“Life on Mars” next. Trust me on this.

You can't lose with Bowie, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and onward. He never stopped making amazing music and he never stopped changing, always had a new look and sound to go with that era.

Man he's new to you? Only one of the great rock and roll artists in history. Ok so there's Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, Starman, Young Americans, Fame, Under Pressure with Freddy Mercury, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, I'm Afraid of Americans, and so many more. Welcome to the David Bowie rabbit hole, you're in for a treat, my Bros!

to this day....i still get chills when he says....your circuits dead, theres something wrong.....

Ashes To Ashes is the sequel to this. Also worth a listen.

"If we go into space, we should play this song." Here's Commander Chris Hadfield's performance of the song he did on the ISS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcd_dpyVxtTcfqM.html

Bros, this is his first big one. Released in 1969. His 70s catalogue later nothing but brilliance

Bowie!! Awesomeness!! Golden Years, Fashion, Changes, Jean Genie...just to start.

"Music is the cheapest way to travel", I love that, and Bowie WILL take you places, in all different directions, seriously, he will.

David Bowie "Let's Dance" please!

Boys you have to realize the time in history. The space race was on, man had just walked on the moon. Bowie was called the chameleon always changing. His last album came out 2 days before his death. Major Tom was still there. 🔥

Under Pressure by queen was song by Bowie and Freddie Mercury together in the studio version

As you get older he gets better. I’m a child of the 60s and 70s and he was the soundtrack to my youth. What an amazing talent. 😀

David Bowie the most creative musician that ever lived no question

A 50 year career and one of the greatest rock icons ever! This was 60s

Astronaut Chris Hadfield already performed this on the space station.

Classic! The ever changing, brilliant, iconic artistry of David Bowie. He was my first concert...he was amazing. This was a nice surprise, today. Thankyou Bro's, enjoyed your reactions.❤😊

Have you reacted to Fame by David Bowie? It is an ICON of a song.

"Rocket Man" ~ Elton John

David Bowie was a genius

David was a G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time). This is one of my favorites'-David paying homage to space travelers. I am 65 years old so I was lucky enough to know the music of the last 60 years👍🏾👵🏿🎶🤗.

Just noticed that this is the first song you react from David Bowie? My god, he is one of the greatest artists in modern music history. The masterpieces from this man are endless!!! You are so lucky to hear for the first time Ashes to Ashes, The man who solved the world, Starman, Heroes, Ziggy Stardust, Time etc... There is no end!

Ahhh Bowie, One of the greatest Artists ever. Now you have to listen to his best songs. Here they are. - Heroes - Life on Mars - Ziggy Strardust - Absolute beginner - Ashes to Ashes - Alladin Zane That enough for know, Mush more Bowie masterpieces after you have listened to those.

This was written and released right at the same time Apollo 11 landed and Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey came out. What a freakin’ time to be young! Are you kidding me??? Written from the perspective of the lonely astronaut floating in a tin can, depending on his electronic guidance. If you want a rocker from Bowie, try The Gene Genie for sure! Keep bangin’ my Brothers!

"Hunky Dory" is my favorite Bowie album..Can't go wrong with any track on it.

THIS man is the greatest showman ever. You will have to keep an open mind and trust Bowie fans to guide you. Bowie fans guided me not so long ago and I had alot of years to catch up on.

David Bowie had very good way of taking people on a virtual visual trip with the lyrics and sound effects!

Space Oddity was the first top 40 hit for David Bowie in the USA. It was a top 15 hit for him. The album version is longer. A few years before this, David Bowie produced the top 40 hit by Mott The Hoople called All The Young Dudes.

You can take this song on a few levels: a trip into space, a drug trip, or even an allegory for each of us isolated and adrift in the world.

YES, finally Bowie. Would love "Moonage Daydream" next.

I’m just here to hear Patrick sing this one. ❤️

"Here am I FLOATING round my tin can"......Major Tom is floating away in space. Great tune. Bowie is so good! Always changing.

And this is 1969 Bowie! You have soooo much to know about Bowie, Wow, I envy you the trip. Minds will be blown.

This song is actually from 1969, the same year as the first moon landing, so it would be more accurate to say that it anticipated the music of the 1970s. That is certainly no surprise, as David Bowie was an innovator and managed to stay a little ahead of his time throughout his career. He was one of the great geniuses of classic rock.

I saw many concerts. This was the first concert that put on a theatrical show. During this song he flew over the crowd in a cherry picker. It was the first time we saw him play this song. We all thought the same as you....wants going on?

Bowie songs: - 70's "Fame" & "Heroes" - 80's "China Girl" & "Modern Love" "Fame" is so crazy funky & David's voice in "China Girl" is so so sultry!

Great stuff from Bowie in the 80's "Modern Love" and "Let's Dance"

David Bowie was the most diverse musician ever. He never looked or sounded the same on each progressive record he released - he had a new persona each time.

We played this at my father in law’s funeral. Lol! He was a very quirky man and he loved this song. I’m sure it made him very happy. ❤️❤️❤️

David crossed so many Genres. Good luck and enjoy the journey

I'm 55 years old. Been a Bowie fan since forever. First seven albums are all great.

“Music is the cheapest way to travel”. You should put that on shirts. I have no words as far as Bowie is concerned. LEGENDARY is the best I can do.

A real classic from a legendary artist. Enjoy it!!

It HAS really been played on space. Bowie is genius!!

One of the most versatile singers. Bowie could move from one genre to another at the flip of a coin and never blink an eye! This song is great.

*David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust* 🔥 *David Bowie - Starman* *David Bowie - Moonage Daydream* David did some songs about George Orwell and the USSR too.... ‘1984’ and ‘Big Brother’

Space Oddity was David Bowie's first single to chart, and this was 1969, just before the 70's. Can you imagine a song this good as your introduction to the world? This song spring-boarded him instantly to mega stardom.

Bowie was a ground-breaker. Way ahead of the times.

Bowie- he’s all by himself in my opinion. He wrote into the history of progressive rock music like none other. RIP one of the best songwriters ever.🎼🎶🎵🎸🎤🎹🎧🔥😎on the vocals alone....but then the arrangement......oh my goodness.

David wasn't made for our world. He understood life, but that was what broke him. Rest in peace

Would love to see more Bowie!

I love how people are so confused and often ask what is going on? When they discover Bowie for the first time.

Thanks guys!

A Canadian astronaut sang this on camera from space...I’m glad Bowie lived to see it...🖖🏻🇨🇦🥰💥

About time I saw a David Bowie from you two awesome reactionaries. I think Bowie is the greatest musical artist who ever walked the planet. Ten thousand years from now people will still be talking about how incredible he is.

He stars in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth". He plays an alien. It's well done and worth a watch.

70s was the greatest decade ever, the 60s too. So much to discover

Major Tom is also mentioned in "Ashes to Ashes", "Hallo Spaceboy", and "Blackstar"

It's great that you're reacting to David Bowie songs and this one in particular. He was so influential in the 60s and 70s and beyond and I must have had loads of his songs. This one definitely takes you on a trip into outer space or beyond. You just go with it and enjoy.The film 2001 A Space Odyssey came out in 1968 and this song was released in 1969 so I reckon this was based on the movie. I loved songs like Jean Genie, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Ziggy Stardust, Oh You Pretty Things, honestly the list is endless! David Bowie was a master at changing his image and sound, I think he was a genius at what he did! You're right, George, 70s rock is brilliant - so much experimentation was going on, bands finding their niche if you like and of course with all the different instruments making psychedelic sounds, it was like nothing we'd ever heard before!! Loads of new bands starting up, we were really spoilt! I'm so glad you've started doing reactions for David Bowie, I'm sure you will do plenty more. I so enjoyed your reaction to this one, George and Patrick, obviously something new for you and it's great you really got into it! All the best.

"Let's dance", "Bird on a wire"..."Lazarus". RIP Bowie🖤

Gotta love the 70’s!!!! When music was music

Great reactions!! David Bowie was a master of disguise!

Bowie’s back catalog is massive. He’s a legend! Check out “Ashes to Ashes”, “Fame”, “Young Americans”, etc etc.

Dudes. Your best line: "music is the cheapest way to travel"

EVERYONE always does this song, but Starman is my favorite, please!! Bowie is a legend, I adored him. Golden Years, Young Americans, Changes, Life on Mars, Time, the entire Ziggy Stardust album. He's was a true artist.

Mito. Grande. Iconoclasta. A mis 16 años escuchar Ziggie Stardust fue toda una experiencia que no olvido.

'Blackstar', 'Sound and Vision', 'Ashes to ashes', 'China Girl', 'Where are we now' ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was actually released in 1969, just before the Apollo11 Moon landing. It was his first major international hit. He went on to become one of the most innovative and influential music artists of all-time! He was hugely respected within the music industry. He's one of the giants of modern popular music! During the 70s he'd adopt a different persona for 2 or 3 albums and would become that character for that period. His two most famous alter-egos are 'Ziggy Stardust' and the 'Thin White Duke'. The 'Major Tom', mentioned in this song, has his story continued, more than a decade later, in Bowie's song 'Ashes to Ashes'. It was a huge hit too. He's had so many hits, over the decades, that it's hard to know where to start. As well as Ashes to Ashes, I'd also recommend 'Wild is the Wind'. It showcases his vocal ability and is a beautiful song. Just make sure it's the, slightly longer, album version. Of course, you can't look into Bowie, without listening to his album, 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'. It's one of the most influential albums in music history. It marks the height of glam rock and parts of it envision punk, well before punk rock happens. If the dictionary ever needs a good definition of 'cool' it could just have a picture of Bowie. He remained the epitome of cool, throughout his long career. An intelligent and witty man, when he died it was headline news around the World. World leaders, including the Pope and Barack Obama, paid tribute to him and the British Parliament tok time to pay tribute too, as did virtually every major star in the music industry. He's sorely missed. He was unique and we won't see his like again.

now you've got to listen to part two of this song ashes to ashes which is even better imo

Bowie was a genius

This man was a class act, "young Americans, diamond dogs, suffragette city,rebel rebel, the jean Jeanne,China girl" and so many more, ashes to ashes is the follow up song to this...Great reaction as usual guys.

Moonage Daydream!

"Music is the cheapest way to travel". What a great comment.You are so right about that.

He's Learning to Fly past the Dark Side of the Moon. Such a cool song. Thanks for the reaction.

04:18 "I'm tripping very hard" Yea...that's pretty much how the rest of us felt when we were hearing it for the first time.

Bowie was a fantastic entertainer. I saw him many times in concert and, similar to the Talking Heads, it's performance art. Bowie is one of those performers who reinvented his persona many times. The Major Tom character has surface a few times throughout the decades but space references were found all the way to his last album, Blackstar. His performance in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth was as an alien.

Saw him in concert, Sydney 2004, Amazing! I have 11 LPs and that only covers up to 1979!!! His songs have been heard in so many tv commercials. It's everywhere

bowies a musical legend. so progressive, creative n experimental, great artist. heroes is my fav, try it live at live aid- so emotional.

The panning going on in the headphones is amazing!

Bowie is the best. try Ashes to ashes, it’s the sequel to this. I’d recommend Station to station and Moonage daydream for more great Bowie

If you're just getting started with Bowie you should do 5 Years next. Right up your alley.

Performance artistry in its infancy! Enough said!

This was written as a homage to Kubrick's "2001 a Space Odyssey", which was hugely influential, ground-breaking film.

David Bowie is a legend. The Queen vid u two just reacted to..Under Pressure.. Bowie co-wrote the song with Freddie Mercury. He has a plethora of great songs! Thanks for reacting to this vid!

You're only grazing the surface with Bowie. There is so much mind blowing stuff from him that you have yet to discover. You're going to have so much fun! Peace!

Music is the cheapest way to travel. I love it! Cheers!

Arguably one of the greatest artists of our time. i'd argue that he IS the greatest. such a large, strange, unique and diverse body of work he left. PLEASE domore bowie. This one was his first hit released in '69....right around the time of the moon landing. it took him a few years to have more success...then BOOM !!! i would recommend checking out his stuff in chronological order...maybe a few songs from each album. (if not the WHOLE album)....this way you get to see just how drastically he would change every album or two. amazing stuff...

Bowie forever💖

Written around the time of The First Man On The Moon around 1968/69. The special effects were created by Rick Wakeman who was ( at that time ) the only person who knew how to use the Mellotron instrument and he got paid £6 for the session..................however Rick would NOT tell the Engineers how he did it so he monopolized all the Mellotron work for a long time until he joined the Magnificient YES ( Roundabout is for YOU guys )..... Along with Keith Emerson and Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman was one of those 3 Englishmen who were the greatest keyboard/organ players of that generation :)

Before you get started on a ton of space-related songs, I wanna let you know only about a dozen Bowie songs out of 400 are involved with space. His career was incredibly diverse, so you'll hear a ton of songs about other things. This music video came out 4 years after the song and had nothing to do with Ziggy Stardust, and I'm glad you used a thumbnail for the right era, because there's an earlier music video for the demo version where he was more of a hippie. I strongly recommend you check out some of his different material as well as the songs people have mentioned. My picks for you two are: Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud from the same record All the Madmen from The Man Who Sold the World Hang on to Yourself from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars Lady Grinning Soul from Aladdin Sane We Are the Dead from Diamond Dogs Win from Young Americans Sons of the Silent Age from Heroes Teenage Wildlife from Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) Loving the Alien from Tonight As the World Falls Down from the Labyrinth Soundtrack Seven Years in Tibet from Earthling Bring Me the Disco King from Reality You Feel So Lonely You Could Die from The Next Day If you pick any of these songs, whichever sound the most interesting to you, I can guarantee you'll be stunned. Keep up the great work! ❤

R.I.P. DAVID..THE STARS LOOK VERY DIFFERENT TODAY.

A Canadian Astronaut, Chris Hadfield who was up on the space station & he brought his guitar. He played this song but changed the words so the astronaut did not die.

I walked past a Record shop on a Sunday morning, East Lane Market, and saw the album cover, went in and listened, coz you could do that, to the 12" record, coz that was the 'Thing', and I was blown away with. So I did the right thing and stole the album and took it home!!!

'Music is the cheapest way to travel' :) - Great Quote!!

What a beautiful talented man. I have been a fan since the 70’s. Love from U.K. 💜

So many amazing songs Bowie made! Ashes to Ashes Heros Changes Ziggy Stardust Life on Mars Fame And so many more... He helpt also Iggy Pop and Loo Reed to find the success. And he wrote the song which is my favorite performance of Nirvana : "The Man Who Sold The World" And I'd forget his last album "Blackstar" exit few days before his death. A pure gem.

yes you are listening to , yet another British icon!

Heroes.

IF you take a very close look, you will see that David Bowie's eyes are different colors! One is blue and the other is an orange hue!

This song is so freaking good. When I was young. I didn’t appreciate it ❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
