Old, grumpy git signing in! Uses his own voice to give the man's style respect. Can't fault that in the slightest and also can't believe I hadn't heard this one until now.
while I think the ultimate vocalist got to be Mike Patton without any doubt, I totally agree to how spookingly close this gets to sound like the great David Bowie.
Wow. Just wow. You nailed the instrumental vibe and the vocals are shockingly close to Bowie himself. Honestly, I like this better than the original. The trumpet is amazing.
I just got done listening to this for the first time and it's beautifully startling how much this sounds like a 1983 Bowie song. Can you imagine how stunning the music video would have been?
As retired symphonic musician, I’d like to commend you on you vocal phrasing. So important to nailing this fantastic cover. Good on you. Great job. Guitar and horns awesome job.
TH-cam threw this at me as a suggestion and I literally laughed when I saw it. Went out and showed it to some friends watching TV. We all laughed some more. It's been about a quarter hour since and we've watched it twice. Nobody's laughing now. How is this even possible? It's nearly perfect!
More specifically, Bowie from his Let's Dance/Serious Moonlight tour period. Very cool, very well done. I can't easily imagine the results if you tried to model the cover after something earlier.
I can't believe I've only just seen this! As a devoted Bowieist I guarantee he would have loved this as much as I have. Great choice of song to cover too.
I heard that too. I also feel like we are one string arrangement from entering Chic territory; ironic, given that Bowie co-produced "Let's Dance" with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers.
No thank you. I'm good actually liking those songs; I so don't want them to be ruined like that. I hated the singing of Metallica; I didn't mind the guitars and instrumentation. But this, I like MUCH better. Yes, theoretically I'm sure Anthony COULD do it, but I really hope he doesn't... lol (begin ridiculing me in the comments.... NOW!)
So I own every David Bowie album except for Baal and I have to say: this is exactly how he would cover this song. In some alternate universe he covered it and this is how it sounds.
Im sorry I didnt find this channel sooner, This man is more musically talented that the vast majority of musicians Ive heard. Being able to deconstruct the style of a song, and do it in a completely different style? Hats off to you sir !
Yeah exactly. I thought Floyd with the first guitar, but with the vocals, it seems much more Bowie. Especially with Bowie's style being a little psychedelic anyway.
I'm sitting here listening and enjoying the music, appreciating how Bowie-esque it is, and suddenly 4:40 happens and I audibly said "holy shit". That moment gave me chills. I'm a pretty big nerd for Bowie. Always have been. I'm 30 years old and grew up listening to him every day, watching Labyrinth 87 times a day. You did him justice. This is brilliant.
Exactly. The. Same. Reaction. I gasped and laughed "eeeei vittuuuu" (something as in nnnooo fuucking waaaayy) in my native Finnish language 😍 that chord change is pure gold
ok the music was STELLAR but when the vocals kicked in my jaw DROPPED. I LOVE Bowie and this is flat out AMAZING. also, why did youtube keep this from me for five years
Don't skip to when the song starts, because then you'll miss my introduction to all these awesome musicians that helped make this video possible. All of their links are in the description! Check em out!
It's really hard to lock down a style with Bowie. He was changing it up so much over the years. But that voice, that is what never changed. Pressure will ALWAYS be my favorite song of his.
This sounded awesome, I can kinda hear this being on _Let’s Dance_ but awesome job as always, man. Also, if you did this in the style of _Ziggy Stardust_ you could’ve called it “Enter Starman”
@AllYouKnowIsWrong well I higly doubt he'd consider metallica, although he was a man of many tastes, who tended to put his spin on different genres and sounds, and in that aspect this video's actually really accurate.
Firstly, this was great! But I agree with others that listening to it at .75x sounded more 'Bowie'. Maybe not quite that slow, but almost. You all kept true to the song though, you sacrificed very, very little to accommodate the change in style. Excellent, dudes!
At first I was like, this is great, but doesn't really sound like Bowie to me. Then I did as others suggested and put at .75 playback and omg, major chills. Absolutely amazing!
FANTASTIC!!! You totally nailed David Bowie's "Let's Dance" style and this song sounds great Bowie style!!! I can even hear a bit of INXS "Original Sin" style in your Bowie themed cover too as INXS at the time were a bit on the same lines as Bowie "Let's Dance" but with a more rockier edge which "Enter Sandman" being a metal song brings that out so I think of both songs when I hear this! And at that time both Davie Bowie and INXS were produced by Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers. I wonder if Nile has seen your video, I bet he would be impressed!
I LIKE it! I was not a Metallica fan but this is very "listen-able." Not to take away from the creativity of the original, I just go blown away by the creativity of all involved in this project. This reminds me of the way classical artists would shop around a piece of music in the 1700s and make something even more fun. From the jangly guitar and the physically heightened source of the vocals to sparklingly smooth horns, a worthy re-interpretation!
As a HUGE Metallica and HUGE Bowie fan I was expecting something atrocious. Man, you totally convinced me. That was sick. With my eyes closed I could hear Bowie and the way the other musicians tweaked the way they played it juuusssssst so. Damn. Awesome job! Keep up the great work!
I totally agree 100% as well! As a Singer/Vocalist, and a Straight Up Bowie Fan->(I have The Blu-Ray Anniversary Special Edition Of Labyrinth! I also had the absolute pleasure of Seeing Bowie Live On The Glass Spider Tour in 87 at The Long Gone Omni here in Atlanta, Ga!) And a big time old skool Die-Hard Metalhead/Metallica Fan) I So Absolutely Loved This As Well Brother! Good Job!!
Thank you for this! I'm sure Metallica and Bowie would be proud of this rendition! Enter Starman is absolutely beautiful to listen! Almost sounds like a bit of Let's Dance.
JC4R I doubt they be happy seeing there the one frist people to started laws in the internet /where hard about people downloading music from. Sites like lime wire (not saying wasn't a thing before them just that they where more hardcore about people downloading there music)
Wow! Impressive. Not just the guitar, not just the horns, or the vocals. Each part is amazingly well done, so when the parts are all joined....it’s one incredible song. Amazingly creative and extremely well done. Respect.
As a fellow musician, I can appreciate the immense amount of planning and work that went into this. Great job! So glad TH-cam put you in my recommendations.
Frank Schalk - my favorite Doors track. He should definitely do that one. I'm a musician myself and I use to perform a remix/cover of '5 to 1' It was cool. I'm hip hop and beat oriented, so I added a lot of heavy bass and a nice phat drum track as well. We would chop up the chorus and certain solos they did throughout th song. We added a few things, remixed it, and covered it. I would sing Jim's parts and then I would make a section for a verse and my band mate would do his rapping on that part. I thought it was pretty creative. Never heard of anyone doing it like that before. We only ever did it live so sadly there aren't any recordings of it :(
Just discovering this Sandman in Bowie style today, 2nd of October 2024, five years later, such a great interpretation. Then the artist (and friends) has even grow so much more in those years. Great work!
I've followed Bowie since I was 16 and I'm 64 now. I've seen him in concert many, many times. The first experience being in the tenth row of the Tower Theater in Philly! Bowie would, in his inimitable style, be polite about this -- but your voice lacks his power, strength and command and bears no relationship to "Let's Dance" (which I saw live) or any other Bowie music. Your band mates are very good, your guitar is great, the start of the song has a lot going for it and then, well, nothing. Bowie was, and will forever be, a multi-talented genius beyond compare. As someone with perfect pitch who studied piano and sang publicly for over 7 years (other pursuits intervened) and recognized Bowie's genius at age 16, I think I have something authentic to contribute here. Thanks for reading and considering what I have to say. It is heartfelt.
This is truly a remarkable take on Bowie. He voice was so distinctive, and so iconic. Your vocals aren't a caricature or a parody but rather a heartfelt channeling of Bowie's sound and essence.
I've been a huge Bowie fan since the 1970's and I find this very impressive. I especially love how you blended several aspects of Bowie's career into this cover. I can hear the Let's dance era, but I can also hear earlier stuff, and later! This is very good! As a side note: that is great guitar work!!
I was not in any way prepared for how much I needed this song in my life...although for some reason I was picturing Bowie in is Goblin King getup. Honestly, this song would have fit pretty well thematically in the Labyrinth movie.
The way you sing it's almost like you've had some sort of theatrical and maybe even some opera training. I love these videos and it's amazing how natural the songs sound. Keep it up.
Depends on which era Bowie you’re talking about. Early Bowie would have been his equal, middle Bowie would have destroyed him, and late Bowie was weaker than this.
...also note to home studio folks, real horns can never be matched by "in the box" samples...if you can swing it, always use real symphonic instruments. Samples are ok, but they dont breathe like the real thing.
AKA so many other titles. It is sad that he could never perform under his own name because of the Monkees, but his constant reinvention of himself and yet no loss of talent and becoming an expert in each style makes him one of the greatest musicians ever IMHO.

SPOOKY how close you got to sounding like the ultimate vocalist in the history of the Universe: David Bowie.

Yeah, Bowie is the GOAT.
This should be arriving on Spotify and all streaming stores under the name "Enter Starman" soon.
love it
Can't wait

@@FuraFaolox just added him on Pandora
That is good news. The original has worn out it's welcome and got so overplayed. This is the only version I need to hear again.
The way this song rides the line between groovy and aggressive is genius. I love it
If you put the playback speed on .75x, it sounds even more like David Bowie. You have no idea how this gives me chills.
Perfect suggestion, it’s stunning how much of a difference that makes!
YES! LOT BETTER! :D
Holy Shit, that’s like the hidden track within the hidden track.
yeah this is to slow.
kind of a double edged sword. Vincent could edit his voice to sound more like his targets but that isn't his style.
"I really wanted it to souud like an authentic Bowie track, so I used ancient magicks to channel the man himself from beyond the grave."
Accurate.
he flew to mars, found Ziggy Stardust and trained under his mentorship for 5 years to master the craft
I can see why it took extra time to make.
He mastered five magiks.
Sounds like something Bowie would do.

Same here, but a few months ago. Stay tuned, I think he gets better each video. Each one is unique. Very talented
More specifically, Bowie from his Let's Dance/Serious Moonlight tour period. Very cool, very well done. I can't easily imagine the results if you tried to model the cover after something earlier.
was just thinking this. it's incredibly difficult to do a cover in the "style" of an artist like Bowie, who has so many styles already
I can't believe I've only just seen this! As a devoted Bowieist I guarantee he would have loved this as much as I have. Great choice of song to cover too.
Yep, sounds like David Bowie to me. Especially the "Let's Dance" era.
Love your work. Also great job from the musicians. You're all great :-)
Enter Sandman seems like a song that could have been in Labyrinth.
I agree
Agreed
I love that movie
YES!
I had already agreed a year earlier!
PS: how awesome that you went with "China girl" and "Modern Love" era Bowie for this!!! My fave Bowie!
And “Let’s Dance”

@@samanthaharrell7227 Ricochet!!
I heard that too. I also feel like we are one string arrangement from entering Chic territory; ironic, given that Bowie co-produced "Let's Dance" with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers.
To each their own but I can't even start to fathom how someone would not put Ziggy Stardust era Bowie above everything...
I think David Bowie is totally kicking himself in the rockers paradise that he never did this himself!!! Perfectly done!
This song makes me wanna get up and dance lol
That sax is so so sweet
As a sax myself, agreed
Let's dance, Sandman!
Can the reverse be just as effective? Space Oddity or Ziggy Stardust in the style of Metallica?
YEAHH!!
No thank you. I'm good actually liking those songs; I so don't want them to be ruined like that. I hated the singing of Metallica; I didn't mind the guitars and instrumentation.

There is too much of Metallica version of pop song, I'll pass
So I own every David Bowie album except for Baal and I have to say: this is exactly how he would cover this song. In some alternate universe he covered it and this is how it sounds.
Now get Baal.
in another universe ...he wrote this and funked to it
Do you own Baal yet
Mind blown. This need to be shared over and over again until it's played on every music broadcast system.

Yet I still get more Pink Floyd kind of feel from it. Good work anyway.
Yeah exactly. I thought Floyd with the first guitar, but with the vocals, it seems much more Bowie. Especially with Bowie's style being a little psychedelic anyway.
Dennis Houser if you put it at about .75 speed it sounds like him
Same!! I could really gilmour in that guitar. Was wondering if any one else heard it too.
Idk, the guitarist did a pretty good job of inflecting the lead guitar from Let’s Dance in my opinion 🤷🏻♀️

Metallica with Cliff yes, Metallica after Cliff just forget it they suck.
@@eLJaybud Wow, you're the first person I've heard say that.
@@eLJaybud Metallica, isn't that the Iron Maiden coverband?
@@Starscreamious 😂😂😂😂
Thats a Job for Leo
This is truly a remarkable take on Bowie. He voice was so distinctive, and so iconic. Your vocals aren't a caricature or a parody but rather a heartfelt channeling of Bowie's sound and essence.
THIS IS AMAZING.
never heard of this channel before, just popped up on recommended channels. effing amazing work all!!!!!!! so authentic!
Yeah, just popped up on mine too. TH-cam got it right this time! SUBSCRIBING ♡
Mine, too! But I listen to a lot of weird music, so I wasn't surprised.
I love Metallica, but i ADORE Bowie. That's a gift
wanted to hate this.... but i kind of dig it
This is the quality content there should be more of on TH-cam.
This is absolutely amazing
Great work replicating the "Let's Dance" era. You and the other musicians definitely deserve a lot of credit for this 😁
Oh yeah, change playback speed to .75 as some people suggested, sounds exactly like David Bowie. Insane cover! Excellent 💙
True that! Much much much more fitting with Bowie's style.
I'm stumped. How do you change the speed. I checked my settings. I have quality not speed.
I agree that did work; love it.
I like how he is playing Kirk Hammet riffs with Stevie Ray Vaughan style.
I've been a huge Bowie fan since the 1970's and I find this very impressive. I especially love how you blended several aspects of Bowie's career into this cover. I can hear the Let's dance era, but I can also hear earlier stuff, and later! This is very good!
As a side note: that is great guitar work!!
Oh damn!! I got chills listening to this!!! I will never listen to the original version again without hearing this in my head!! Awesome job guys!!
I was not in any way prepared for how much I needed this song in my life...although for some reason I was picturing Bowie in is Goblin King getup. Honestly, this song would have fit pretty well thematically in the Labyrinth movie.
I could totally see this, thanks for the mental image Josh!
I kept picturing Bowie's Jeroth character while listening to this, too =)
How did you sound exactly like Bowie?? 😂 That was awesome, also the band NAILED the Bowie 80’s sound!
He has a really good vocal coach, named Ken Tamplin. he has a channel, too. Search his name and he's the first one to pop up.
Not exaggerating the first chorus gave me goosebumps, loved the sexy sax, keep up the great work and amazing cover!
The way you sing it's almost like you've had some sort of theatrical and maybe even some opera training. I love these videos and it's amazing how natural the songs sound. Keep it up.
If you close your eyes you can pretend that David Bowie came back for just a few minutes to troll the internet
I showed this to my parents telling them it's an unreleased cover by Bowie. They totally believed it
People are gonna kill me but imo Bowie's voice is weaker than his' hehehe
Depends on which era Bowie you’re talking about. Early Bowie would have been his equal, middle Bowie would have destroyed him, and late Bowie was weaker than this.
whoa this is amazing
...also note to home studio folks, real horns can never be matched by "in the box" samples...if you can swing it, always use real symphonic instruments. Samples are ok, but they dont breathe like the real thing.
That was fucking exquisite. It's both the best Metallica and the best Bowie cover I've heard in 30 years.
This was not a 10 second song. Was not disappointed. 10/10 would watch again.
RIP Davey Jones AKA David Bowie
AKA so many other titles. It is sad that he could never perform under his own name because of the Monkees, but his constant reinvention of himself and yet no loss of talent and becoming an expert in each style makes him one of the greatest musicians ever IMHO.
That was better than expected! I didn't expect to actually hear David Bowie lol
Two words: STEELY DAN.
Just do anything in their style. I can die peacefully when I see you sing like Donald Fagen.
Babylon Sisters!!!!
Haitian divorce in the style of the beatles!!!
Wow, amazing. Everyone playing on this track did a great job!
You went for the Let's Dance era. Very impressive work from all of you!
