  • WOW!! FAV band performing FAV song!!!

  • it looks like someone is standing next chad wearing a cap!

    

  • Captures the spirit of the song perfectly

  • I'm not sure Flea knows where he is, but he does a pretty fucking fantastic job on that bassline.

  • is that dave navarro? he doesn't know the damn song.

  • Yeah!!!

  • Brilliant cover of a DB cover. I am a big Bowie fan but coveing someone elses songs is a privelege but it also rocks and this cover does

  • Someone needed to edit out the G-N-R cover at the end.

  • definetly got the place rockin!!!

  • Where's chad...?

  • Great. play it the way you want to hear it. expand on it .

  • I love how packed the crowd is

  • oh man if id seen this live. during the first 3 chords man i think i woulda shat myself with excitement

  • good to see that they like him like I do. :)

  • Well the croud looks like they're enjoying the cover anyway!

    Plus that guy at 3:55 is amazing hahaa

  • Yeah the cover sucks but at least they loved Bowie enough to make the effort.

  • 2:10 ~ 2:11 Vocal FAILL FAILLL FAILLL ,,, he continues singing kkk

  • This is the best video in YouTube history.

  • omg why did they have to trash a really good song goddamn!!!! the only person that can sing this song good is DAVID BOWIE!!

  • Yuk

  • sound quality is horrendous

  • sound quality is horrendous

  • if I could bloody hear it i`m sure it would be awesome :p

  • hey man!

  • richwarrenafriendofslayerdavid­bowieisapro.

  • ....

  • 3:44 on.......rules....that is even better than the chili peppers!

  • it jams, and people are having a good time. thumbs up.

  • おおーっ!きみたちもこの曲、好きなのか!うれしいねぇ!ビール­、じゃんじゃん飲んでくれよ!

  • @MarioMizune yeah... i totaly agree... :S

  • very...very funny what happens from 3:44 and on.

  • Chad is great !!!

  • its kinda ironic how they play a david bowie song while frusciante was out of the chili's, bcos he adored david bowie, especially at this time, you can see on one of the doco's around 94 that frusciante explains how he just looks at the pictures of bowie in books. while fucked up on drugs... why can;t they do a bowie cover nowadays, tht would fucking rock!!! Maybe frusciante can do one of those 2 min solo songs live he always does nowadays and it could be a bwoie number :D :D

  • well... nowadays we know frusciante isnt completely reliable... u know... quitting wise.... right...

  • Am I the only one who wonders if touring on such a global scale just freaked John out again? Also, Josh doesn't have the chops. I *think* this is Dave Navarro playing here not John

  • @4rainbowed look at the date, of course it's navarro. josh DOES have the chops. And i do believe that extensive touring took away from what john loved, creating music.

  • not as good as the original by David Bowie

  • you are crazy...dave is not that good.

  • Wow.

    I went to click the thumbs down and it said "poor comment."

    Poor comment, indeed.

  • dave narvarro ruined it.

  • Would have been really GREAT but I do prefer Frusciante anyday to Navarro. But a great tune to pick to use. Navarro isn't a bad guitarist by any stretch, but John just keeps a better vibe with the Chili Peppers, and is more accomplished on the guitar.

  • Una vera merdaccia. Punto.

  • lol they sound drunk when they start singing.

  • Ha, I love what they're wearing!

  • 2nd verse is completely different. I like TRHCP and all but never really got it! What I love about this is the way the crowd moves as one as they and the performers drive each other!

  • Do you have any other footage from this gig?

  • I think your question is answered by the mob of people bouncing up and down in the crowd.... cuz the song is awesome moron.

  • pwnd

  • this song wasnt theirs u no...

  • im sure no1 woulda known that unless you told us.

  • Since i can't pick up your tone, im not sure if your being sarcastic...?

  • i sure am.

    have a nice day.

  • Yes, well i doubt most of the new wave fans (teenagers) would have a troublsom time understanding that David Bowie's song was covered by RHCP... That was sarcasim by the way

  • INfuckin'DEED.

    these droogies crashed there ▼,

    searchin' for some true charisma.

    Wham Bam...No thank & ticket TODAY ▬

    Funny millionaire$ though.

  • fuck off!!!

  • is flea naked?

  • Nope

  • yes lololol!!!!!!!

  • Not as good as da origional

  • I loved this! a grate cover. They certainly go off. To the detractors. Check out the venue and the recording equipment. I'm sure of you were in the front row you would have loved it!!

  • Cool stuff. You can see the band really enjoying this, not the kind of stuff you play for money, but play for the love of music.

  • Not the good, old Rock'n Roll, but still good =D

  • wow. they really put thier stamp on the song.

  • I like the original song, but this cover is actually good, too. They are giving props to Bowie, which is cool.

  • pretty awesome compared to other bowie covers.

    I like it!

  • people are always so uptight about covers not being the same as the original. but covers aren't supposed to sound the exact same. people are supposed to add their own little spin on them, that's what makes them cool. this performance was pretty solid in my opinion. go red hot chili peppers!

  • @thesoulman573 I'm a big Bowie fan. I also love the Reds. They cover Bowie songs outta love for the songs and it shows. Brill version.

  • @thesoulman573 but it does need to be in tune.....

  • who's the buttmunch at the end ?..lol

  • singer getting lost guitarist pretending to jam... when lost, EXACTLY HOW A COVER SHOULD BE !!!! :) thanks!

  • I love david bowie, and I think this jams. it doesn't have to sound excactly like the original, that's why it's a cover...stop being so uptight, kids. besides, who wants to hear dave navarro play under the bridge?

  • @AdamDooling Totally agree with you. Bowie does alot of covers and they often sound very different from the original, I love The Chilli's and they show their love for Bowie very respectfully.

  • hahahaha nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey this is good!!! love it.

  • Great power of those artists Bowie and Red Hot. Great great I like it.

  • Got rid of the Clockword Orange Referrence :[ Awesome still.

  • great video, what the fuck is the last bit at the end though?

  • thats navarro, not frusciante.

  • sweet!

  • I didn't know that they did a cover of that song ! That's really cool ! =D

  • anyone know where i can find a clip of the Chillis playing at Glasgow university?

  • mieser sound.

  • This isn't bad at all, but it sounds a little disorganized as compared to bowie. I'm a fan of both the Peppers and Bowie, so no disrespect intended. The crowd seems to have loved it and the band was having fun!

  • holy shit look at the crowd all jumpin at the same time!

  • flea and kiedis are jamming and jumping around adn shit while fruschiante is just like standing there playing lol

  • looks more like navarro

  • I like the Guns N Roses karaoke at the end...lol

  • This is cool. But I prefer Mr. Big's version.

  • I actually like this version and the Poison version better than the original.

  • idk wat yall r tlkn about the RHCP r AMAZING! ALL OF THERE SONGS R AWESOME

  • This isn't actually by them, it's by David Bowie. It's a good cover though and I do agree - their songs are great.

  • this is actually quite good!

    not as good as bowie OF COURSE but still fairly epic

  • I was expecting to cringe, but this isn't half bad. ;)

  • why isnt flea wearin.. you know.. clothes

    NOBODY WANTS TO SEE HIS ASS

  • that maybe true , but the whole sox on cox is a large part of their history . I guess he was just havin fun ..maybe just get over it & enjoy the CHILI`s doin a GR8 cover .Cheers LLyod

  • its flea we are talkin bout, do u think this guy is a regular man you will sit next to on the bus ride to work lol

  • brewerfan1993 is a complete twat tht wouldnt no a gd artist if they bit e theyre arse

    retard

  • RHCP were never a fantastic band but they fitted into American culture perfectly in the 1990's when Britpop was big in England. David Bowie is a truly inspirational songwriter and The Spiders from Mars(mick ronson) were pioneers of rock. Ziggy Stardust is one of the greatest albums of all time.

  • excellent comment, couldn't agree more. The spiders truly were pioneers of rock and rather 'unsung' i think. I know david was the mastermind behind the show, but ronson and his band were extra fantastic..

  • I was gonna watch this expecting it to be really shit, but it was actually a really good cover. :)

  • they cant make any good songs?.......they must be world famous for another reason then yeah?

    STFU

  • Wow, Storm large's cover of this absolutely DESTROYS this. ;)

  • awsome cover....but i think it would be even better if john was playing and not dave. Nothing against dave though, cause janes addiction is one of the most amazing bands that has ever existed.

  • johm just pwns dave

  • Why nobody didn't tell me that RHCP has covered David Bowie!? I love Bowie, I love Peppers and I love this cover!

    BTW, only thing that sucks is that Navarro's playing guitar... Frusciante is better.

  • Lousy

    WHAM BAM TO'M./

  • Big fan of the original.....but have to admit they do it justice - Great cover!

  • awesome cover for a band I dont even like lol

  • I think Bowie, you know, obviously does it amazingly, but i also REALLY adore this piece.

  • Bowie is the only one who can take this song to it's real! But this was ok. But Bowie does It MUCH MUUUUCH BETTER!!!

  • Is Flea NAKED?

  • Is he ever clothed?

  • ahahahahahahah!!!!!!

  • Are you sure David Bowie didn't sing this?

  • bowie did sing this originally. whoever told u he didnt is stupid

  • yeah he did

  • I don't thinks it's that bad either. But God, I hate Flea... I really get sick from his moves. Great musican though.

  • i think they did pretty good

  • please leave this song to the expert, DAVID BOWIE!

  • lmfao the crowd was moving side to side.lol

  • this is awesome

  • it obviously cant compare to bowie's...but i dont think its that horrible :)

  • Well what about Higher ground? That wasn't a too bad cover.

  • this is ok, there cover of that ramones song is better though

    but i still think they shouldnt do cover

  • I love the early chili peppers but their cover versions are shit.

  • David bowie is a lot better

  • stfu rhcp are awesome. kill dave navaro though...

  • DAMN! They ROCKED that song!!

  • wtf?? they suck that song. bowies original kiks ass not this

  • RHCP rip it up bowie with some extra dick dig it.

  • this is jus supposed to be a fun party cover and its good for that, not ment to change the world lay off guys, i like it .

    Bowie and the peppers how could you go wrong

  • cadillac does a much better version!

  • gahah. cute panties.

  • david bowie è mooooolto meglio...

    cmq grandi red hot...

    peccato davvero x l'audio!

  • bello, cavolo peccato nn si sente un cavolo

  • peccato l'audio da schifo.

  • sooo if the chilis play a bowie song their stealing a bowie song yet if any other band do a cover its just a cover get a grip

    bowie yes is much better at it  but this is a fun cover is it intended to be serious n the best ever bowie cover doubt it who cares its a gd song and a good band u dont like it fuck of an go live in ur wee cellar with mummy feeding u hot pockets

  • And I cant believe that this was EXACTLY 12 years before :O

  • Good Bowie cover. I saw them in Udine 27th June 2007 ;)

  • Its called a cover douche bag

  • bowie is the best. the cover is ok, but the original one is something amazing, they cant fight with the duke.

  • You are the most failure ever. David Bowie has more talent in his make up than every member of the Chilli Peppers all up.

    Don't get me wrong, I like RHCP, but they can't even compare to David Bowie.

  • you two gays need to get a life

  • sure thing. any tips on how to go about that? :0P

  • look. i cant stop arguing with you. i will get the last word. so you should give up. i know chili peppers and i know david bowie and i know what i know so dont try to outsmart me

  • just kidding dude u can battle me all you want im actually starting to really enjoy doing this on a daily basis

  • yes i can tell, your constant stream of witty insults is amazing, but now know how determine u are i doubt i'll back down any time soon :0p

  • u better keep a tight ass boi. clearly u have never seen a 9 inch cock or u woudnt be trying to argue with me. u dont know what ur getting yourself into.ill rip a hole in the back of your jeans

  • haha its funny, your attempts at intimidating me are getting more desperate by the day!!! loser...

  • im not trying to intimidate yo rozijames. stop acting like a softy. if i wanted to intimidate someone, i wouldnt do it on the comments on youtube. what im trying to do is see how long i can keep you going, and so far, you've lasted longer than any other of my opponents. so cheers to that. now let me ask you this; do you have a pierced cock? aka prince albert?

  • oh and p.s.....i may be a loser (whatever that is) but you're steeping down just as low by fueling my fire

  • no i don't have a pierced cock as i am a female!!

    i'm flattered to be your longest lasting opponent, i'm pretty sure big brother is losing viewers thanks to us.

    i'm not steeping down just as low i just to see what your next comical insult will be...

  • what your a girl? well if so then sorry for talking so vulgar as i thought u were some punk(BOY)

    im glad you find my insults comical but they aint real insults, those is just me trying to get wierd reactions on youtube. and not to mention im always baked and ive been pretty ruthless lately..long sad story. anyways. i hope u isnt lying to me. whats ur beef anyway

  • look. i dont believe you are a girl. for all i know you're some washed up beach whale dirty old pedephile man whos trying to get his knob twisted and spends too much time behind the computer and is a little upset cuz the wifey fell in love with another man who can actually walk around the block

  • i can assure you am female... i assumed you knew i was female by my NAME unless you know of any boys named rozi. whats your long sad story???

  • hang on a minute just let me get my hankerchief :0P

  • dont get a fucking hankercheiff...u asked what the sad story was. what do u want to know? u want to talk about how i lost everything? or hey!!! lets talk about how i was pissed on as a little kid.

  • i'm not interested in your past i said that as a joke.

  • you done it yet???

  • money problems. and girl problems. and all the other shit...such as life. so how old are you, rozi? are u canadian or american?

  • i'm 18 and niether---i'm english

  • england eh? beautiful. why didnt you stop after i started joking about cum and all that other violent shit? you should leave this conversation
