The Killers moonage daydream video version

[MultiLadystardust]

I don't think anyone else has done a better version of this song. Flowers does a grand job, fair play to him he pulls it off.

[strudel60]

I don't think there is anybody better today to cover this song .... Nice version and I do know bowies versions only to well!

[cgnetwork1]

Nobody who covers this song can seem to help but mimic David's voice...

[asylem]

i think i uploaded this to the killers messageboard long time ago. my computer crashed and i lost the video, but im glad someone held onto it :) its the vegas show right? do u remember whoyou got it from?

[Reveltt]

Shit... This is fucking terrible...

[xraeddie]

@Reveltt maybe the recording is but the performance is pretty damn awesome...thought I'd point that out since you obviously missed it!

[lotenma]

if you upload a music vid, than at least be sure the sound is good FFS!!

[jimmythecreep]

these guys r better at covers then their own stuff...brightside and somebody told me are their best tunes....that's only my opinion...choice cover :)

[QueenBitchMajorTom]

pretty sweet version of one of bowie's most sacred songs ;)

[101morgen101]

Solos crap

[bordn21]

man WTF this is a great song, and the killers are bad ass, but why do you people post these bullsht iphone (or whatever) vids. Hell even the Bowie version from the 70's is way better quality. Do youtbe a favor and keep this shit on your f-n P-O-S camera!!

[XLStress]

@bordn21

This was recorded during 2005 dude. No phones with good cameras were really available yet.

[therealCanablisS]

great cover if t he audio was better ,,, loving the bass tho fo sho'

[mralmeister1]

@therealCanablisS thats cause they were down front...sound is usually always crap in front.

[therealCanablisS]

@mralmeister1 ya true it ,,,great cover tho ,,,,,,im usually very critical of covers but this is done nicely still likin the bass

[MalchikGii]

powerful bass

[maeusesheriff]

what a great voice!!!

[peacenate]

well, Brandon sounds like he memorised the vocal from Bowie

[MrWombat21]

sensational - I'm a massive fan of the Ziggy Live version of this wonderful song, but these guys pay homage and do it very well.

[BLITZKRIEG66688]

not even a sniff near ronson stick to pop tones lol

[woahuplayguitar]

i read somewhere that bowie was the biggest inspiration on their newest album. now i know that is true! :)

[JanetofAvalon]

Love the bass

[azngreenteas]

good bass by mark hahaha

[Ghosafizzle]

Wow Brandon Flowers does a surprisingly good Bowie.

Anyways I think the Killers started out really great and it's been all downhill from there :(

Jenny was a friend of mine is still their best song.

[Laurenn421]

@Ghosafizzle I agree

[mrpollostick]

I actually like this cover Bowie is better tho lol

[lvpretor]

I'm a Las Vegas native. Gotta love the Killers. This cover really means a lot to a lot of people. This song is .........well, what can I say?

[somerled73]

these guys blow...

[WILLOW5033]

@somerled73.

They clearly aren't as good as Bowie. But anyone who does a song with Lou Reed can't be half bad.

[Marikrmen24]

Nothing compares to Bowie & Mick <3! Love them for ever!!!

[mystoermerwithme]

Ziig, where was this taped? And when?

And why? No, lol

Lemme know, please.

[Operaandchant90]

I LOVE THIS it is brilliant! :D

<3 The Killers too much :P

[WetheBest96]

Bowie is still Better

[EyMeng]

Of Course.

[ger869]

not bad but i prefer other covers like Romeo & Juliet, Shadowplay, or Why don't you find out for yourself.

[caligirl2191]

great vid!!

when is this from?

[dylancash7]

Camille o sullivan does a good job though

[dylancash7]

Ok in my opinion this is a very poor cover and should never even been attempted!

[insaneforstuff254]

Hey, people stop bashing them. If they wanted to play a David Bowie song, fine! Let them. It's their choice, and they did pretty well.

Nobody can do David Bowie's voice well, but David Bowie.

And as far as bad covers go (and this is NOT a bad cover.) look up Barbra Streisand's cover of Life On Mars.

Then tell me this sucks.

Everyone has their own opinions, but try to show them with respect to others.

[LUDWIKVAN69]

they killed this song, ziggy must be crying in mars

[nec550]

they are killers, its normal ... lol ok thats bad, but they suck, listen racer x version its awesome

[EyMeng]

lol thats hilarious

[kenshinsbaka]

David Bowie's version is better than this crap. :/ Sad to think they came from my hometown..

[sugarkaneandchloe]

when will this third rate covers band stop ruining my favourite songs? Oh god just f*8k off. This is so bad I have no words. they must have similiar taste to me which is gutting. Joy Division, Bowie.....just leave em alone. Killers in deed as well as name. Awful. And before u all slag me off...I dont give a f8ck. You have no taste so are underneath me. You deserve this crap.

[SCrisp1990]

'You have no taste so are underneath me. You deserve this crap. '

Riiiight...okaaaaayyyy mate. If it's so bad, just go listen to the version you like. It's not hard. People like what they like. No need to insult people for no reason, especially over a song.

[LUDWIKVAN69]

wise words

[acdcjoey]

wow this cover doesnt suck like most ive seen

[cieggou]

el bass se la lleva because near

but this son is solo final

[blackenigma777]

the killers do the best cover of this song. like they capture the song so well with that bass line. it almost reminds me of the performance at hammermith but its just a lil slower, but just as edgy

[aliceofwonder]

look up an of montreal cover and you will be in aww over it.

[elleviesmusique]

Haha,oh my goodness - I took this video! Thanks so much for uploading this,I haven't a clue where the original file is anymore. I swear.. I wasn't the one who said "oh my god you are too amazing!"..:/. Hah,well,you're only thirteen once.

Thanks!

- Elle

[ropersnoop]

someone tell whoever was filming, it was the GUITARIST who was playing the guitar solo.

[elleviesmusique]

I know,but I was too far away from dave to get a decent close up! :( I was just using a point and shoot that couldn't zoom when filming. Give a girl a break,I was thirteen.

[ropersnoop]

ok, fair enough!

[kittydeveer]

the best version ever of this song is by ZEN GUERRILLA

[walkdontwalkplease]

I've rarely heard this song played so shite.

And - praising the bassist for an arrangement a 5 year old could play? The beauty of almost all of Bowies music was the writing of it, not the bands ability to play it.

Also, note the crowd of Killers fans not knowing the song at all.

[johnhall123456789]

bass rules

[leonrobinson]

I think we should especially congratulate the bass player - he did an amazing job...

[S76N79]

Brandon's voice sounds great here.

[1076rj]

Racer X cover > Killers cover

Nothing beats the Racer X cover ;)

[Jirlow]

Ziggy Stardust! Put your space face close to mine love!

[oliverandjohn2]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooow

[adamrayne]

What a sweet boy.

[Bowiefanperson]

Is that at like a prom, or a Birthday party. Before they were famous I assume.

[GlennQuinnFan]

This video was actually taken during the last leg of their Fall 2005 American tour in either Las Vegas or New York most likely. I saw them play this live in Long Beach which was the show in between the NY and LV shows. It was amazing!

[Blacknarcissa]

Brandon and Bowie Duet

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. :]

We need to set up a petition. x]

[Bowiefanperson]

I would assume that he likes the killers, but it would be funny if he hated the band. Even if he was their main inspiration. A duet would be really cool though.

[littleoogie]

No, he loves them! I started liking them because I read his journal on BowieNet where he was recommending them as a good band like in 2004 in the beginning. I really REALLY wish they would sing together. Someday *prays*.

[Bowiefanperson]

Yea, that would be so sweet. Go to Ipetitions now!

[ChoppinBroccoli22]

that would be awesome!  it could happen, he played with arcade fire at fashon rocks.

[littleoogie]

I hope since they did a duet with Lou Reed, we are half-way to Bowie, lol.

Cool fact: I read in a magazine that the reason why Brandon's keyboards are all decked out in sequins is because he decorated them specially for a night he knew Bowie would be coming to see the Killers in concert. It's that awesome?!

[motellife]

that is the greatest story of them i've ever heard. fuck, if i was in a band and i knew bowie was going to see me play live i'd cover myself in sequins just for him.

[oliverandjohn2]

Very good idea

[emilydisney123]

wow this is amazing love this s0ng soooo much

[josale19]

the killers are so good making covers.

[xaxamayaiuffa]

no really i have to stop to see this.. it makes me orgasmes!!!lol that "ohhh lay the real thing on me"...

i love this

[xaxamayaiuffa]

this is such a great cover!!!!!if i ever seen them live, i will put a big paper in the air saying: Moonage daydream cover!!!pls!(bf your hot marry me!) lol but this is so good makes me almost cry..

[darinboue]

They have a great sound for this song, Bowie fan approves. tHumbs up. check out Seu George from the soundtrack life aquatic with steve zissou for some great covers

[racyweb]

Love the Killers love this Bowie track - what a great combination
