I like nirvana but I think it’s sad that people don’t know David Bowie wrote this amazing song (before you reply i’m not saying that Kurt didn’t do a great job with this cover it’s an amazing cover all I’m say is it’s also lyrically a great song as well)
Even if it was Bowie's song originally Nirvana did it so well it became theirs. Bowie's got plenty of other amazing songs anyways, Kurt can have this one
How is it that this song from1970. 51 years ago still sound like it’s futuristic? I was 14 then. Now 65. It still sounds like something for 2040. And I love that. Plus it’s not the only Bowie song that give this feeling.
What can I say? We were lucky. Very, very lucky. Both of these artists were the definition of exceptional. Saw Bowie three times and Nirvana once. I was humbled each time.
It has to be his vocals as well as the guitar chords. His voice is so strange, yet amazing. How awesome that you heard this song when first released, bet it there was nothing like it. Even to this day there is nothing like it; except the covers.
El pendejo sos vos, no sabes nada de música, ese maje no tenía ningún talento,xtan pendejo era que igual de depresivo que su música era, que se mató, hice un repaso por los discos de nirvana y lo siento pero no sirven, aguados, depresivos, jamás se comparará con las bandas Inglesas o Alemanas, además era un gringo, no hay comparación!
Además bowie si fue u será uno de los más grandes, esa era de ese cobain de los 90's fue decadente como él, prueba de ello todos los vocalistas de esas banditas basura, se suicidaron, lo siento, pero es la verdad! A ti te gusta bien por ti, a mi no y nunca me convenció, me quedo con las bandas Inglesas!
Don't forget..kurt wrote on the wall GOD IS GAY when he teenager even in his song too and than he killed himself..that make God very..very..😡..kurt in hell right now..sorry for my comments
Bowie said that after Kurt sing this people came to him and said nice cover, and he laughed and said you know Kurt did a good job when people think the original is a cover.
When musician pay tribute it can be an amazing thing. Nirvana also did a great cover of the Velvet Undergrounds "Here she comes now" and then Bowie did a great cover of The Pixies "Cactus".
David Bowie "I was simply blown away when I found out that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and i always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering 'Man Who Sold the World.' It was a good straightforward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been real nice to have worked with him, but just talking would have been real cool."
Yes, he was all of those things. He was born of a time when artists wrote their own songs, sang their own songs, played multiple instruments... That whole period in entertainment is gone.
Bowie was way before his own time. He had a Nirvana thing way before anyone ever heard of Nirvana. I appreciate Cobain for his tribute to the great David Bowie.
Just to clarify, both artists were amazingly original but Bowie (my favorite artist of all time) really did not have any style remotely resembling what Nirvana (my second favorite artists) did. They EACH had their own unique style which did not resemble the others whatsoever. As I said: Original. Kurts tribute was amazing. Just that though, a tribute.
My mum loved David Bowie, she would definitely have been watching this back in 2000, so it brings me comfort to watch this. Fly high through the cosmos mum xx
At least Cobain gave David Bowie credit at the end of the song on unplugged. David puts a ton more vocal energy in his original because he lived and wrote the lyrics. One of the coolest parts of the song is the bass running up a full octave.
I think the original was the best, nirvanas version live was second best and this version live was third best. Kurt nailed it live. But nobody can have a voice like Bowie.
@Рома Роман I don't think you understand how things work. It is impossible to disprove something that doesn't exist. The proof (plural of proof is proof, not proofs) has to come from the people who argue it does it exist. If I said there was a magical entity called a "ek", you couldn't disprove it's existence but you shouldn't believe me because i've provided no evidence of it's existence. The same goes for God, Heaven, Hell, Fairies, etc. There is no evidence of their existence so you have to be pretty gullible to believe in them.
I first heard Cobain singing this song and thought it was great. Then made sure I listened to the Bowie version and fell in love. Became my favorite song ever. RIP Bowie! You will always be my goblin king.
He`s not dead, he`s on his way back to his planet, fools. Farewell Ziggy. I hope we didn`t annoy you too much down here. Thank you for the music and everything else.
+wpollock1 same it's a shame i stopped listening to his music for so long and it took his death for me to venture back into his music another legend gone RIP
+RaptorRoll - Just wondering something. Have you lost a parent to death? Or a spouse? Or a close friend? If not, your question is understandable in the sense that you really don't have a way to comprehend why people react the way they do when an important person in their life passes. If so, did you just shrug your shoulders and say, "oh well, people die every day" and go on your merry way? Surely not. Bowie's death was a "shock" to many because 1) His illness was only known by a very small number of people...it was not public knowledge. 2) To many people, he was more than just a talented entertainer. He touched the hearts and minds of quite a few people and his music was a big part of their lives. So, even though they didn't know him personally, they felt the impact of his death personally.
I got an idea in my version : when i saw shoes repair man walking around the street, i always remember this song, the man who sol sepatu means the man who can fix or repair broken shoes
*I love the way he says "l gazed a gazing stare" amongst many other phrazes, he was'nt just a style icon of those years he stylized the way he spoke, everything about him was so unique, there was and ever will be only one Bavid Bowie.*
Sometimes the emotions you feel listening to songs like this have the habit of teasing memories that make you feel the weight of nostalgia in your heart.
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when, although i wasn't there, he said i was his friend, which came as some surprise. i spoke into his eyes, "i thought you died alone a long long time ago." "oh no, not me, i never lost control you're face to face with the man who sold the world." i laughed and shook his hand and made my way back home, i searched for form and land, for years and years i roamed. i gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here: "we must have died alone, a long long time ago." "who knows? not me, we never lost control. you're face to face with the man who sold the world." "who knows? not me, we never lost control. you're face to face with the man who sold the world.

There's no such thing as "David/Kurt sang that better". They've both sang this song "differently". One really can objectively judge, one can only like or dislike. I love both versions, they posses different energy.

El Shuwix Settle down, no one is getting bashed by me... Lennon and McCartney wrote many songs "Yesterday" is the most recorded song in history... but will the Beatles version ever be surpassed.. prob not... whereas the song TNK also by Lennon/McCartney I think is better performed by Brian Eno/Manzanera et al, of 801
I agree with you. cobain's version is just as good as the original because of how careful he was about covering other people's work--and his scratchy voice adds effect. all in all, obviously, kids that grew up in the '90s are gonna be more familiar with the nirvana version and like it better as where kids that grew up in the '70s will be more familiar with the original. this is a rare example of a cover version actually being as good as the original. think about "something in the air." thunderclap or tom petty? both also perfect. but I still like the heartbreakers version better. I'm out. merry Christmas.
I was in HMV today with my son. I came across the Bowie album, "the man who sold the world." What's strange is, I just logged in to UA-cam, and what shows up. This track. I didn't look for it or even think about the album after leaving the HMV store. We are litrally being spyed upon everywhere we go.
I think its decent but I wouldn't say 10 out 10.. I mean Bowie is one of the greatest artists ever but he wrote the album when he was 22-23 and much like Hunky Dory its far far from being flawless and while the foundations of what would eventually become quintissentially Bowie are certainly there, its still quite unclear.
Приклоняюсь ,перед творчеством Дэвида ,ты лучший и весь мир скорбит даже сейчас ,мы любим тебя Дэвид ,Боуи всегда бьеться с нашими сердцами в унисон...!!!!
Beautiful creation of David Bowie and Mick Ronson. 70’s forever! RIP David Bowie, RIP Mick Ronson, RIP Kurt Cobain sang beautifully and introduced to younger audience.
First time I hear this version. All I knew until now was the great cover by Nirvana. But this is amazing, beautiful song, and it sounds huge here live... What a extraordinary artist David Bowie was.
I can't believe how many idiots are out there. Bowie wrote this song, Twiggy covered it in the late 70's and Kurt in the 90's. Many other artists too but those were the more popular versions. He also had cancer for 18 months prior to his depart not AIDS you sickos.
Like opening a diary, every song seems like an old friend. Evoking memories of people,places and feelings. So many feelings. Some forgotten until the music plays. What a wonderful thing for somebody to give me. Looking at all of the beautiful comments people are leaving and the huge, and very honest outpouring of sadness at his passing, I'm guessing i'm not alone in feeling somebody very special has gone.
No tenemos a Bowie pero ahora tenemos otra estrella naciente dimash kudaibergen la estrella emergente el nuevo artista genio el rey kazako te invito a conocerlo si no lo conoces
I love David Bowies version the most and I do enjoy the Midge Ure version and the Nirvana one is alright nothing compared to Bowies or Ure's versions though

He does indeed. He was 53 at the time of this performance. Not too shabby.
He had such an amazing, unique, beautiful soaring voice perfectly captured on the album "The man who sold the world".
he sounds great (a)live. ik it was a shitty joke, i couldn't even be at one of his concerts
Спасибо, Дэвид Боуи.
I discovered this album in 1985. The whole album is mind blowing.
The Man Who Sold The World album.
Check it out if you haven’t. 10 out of 10
I did. Confirmed.
I think its decent but I wouldn't say 10 out 10.. I mean Bowie is one of the greatest artists ever but he wrote the album when he was 22-23 and much like Hunky Dory its far far from being flawless and while the foundations of what would eventually become quintissentially Bowie are certainly there, its still quite unclear.
Damn. Give me a time machine!
The Man Who Sold The World ...............your song is the one that made it wonderful The World.............................................. love
The drums sound incredible
Yes
It's hard not to love Bowie.
Let's be happy and grateful cause we knew David Bowie. We listened to his songs. We saw him singing... This is very precious...
RIP David.
He was a real Diamond Dog.. Miss u David..
Приклоняюсь ,перед творчеством Дэвида ,ты лучший и весь мир скорбит даже сейчас ,мы любим тебя Дэвид ,Боуи всегда бьеться с нашими сердцами в унисон...!!!!
There is and only will be one David Bowie. There's no one else to compare to him.
R.I.P David ,,,,this is shock news !!
+robby navarro what happened
+/pol/ is always right: Bowie died from cancer. No further details at this time. Except that he recorded his final album while fighting cancer.
Douglas Berry
That's terrible. Is the tour cancelled?
oscar zafra that's not nice.
+oscar zafra Please check the profiles of people before being so harsh.
Possibly my favourite Bowie song
I don't care where he is today. He was / is BEAUTIFUL. Blessings to david robert jones if that's even his born name. Peace always David.
Not one comment about how solid the drums sound and how in the pocket he is. The guy is a beast back there and no one noticed.
badass drummer
David Jones, David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust and The Duke died all at the same time. His music will live forever!!
Aladdin sane
I'm agree with you
starman
Major Tom, The Sovereign...all gone.
And Prince
V HAS COME TO
Beautiful creation of David Bowie and Mick Ronson. 70’s forever! RIP David Bowie, RIP Mick Ronson, RIP Kurt Cobain sang beautifully and introduced to younger audience.
22 years ago, but like yesterday, RIP Sir David
"My very own phantom, huh?"
"Boss, the world wants your head. Don't worry, he can handle it."
I get that reference.
have loved him from the day I saw him 1969 and still loving him. Till I meet my starman in the sky RIP David xxx 💝
With out a doubt the coolest man on the planet and one of the most talented musicians to ever walk this earth.
Он был ,ещё и художником..
Beautiful this song man and the musicians owww... I don't have words my friends.
David Bowie I miss you brother.
Thank you so much for your great Job.
Ein großer Musiker und wundervoller Mann ist gegangen.Ruhe in Frieden David. Ich liebe Dich.
One of the greatest and most under heard artists ever.
First time I hear this version. All I knew until now was the great cover by Nirvana. But this is amazing, beautiful song, and it sounds huge here live... What a extraordinary artist David Bowie was.
Both Kurt n David are great musicians.. Rest in Peace
We lost a great singer and songwriter... R.I.P. David Bowie
I'm crying right now, R.I.P. last genius
same :'(
+damiano f You're not alone.
A great loss for the world. He will be my Hero forever
I can't believe how many idiots are out there. Bowie wrote this song, Twiggy covered it in the late 70's and Kurt in the 90's. Many other artists too but those were the more popular versions. He also had cancer for 18 months prior to his depart not AIDS you sickos.
+Mark Westwood Thanks for your post
Masterpiece forever and ever. I miss that man so much...
все сук настоящее!! чего не хватает современной музыки! и это печаль тоска!
Like opening a diary, every song seems like an old friend. Evoking memories of people,places and feelings. So many feelings. Some forgotten until the music plays. What a wonderful thing for somebody to give me. Looking at all of the beautiful comments people are leaving and the huge, and very honest outpouring of sadness at his passing, I'm guessing i'm not alone in feeling somebody very special has gone.
It's incredible that song was written on 1970. What a genius Bowie was.
Beautiful songwriting. Will Always be one of my favorites 💜
Cuando todavía teníamos al gran Bowie...
No tenemos a Bowie pero ahora tenemos otra estrella naciente dimash kudaibergen la estrella emergente el nuevo artista genio el rey kazako te invito a conocerlo si no lo conoces
Kurt and David are the only two who have ever done a really great job on this song
Same with Midge Ure.
El genio David la creó y Kurt hizo algo mágico que es versionarla sin estropear una joya.
+Antonio Comer midge ure perfected it. Still more relevant than original.
midge ure did a good version I like it more then nirvannas
I love David Bowies version the most and I do enjoy the Midge Ure version and the Nirvana one is alright nothing compared to Bowies or Ure's versions though
R.I.P. dear David... I'm crying right now..... ;(
I still can't believe it :(
same here.........
Devilman crybaby
My jaw was on the floor the whole time. I always loved Bowie. I loved Cobain. I had no idea that this was Bowie's. Wow. Just wow.
Have a listen to the album... Outstanding stuff...
I only just found out today
Both great versions of an all time classic song. The melody has an entrancing sound that draws you into a great space and another time, ******
One of the greatest talents this world has ever known........"Look Up Here I'm In Heaven" David sang on his last album..........love you Mr. Bowie/Jones!!!!!!!!
HIs voice is truly the best. I could listen to it all day and not tire of it.
Beautiful, celestial, soaring and inimitable. RIP David, friend of my youth.
It must be something special that many years after he is gone, people will still appreciate this classic.
Lirico, Bowie was older then Kurt. The man was a genius with his music.
