I've got news for you all: Never Let Me Down is BEST Bowie album ever. I'm not being sarcastic nor anything. Seriously. Listen to it. I wonder why everybody including Bowie hate this album?
Maybe it's not a "Bowie Classic", but when you are in the right mood for it, this song is better then anything. Might not be in the mood all the time, but when I am it really hit's the spot!
It's somewhat funny how I still like this song although Bowie himself admits that Never Let Me Down (the whole album) bothers him more than anything he's ever recorded.
A lot of people including DB himself disregard this period, but there really is some fantastic and under-rated music he produced during his "Phil Collins" decade...
Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying that your filthy dick-rich corporation sucks youtube dry of democracy and fun. Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their shit...etc, we have been getting flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos. This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos.To people who want greedy corporations expelled indefinitely from youtube - thumbs up and copy this into Vevo videos
DBs answer to "Dirty Dancing" (?) His "bad" songs are still better than so much else. It is only a "bad" song in comparision to the level one is used to because it does not show what he is capable of. But it's quite nice.
The concept for this video was a little cheesy, but, there are things that are out of Mr. Bowie's control; the dance marathon is something Mr. Bowie would have thought of. At any rate, I think that Mr. Bowie is THE BOSS of Britain, and any pretender that challenges him better say, "Yes, sir." He never let me down.
That's the final Top 40 hit by David Bowie in America, the song made it the # 34 in the U.K list and the # 27 on the Billboard Charts in the summer of 1987.
David Bowie é um artista que acompanha todos os movimentos da música por isso dificilmente ficara ultrapassado e continua sendo uma lenda viva do rock !
David Bowie is one of the greatest artists there is in rock or music in general. Even though his videoes never went with the song what so ever. like "Fashion" or "John Im Only Dancing". But dont get me wrong they had a Bowie charm. thats damn near close enough. Thumbs up if you love Bowies videos and of course this one.
The man is a genius. That's it! Extremely well read and erudite in many areas. His music to me is second only to The Beatles - and for me that is tantamount to building a temple to him.
LOL Bowie is short so Ronson must be TINY.....Funny ROCK IDOLS seem to all be SMALL....I saw Jagger who is about 5'9' with AC/DC and every one of them is a MIDGET I swear...no one taller than 5'2'.....amazing!!!
He's the first singer I ever fell for and became a real fan of. He's got a great voice and casualness about him. It's really amazing all the things he's tried and done and there never seems to be enough words to describe the experience you get from him even through the crappiest of taped videos from him. One of my favorite human beings.
@DaveWollenberg According to Wiki, it got to number 34 in the UK. Amazed, actually, as I remember the video/song very well, and of course being by The Dame, thought it would've charted much higher.
@ASTROZOMBIE20 I only figured out that him about a month ago! I was looking at Joe's website and instantly associated his face with the emcee's in this video; I was stunned! BTW, I just picked up "Andy Wahol's Frankenstein" on DVD..........wild!
Heh, we can make at least 3 Memes out of it, this song is Bowie-rolling, space oddecy is Major Tom-rolling, and any labby song is jareth-rolling.....exept chilly down
Wow, I actually avoided any material from Never Let Me Down because of the bad reviews, but you know, who the fuck are critics to say whether something is worth listening to or not? Because I actually DO like this song, especially the harmonica in the intro and opening lines.
You just gotta love David Bowie. C'mon he's a fricken legend. I wish he were on tv more, but it seems nowadays the only place to watch him is on Youtube. He's still great though, and will always be.
@ElenaBlackRose That's one reason I love YouTube :). I watched Labyrinth all the time, but I didn't discover Bowie's music until I was 16. YouTube has practically ALL of it.
Love this song- Great from the heart singing from David on this song- Dance my little dance til it makes you smile, shakin like this, honey doin that, never let you down- I'll never let you down- Great
what you say doesn't have sens obviously there will be nobody like him as each person is unique but if you mean like him or as good how can you know do you travel in time?
@Kayia121 lol don't worry he's bound to do something, I mean he is only 64 going on 65, i mean you get 90 year old men that can still ride bicycles quickly and not tire out, bowie will probably get bored and say "hmm... might do a farewell performance" but if not a live performance we'll probably get a few more albums :)
i must say i missed this one in the days it was out but i have to say i love this song so uch it is brillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllent
