Ziggy Stardust- A.F.I.

[giovanni9763]

much respect after seeing this fo sho

[JammastaJ23]

yuck

[xDaXAFImoshmonkey]

Davey Havok = favorite punk singer

[Nercrophage]

I have one criticism for this version, i love the singing and the guitars and all that but the original Ziggy had BEAUTIFUL use of harmonics, and AFI didn't use that, and in this reporter's opinion, that was part of what made the song so special, those harmonics just added some... i don't even know how to put it.

[fresh098]

@Nercrophage have u heard their acoustic version cover of the song?

[Nercrophage]

@fresh098 Yes, I heard it long before i found this one, personally I liked that one better, I mean the electric version is good, but the acoustic was better in my honest opinion.

[pulpdivision]

well i'm glad everyone answered truetilldeath before i had to. davey's pretty inspirational for pale effeminate veg kids like me...

[kconmayo]

no.. davey doesn't look like adam lambert, adam lambert tries to look like davy.

btw a meat eater riding a bike puts out more gases than a vegan in a hummer.

[BaDG0oD]

07/07/07 :D

[Kidmag10]

does this dude look like Adam Lambert or what? not what I expected as I've never paid much attention to AFI other than seeing them live at a festival about 6-7 years ago. (nice cover btw)

[Afireinside912]

@Kidmag10

Adam lambert? I think not. you are fucking stupid. 

[yourtheace]

skip to 1:29 lol

[WoodRatGirl]

I'm not a vegetarian, but I was impressed with his speech and his singing.

[xXForeverHauntedxX]

Davey is totally right about the vegan thing, i dont think hes being too dramatic about it at all!

Anways, this cover was amazing. AFI is amazing <333

[True19Till88Death]

Being a Vegan is cool and all...but I don't understand what it has to do with making the world better...

[remcomater336]

@True19Till88Death if someone doest eat meat its better for the planet

[Roberodification]

@True19Till88Death producing meat is incredibly wasteful. The production of animal products produces more greenhouse gases then any other practice including transportation. The information and facts are everywhere. check it out some time:)

[JisakuJ]

@Roberodification Not that I don't agree with your sentiments, but care to link us to some proof?

[Roberodification]

@JisakuJ sorry this is such a late reply, but here is the proof that you asked for: look up "Rethinking the Meat-Guzzler" NY times as it wont let me link it :P

[alternativemusicrock]

@True19Till88Death ur not paying for shipping of meat, and raising cows and pigs and the like cost a lot of food and transportation that require gas. plus, cows release a lot of gas. XD

[fresh098]

whats funny is that bowie in an interview in 05 said he would love to see AFI cover one of his songs... and all the douches hating on afi, u can hate all u want but they still sell world wide :p

[Ghaiyst]

If he thinks were killing ourselves, then why is he becoming vegan for that? I can understand if we were cannibles, trying to stop us from killing and eating each other, but we aren't. The guy makes no sense. We aren't killing each other by eating meat, unless the way its made is pulluted and kiling us. haha makes no sense.

[fresh098]

@Ghaiyst he is veagan he is against animal consumption dip shit he is straight edge, which for idiots like, means no drugs, no smoking, no drinking. and most often becomeing a veagan is part of it, he is saying that making small changes like for example becoming a veagan can play a part in things, as in that case animal right.s. and sorry their not gay the singer is with a model. and using faggots and other remarks like that make you pathetic. and nothing more then a facist swine.

[Ghaiyst]

@fresh098 Yea! Well, at least he's influencing the misuse of alcohol, and drugs. If he thinks that becoming veagan proves him strong so he proves himself right in order to influence that, then well, i guess that's good. Becoming veagan, in my opinion only proves you some kind of paranoid freak! You know? LEt's eat meat! haha, cuz that's what pigs were made for and some of the other animals were made for, and well he isn't a faggot; he just sings like one. maybe looks a little like it too.

[callummcphail]

@Ghaiyst . i feel a little fear in there u twat. and pigs weren`t made for us to eat, u fanny!

[Ghaiyst]

@callummcphail The Twat's are the ones who actually give a shit about the pig's feelings if they even have any.

[callummcphail]

@Ghaiyst u know fuck all dickweed! u r exactly what is wrong with the human race!!!! you should jump off a tall bulding now, and save yourself the agony of living!

[Ghaiyst]

@callummcphail Pigs are animals, and are made to be eaten. What else would they do to serve the world, just sit there? lol

[callummcphail]

@Ghaiyst get a fucking grip you gimp!!!

[Ghaiyst]

@callummcphail Of course I have a grip, but i just don't like this band, for reasons that are understandable to most.

[Devoted2Mariah]

@Ghaiyst LOL you must have a man crush on Davey in the worst way. Sound like you're a jealous cunt to me. Who gives a shit if he's a sxe, vegan, i'm neither and I fucking LOVE AFI. If you used to like them and now you don't, that's fine but just stop harassing their videos it makes you look crazy.

[Ghaiyst]

@Devoted2Mariah It makes me sound crazy, because everyone else likes this band, but I don't. I'm rather surprised that no one else is putting bad comments. lol Probably, because they dont like it and wouldn't waste their time with this crap. I freakin found this cuz i was trying to find a David Bowie song. I was like, ok this band! HAHA Hope they did a good job! Then I look, "WHAt the Hell?" horrible cover. The guy takes this stuff too serious, plus why the hell does he have to be a vegan?

[Ghaiyst]

@Ghaiyst @Devoted2Mariah It makes me sound crazy, a lot of people like this band, but I don't. I'm rather surprised that no one else is putting bad comments. lol Probably, because they dont like it and wouldn't waste their time with this crap. I freakin found this cuz i was trying to find a David Bowie song. I was like, ok this band! HAHA Hope they did a good job! Then I look, "WHAt the Hell?" horrible cover. The guy takes this stuff too serious, plus why the hell does he have to be a vegan?

[Ghaiyst]

@Ghaiyst See its making me feellike hes trying to turn bowie, into a disgrace.

[Devoted2Mariah]

@Ghaiyst They only covered this song because they love David Bowie, in another video he calls it one of the best, if not the best song in rock n roll history. He's just someone paying tribute, he's not as good as Bowie at this song, but I love him for continuing to cover good songs/bands rather than some garbage. And he has been a vegan and straight edge most of his life, he's dramatic about the whole vegan thing if you ask me, but I respect him for his talent and passion for music.

[Ghaiyst]

@Devoted2Mariah Finally, now I actually have some respect for this, by what you just said. HAHA You said it; way too dramatic about being a vegan! aLTHOUGH IT's not a great cover, I respect the fact that he did it. Finally, though, someone, here, agrees that he's making a big deal out of eating meet. Thank you!

[Devoted2Mariah]

@Ghaiyst Yeah I'm not a vegan, I love cheese and ice cream way too much to put a substitute, but I mean to each their own.  And AFI's best cover is Just Like Heaven, I believe personally anyways. Or Head Like a Hole.

[Ghaiyst]

@Devoted2Mariah OH NO OH NO! You are scaring the crap outta me! WAIT WAIT... HEAD LIKE A HOLE? NIN? FUCK! lol That's one of my favorite bands, and songs! Ok, I despise them even ever more for doing that! I think this has reached it's limit! Jk but thats dumb! I love that band, and hthese guys cover one of their best songs! SHit! Well, oh well! its alright!

[fresh098]

@Devoted2Mariah head like a hole was a good cover

[Devoted2Mariah]

@fresh098 I know right! I love that one, it's one of my favorite AFI covers.

[callummcphail]

have u seen daveys mrs,,hot hot hot!!!

[fresh098]

@callummcphail ya britnay lol extremely hot

[Ghaiyst]

So gay! Vegans! Fuck! This guy aint the bowie of our time. lol this band s very gay. lol

[fresh098]

@Ghaiyst sorry straight, but way to be a facist swine grow a pair, and grow up my god ur pathetic.

[Ghaiyst]

@fresh098 What do you mean by pathetic? You saying its a weak statement? They are hellla gay though! just listen to the music! Unless you love the pop and alternative crap, then you will not agree with me. Yea, Bowie was Bi sexual, but his music didn't sound so pop, and gay and he kicked ass! These guys did a horrible job on the cover. I also just hate that pop stars, and cheesy alternative bands cover such legendary music.

[fresh098]

@Ghaiyst sorry its not "pop" which means popular, AFI is if anything indie. and if they are such a horrible band then why do they sell world wide? sorry but using gay and faggots makes ur statements weak, and make you a facist, and pahetic. i'm going to tell u a secret, i hate facists and i think they should be slaughtered. I am Straight edge, i listen to hard core punk, and i take a stand for what i believe and people like you truly deserve to burn in the depths of hell if there is such a thing

[Ghaiyst]

@fresh098 By saying they have sold worldwide means they are popular/pop. I hope this is not your idea of hard core, this is more like hard crap. Why should I be slaughtered and burned in the depths of hell for expressing how i feel about this band? The lead singer looks and sings like a idolized homosexual.

[fresh098]

@Ghaiyst your still a facist, not popular im saying that the people who buy their cd's isn't just isolated im saying that ppl from everywhere like them, and

[callummcphail]

@Ghaiyst twat!

[SikoNoriko]

@scottymirror Then get the fuck off of the page. If you're such a shallow artist and human being that all you can do in the face of a man beating his own ass to please others....

Yeah, noone wants your shit.

[scottymirror]

i hate afi even more then yesteday

[Ghaiyst]

@scottymirror haha i used to like them, until i found out how gay they make their shit. dude they look like faggots!

[5891bigthib]

davey isn't bi...people are fucking ignorant

[afireinside919]

Omg he's vegan I didn't know well they're still the best but meat is awesome

[JDOCD123]

The minute I hear the guitar I get goosebumps, followed by tears in my eyes, because they do Ziggy so well.

[hawaiianpunker]

next thing you know he is coming out of the closet + coot!

[stimaster18]

I love AFI its just purely awesome I look up to them so bad they changed my life :D

[ZenOnU08]

I just gota laugh at the homophobes that took the time to post here. AFI is such a agreat band and to bring your hate on a great cover by a great band is truly sad. I guess it's an open forum, but take your trash somewhere else. I could personaly care less what sexual preferance people have and I focuse on their contributions to our lives, maybe some people should try it sometime.

[stimaster18]

@ZenOnU08 Amen to this lol

[tearsp07]

so just incase anyone doesnt know davey is bisexual yes it must be hard to take it in cause hes just so awsome but yeah just thought id let you in on that so hes a fag? i think not obviously neone who says that is just too scared to accept that fact or cant understand that people who have other sexualitys other than your own like there bi,gay lesbain are people too so fuck off :) LOVE AFI:)

[5891bigthib]

@tearsp07 davey isn't bi, nor is he gay, nor is it anyone's business at all. All of the band members and Davey have commented on this before, Jade even got really pissed about it, it's no one's business. he/the band change their image with each album, DU was slightly more feminine....not gay, not bi, just different.

[1heldaccountable]

why the fuck are people complaining about sexuality on a fucking David bowie song cover? anyone else know Bowie's BI-SEXUAL? sure lets call davey havok the fag ;) how bout we listen and shut the hell up?

[NergalBladmouth]

@1heldaccountable I think he's strait (Davey)... Idk for sure, but it really doesn't matter, Rob Halford is gay and he's one of the greatest singers of all time, definitely in the top metal singers. I hate when people sit there and talk about all that crap, it's not about that, it's about the music, and if people realized that a lot of the best musicians would get more attention instead of that Nickelback, Theory of a Dead Man garbage...

[xxstitchedheartxxx]

@NergalBladmouth he dated jefree star......

[Afireinside912]

@xxstitchedheartxxx

No he did not you fucking idiot.

They were FRIENDS for a short time you fucking retard.

[xxstitchedheartxxx]

@Afireinside912 no he really dated jefree star

[Afireinside912]

@xxstitchedheartxxx

No he did not you fucking retard.

He would come out and say he did.

they were FRIENDS.

[xxstitchedheartxxx]

@Afireinside912 cool story bro but seriously why are u mad idc if hes gay or not A.F.I. is one of the best bands i"ve ever heard if im wrong im wrong but idgaf its just what i heard

[fresh098]

@xxstitchedheartxxx he isn't gay, he is with britnay bowen, who is a model, she is asian u can see her on some of their making of videos..

[xxstitchedheartxxx]

@fresh098 wow lol i never knew hw was straight

[Afireinside912]

@1heldaccountable

LOL i love you for that.

All these idiots that came here to bash a band that is actually talented is so funny.

They are mad that their band's singer cannot hold notes and sound the same as studio.

[GuttzeTuffen]

I can't stand the way he's singing. "like a cat from japa'a'a'an, those kinda jumps or wtf i can call them, that's too fag, too much popqueenish.

[Cha0tixProductionz]

thats funny bcuz Davey isnt fat and btw how is he a fake when theyve been writing songs for 18 years?

[GrimmRipper2]

It's not that bad, but this singer is such a faggot

[AFIForever1]

no one listen to this faggot :

Councillor4You, he's got some major problems and he's a big fake he's just saying whatever he is saying to piss me off cause he's a retard

[Councillor4You]

@AFIForever1 Dear AFIForever1

How've you been? Have you resolved your inability to accept your incestuous homosexual relationship and become less aggressive against comments that had possible relevance to it? I have been quite busy myself, thus I apologize beforehand for neglecting you.

Best Regards

From Nicolas Schudilar

[TeenageHeadcase]

great speech, great cover, great band

[theneon29]

man,the few times i've watched AFI perform this song,im pretty convinced that Davey Havok is the David Bowie of our time.just my opinion but he really sings the hell outta this song

[exitwoundsinger]

i love AFI, and i love Davey but his lil speech is hard to watch....good cover tho

[mrdantasticlol]

the lead singer is a faggot and freak

[thefatpunk]

yes

[IvyAntimonio]

Mrdanttasticlol, First thing that makes you a fucking asshole and great idiot: your stupid username... and that's only the beginning.

[wwjd0388]

tool*

[wwjd0388]

Your a bigot and a took

Random insults are easy.

[SkeltonKid]

...and you're a small-minded sack of shit. So, why don't you kill yourself?

[CONCRETE13]

Does this douche realize what kind of a carbon footprint a huge concert like this leaves? Does he realize how much gasoline was consumed to get bands, fans, and media to this event? Or how about the electricity used?

What a pompous, plant eating piece of shit. Hes going to harp on me for eating animals, which humans have been doing since the dawn of time. Eat shit fuck head.

[JisakuJ]

Agreed.

[meowmix2343]

You need to chill the fuck out! They didn't fly there! Gosh what do you live in some fuckin cave eating your shit all day.

[CONCRETE13]

Ok, so they didnt fly there. I bet they took a bus that runs on diesel though. Diesel is one of the dirtiest burning fuels there is. And I'd be willing to bet they dont run biodiesel. I do, does that mean Im better than them?

[DefBrif]

LOL your comment is mostly true.

[wwjd0388]

you are aware that all he did was state that he was vegan?  He didn't actually attack not being vegan. Tool

[CONCRETE13]

Ahhh, dumbshit, he said 'going vegan' is the way to make changes that affect us for years to come.

So he didnt come right out and say it, but are we going to split hairs here? Do I have to make the connection for you?

Fucking idiot.

[wwjd0388]

Someone is a little pissed off today.

And endorsing a lifestyle in the interest of making a change in the world is not an attack on those who don't. Im not vegan, and I didn't hear anything near as hostile as you are making it out to be.

[JSkidd18]

beautiful

[rightforkoff]

Bloody hell son of Bono!!!!!!!!

[4LeafClover4LC]

Going veg is not really helpful.... in what way?

[DreamOfWaking21]

I agree

You have to eat meat or that would overpopulate the world with animals

and sides it makes u really weak

Just look at a picture of davey before he went vegan, he was ripped now hes tiny.

[UnitedWeDivide]

Actually, animals can take care of themselves as far as a population. Humans have no place in the food chain.

All humans really do is screw up the chains by extincting key species.

[DefBrif]

No, Davey got fatter after he went vegan.

[IvyAntimonio]

DefBrif, You're a fucking blind! Look at the He who laughts at last video. He's really different. Not fat, but he's thiner now.- But he has been always the hottest guy in the world-

[DefBrif]

He clearly looks fatter here than he ever has.

[AFIForever1]

ahahaha you're funny he's got big muscles and a six pack dude not even close to fat

[DefBrif]

Right here in this video... He is at his fattest... Doesn't mean he doesn't have muscles...

[AFIForever1]

@DefBrif oh you mean like in his entire career then yah i agree

[DefBrif]

Hope it didn't sound offending, was just making a point.. I love AFI. And Davey didn't look fat when I saw him in September.

[Councillor4You]

Hello AFIForever again.

I am worried about whether or not you have looked for professional help yet. You desperately require professional help for your homosexual incest (tabooed by society), your being retard due to being an offspring of incest (and reason of your incest) and unwillingness to face the reality of your life.

Best Regards

From Nicolas Schudilar (Professional Psychological Analyzer)

[alpeperker]

highschool psychology...

[wwjd0388]

Wrong. Look at him from STS era. He was scary buff looking. WHILE he was vegan

[frozenKmadness]

This man can make me do anything! If he tell me "Jump." I will! He is incerdible. They are all incredibly good!

Make music, not war :P

[TsjaAFI]

almost new cd lovely song and the band is even better^^

[Ibeajivebren]

Curse those who use gasoline! wait... I bet a tour bus was involved and vans for this live earth stuff... or maybe even an airplane. I doubt they used an "automobile" that runs on vegetable oil

[Valloffthewall]

haha whatever IF he is gay. he's an amazing artist!

so whatever :D

[loserkidd234]

i <3 afi.. cant wait for there new cd

[crazyguylynx]

i didn't knew AFI were vegetarians

[palegreendead]

ballandbiscuit1, I don't know if davey is gay or not, but I find interesting that you are so quick to make the assumption (i.e. assigning traditional gender roles and traits). Mayhap, he is. Maybe not. Feminine does not necessarily mean gay. Davey can be rather effeminate, but that tells us relatively little.

[ballandbiscuit1]

is  davey gay ???

[twilightom666]

i love afi...but davey just isn't bowie. may not have been the best idea to try and cover this song.

[ThomasBorn92]

Use Automobiles

[6our6vampire6hearts]

ok is it just me or is Daveys voice like, god-sent??? or just Davey in general.

damn hes gorgeous!!!! my god AFI is amazing ^_^

[boysarefun]

afi sucks balls.

i cant believe they re-did such a masterpiece.

[thistimeimperfect156]

is it just me, or does davey sound a little different voice wise?

[xjustxthinkx]

yeah he was sick and losing his voie here :(:(

[bencore15]

2:55-2:57, I guess this is the reverb of the bass, huh? :D

[kmlars22]

hahaha. i never noticed that. funny

[SSJ2D2]

Okay, I was stupid to judge this band before listening to them. Fucking vegans who like david bowie! woot!

[Kuroda11]

I can't decide which of their covers I like better...the acoustic is good, and so is this...

o_o

AFI forever! <3

[HavokXgirlX]

i luvvvvvv it!!!!!!!!!!!

[HavokXgurl]

WOW AFI is sooooooooooo great i luv them and no offense to any david bowie fans but in my oppinion AFI does this song a bit better! but thats prolly only bc im an AFI fan!

[ThatsHellacool]

FUCK YOU

[Codilla13]

NICE!!

[MattA7Xfan4Life]

great vid

[xRitsukaAoyagi06]

i love this when David Bowie sings it cuz its his song ....even the afi version is good though :P

[JesseGuitar07]

nice video:)

5/5 from me !

thanks for post
