  • bowie perfection!

  • 2:49 rit reooww ;)

  • This song is the last thing to go through Osama Bin Laden's head...well, other than that Navy Seal's bullet

    :)

  • David Bowie is the reason I got into guitar and started singing again, he really inspires me. HE IS AWESOME!!!!

  • De las rolas que han hecho presencia con mi carnal Hugo. En esas noches de Richarson blue.

  • im afraid of americans too

  • @chrisandnicky LOL

    

  • Oh STOP! please read into the subtleties(haha) ...(I'm afraid of Americans, I'm afraid I can't help it, I afraid of the world) and look at his other song....Young American...

  • Oh STOP! please read into the subtleties(haha) ...(I'm afraid of Americans, I'm afraid I can't help it, I afraid of the world)

  • its so easy to criticize the next door neighbor, its easy to hate our parents.. Afraid of Americans, Afraid of the world.... America is what the world wants to be, so everyone hide in the socialistic veil. Freedom is indeed scary...

  • He may be afraid of Americans but he damned sure aint afraid of taking American dollars... 'Nuff said...

  • Why he sing God is an American? Because America claimed to be one but isn't.

    Debt, Debt, Debt can afford nothing.

    I would say God owned you and you not own God!

  • I'm afraid of americans and I'm afraid of their debts.

  • david should be back on the road and making a dvd of his world tour so i can buy it!!! or did he get fat and is ashamed???

  • Bad ass!

  • Afraid of gringos, not of the americans. America is not a country is a whole continent

  • I'm American, but I'm afraid of Americans. I guess it's because I'm Native American, I'm afraid someone is going to pop out of nowhere and give me smallpocks, STD's and a bullet in the brain.

  • pretty sharp guy ...

  • America is awesome!!!!

  • ...but he's not afraid to take our money...

  • @avdad2000 I'm sure if you were offered a lot of money you'd take it..

  • @KateLlewellyn As long as I earned it, yea sure :)

  • @KateLlewellyn As long as I earned it, yea sure :) Don't get me wrong, I love Bowie...

  • @avdad2000 Bowie does so much more than just earn the money he makes :D He deserves the world's money, he's such an amazing artist :D He's sexy, too.. ^o^

  • lol david a prohetic of the world....uhmm he is a good drugged out singer buttt, economy might escape him...and politics ahve probably overcome him by events,,,many many years ago....

  • I was 3rd row center on this tour. When he perfomed this,it took me to another dimension.....

  • It's sad, but true. Americans don't need anyone they don't even just pretend. To be fair his description of Americans is more about some areas like New York and L.A. where some people have more money than God. I think people who are poor in the South and other parts of America are more down to earth and treat people better. In America we also have a CASTE system.

  • I fear people that fear America.

  • feel free to respond to this, just know that i'm too busy listening to David Bowie to care.

  • I'm American. Love it. Fear me. Fear my government and my big ass unstoppable army. I absolutely do believe I'm better than everyone and that we are justified in EVERY war. I love this song. I think Julian Assange thinks he's a bigger deal than he is, and I think other people try to make him look bigger than he is, because it makes them think that their liberal agenda is going somewhere. It's not. Neither are we.

  • Comment removed

  • David Bowie just gets better with time, He is

    pure genius!!!

  • If a Brit reveals the trurh, what would the others do...

  • what dvd is this off?

  • "god is an american" may be the best part even

  • i got to see him on this tour. what a treat. never forget it. i love this song, too.

  • We all should ask ourselves if the world IS really afraid of Americans. We The People's military budget is more than the entire world combined-We are only 6% of the worlds population. I can see how some may feel like We have a gun to everyones head. 1.2 million per cruise missile verses 45,000.00 for a teacher...A revolution the people work for and earn verses the USA, Inc. to the rescue with its contractors such as XE (BlackWater).

  • @stynqueone agreed

  • @stynqueone:

    David Lloyd George - British Prime Minister (1916-1922): These Americans are as proud as Satan.

  • he said he's afraid of the world too. so he's afraid of everybody? or maybe we're just over analyzing this song?

  • @dave62x Denial

    

  • Brits like to have tea and a chat~i do> afraid I cant help it....>

  • OH! I FORGOT CANADIANS

  • is he also afraid of mexicans, central and south AMERICANS?

  • google brought me here..

  • I'm afraid of being afraid but prejudicial to prejudice!

  • I'm afraid of Micronesians and whatever it is people from Guam are called.

  • You wonder why Americans have a bad rep and then you make a statement like that: "cross dressing fag-drag queen" You are a small-minded fool. Maybe listen to the lyrics again and think about what they could mean. Think deep. Deeper than the surface value. Now ask yourself: Why would anyone be 'afraid of America'?

  • @Beaunze AHHHH..we have a "bad rep"????? People are "afraid of Americans" Idiot..because WE call the shots...we have the strongest military the world has ever seen....we dictate world affairs with men dying everyday to keep the world a democracy and FREE.....you don't like our "rep"..go move to England where Bowie's from. Guess what??..he LIVES in AMERICA

  • @mjw9363This is too funny! Bowie is singing precisely about YOU! and the likes of you.You ARE Johnny! :D Flag-waving, arrogant, gay-bashing, meddling, belittling, loud-mouth, obnoxious, overbearing, out-screaming, chest-pounding, might-is-right preaching, self-deluding, gun-toting, rape-practicing, sex-scared, violent, paranoid, end-of-world and rapture-clamouring self-righteous nutty-nut! :D "Military"+"democracy!"Are you listening to yourself?! "Ram YOUR TRUTH down his throat, brother,YEAH!"XD

  • @BeyondDreamTime awww..you gonwa huerwt my fewwings.....and like all people with money or a CHOICE ... Bowie.lives in AMERICA......

  • @mjw9363 :D Yes, perhaps... But so do you... Sowwy. :) America saved the world, and the world is safe now. Darn, how did I miss that?! :)

    Also, new MacDodo ad: "Have you smacked a 'foreigner' in the mouth today? Do so, then come in for your Happy Meal!" :D (Disclaimer: only kidding.)

    Democracy lives on. :) Yeah bratha'! Preach it till you believe it! :D

  • @BeyondDreamTime you missed America saving the World???....get an education and some world history books...you'd be speaking German or Russian right now it it wasn't for AMERICA......

  • @mjw9363 (You're proud of your education, I take it?) So instead I will speak to you recent American: "Jawohl, Herr Bus(c)h!" And perhaps in future American, who knows: "Jawohl, Fräulein Palin!" ;) (Laugh? Cry? IDK...)

    But you're still missing the point, Johnny: it isn't even America, that the song is about - it is you, your shouting, your incessant petulant stomping and self-worshipping. (Besides, you have more of a plutocracy, rather than democracy - and that *is* spreading, so rejoice.:)

  • @BeyondDreamTime You make that point so well. r.

  • @BeyondDreamTime Democracy??? In The UK????....try socialism... monarchism..here it is the 21st century and you bow to a Queen??..A "Prince??"..your government owns and operates your TV???...your radio????...why would a "Democracy" have to have over 100 pirate radio stations??? A country where the USA had to park boats of your "Democratic" shores to pump in the music the people actually wanted. Know how many "pirate" radio stations America has EVER had????...ZERO..that's a REAL Democracy, Douche

  • @mjw9363 :D You've been misinformed. :) I don't bow. You've been misinformed in other ways too, "I'm afraid." :) But that is how I prefer to have you, Johnny: misinformed. It's not so much a fear issue. Rather of trust -- which you failed to earn again and again. And no chest-pounding, no insults, no attempts at ramming will ever earn you that, Johnny. You, Johnny, did not invent democracy, and you don't own the copyright. Should I return the insult by calling you a name? I will: Johnny. :)

  • @BeyondDreamTime mm mm..you wouldn't bow in the introduction to a Royal..my ASS Dude...you come from a country that couldn't mount a revolt under 800 years of Roman Rule and only to replace it with Tyrants and "Queens"....Pathetic...No wonder Bowie LIVES HERE....and not TOO misinformed about your Government controlled television and Radio.....you have to come on to America owned and operated sites to cry.....we didn't invent Democracy?? Really??..not the 2000 years ago Greece Blah..lame argument

  • @mjw9363 I'm growing bored of repeating myself. Suffice to say you're "operating under false assumptions." Then you call a reference I haven't made to the Cradle of Western Civilisation "lame," but speak of "Roman Rule." Pardon me, but: "WTF, dude?!" It's you who has mentioned both the Greeks and the Romans, yet you dismiss one and use the other as example. You're a bit random and 'cavalier' about history, "ain't ya, Johnny?" :) And where were you then, where was "US of A?" Wait 2,000 years. :)

  • @mjw9363 No you "don't" call the shots anymore. Countries like China call the shots in many ways now and America can't just do whatever it wants like it once did. Do you honestly "believe" that America is not afraid of other parts of the world?

    Time to pull your ignorant and arrogant head from your arse little man and wake up to the world as it stands in 2011.

  • @mjw9363 He's not talking shit on America. You are a philistine.

  • @underfoil Okay..only someone who is mentally ill calls someone a "Philistine"????...yeah, your right IDIOT..he's singing positively on the USA....get real, man.....read lyrics..LEARN lyrics

  • @mjw9363 Philistine.

  • David Bowie lives in New York. This great song is just one piece of his fantastic artistic production.

    The only things we have to be afraid of are Stupidity and Ignorance.

  • why do other countries hate americans just because u see something from a tv screen dosent mean that everybody is like that and foreigners cant seem to grasp that

  • @lark0601

    Do you live under a rock? Or are you just oblivious to history. We do do some pretty good things, but we do a whole lot of bad. If tanks rolled through your streets blazing Canadian flags and began shooting at your neighbors, you'd likely get pretty pissed off at the Yanks. Our affluence is derived from other people's suffering. It's a hard fact to swallow and an even harder one to get around.

  • @lark0601 You just referred to them as foreigners. Foreign doesn't mean 'not American', pal. I mean, as an American, I get wanting to defend your home--especially against someone from England (we learned it by watching you). But that whole 'foreigners' thing is part of why people don't like Americans. The rest of the world is not a monolith--for that matter, neither is the U.S. As I once told my aunt, there's no such country as foreign.

  • I rather americans than chinese, they're around the corner..

  • Who isn't afraid of Americans??..we KICK ASS!

  • Americans are the most unpleasant people on earth,and they can be pleasant if they were not so stuck-up and arrogant.it's just that stuffy attitude you guys have that other people don't like about you.be miore pleasant and less stuffy.

  • Comment removed

  • He just doesn't understand that America is the most glorious, rich, powerful, beautiful country in the world. Without America you all would be sitting on a cave floor, somewhere, eating each other.

  • @xxpeniskingxx to quote the ending lines in the movie manhattan.  Just smile and wave boys just smile and wave.

  • @xxpeniskingxx Interesting point of view – did you ever take the time to study the history of the world? I suspect not otherwise you would not state something like that but hey, it’s cool: every dreamer should have a dream to believe in…

  • @xxpeniskingxx - He just doesn't understand that America is the most glorious, rich, blah blah country"

    If you follow his career, you will find he has a love hate relationship with America. Like most foreigners he finds some of your culture and cities fascinating, while still perplexed by other aspects of American life. I will say this, it often takes an outsider to see a nation more clearly, more so than someone who was born there, and only views things through the lens of blind patriotism.

  • @xxpeniskingxx WRONG - Americans were living in tribes fighting each other with pointy sticks until the Europeans brought civilisation, democracy and Christianity (and slavery and guns for that matter).

  • Im afraid of blacks... how many times has this one been said already?

  • all wars in world came from America

  • @dag1g you talk about America as if it was a very old country.there have been other wars in the world before America existed.the USA has only been around for not too long.Europe is the cradle of civilization,ignorant.

  • <3

  • 60 people are insane tea partiers

  • paranoia is the usa national sport.....! beware....

  • @gomezcr

    But it's fun...

  • @ZetsubouMFZB well i dunno 'bout that, let's just say that BOWIE came up with the words, not me! hehe

  • This guys 60 and he still looks 40... Luv it!

  • @Beastie240 David Bowie is one of those people that doesnt age....ever

  • you're afraid of Americans, wait 'til you meet the Chinese.

  • @dkshotwell what about Cubans and Russians. They are two of the most oppressive cultures I have ever dealt with.. They oppress each other forget about the govt.  Americans always at least had a belief in freedom.

  • @FuLuShouXi what about (..insert any other random shit hole country that demonized by the so called free press of ameriKKKa..). they are evil, and such and stuff

  • @dkshotwell Yeah *chuckles*

  • 58 people are Republican hicks

  • i;ve been afraid of americans for a long time, and i live right across the river!

  • 58 people is afraid of real music

  • I'm afraid of David Bowie.

  • We are the first western country in decades unwilling to face the reality of our world today. In fact, most of us can't even define our present reality. Some of us would even argue there is no reality or truth anymore. This song expresses the fear of the world- a nuclear power out of touch with reality. Happy Birthday David Bowie.

  • I love brits <3

  • He looks like an emo... :-S

  • This country is filled with ignorant Billy Bobs, but fortunately, they drink themselves to death.

  • @riverlioness thx for being a patriot your pessimism is so profound

  • I'm afraid of overtime

  • americans are scary people ,think they can rule the world,so stupid

  • @stoneybiker10 not all Americans are like that stoney, I AM an American...but I love this song

  • i'm afraid of north korea.

  • Im afraid of Canadians...

  • I'm just plain afraid ;)

  • Americans are fat, fearful, and stupid.

    Chinese are great at math, can't drive, have small packages, and eat cats.

    Afghanis = Terrorists

    Iraqis = Terrorists

    France if full of baguettes, smelly people, and bad cheeses.

    All of Africa is at war with itself except the white part.

    UK is full of tea drinking, snaggle-toothed, pompous arses who add "er" to words that end in "ah".

    Ireland... leprechauns and potatoes?

    i am sure you see my point by now!

  • @Bodmw01

    Out of all those options, I think I'd like Leprechauns and potatoes.

    And Australia, being the 6th largest country, apparently doesn't exist =P

  • @Simoneister I think Australians are just bad-ass. So they don't count.

  • @Bodmw01 I never thought that somehow this video would lead to the mentioning of leprechauns...

  • If you followed the whole Wikileaks fiasco - you should definitely be afraid of Americans now!

  • Im afraid of Americans, and so is Julian Assange and freedom of speech.

  • americas a crazy place, full of lunatics, racists, homphobes and americans

  • Brazilians are afraid of americans too, cause of global warming. what will happen tomorrow?

  • @victormotta262 you could start by fixing your own country. Brazil is contributing gravely to climate change by burning down the Amazon for agriculture. Hypocrite.

  • @leevancechurchill to sell wood for whom? americans

  • oldkid81 shits cum

  • @PokerPlum I think it is more the global war on terror that I hate about the U.S. I also hate that my country is kinda it's bitch right now and involved in Afghanistan. I think the 'we are number 1' part of Americans can be funny and charming at times. It is the bombing and the spying and the decimation of peoples cultures and infrastructure I have a problem with.

  • americans are afraid of themselves, and rational thought.

  • @oldkid81 I'm not afraid of myself at all. People who think they have a monopoly on rational thought however concern me greatly.

  • I'm afraid of people who are afraid.. They are the suckers the fear mongers depend on.

  • @IceRide im afraid of people who are afraid of people who are arfraid.

  • @oldkid81 This could be circle jerked ad infinitum.....

  • This Song is SOOO Delicious Sinister...

    Love it

  • Am afraid of ya all freaks :o

  • im afraid of panda's .

  • Saw David Bowie with the Stereophonics in Milwaukee a few years ago and the evening was beyond splendid.

  • @studio1087 I have no idea where you are right now, but there is at this moment someone in Vancouver B.C who envies you decidedly and deeply.

  • 58 people are Americans to be afraid of.

  • im a american and im afraid of americans O_O

  • @tallyhoman911 me too !

  • @tallyhoman911 ain't that the truth :P

  • The only one who isn't is my little Bin. LOL

  • im afraid of jutin bieber

  • If you want to make Americans afraid of you, Bowie, all you need to do is re-embrace your androgynous look. They hate that shit. Please. Dress up like Ziggy Stardust again.

  • @janeeyre1990 lady gag me seems to be doing pretty well spinning his look from that era (not that I care for her at all).

  • i'm afraid of being afraid

  • I live in America and the other day I discovered that this is NOT a good song to sing while running around an airport in the USA haha

  • FeanorLives people fear of amricans because americans are idiots ;D

  • If anyone knows anybody who is Cooler then David Bowie...

    Please let me know....I'm not sure there is anyone Cooler...

  • I was always amused (and a little proud) when I lived in Japan that Japanese and other ex-pats would think I was European although I hailed from Los Angeles as my home town.

  • " I was traveling in Java when [its] first McDonald's went up: it was like, "for fuck's sake." The invasion by any homogenised culture is so depressing, the erection of another Disney World in, say, Umbria, Italy, more so. It strangles the indigenous culture and narrows expression of life." - David Bowie. I 100%, completely agree. But then again, Bowie does live in the US at the moment!

  • @FeanorLives We certainly do fear you might sit on us, you fat bastards.

  • it sucks that hes done performing

  • love this song ... hate the flashy camerawork

  • people love to hate americans

  • @nckey42 Because some of us make all of us so damn hateable. And it's been getting worse.

  • yessssssssssssssssssssss bo bowie 

  • Love DB

  • @6roughneck1

    No one really fears the French, but France is a great country.

  • I saw this tour in early 2004 and it was the best concert I have been to.

    This song was a highlight.

  • Comment removed
