David Bowie - Cactus

[drunkmothableeeep]

Ah! A great man covering a great song by a great band.

[TMANMAN16z]

Its amazing that many people dont realize that its a cover of the Pixies' song, David Bowie is an amazing artist, but I have to say that pixies do this song better.

[Onidragon55]

12 People don't wish they had something David Bowie wore.

[ididcramsmom]

@HuwGeeRection- There are few times "man crushes" are acceptable.. Mike Patton, Layne Staley, David Bowie!..

[mwright83]

@ididcramsmom I would add Jack White to that list. But maybe that is just me and a few other guys I know. :)

[valenwk]

@HuwGeeRection Hahahahhaa I'm glad that men such honest as you still are there! What you it's absolutely true, but not too many dare to say it!

[MrTheArnolds]

@HuwGeeRection: you just did 

[NicholasPGordon]

Wow. Not a fan of Bowie fan, but that was some star power to a great song.

[Diveyl]

most of his song has a very good flow... something mystical about them [but not all]

his version of cactus is the best there is in my opinion. pixies orginal is somehow... odd in comparison

[flamadiddler]

bowie is a mixture of charisma and genius. fucking brilliant in other words!!

[jolenejolene3]

I love this song, music, lyrics, and especially singer. Amazing David you surprise me more and more every day.

[badboyburton360]

I dont think 11 people are sane :L

[falafelpunk]

I like the fact that he does a Pixies cover, but honestly...it sounds almost like some song David Hasselhoff has done.

[alexandermorison]

@HuwGeeRection Well you are not a straight male then. If you do, get me his autograph at the same time. Bowie is beautiful to people because he is just so fucking talented. I love that fucking man for giving me so much beauty in my life. He is a proper Trojan.

[alexandermorison]

@andywarstarforever Yes. That was well done by Mr Jones. Funny thing was, all the rest of his covers to then had been horrid. Even the Morrisey Diatribe.

[heavyminded09]

its cool when bands from very different genres cover another band especially one as great as the pixies. i will always like the pixies version better but its cool to see him paying his respects to the best alternative band that ever was.

[MrDiego881]

DAVID+PIXIES=A M A Z I N G

[Chynaash]

its better on cd then in live version. i love his better though but that is just my opion becuae its DAVID FUCKING BOWIE! Anything he dose is gold. thank you.

[Cyndizdayswar]

David Bowie in a black jacket asking for my dress??? I'll send him my entire damn wardrobe!!!! With me hidden inside ;)

[mtbx]

p.i.x.i.e.s.

[JackTR21]

@HuwGeeRection I would give you another thumbs up...but right now you're at 69 and I think that's too appropriate

[mittensmcbiteme]

This is just wrong. He should never have covered this.

[patientpeter]

@mittensmcbiteme it is david mother-fucking bowie. it's wrong for james blunt to cover where is my mind, sure. but this is david bowie. david. bowie.

[mittensmcbiteme]

@patientpeter I know! It should be Bowie-licious. But it's just WROOONG.

[patientpeter]

@mittensmcbiteme fair enough I can see where you are coming from.

[sagan1976]

@HuwGeeRection My hat's off to you, sir.

[champagner1234]

Euhm, yessss, I think I actually would consider this dress request.... :) Rather from David Bowie than Frank Black.

Although I find the female voice annoying - hooray for Kim Deal.

[BBQFanNo1]

God was in a good mood the day He created David Bowie.

[qpalqlap]

It's gotta make the Pixies feel great to have one of their major inspirations cover their songs.

[naughtynurseh]

i did not write this thank you very much

[twistedviewlabs]

@HuwGeeRection take a number on that one.

[mchelo18]

@HuwGeeRection

That was a sanitary napkin.

LG was in her period and didn't care to use a tampon, tampons suck sometimes, so she used the napkin, which didn't go well with her short outfit. That's all. The rest is just media with nothing to talk about.

[IronManOfficialguy]

@HuwGeeRection I know it was attempt at humor.

[IronManOfficialguy]

@HuwGeeRection I feel the same way about lady gaga.

[naughtynurseh]

cock sucking is all very well, but david bowie is a great singer and is married. his past life is ambigous but please do not fantasise. just listen.. cock sucker.

[mchelo18]

@naughtynurseh

why do u care if others fantasize, it's harmless, go get a life

[1087alejandro]

FaNTASTIC!!

[chrisdavid4026]

i love this, and i love the pixies version

[thehumandidge]

rock on david,you did well ,its a pity you had to retire now...

[knrose10]

@thehumandidge WTF when did he retire i didn't hear anything about that!! u totally killed my day

[39chevpickup]

Bowie is talented. he knows real talent as well. Screaming Blue Messiahs, Mark Bolan, and the Pixies. I like Bowies work, but really like the music aforementioned.

[Shoomski]

Dude, I would die of shock and happiness if David Bowie covered a song by me. The Pixies should feel reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaally good about themselves hahah :)

[devolucionario]

cnice version

check mine...

[shamwoww]

@HuwGeeRection one of the funniest comments on youtube

[Hannahx0xUnbound]

Love Bowie. Love Pixies.

Can life get any better?

[sporks811]

He makes amazing music AND he has great taste. David Bowie, is there anything about you that ISN'T amazing?

[sagalicious123]

@HuwGeeRection me too, brother

[JamesTKirkCobain]

He`s a real life Vampire. That`s why you never see him out in daylight.

[MrJFlashify]

For some reason, he sounds sexier than usual when he sings the first line. Anyone have any idea why?

[MrBassHands]

@MrJFlashify

it's because he's singing the Pixies. Duh!

[MrJFlashify]

@MrBassHands Oh of course, that magic Pixie song that turns everyones voices sexy!...

[MrJFlashify]

@HuwGeeRection So would I. It's funny, with his sex power, he might be able to convert heteros into homos. I have never had such an urge to suck a 60 year old man before.

[DIsillusionedCupOTea]

The intro sounds a bit like that of the Floorshow from RHPS.

[bowiesyoungestfan]

rember he didnt write it the pixis did:)

[tabletop123]

I have listened to Bowie for a long time and this is the first time I have heard this. I can only say, Fucking great.

Thanks David

[soundboy3]

@tabletop123 that's because its a cover of a Pixies song.

[39chevpickup]

he just didnt write this one huw and all the gay stuff just is a little uncalled for

[mac15able]

@39chevpickup

methinks he doth protesteth too much

_yes you my friend.

[frederickbabyyeah]

i love you.

[bowiesyoungestfan]

sad one

[billymacabre]

this is the worst cover of a pixies song i've ever heard.

[mack89464]

LOL - classic.

[InvisibleMasquerade]

@HuwGeeRection i were a guy, i would be gay for bowie, not for anyone else, but i would be gay for bowie

[beeb1992]

Mr David Bowie. <3 x

[bowiesyoungestfan]

if i was 50 yrs older i would do the same and im bi

[bowiesyoungestfan]

dis song is soo kewl lol

[bowiesyoungestfan]

wtf

[nbydummy]

guys, soup goes with bread...

[bowiesyoungestfan]

everyone has there own opinion

[39chevpickup]

really like Bowie but singing this song looks like an act. I know ill get boo'd but for ME i like charles and the rest of the pixies doing this song for real

[ildarq]

I love you,come to Mexico...

[Demoniczna69]

WARIAT :D

[ShadowsCursed]

I loved this album. I think it was his best.

[franco212]

horrible album

[ryanpk12]

the pixies actually pretty much gave this song to bowie after he did the cover. they liked his version better

[39chevpickup]

@ryanpk12 I disagree, I think it (cactus) was a song that David really liked and the Pixies were flattered and let him use it. Originality counts.... Big. What do you think? Just my opinion.

[ryanpk12]

yeh possibly right. fanco212 this album was gd....bowie is prob 1 of the only artists that have adapted to changing times better then any artist imo

[garali1973]

Mr Bowie does it justice. Bravo!

[fandeplacebo]

C UN MODE D'APPAREIL NUMÉRIQUE qui ralenti les gestes

[puremelee]

david bowie

gretest musician ever

[MrDiego881]

Bowie cover Pixies...damn very good version!!!

I m totally love Bowie and Pixies

[louiseduvee]

Oh hey, I respect the Pixies, but who you gonna fuck? lol

[apathyfilledmonkey]

i love this version. david bowie is THE most epic artist is the history of music. (my opinion....but it'll soon prove to be true all around the world lol).

[daisuke147]

omfg. this is amazing

[RobNickel001]

Is this from the Reality Tour Live DVD?

[ivankaramasov]

Yep.

[sporks811]

DAVID BOWIE COVERING PIXIES.

MY WORLD JUST EXPLODED (in a good way).

[sagaofbluewing]

Both versions are AWESOME!! What an honor for David Bowie to cover YOU. The Pixies did covers too. They have TWO very different versions of In Heaven and they both ROCK in their own way.

Charles Thompson IV is the man and Bowie recognizes!!

[badboyburton360]

why do people think that james blunt did shuch a bad thing playing that song he did it in his own style and i think that was good of him. And again just because david bowie did one of there songs evey one thought it was excellent. ( not saying that i don't like david bowie) but just give him some slack

[halflifeepisode34980]

'piece of fluff'?? I may be '12' but your 7 by that logic, dick for brains

[luisjavier22]

there are cover songs better than the original, this is one of those.

[darkerentropy]

its a good cover,no doubt but to say its better than the origanal is just a sin and bowie would be the first to admit that! Doesn't even come close to the feeling FB puts into it!

[halflifeepisode34980]

this is fairly acceptable in tis own way, but when james blunt did a cover of where is my mind i hated him for it, and wished death upon him - at least bowie isn't massively irritating

[mariveritas]

che figo!

[lilcoffey13]

Respect for Bowie but NO NO NO

[kmiller812]

this mainstream rock and roll version of this song works suprisingly well. two amazing artist, a cool cover.

[trey187123]

i prefer the original it just seem strange

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song!!

[louiseduvee]

Hottest (Bowie) video Ever!

[venisfurs]

very cool, thanks!

[louiseduvee]

over the top.

Thanks!

[solojony]

"I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part."

David Bowie

[19HALLOWEENJACK84]

The PIXIES are fantastic . Bowie and his band do MAJOR justice to this tune. I'm certain that the PIXES are pleased and honored.

[Farquharson64]

thieving cunt

[sheywey]

Saw him in concert in 2002-2003, OMG he is a god!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheywey]

Bowie is in my top 5!!!

[Suki98]

its not him that sucks its the band behind him fucking up the song...well...maybe the combo :/

[IkuraTheDarkNinja]

Naw... I love david to peices but i didnt care for that much :(

He looked Sexy as though XD

[dirtbag1713]

how is this a bad cover? it fucking rocks

[SpazzyLoLazzy]

People will moan about anything sadly.

Anyway, Bowie is awesome and Pixies are awesome. Cover is awesome!

Stoned as hell. Excuse me.

[ledgerdeathshit]

Your stoned opinion is the only one that really matters here. Both are awesome. That is that.

[Farquharson64]

stealing wanker

[bobfrompikecreek]

you are familiar with the concept of a cover, right?

[vitrolite]

He looks like he is really having fun doing this song...

[rrumcajsz]

Brilliant.

[texboyinsf]

Bowie made this song his. Seriously, that dude rocks. Always has.

[Littlemylo]

No offense, but I don´t like this version. All the emotion is gone. It sounds like a rock n´ roll number, not like a Pixies song or an Bowie song either.

[natrat888]

bowie cant make something suck..

most of the things he does are awesome,

even though i never like Lets Dance too much

[Flemse911]

The Pixies came with this song, Serious...

This is just a rip of!

PIXIES RULE!!!!!

[ivankaramasov]

Rip off? I think the word you are looking for is "cover". Get a dictionary.

[M1aT2T3]

He messed up the song!!!!

In his version sounds like a cheap ass power pop, compared with T-H-E-P-I-X-E-S version.

[highyetdry]

He changed it, that's all. I love the Pixies version, but I love DB's version too. DB's is the rebellious teenge child of the Pixies classic!

[Flemse911]

u suck

[Onlydreamin1959]

Thankfully, Bowie appreciated the Pixies enough to make a great cover. It's pretty simple.

[Onlydreamin1959]

Just love this cover. It isn't the Pixies, they made the hit. Bowie mad the song his own, though. He always had a "currant' obsession and The Pixies, thankfully, were one of them.

[schwilly75]

omfg thank you.

[zofryer]

You have to understand. Bowie is on record as saying The Pixies "got it right". He idolizes them. His version is pretty awesome, but it's not The Pixies.

[WaprilsJimBob]

neither are the Pixies David Bowie. Its 2 versions, neither has to be 'better', its just each artist singing it and putting their own mark on it :)

[AngelLustNYC]

O MY GOD!!! I'm 31 and THIS MAN just gets SEXIER with age...This Vid makes me want him sooooo bad!!!

[thinwhiteduke11]

I'm with you AngelLustNYC, I adore him the sexiest, most beautiful man ever to have lived!

[Raymantico]

david rocks this so hard it makes the pixies version sound a tad flimsy by comparison...

[SpasticIBS]

it must have been an honor to have david bowie want to play one of the pixies' songs.

[rabuu2]

I Know This Song Only Performed By The Pixies.

This Version Pretty Fucking Awsom Too!!:D:P

[oldergods]

this cover kicks the shit out of the original.

Bowie is simply godly.

[spartanis]

i still like the pixies

they are too raw man =D

[nenapunk]

this one is pretty cool, but more conventional than pixies´s "weird" but great one

[newdamned]

what a great cover knockout !

[lesassassins]

Far better than the original, I love Pixies, but it isn't one of their best songs, one of the worst I think, but Bowie did a great job, a great song.

[TeenageWildlife]

Bowie's version is pretty good, but there's something really disturbing and wonderful about the fucked up lo-fi feel of the original.

[youtubinfool]

great pixies cover.

[Bowiefanperson]

my friend hates Bowie (except for the song ziggy Stardust) but he loves the way he looks during the reality tour. he does indeed look realy coold here. but then again, he looks cool every where he goes.

[Bettawoman]

Love this song...hot for a Bowie song. Love this album too.

[gr8disaster1]

Bowie Sux Ballz

[TehCTurtle]

Then why are you watching this video?

[RavynneRune]

marry all of us! XD

[andrebreton4]

you fail bowie

[beeb1992]

how dare you say that !! david bowie is fantastic, the best ever! youre not welcom here

[JacksRevelation]

Interesting take, but absolutely nothing compared to the original Pixies. You just can't beat Frank Black's creepy honesty.

[cantsingbutgotsoul]

I'll send you the dress I wore, to Bowie, fing great post!!! Wow he just doesn't age!!!!

[jjellybean00]

This song is hot!!!! I know it's a cover, but oh my god he does it soooo well.

[redmustang13]

Bowielicious!!!

[golfdom1987]

One of the greatest performers of the past 40 years!

[Khaluless]

where you been?

[magicpants2000]

did David Bowie wear it? I mean that specific one.

[magicpants2000]

I would pay anything for that jacket.

[Edhallick]

Great song, too bad the Pixies ripped him off.

[Jbeckwith]

I do hope you're joking.

[Mortambulatoire]

This is a song from the Pixies !!! not from Bowie !!!

[milkyeyesrabidpig]

i eat your soul!

[cocoabononohead]

This is an excellent piece. Great cut by the Pixies, but most def. done justice by David Bowie.

[whiteraven101]

I love this song!!

[RyeMojo]

Excellent!

[brooksie19]

Thiss song is so HOTT!

[whiteraven101]

I love this song alot!! I love Bowie!!!

[mashamorgan]

Bowie is simply wonderful how does he never age ???

[brooksie19]

like this song alot..

[cliftonchef09]

He makes me smile!

[whiteraven101]

me too!!

[TakzTales]

Awesome music!

Even after watching him perform at MSG in 1974, It took me many years to appreciate just how good an artist Mr. Jones is.

Thanks for the clip. :)
