[izabeleroberto]

Fodeu, sem cigarro numa hora dessas....

Deu Zebra mesmo.

Por qué Vevo graba sus videos con el volumen tan bajo?

[StealthEmerald]

Out of the blue or should i say grey...checkmate!!

[SuperJorgegaleano]

amo esta canción desde que la escuché por vez primera, esos acordes que tiene son tan mágicos

[NevermindTheGame]

What's the first song playing?

[miami1726]

Happy Birthday Mr. Bowie!

[tiffneedle]

Happy Birthday David!

[mcqueen5]

I had the most wonderful pleasure in working on this film for 8 weeks at Shepperton Studios.David was so nice, love that man!

[BillyJimOMFG]

They sit there, shitting.

Null functional capacity while offering false sense of security.

Now watch the European Banks and the response there to prop up the pound...

Here come the Security Threats from the other capitalists they have done this to. Do it while the banks are shaking...

SILENCE.

[BillyJimOMFG]

This is WHAT they do. This is what CSIS did to US, British families, in Winnipeg in 1998. 3 miles away, they will watch the World burn like they are now, offering "not even buying a phone to keep it sane and simple"s upport. Then after, they'll call the same one Dr of psychiatry.

Is THAT terrorism or what? 3 miles away.... even as England shits and the MArkets start to crumble. Look at France... Eau du Confidense smell all over the streets...

[BillyJimOMFG]

Are you having a Love In with the Feds down there again? Are you "rubbing more than pork shoulders" during this "event" ?

This one's for you downstairs at 360 Main St, Dave..... SHUT your fucking face, old man.

Phone your mom. I know the ge difference is pretty close...

[BillyJimOMFG]

I haven't forgotten you downtown Winnipeg, CSIS. Obviously you wanted what was ""best" for me and MY financial interests when you not-bought, then un-bought in opposites- the unn noted a cell phone.

Pretty pricey ride, that 'Stang of mine huh? CSIS? HEllo? You watching all the way over there. Watch your "old friends" disappear...England. Best way on Earth to kill America.

[rochebaudelaire]

David Bowie le bien nommé : le roi David, le seul, l'unique.

[MrJommycross]

Very gooooood...Hi, Dave!!

[YorkistWhiteRose]

Never have two Youtube windows open simutaneously. You'll leave the Becket comment on Absolute Beginners and vice versa (bangs head against wall).

[Twentecable]

This song really needs constitute... surve the first 1.30 minutes and this is getting so wonderfull!

[merit66]

Deepest respect for everything he had ever done in music. THANK YOU!

[Nicole19187]

Bowie and this song.....reminds of good old times when love and relationship meant Something.... awesome track...... ".... As long as we're together, everythin' else can go to HELL...." Love You :-*

[TSpike73]

@Nicole19187 yup, he always was a hard core champion of traditional values.

[Nicole19187]

I Love You Bowie :-*

[liquidcontrol]

man, listening to this song after some asshole you liked, cheated on his gf with you without you knowing is... horrible. BOWIE COME SING TO ME! And tour, now. I need you all up in my face!

[TonyWilliams94s]

he look like frank sinatra

[19hst11]

absolute perfect

[lanastus123]

Some of the best music ever written!!!!

[Cobr3tti]

what a masterpiece!

[YorkistWhiteRose]

Something about this video reminds me of Val Lewton's "Cat People."

[ConchiAngora]

Mi gran amor platónico.

[luis1972isabel]

what a voice that men had, its a spectacular music

[alixinthemiddle]

such a great, underrated song..

what's the movie in the background?

[FLRB91]

@alixinthemiddle It's also called "Absolute Beginners".

[Missmoneypenny7]

@alixinthemiddle The Movie is called: Absolute Beginners

[Deputybluevein]

Theres only 1 David Bowie.

[Deputybluevein]

This song is absolutely underrated in my opinion.But thats what i love about it. Its a rare track thats not slotted in with the mainstream bullshit, that music is nowadays.It just shows Bowie's true talent.He is so versatile in what he does.It has a sense of sadness with the balance of hope.Ingenius.Check out loving the alien.

[reverbstudios]

This video reminds me of early sexual awakenings for some reason..!

[deepbluewaterful]

Artists from the past, like David Bowie, gives me hope in this capitalistic human sad reality

[miczkomstin]

robert mierzwa

[TheBooperdoo]

It`s funny because when you think of the trend, this song is always forgotten. This is one of my favourite Bowie songs ever.

A.

[WeirdMystery2012]

I love that look when he realizes he's out of smokes.

[jrfuent]

I remember this came out in 1986 directed by Julian Temple (Great Rock and Roll Swindle) and it was a year after my british gal Susan went back to Brighton, England. Starring Patsy Kensit who was only 16 I believe. Now after tons of plastic surgery she's an unrecognizable mess. Anyway, this tune will always remind me of my best friend at the time, Bernie and I used to go to his apt and watch MTV. He had cable, I didn't. This always reminded me of Susan.

[metjovi]

9 people are absolute beginners in music.

[schef75]

Hi! I'm a space traveller from 1.000 light years away. I just tuned this song on my spacecraft, and all the crew is singin' up here: The Earth rules!

[Eggs4Eva]

[hokuspokus73]

Jednostavno savršeno. Definitivno ova stvar spada u top 10 meni dragih pjesama

[upthepole]

Heard this the other day on the radio...forgot how good this song really is. Just seems to get into my head and cant stop humming it all thro the day. Bowie, one of my all time favourites.

[MELLAMANPEREZA]

los muertos de los anuncios

[wokkie78]

wow brings back memories..i was like 5 or 6 years old back then

[bartonim]

This song does several things for me: it brings back great memories, it stands to me as one of Bowie's finest, and it makes me cry at the utter and complete beauty it is infused with. A great song. A classic.

[hereg2007]

absolute fantastic song

[beckysidblease]

[Nokturnal1999]

I hate publicity



[Haravec]

@Nokturnal1999 adblock plus

[chatty4kathy]

slated at the time - by those with no ears - lol - but turned out to be one of the greatest love songs of all time. Amy also would have done this proud. RIP 2 her. Geniuses both. Shame they will never perform together :-(

[MangaTokyoMewMew]

Mr BOWIE IS AWESOME!! bless him UwU

[MrCharliefarlie123]

i absolutely love him x

[jaysea32]

Tune

[pimpe1967]

[demacaol]

An absolute flop

[TheThinduke01]

one of the last remaining living legends,God bless him

[gewglesux]

Encore!

[ThatOddStranger]

David Bowie is still better then half of the bullshit today. Yep.

[thegazzamataz]

@ThatOddStranger Doesnt take a legend to be better than most of the shite today, cat out the back door on a friday night makes easy listen compared to today ;-)

[thevoid99]

@ThatOddStranger correction: bowie is better than all of the bullshit out there.

[Novakaine6]

@ThatOddStranger only half ?

[meigsman59]

@ThatOddStranger I would venture to say better that all!!

[MichaelJordanable]

@ThatOddStranger

U are saying that other part of "the bullshit" is better then him.

[robertrichards777]

vevo suck.......but great song/vid.......thankyou

[Marrtichoras]

muss die werbung für die vogelscheuche gaga da stehen?

[MauroPaltoudias]

A living myth. I never had the chance to see him performing.

[WhitneyGetz]

The picture is choppy.

[Sashy42]

its like West Side Story meets the Maltese Falcon :)

[ShangriLaEasterEgg]

TURN THIS SHIT UP! :)

[JimJarmuschCollector]

BA-BA-BA-OOOO

[posro1988]

selena your stare doesn't bother me..at all

[THEprincessFirefly]

i love the bogart look, bowie fits it well. but then again he'll fit a butlap sack :P

[ludwig6660]

...awesome...pure class!!

[zarkbot88]

Somehow, I manage to think that this song would've been great to hear in a mid to late 80s John Hughes movie.

[secretfire79]

this is an example how music should be made

[imissthe80s100]

Fucking timeless @ great..

[MegaTerry1972]

great song one of my all time favourites, keep up the good work david,

[embojitsu]

Oh David, you never fail to astound me. Your incredible sexual chemistry, your talent, your professionalism, your voice...what an artist to the world we have in David Bowie.

[MissAndyZ]

I love this song =)

[Laudanu10]

I've nothing much to offer, There’s nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner, As long as we're together...The rest can go to hell, nothing much could happen, nothing we can't shake, Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need.

[madasahammer1]

the jams one is better

[gabrielirlanda]

100% purity music

[vigovinie1]

I´ve read in The Independent that Bowie, Bryan Ferry and others once praised the National Front. Bowie also talked about Hitler in a positive way. This ban was actually the english National Front slogan at that time. Useless and confusing to me, I came here to listen to a "love" song. Being brilliant is not an excuse for making bad, cheap and racist propaganda, even well paid. Certainly not... This is not part of any Bowie album: it´s a movie track.

[kittyprydekissme]

@vigovinie1 I think his wife is Somali, actually.

[nGrEng]

@vigovinie1 His wife is black....

[Surirygirl]

What album is this off of?

[Reecewarren01]

7 people don't know brilliant music when they hear it

[vigovinie1]

I´ve just got scared and confused seeing the "Keep Britain White" ban in the bar seeing this video for the first time, actually. I´m 30 and have all the CDs. I don´t like today´s music. I can hear it, but NOT FEEL IT. I mean, Bowie is one of the greatest artists of all times and I like the lyrics, but WHAT IS THAT ? Huh ! Disappointing... No, there´s no word... How can somebody just perform so well being so "inspiring" and then... giving us to see this piece de shit fallen right in the middle ?

[PupSchoonagliffen]

@vigovinie1 It's... part of the video....

What makes you think he means it?

[EdinWS4]

@vigovinie1 It's a clip from the film of the same name, not necessarily David Bowie's opinion about keeping Britain White. His wife is Asian I believe, so I do hope you're not scared and confused any more.

[janochanotariusz]

damn..this is so similar to this song from the cats musical called memory...

[majordoom1]

The intro is awesome !

[kangurome]

absolutely stunning !

[goblinking169]

vevo! the quality of your video is shit!!!

[cdenesha]

shitty shitty shitty

[JRCrowley]

@cdenesha Oh yeah? And what do you have to offer? Nada. Go fuck yourself.

[AGCS1985]

Most 80´s music videos stink. But Bowie is so WOW the lame movie making of the time is easy to forgive.

[nigelrosie]

good times

[xthe3time]

Questa canzone e questo video sono stupendi

[rekoonsghjkl]

proud to have lived n the same area Bowie lived until he was 6.

[lifeonmarsfull]

this song is more of a masterpiece

[thevoid99]

@lifeonmarsfull it's classic. one of my favorite bowie songs ever and one of his favorites from the 80s.

[Bleumange]

@84heroes1 What I don't think you understand is that apart from rick james and lou christie's material, this is close to being the worst song ever recorded.

[LauristPrueMC]

[CAT1830]

Talento, abuso de acordes e imaginación, el sentir de decir lo que se quiere decir, imaginación desbordada.

verdaderamente sorprendente!!!

[darryllobo14]

looking at where its most popular ... I wouldn't have guessed Italy lol

[DanieldelosAndes]

Entre tanta mediocridad y vulgaridad,una clase magistral de como hacer POP,con mayusculas....admirable,esteti­camente impecable,memorable,el mejor Bowie...

[RudeBhoy21]

Second comment of the day...Simon Cowell and co wouldn't have a clue what to do with a man like this!

[RudeBhoy21]

VERY TALENTED MAN INDEED...SO CREATIVE AND SEEMS TO BRING SUCH IMAGINATION TO HIS WORK BUT IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN INTO A SONG, IT'S PERFECT, A MUSIC VIDEO, PERFECT! Always impressive to see pue talent like this.

[MOCONKLIN]

Even when people say Bowie had a lean period in the 80's his music was still better than everyone elses.

[yourown99]

@MOCONKLIN everyone had a lean period in the late 80s.

[meadish]

@yourown99 I have to disagree with you there, the 80s were only crap on the surface, digging a little deeper we find The Cure, Joy Division, The Pixies, New Order, R.E.M., Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, The Smiths... etc.

[yourown99]

@meadish yes, you are right. but in the sufrace it was the worst music perios ever. only in the surface :)

[MrDrakeponder]

@meadish yeah sorry mate... but mentioning those bands just proves are poo the 80's was saying that Metal was strong back then.

[kewrock]

@MOCONKLIN Lean in the 80's?? Bowie was huge in the 80's. I was there, I remember. Tickets to the general public for the Let's dance tour sold out in 8 minutes for Madison Square Garden.

[spscotto]

@MOCONKLIN the fact that music like this came out during his "low point" just shows you how much more talented he is than most artists of the time!

[ITSFULLOFSTARS1]

@MOCONKLIN

That's true if you were born in the 50s or early 60's, but if you were born in 1970 like I was, the 80's Bowie was explosive in Los Angeles, I was in my teenage years at the time. Great memories of a great period in music, this song reminds me of a David Bowie ala Frank Sinatra ode to the 80's.

[TheTeamEvil]

@MOCONKLIN Bowie was amazing in the 80's

[KUUSproductions]

@MOCONKLIN Blame 'Never let me down'

[adeofspades1]

@MOCONKLIN TOO true

[centory25]

7 persons don't like talent...

[centory25]

OMG ! this sonnng ! I forgot it ! too beautifrul !!! I love it, David Bowie has got a so beautiful voice ! ! thank Emimusic to post it !!!!! it's in my favorites now !!! :D!!!!

lol

[The31415927]

So as for old Jen...she didnt have the iq to know what I was saying or how to spot. She went pseudo and stupid, and thats why they tried bringing the long dead first kiss back in 1996.

Lawyers get people KILLED. They don't save lives. Generally. Especially not the ones CAUGHT in complicity with the State. I just needed phone number evidence on letterheads to see the point of those two connections. They were applying for jobs, literally. TERRORIST STATE. No good news, sorry. It's 1982 in Canada.

[The31415927]

All I can treally do is watch, I dont have the resources to do anything else and I'm getting feedback like in the 80s. There's nothing I can do after that third ripoff.

England didnt go down on any luxury liner, it was bought and paid for by a Clinton, screamed into by a Jew that then screamed into me like I was a Bart Simpson title scene and nobody will tell me what they see. All I see is the SNUFF. Brain death, psyche shot by shot. Like B.O.B and Airplanes etc.

"oh..the dead babies...dying"etc

[The31415927]

By Elite it took me 27 year to have that understanding of people and things, and it cant be erased by a deserting, shitfaced shrink who read a textook and gets company spiffs for drug trials. What you see in Japan, the death in Britain the WTCs...all William NOT being it. The new music which is aborting commercials to beastiality plugs? His father and their generation of sickos trying to recover. Me? Not lifiting a finger. I dont have a cent, was ruped off again, forced by an idiot again.

[The31415927]

So I never got a slice of American pie at all. Dont even know what it is, only from description, and as far as I can tell it's fatal shit cake that leaves everyone thinking "they're the Supermodel, the original, the Saint, the One, the Knight etc.".

I could rely on them to steal it. 7-7, 9-11...all Jon swinging into position with his Jew partner in crime which took 14 years because William ISNT capable, and the countried burned killing millions because of his goofy sons face and his "pride".

[The31415927]

So now you have a bit of a better idea what the Irishman who was running Britain from the Palace was talking about when he shit himself shaking and the old man from CSIS said "ask for Dave". Now you understand the Typewriter joke (to erase his embarassment at the expense of all life on earth), Deb Adams' typewriter that cued the false arrest etc. It was Jon in England (the opposite) suggesting I check out Elite so he could scream "you're history Colin" on launch day because his gimp son was high

[The31415927]

The amount of brain damage caused by that kind of low velocity penetration will offer at BEST a slow death with massive , potentially lifelong suffering and retardation, loss of cognition and motor skills and paralysis offering best case scenario if survived.

I've got "something" for you too..."Officer of the Court" that "thought....thought...that"

[The31415927]

A 30 grain load bullet will penetrate the skull if it's fired within about 10 feet of the subject, but only about 1 to 1.5 inches into the soft tissue. This will cause death if not operated on immediately, but most certainly paralysis , internal bleeding and a plethora of metal poisoning. Infection being the number one threat to the target.

If the patient isnt killed immediately, and they survive the surgery, the will most likely die from infection. Failing that, paralysis for life and SPASTIC.

[The31415927]

it;s travelling at such a high rate the the slowing in effective range is negligible and barely noticable, however it starts to slow immediately upon exiting the barrel due to loss of back pressure.

Typical grain load for a 9mm would be about 115 grains with about a 130 grain weight bullet. In this "mistakes" case, it's going to be about 30 grain of powder in a 130 grain round.

[The31415927]

The bullet continues to travel faster and faster thru the barrel as the gas expands rapidly behind it until it emerges from the muzzle (not a dig referewnce Mr Bonds) , the end with the hole in it. As the bullet exits the muzzle there is a loud bang. This is from the compacted gasses suddenly losing any directional resistance and hitting open air expanding to its maximum dispersal as a cloud almost instantly, supersonically , making the bang you hear. From this point on the bullet slows ..

[The31415927]

the barrel essentially wrapped around it. The rapid expansion of gas from the explosion has nowhere else to go and seeks the path of least resistance (like a politician or a crooken cop or Princess) which is to force the bullet out. The bullet (just the small bit at the end) is forced at high velocity as the gasses expand in the chamber behind it. That's why its called "chambering a round". It has nothing to do with Chamber Maids and Drs. in Victorian Sheds...with pissing pots

[The31415927]

A gun works like this. There's a metal shell casing contaning power grains with a cap in the bottom that makes a small bang. At the other end is a bullet pushed into the casing until it fits snugly. It's just squished in there. A pin hits the cap in the centre of the bottom and makes a small bang with sparks. Those sparks hit the powder grains (like black pepper in appearance) which makes a much bigger explosion. The pressure wants to just blow the shell casing open but its held in shape by..

[theackster]

I am a hardcore punk,thrash metal head and and have to say Bowie is the greatest entertainer of his era,maybe of all time.This may be my all time favourite song.Or even Putting Out Fire!Check out his work in Tin

Machine.The Frank Sinatra of Rock.The best!
