Okay folks... This is ONE guy, Stevie Riks, and he does one of the best Bowie impressions I've ever seen. His Lennon is also pretty damn good. He performs everything. The music, the singing, the on-screen performance-- It's all him in a split screen. I doubt 99.99% of the people being jerks couldn't do 1/1000 what Riks can do, musically.
I was literally chilling in my garage when my HiFi reinstalled Fame into my head, then the sun briefly warmed me up as I went to piss behind the garage in the cold air. Thought to myself... it's time to go grab a cold beer to warm my hands up. Putting the remotes for the garage doors in the house near the reefer was brilliant. I never made it back outside. I pulled up the guitar tab and although I do have the song in iTunes, I opted to go with YouTunes instead. It paid off instantly when I saw this!! Loved it!! My turn.....
I too was misled by the caption that brought me here, but I must say this was very good.😉 To the gentleman and or gentlemen who created this,...thumbs up! R.I.P. David and John - Still greatly missed.
+Damian Christopher Your comment took the exact words I was thinking right out of my mouth. This lends creedence to the old adage, great minds really do think alike.
That Bowie impersonation Is beautiful. Awesome! Listen to John on those guitar,go. LOve them Both. Teri The talking at the end was really good. The Lennon voice was spot on!
This actually seems like something John Lennon would do, he was cool like that... Excellent tribute RIP DAVE AND JOHN The hair was what signalled something to me, Dave didn't have that type of hair until late in his career, and I was like 'Did they meet that late?'
Nice one! It takes a while to grow on you, but then it really, really is funny! Even though the dude on the left doesn't look very much like Bowie, he beautifully displays all sorts of mannerisms, the unrelaxed uptight rocking, the flashes of "oh God, I don't want to be on stage" mixed with erratic moves and quick smiles. And the Lennon impression is simply... quite convincing. :) Military shirt, round glasses, rolled in lips, squeaking "Faaame!!!" May both gentlemen rest in peace!
I was STILL mad at you for that click bait title AND for expecting that hair to pass... even WHILE reading comments of angry people forgiving you, because it was so good. Then Bowie’s vocals kicked in... you bastard, THAT WAS THE BEST BOWIE IMPRESSION I’ve ever seen.
Really? You're kidding me with this! My 2 favorite people who ever lived? TOGETHER?! And I thought I knew it all! It is true you learn something new everyday! If you're looking! Thank you for schooling me today!!
amazing how many people viewed and left comments this week now that David has passed. People didn't realize this was a parody :(. And a damn good one. David Bowie would approve.
How I wish it wuould had happened really, how I wish... This thing Made me very happy till I learn was a joke... very sorry but great performance indeed!!
Qual é a diferença que vai fazer, se é ou não é Bowie e Lennon. Pra mim o que mais importa,é que eu gosto muito de cada um deles e , a grandeza da Obra Musical que cada um, nos presenteou durante as Suas Vidas.
I was fooled by this...TWICE. That's damn good! I love his impression of Bowie. When this song came out Lennon was in the middle of his "lost weekend" when he was separated from Yoko. Bowie was partying pretty hard himself; he later said there was a whole year in the seventies he couldn't remember. Literally not one day of it. I assume it's an exaggeration, but possibly not, and anyway, you get the picture.
As much as I love the real David Bowie and John Lennon...the guy who performed this rendition of 'Fame' was pretty funny and did a good job.
I never saw this until today, love this version. Gonna crank it up a couple more times
R.I.P. David & John 😎
Oh, thanks for the RIP heads up. P.I.R. Ardaks & Jyrag
Pivot Smashed death reminders wake evenly pressed.
This is a fake; that's not Bowie or Lennon.
@@peteshea8010 Absolutely fake I agree
1975
@@spkanava uh nope
Too good...and too funny...great job.
What is funny?
FAME
This is fuckin hilarious lmao
I thought they were the real deal! Not until I read the comments and found out they were impersonators! Great job guys!
no way. i thought it was real lmaoo
Thumbs up. Well done. R.I.P Bowie and Lennon.
NO! THEY'RE DEAD?!? WHEN?! WHERE?!?
Do you understand how dumb these R.I.P. notices make you seem?

Ach zo-o-o. Cheers Mr. Nix*.
*Schtevie Nix's bastid step-brudder.
The issue is how he labels his videos.
Nix Nightbird - he's great... but I wish it was really Bowie and Lennon... love to have them both back...
Late answer to this one :-) I totally agree.. this is brilliant!!! Thank you for the information about the creator of this.
It looks like Bowie and Lennon IF they had been DNAed with a rabid hamster
That was pure funking brilliance!! You sir, are one helluva talented lad. Subscribed and anxious to see and hear more!
Agreed!!
His name is Stevie Riks. He does a lot of stuff. Funny too.

Rip david and John
This was created by one man from Liverpool called Stevie Rix. A local comedian. He has a lot of UA-cam stuff.👍
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 wow dave been going 5 years ALREADy wow

That Bowie impersonation Is beautiful.
Awesome!

The talking at the end was really good. The Lennon voice was spot on!
yeah, I like this impression and Lennon is great.. I'm Bowie fan to my heart and this is nyt mister David Jones Bowie,, love it thoug.. 😊
This actually seems like something John Lennon would do, he was cool like that...
Excellent tribute RIP DAVE AND JOHN
The hair was what signalled something to me, Dave didn't have that type of hair until late in his career, and I was like 'Did they meet that late?'
Well, he did! Lennon is actually on the record.
Great job, almost real, David& John, miss you both, would have loved this!!!!!!
The talking at the end was really good. The Lennon voice was spot on!
What great video to exist !! Thanks. I never saw John Lennon so content on back up lyrics!! That was a very great experience!! FAME ??? Iguassu!!
Nice one!
It takes a while to grow on you, but then it really, really is funny!

It's the same guy - Stevie Riks. He's an impersonator who sings all the parts, plays all the instruments ... he's very clever. :-)
Thumbs up. Well done. R.I.P Bowie and Lennon.
Greeeat!!!
Greeeat!!!
Had me fooled at first!!! Excellent job!!!👊🏿✊🏿
2021 still loving this cover. thanks.
Great performance. Catches both star's essence
I grew up in South Central, listening to this Jam. Love David Bowie and Jhon Lennon. L. A. CA. ♥️
john an awesome composer,bowie great artist and singer....perfection
LUV this! Thanx!
Mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. Good job.
Great voice! Very similar to Bowie's 👌
can't stop laughing at bowie. great video
This is really rare performance
Thank you so much
It's not actually them you know?
This Is Possibly Even Better Than The Record Version! And Bowie's Totally Rockin' That Springy Hair
They are impersonators but they did a fantastic job!
I watched for way too long before realising. Nicely done.
I think you guys did a good job...great vocals!
This was pretty cool, that looks a lot like John Lennon 👍🏽 if I’m not mistaking , John Lennon co wrote Fame with Bowie.
Correct! And another guitarist whose name I forgot. You can find the info on Wikipedia (Fame song)
Original Lennon was just saying "aim" (why who knows) over the riff, but Bowie changed it to fame.
Yea, how ironic in a sad way.
I love this . So good guys
This is so perfect ❤❤
It's Very OK thank you again soo Very much for Fulfilling my request. :)
J'adore ! Beau travail :)
Brilliant man! Just brilliant! I love the banter at the end hahaha
Too funny 😂 and great job
Great fun brilliant stuff. Lots of love...xx
: Just amazing ...
I am very touched, too... He was (one) of my heroes of the youth, and later too :'(
love this song!!!!
I was STILL mad at you for that click bait title AND for expecting that hair to pass... even WHILE reading comments of angry people forgiving you, because it was so good. Then Bowie’s vocals kicked in... you bastard, THAT WAS THE BEST BOWIE IMPRESSION I’ve ever seen.
This is great !
the bowie impression is killing me lmao it's funny but also amazing
That Bowie impersonation Is beautiful.

This is special.
