentrate on NOT putting apostrophes on plurals. What are you, a sad b*stard little Englander? So much for tolerance of other cultures, just because they don't coincide with your parochial narrow little viewpoint. (I'm English too, just not racist)

[sadduck28]

@steveleake racist moi ? there's nothing wrong with being proud to be english, i mean it's the greatest country in the world ,noted for it's tolerance , i did'nt realise we were doing A level english or i would have tried harder

and if you had just written "and another thing" it would have saved you the trouble of writing another comment

[Cerek120]

@sadduck28 greatest country in the world

pfffffff there is no greatest country in the world since every single human being is a despicable scumbag

[sadduck28]

@Cerek120 i disagree that all humans are despicable, although i concede that most of europe ,east and west ,the french and the welsh are as close as you get, just count yourself lucky that your not of all thing's an AMERICAN (god forbid)

[steveleake]

@sadduck28 Perhaps you should focus on not putting apostrpohes on plurals, and conversely putting them indication of possession (Bowie's, not bowies). Saddo

[sadduck28]

@steveleake steve your just being padantic or is it because your anti semantic ?

[dwindlehop]

Is that a wookie on lead guitar?

[08FullerJ]

Bet you, if this song came out today it would make top of the charts, it's a timeless song, brilliant!

[sadduck28]

@UnfortunatelyScene it's obvious to me that english is not your first language, to save you any future embarassment , the correct term is "bibbly bobbly hat" i hope this helps

[UnfortunatelyScene]

@sadduck28 Ummm...English is my first and only language, this is what is on metro lyrics, look it up, dumbass.

[halag]

@UnfortunatelyScene You dont seriously think online lyric sites are the be all and end all of "truth" when it comes to lyrics do you? LMAO I cant count how many times they've got it wrong and then all the other BS lyric sites rip the wrong lyrics from the first site and suddenly everyone thinks these wrong lyrics are the proper ones - well... they must be coz EVERYONE's got the same ones on their sites. ROFLMAO

[Triumph72]

@sadduck28 No. It;s bibbity bobbity. Dope.

[LeGeNd4911]

If Ronno was any cooler... he'd have been absolute zero.

[shunth3nonbeliever]

bowie is god

i'm 14 heh

[notlazy99]

David Bowie with the genious of creation but Mick Ronson with the back up of rhythm and lead made this band of spiders.

[MonkeyBoyBud]

17 people are soulless automatons.

[noodlam]

what a sound!!

[captaincomputa]

The Killers stole lyrics from this

[11xzxzxz]

RIP Mick Ronson. Bowie and You did it you guys don't make false claims. Walk out of her heart walk out of her mind Oh god you do it better than most so lead us right own and lay us right now . why didn't i say ? Great music.

[DominoXX33]

Impromptu isn't it :DDD

[antjuanoden]

Bowie is Bad AZZ.

[stonescourt3]

wow, i never really realized how lou reed-ish this is!

[Nickthegreek123]

Bowie's guitar is recorded aswell but this is still great, this is what got me into rock music and hearing Hendrix aswell.

[tmkc3rd]

the electric guitar is a recording, he's not playing that live its too perfect and the strumming doesn't line up. also, he's strumming during the solo-ish part leading into the chorus at one point!?

[54markl]

didn't like that guy calling him a freak. rock on, bowie! you're a genius, and genius is misunderstood. great video, excellent song.

[jmoh54]

saw Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars at Olympia in 1973. David and Mick were so awesome. I dances do much i made my feet bleed!

[bruzdneebly]

"......Has turned himself into a bizarre, self constructed freak....."

lol

You've gotta love the seventies

[CanOfMinus]

I met Bowie after one of his shows. He told me my sport coat was rubbish and proceeded to punch me with his right hand while he cried out of his left eye and in my unconscious state I witnessed my own birth.

[Emma8887]

@CanOfMinus

That's really impressive, you know. I wish I could have seen that. Well, not your birth, that's kinda private if you ask me, but the other part.

[fkylw]

@CanOfMinus I don't even understand how I could comprehend explaining to you how I feel about this comment. It's everything I've ever wished in a youtube comment after blocking them all out for Richard Feynman quotes.

[TheFlimflamy]

@CanOfMinus your either really deep or were high one night and thought that happened....

[ecnalubma696969]

@CanOfMinus My vote for best quote of '11.

[ecnalubma696969]

@CanOfMinus Ooh I mean '10.

[thatsabig104buddy]

@CanOfMinus PRICK!!!!

[thesydneyfication]

@thatsabig104buddy ..how, exactly?

[zugrook101]

@CanOfMinus sexy as fuck

[murphth]

@CanOfMinus ahahahah!!!! you rock!!!

[beckjuly100]

@CanOfMinus  beautiful! ;)

[jmoh54]

saw him at olympia in 1973 with mich ronson - unbelievable!!

[thebritinoz]

Great, great song. As for him being a "bizarre, self-constructed freak" - I'm sure that was the look he was going for at the time!! Mick Ronson was an absolute gem.

[notlazy99]

Pure genious to write this song.

[richiebear1969]

I love the guitar riff............even though it sounds too much like Pete Townsend's "Tommy"

[sonsielass1]

"......Has turned himself into a bizarre, self constructed freak....." Ha ha. The commentator should take some Lemsip for his cold.

[dani9714]

Bowie is over the top! He's so amazing that I can't even describe it. I've no words, but I do have respect, adoration, fanatism and love for him!

[StardustZiggy95]

HE'S GORGEOUS !

[SouthernPoint52]

THE LIFE AQUATIC with STEVE ZISSOU

[limerick43]

love it

[levantos]

Just watched Damned United and this was the song they used to finish the movie and I had no idea David Bowie did it. I love it, great stuff :)

[notlazy99]

David Bowie, playing chords on a 12 string guitar. How cool is that?

[raye293]

I adore everthing about this man! Bowie rocks my world!

[godwhatcanihave]

David Bowie had a bibberty bibberty neck

[notlazy99]

With all of that effort for Mick Ronson to be influenced by Duane Eddy. this is how history is made.

[notlazy99]

Mick Ronson, trained in classical piano, cello, violin. and wanted to learn guitar. WTF? Mick was a genious.

[notlazy99]

Smooth, it doesn't matter what they do now, they are responsible for changing history! Not many can claim that distinction friend.

[jerste]

Bowie was the bitch and Ronson was Bowie's bitch.

Greatest rock song by Bowie.

[Tsugaheterophylla]

I dunno. This sounds like the studio version dubbed over the video. I'd rather see/hear a bona fide live performance.

[drussellc]

@Tsugaheterophylla its not the studio version.its just a really good live recording

[christeeneey]

I adore him, his music, and his "bizarreness".

[costellodan]

Had a dance around the desk. :)

[vanuaturocks]

"Has turned himself into a bizarre, self constructed freak."

Best commentary EVER!

[gidyindanny]

this song is better than hey jude!

[240ups]

sUCH A queeN!  yEEAeeeAAAAhHHHHHHHhhh!!1!!111­1!

[Andy1Emcee]

David Bowie is awesome. This is my favorite Bowie song. It's great; definitely one of his best. Great title and deserves more credit!

[KristinaBrooker1]

REACT

Pen is position opinion (MARRIAGE RANK)

[sonicsteev]

[caMboDJA88]

What a hero

[blyndreaper]

[rock7star007]

look sooo gorgeous¡¡¡

[apachaiclo]

Oh Bowie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[gitaarleraar1970]

The genuine article

[gbear4]

Mick Ronson DEFINED Bowie's sound. I LOVE his playing and his stage presence. It's sad that he's gone.

[notlazy99]

I look at no more Spiders the same as no more Beatles. Only happened one time in history, now they are gone.

[miasdad]

trevor bolder - bass player extraordinare....

[kjsh987]

yeah mick was awesome and wodmansey was too. if anyone heard his drums in the pin ups album can know about what im talking about

[notlazy99]

Bowie was too cool, Mick Ronson was so talented, could be labeled the best musician to play rock, Rip Mick.
