  • Haha, I like the mashup with Dave's Vanina starting around 3'40.

  • anyone else get to this via racer x?

  • Ronno makes the difference. His guitar sound was unique.

  • I LOVE Bowie. He's my favorite musician in the history of music. I'm moved by his music in the same way certain people are moved by church music. Having said that The Killers are my second favorite of all time. The fact that this combines the two is sheer genius to me. Just listen to the music. If you don't like it....move on. If do then enjoy. Don't argue about who's better because no one is ever going to win.

  • @PeteWentzRocks96 stop your nonsense,David Bowie has written more great songs than the Killers have dreamed of. Killers are the post 90`s crapola music referred to as 'product' not art. Monotone vocals(no range),verses homonymous with the choruses(bad songwriting) and unremarkable instrumental breaks(bad musicianship) Killers are in the same class as U2,Nickelback or Oasis,wanna-be artists putting out product that echoes with the sounds of salesmen.

  • @PAULOcbi I agree that Bowie has written more great songs than anyone( including The Killers) ever could and probably ever will. And I definitely think that no one but Mick Ronson and David Bowie should play this song again because no one can ever top them. I was just blown away at the fact that The Killers attempted it.. I don't particularly care for this version of the song, but I like The Killers. It's just an opinion. But you think they suck , and I respect your opinion

  • I like it and I love The Killers

    And would people please just accept other peoples opinions

    God.....

    xx?

  • I don't like The Killers at all, yet this is a decent cover.

  • actually, for those of you who think this and bowie's versions are good...listen to a real rock awesomeness version by an incredible band called zen guerrilla...they blast any competition away! incredible live band with an awesome frontman, that never got the recognition they deserved...do yourselves a favour and check it out! its amazing! nuff said :)

  • To all the Bowie Nazis talking shit here: This is more true to the Spiders From Mars than 90's Bowie onward so shut the fuck up and go suck a dick!

  • fuck off killers you wannabe bastards , they dont even deserve to listen to this song let alone cover it , hate on me all u want but this is bullshit

  • Uh yeah, they do a better version than the White Stripes LOL. And they do a good job at the over all riffs, and you can hear the uh...sliding-on-one-string (forgive me) thing that Ronson does, although they don't pull the solo off as well.

    I don't know any band that doesn't it better than them, they did a job good enough not to be embarrassed by.

    Although it is true indeed that no one tops Mick Ronson <3

  • I never cared for The Killers, but this cover isn't bad.

    David's definitely a better vocalist though.

  • Wish the sound quality was just a tad better. Otherwise really great. Excellent cover of one of my favorite Bowie songs.

  • Don't really like it but glad that the Killers like Bowie.

  • Oh dear who is this guy !!!!!!!!!!!! he so can t sing - what a cheek to try and cover any Bowie song tut tut - Killers ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah whatever

  • WOW i love this metallic sound of your voice man, fantastic

  • I don't usually write into these things,and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and while this is a pretty good cover and the Killers are a good band(loved the Del Shannon bit thrown into the mix), I Had Inadvertently just done a side by side listen to both this and the 'Ziggy' version.Anyone doing the same'experiment' will likely have the same result;The 'Ziggy ' version TOTALLY annihilates this version; The Reason?.....in one name......RONSON! End of Discussion~

  • As a lifelong Bowie fan this is a great cover . The killers are probably the heirs to bowies throne .

  • I think some people are judging with bias. This cover is fine. They stayed with the general composition of the song and didn't try to add any new extreme changes to it. The cover is good.

  • hey ellencaley why not just listen to the old music you dumb ass, this shit sucks and learn how to spell dork.

  • Oh, this is a travesty and totally embarrassing...

  • i like this cover and im glad the killers covered it as theyve opened up alot of old muic to me, for the poeple who disagree just shut up or fuck off

  • This was really awefull. A totally rubbish band messing up one of the best songs ever written and performed

  • i LIKE THIS , if anyboy doesnt like this ,everybody know where is the "door"¡

  • People don't have to stop covering Bowie songs, he is just a legendary musician and means a lot to some, covering a song is but a tribute. It's just that some people do it better than others. Killers just totally suck.

  • Every time a band tries to cover a Bowie song, they only manage to show their vast inferiority to him. Witness the pathetic attempts of these guys, the White Stripes, and that most pathetic band Nirvana and their butchering of The Man Who Sold the World.

  • @Jitpring. You said that perfectly.

  • Thank you sir.

  • I'm a girl but welcome xD

  • hahah.. .Sorry, my lady.

  • Lol, it's all gooood :)

  • No, it isn't. They butchered a great song.

  • Oh, no. I completely agree with you. I just ment it's ok that you called me "sir".

  • so true. totally butchered it.

  • Guitarist has some serious timing issues but still nice to see someone paying tribute to a great tune.

  • sounds fine, but some songs should be left perfect.

  • Agreed. This sounds dreadful - almost as horrid as the White Stripes attempt.

  • Mick Ronson's solo in the original is amazing. i think they needed to use a bit more distortion to get the same feel

  • killers=posers

  • They are okay, Nothing compared to Bowie and Ronson, but okay.

  • muy buen video!!! y que gran cover!! y que buenas imagenes!!! xD the killers son increibles y mas haciendo covers de artistas igual de increibles, te quedo muy bien vero, por cierto soy victor, del foro xD "el tio jonny" ya le puse 5 estrella n_n y gracias por usar mi imagen.
