@@seandobson6221 Yeah Stacey was asking herself where had she heard this sound before and I was saying Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. It is not polite to ask a woman her age but Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is from 42 years ago compared to Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice being 34 years ago, and I would say that she is nearer to 30 than 40.
Bowie stands out because of his chord progressions... he always goes in a direction you don't expect. He was the same breaking the boundaries of musical genres. You just can't put a label on him. Only after his passing I immersed myself in his albums and they were are real eye opener.
The video is a mix of images from Queen's 1986 Wembley concert and the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992, shortly after he passed away. They never performed the song together live.
David Bowie is an enigma that NEEDS to be explored! He is so versatile and so diverse in his presentation of his music. His days with various backing musicians (because there didn't seem to be any set 'band' that he played with) such as his days as Ziggy, are incredible! The album Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars is an incredible concoction of music! You should check it out for sure! I was also so happy when Vanilla Ice was sued for using the music from this song for his song 'Ice, Ice, baby'. It made me really happy when Queen and David won the suit!
I just visited my grandmother with end stage dementia. She can barely remember all of our names, but as soon as I asked her why she looked glum one day she said “I just wish David Bowie was still on earth with us”
Bowie, apart from his artistic brilliance, was the coolest, sharpest dude ever to visit this planet. Just watch him singing Heroes at Live Aid, or Ziggy Stardust at the Hammersmith Odeon, or watch the Ashes to Ashes video for further glimpses into the mesmerising Bowieverse.
Hi Stacey, great reaction! TY! Yes, the bass line was stolen and made famous in "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, Queen sued and won out of court for an undisclosed amount... Trivia: Freddie Bulsara met David Bowie in a London haberdashery shop and Freddie sold him a pair of boots... when Queen was in studio in Montreaux, Bowie dropped in and played around before going to dinner, then went back to studio and came up with "Under Pressure" (their only song)... and yes, you were right, they never sang it together, the Bowie clips were from the tribute concert, which is a must-see experience to music enthusiasts... blessings.
Freddie's amazing talent and commitment comes through with the last song he recorded "The Show Must Go On". Freddie was extremely ill when Brian May wrote the song, which is about Freddie's AIDS and trying to figure out how to go on with it. Brian was convinced that by the time Freddie went to record the lead vocals for the song that it was too complex for how sick he was, but according to May, Freddie took a shot of vodka, told May 'I've got this, babe' and then nailed what is, especially in hindsight, a brilliant and heartbreaking performance in a single take.
Yes, more Bowie! Huge discography with a ton of hits (and a lot of great B-sides that I love). “Heroes,” “Space Oddity,” “Rebel Rebel” and tons more. A one-of-a-kind artist that is missed.
Shout out to Queen guitarist Sir Brian May who recently suffered a minor stroke, which left him unable to use his left arm thankfully he's now OK and has regained enough movement to be able to play music again. ❤
oh man u are gonna love Bowie pick anything from him its good. Life On Mars? // Moonage Daydream (Remastered) // Let's Dance (Single Version [Remastered]) and many more
Oh please fall down the David Bowie rabbit hole! You'll love it I'm sure. Starman, I'm Afraid of Americans, Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity, Changes, Suffragette City, Young Americans and so many more. Thank you for experiencing this amazing music!
Queen and Bowie wrote this song together Freddy come up with the vocal sounds. Bowie wrote most of the lyrics. Vanilla Ice sampled the song riff on his song "Ice Ice Baby"
You definitely need some David Bowie in your life. He was a true artist and innovator who never stopped changing in his 50 year career. He produced one of his best albums only two days before he died, even though he was seriously ill when recording it. He has hundreds of great songs just waiting for you to find them.
You are already experiencing the majestic Queen rabbit hole, and Bowie is another with an epic and eclectic discography - the guy's voice is insane, he could do it all. Not always one for the Bowie purist, but if you haven't seen it you need to watch Labyrinth, and you will fall in love with Bowie.
John Deacon came up with the base line, they then all went out to dinner and he forgot it! Luckily he remembered it again! Watch Annie Lennox & David Bowie sing it at the Freddie tribute concert. (The Bowie footage is from that concert)
Stacey you have become a superstar of reactors. I really appreciate the energy and honesty you exude along with the hometown vibes you give to your fans. No one comes close to matching your channel. Keep them coming pretty lady.
David Bowie was an eclectic and brilliant songwriter and performer. His voice was unique and powerful and his songs were emotional and vivid. He was also a really good actor who had the good sense not to do it too often. A good entrance to Bowie is the movie Labyrinth, he not only plays The Goblin King, but he wrote all five songs (including one he doesn't sing) with lyrics in the movie. And it is a really fun and, I personally think, great movie.
So so many Bowie songs to do. First and foremost "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy", a double song . Bowie wrote his part just minutes before the show as he really dislikes Little Drummer Boy. Other than covering the lyrics they sang that live for Bing Crosby's Christmas show unrehearsed. So professional were both that they gave us a masterpiece. Bing didn't even know who Bowie was before this. Next two songs are "Rebel Rebel" and "Space Oddity". Those three will addict you so be careful.
The Bowie footage in this is from the Freddie Tribute concert after his death, Bowie was singing it with Annie Lennox. Freddie's footage is at Wembley from the A Kind of Magic tour
Love your Reactions to QUEEN, the Best Band of my Life, Your emotional reactions are true and he still makes me Savour the Times I watched him Live and attended Concerts. Thanks Stacy
I love Queen so much. There are so many wonderful songs. "Its a kind of magic" "Who wants to live forever" "Show must go on" "Breaktrough" Prince of the Universe" "The days of our lives" "Barcelona" and so much more. I love your reaction of these legend songs. Great Job 👍
When I saw Queen, the 2nd time, in Madison Square Garden in July of 1982, it was during their "Hot Space" tour. "Under Pressure" is off that record. Once that bass line started, the audience went nuts, hoping maybe, just maybe, David Bowie might show up. Sadly, he didn't, I forget if Brian or Roger sang his verses. Nevertheless, it was a great night. By the way, Billy Squier opened for them. He's somebody you should check out, too.
The bass line was sampled by Vanilla Ice in his song Ice, Ice Baby. This song and Rick James' Superfreak sampled my MC Hammer lead to lawsuits and laws about sampling other peoples copyrighted materials and music.
On the initial recording of under pressure by Queen, Queen was in the studio. Recording it without David Bowie. David Bowie happened to stop by to say hi to Freddie Mercury and Queen and Freddy asked him to join in on the song. After this song was recorded, the two record companies were arguing as to who would get the royalties for this hit? Both Queen and David Bowie were very irate with their respective record companies. They did not care who got the credit because it was something out of the blue with respect to the collaboration.
A duet and collaboration that’s difficult to top. David is a very malleable artist. He changed and innovated constantly over the years. Even into his 50s he was so relevant and in touch with the younger generations his latest album’s music was used by Australia’s new MTV clone cable music channel as their theme song. He’s got a huge catalogue of songs, but here’s a few to consider: Golden Years Rebel Rebel Young Americans Fashion Ashes To Ashes Space Oddity Changes The Jean Genie Dead Man Walking Sorrow Heroes Fame Let’s Dance Modern Love just to name a few, and in no particular order
One of the best rock and roll collabs ever. Not the smoothest recording session apparently but it turned out amazingly well. You already know that Freddie is a genius. Bowie is, as well.
When Christmas comes around again you should check out the video of David Bowie singing with Bing Crosby of The Little Drummer Boy! Two of the greatest singers! Will bring you to tears!!!
Good choice Stacey, thank you for your interest in knowing, reacting and analyzing. in a fresh and honest way the artists who wrote the book of modern music and who influenced so many generations of the last century. Bowie is, was, the Artist. Musical genius, performer, actor, producer, creator, innovator, pioneer of Glam Rock (along with Marc Bolan) and ahead of his time. Check out a little of his history before analyzing it, look at the amount of incredible images from his entire career and then you will understand it better. Hundreds of hits and none the same as another. Keep on rocking beauty Stacey.❤ Greetings from Barcelona
You should do some David Bowie 👌🏻 he's one of the best artists of all time, check Let's Dance, Space Oddity, Heroes, Modern Love, Life in Mars?, Ziggy Stardust 🔥🤘🏻🔥
I love when people say they've heard the bassline before... well here is your explanation on that: Vanilla Ice sampled the bassline for "Ice Ice Baby" without crediting Queen or David Bowie (the song was created by them). It led to a lawsuit which was settled out of court and royalties from Ice Ice Baby go to Queen, and their credits were added to Ice Ice Baby. Vanilla Ice still gets around $300k - $400k in royalties a year from the song. So he was huge in the 90s because of the success of Ice Ice Baby, but the legal troubles led to him dying out in popularity.
Stacey, you mentioned Freddie Mercury's vocal range, and you're correct, it's excellent. Wait until you hear David Bowie's vocal range, you should love that as well. 2 great talents, gone way too soon.
Hi Stacey greetings from England 🇬🇧 you need to watch David Bowie Singing his song "HEROES" Live at The Famous Live Aid Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985 and this is an outstanding performance from Bowie!!! David Bowie is an iconic English singer and cult figure and in The UK we just simply call him BOWIE and he was a Chameleon who continually changed his musical styles and his appearance throughout his career and you really need to check out BOWIE a true Legend and national treasure in The UK 🇬🇧 and such a cool guy!!! You really need to go down the Bowie rabbit hole starting with HEROES.
The intro/main baseline riff of the "Under Pressure" song grew to even more popularity status in the hip-hop world when it was used without permission plus without giving songwriting credits and royalties to Queen and David Bowie when involving the Hip-Hop Song "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice.
I still think this is the best song duet of all time. I wish David Bowie and Freddie Mercury got a record more music together. Rest in peace both of them.
Imagine the 2 together, Freddie and David have played to 250,000 and 80,000 respectively. Can you imagine both those bigger than life charismas in one room That's one fusion Dr Brian May (Queen guitarist and Astrophysicist) couldn't begin to explain.
🎼🖤. Okay .. the footage of David is actually from the tribute concert that Queen put on after Freddie's passing. David Bowie performed this song with Annie Lennox ( .. and the other 3 members of Queen ..) You should definitely react to that video including David Bowie and Annie Lennox The bass riff that you recognize was used in the one hit wonder , Vanilla Ice , and is in his song "Ice Ice Baby" That song pales to the original, "Under Pressure" by a landslide. Freddie and David sang that song to perfection. 🖤🎼
Fantastic reaction! Even though there are artists I prefer more than Bowie and Queen, this is my absolute #1 favorite song of all time. I am not even sure why. The original video is one reason. Its regarded as one of the best ever, please take a look at it. When they recorded it, David and Freddie were isolated from each other so that they couldn't hear the other improvise. You totally picked up on that. Lastly, the version Queen played at the tribute concert with Bowie and Annie Lennox is guaranteed to tear you up. There is great footage of them rehearsing it too, but they hold back a bit. But not at the live performance. Annie is a powehouse on stage. It had to be a tough to perform this after losing their good friend and you can see this in Annie's desperate embrace and the look she gives David right after the performance. It slays me every single time.
You def need to check out Queen "You Take My Breath Away" live at Hyde Park 1976. One of Freddies most heart melting performances. And also "Rock In Rio Blues" an amazing improv with freddie flexing his insane vocal range.
Thank you for this reaction video You did wonderful like always. Also congratulations on your sponsor. I dont know much about how people get sponsored but in my opinion, it was very professional.
This is my favourite song…. The combination of Queen & Bowie is unmatched! I’m gutted I never got to see either of them live as I was born after Freddie died and was too young to go to see Bowie in his prime. Happy to see you covering it Stacey and I’m glad you liked it. You won’t regret getting into Bowie’s music. It’s funny for a song called under pressure, when the song ends it feels like all the weight of the world has been lifted off the shoulders.
As much as you anf I adore Freddie Mercury. David Bowie comes a VERY close second! He doesn't have the voice but he is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians of all time and one of the classiest human beings ever! Get onto David Bowie!!!!!!
I am so glad you found Bowie. Queen and Bowie are in my top 5 of all time. I suggest to start on David Bowie at the end of his career wit Blackstar, When you do understand he was dying of a long terminal illness when he made it. I'll be watching for our take.
It's a conundrum to pick where your David Bowie journey should start. He grew & grew from year to year & redefined himself on almost every consecutive album. From '67 to 2016, he was a chameleon that rarely disappointed, more likely blew you away. Some would say start from his first hit "Space Oddity". Not a bad idea, but if I wanted to highlight the inventiveness of his career, I'd say start with the song "Heroes" ('77). The truth is, anywhere is as good a place to start as any, because the next song you listen to will be like a brand new start.
Two music legends which we've sadly lost, R.I.P. Freddie Mercury and David Bowie. Another great baseline from John Deacon, that's where this song started, it was co written by both David and Queen, David wrote the lyrics, Freddie and the band the rest of it. This and "Another One Bites the Dust" are probably two of the best baselines of all time, I don't feel that John gets the recognition which he deserves, but Queen was a band with an embarrassment of riches.

Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice.
The bass line was sampled by Vanilla Ice for Ice Ice Baby
@@seandobson6221 Yeah Stacey was asking herself where had she heard this sound before and I was saying Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice.
It is not polite to ask a woman her age but Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is from 42 years ago compared to Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice being 34 years ago, and I would say that she is nearer to 30 than 40.
@@seanscanlon9067 geez you’re making me feel really old! I’ve got a daughter her age🤦♂️
You will find that world of David Bowie music will be a glorious journey. There will be nothing like him ever again. Miss him every day.
Me too.
He was a God to me,plus he’s a local hero in my old manor,Brixton.
Bowie stands out because of his chord progressions... he always goes in a direction you don't expect. He was the same breaking the boundaries of musical genres. You just can't put a label on him. Only after his passing I immersed myself in his albums and they were are real eye opener.
As a Frenchman, he miss me everyday. A monster of Humanity like Piaf ou Brel. David, en gros.
Rest in peace David Bowie and Freddie Mercury 🙏
Really?, the vokalis death?
@@Kartunku-terboleh Yes they both have passed away 😕
WHAT a band they have up there now!!
@@Kartunku-terbolehboth of them 💔
"Space Oddity" is your starting point for Bowie.
amazing song, but as a starting point a bit deep.
I'd go for 'Heroes', 'Let's Dance' or 'absolute beginners' as an entry.
Then Space Oddity.
@@liquidminds...she can handle Pink Floyd. She can handle it. It's not that deep. "Let's Dance" is a corny pop song that can get skipped.
Life on Mars maybe?
The video is a mix of images from Queen's 1986 Wembley concert and the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992, shortly after he passed away. They never performed the song together live.
Whoever put this together did a great job of blending the two!
glad you caught this. Freddie Mercury tribute concert is the best!!
I love this song, but i've never been a fan of this remix. :/
Bowie & Annie Lennox did a phenominal job at Freddies Tribute
@@GusGoosegrease You mean the mashing up of the video footage, I assume? 'Cause the audio is just the studio track - not a remix.
Bowie with David Gilmour doing Comfortably numb is amazing
meh, david sang it really bad :/
Somewhere out on TH-cam is David Bowie singing “Heroes”. It’s an absolute killer.
David Bowie is an enigma that NEEDS to be explored! He is so versatile and so diverse in his presentation of his music. His days with various backing musicians (because there didn't seem to be any set 'band' that he played with) such as his days as Ziggy, are incredible!

I was also so happy when Vanilla Ice was sued for using the music from this song for his song 'Ice, Ice, baby'. It made me really happy when Queen and David won the suit!
You definiately need to watch David Bowie version with Annie Lennox live at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
And also the clip of George Michael with Queen doing Somebody To Love, another great live performance, thanks Stacey 👍
I love this one so much.
It's wonderfully done. Also the rehearsal.
You will absolutely love David Bowie. His musical evolution is truly an amazing journey.
Bowie is a rabbit hole you will NOT regret ❤
I just visited my grandmother with end stage dementia. She can barely remember all of our names, but as soon as I asked her why she looked glum one day she said “I just wish David Bowie was still on earth with us”
I love Queen,and David Bowie both.David Bowie was just an incredible musician and songwriter.You definitely need more Bowie in your life.
I was asked in a job interview if I could perform under pressure. "No," I replied, "But I could take a stab at Bohemian Rhapsody!"
Bowie, apart from his artistic brilliance, was the coolest, sharpest dude ever to visit this planet. Just watch him singing Heroes at Live Aid, or Ziggy Stardust at the Hammersmith Odeon, or watch the Ashes to Ashes video for further glimpses into the mesmerising Bowieverse.
Hi Stacey, great reaction! TY! Yes, the bass line was stolen and made famous in "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, Queen sued and won out of court for an undisclosed amount... Trivia: Freddie Bulsara met David Bowie in a London haberdashery shop and Freddie sold him a pair of boots... when Queen was in studio in Montreaux, Bowie dropped in and played around before going to dinner, then went back to studio and came up with "Under Pressure" (their only song)... and yes, you were right, they never sang it together, the Bowie clips were from the tribute concert, which is a must-see experience to music enthusiasts... blessings.
The riff was already famous. For some reason, Mr. Van Winkle thought no one would notice.
How can you put into words that really describes just how great they both were. Both musical geniuses.
Freddie's amazing talent and commitment comes through with the last song he recorded "The Show Must Go On". Freddie was extremely ill when Brian May wrote the song, which is about Freddie's AIDS and trying to figure out how to go on with it. Brian was convinced that by the time Freddie went to record the lead vocals for the song that it was too complex for how sick he was, but according to May, Freddie took a shot of vodka, told May 'I've got this, babe' and then nailed what is, especially in hindsight, a brilliant and heartbreaking performance in a single take.

Definitely need to listen to ‘No one but you’ (Only the good die young) guarantee tears 😭
As much as you anf I adore Freddie Mercury. David Bowie comes a VERY close second! He doesn't have the voice but he is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians of all time and one of the classiest human beings ever! Get onto David Bowie!!!!!!
yeah cool how they mixed that because I don't think they ever got to do it live. Check out David though.
QUEEN and David Bowie met in Montreux- and this song was the result. Excellent 👌🏼😊
This song only gets better and better over the years
Two legends now singing together in heaven💙
Many congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers.
Thank you so much!!
The bass line is from ice ice baby. David sung at the Freddie tribute concert. George Michael singing someone to love is brilliant.
God I’m so envious that you will be exploring David Bowie for the first time ……. Love your channel
George Michael and Elton John singing don’t let the sun go down on me is epic!!!!!
I was wondering if/when Elton is going to be covered. I hope so
Dang I miss both of them. Incredible music and entertainment they gave us.
Freddy Mercury is so gifted he could make the now classic McDonald's jingle of "I'm Loving It" in a beautiful song.
I highly recommend the live version at Wembley 1986 where Freddie plays with the crowd before starting the song, it's legendary.
RIP, Freddie and David
Freddie is my hero
David bowie songs
Letter to hermoine
Occassional dream are beautiful and get overlooked ...soul love too is mega
Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson - There Must Be More to Life Than This Golden Duet. Nothing more to say! Check it out!
The Show Must Go On (complete with back story), and Love of My Life at Wembley stadium should be must reactions for you. Nothing like them
Excellent Song ❤❤
Congratulations on the success of the channel finally reaching one hundred thousand, I'm happy for you ❤
Ice ice baby used this base riff, thats where you heard it I expect.
Bowie - Space Oddity, 'nufff said
Annie Lennox performed Freddie's part (wonderfully) with Bowie at the 1992 tribute.
I am so glad you found Bowie. Queen and Bowie are in my top 5 of all time. I suggest to start on David Bowie at the end of his career wit Blackstar, When you do understand he was dying of a long terminal illness when he made it. I'll be watching for our take.
David Gilmour playd Comfortably Numb with David Bowie live in 2006 (David Gilmour _ Remember that Night).
The base line at the beginning was sampled without permission by Vanilla Ice on "Ice Ice Baby" and it ended up costing him $4 million.
It's a conundrum to pick where your David Bowie journey should start. He grew & grew from year to year & redefined himself on almost every consecutive album. From '67 to 2016, he was a chameleon that rarely disappointed, more likely blew you away. Some would say start from his first hit "Space Oddity". Not a bad idea, but if I wanted to highlight the inventiveness of his career, I'd say start with the song "Heroes" ('77). The truth is, anywhere is as good a place to start as any, because the next song you listen to will be like a brand new start.
The Song was in the movie: The Girl next door. I first listened to the Bass Line there……
Two music legends which we've sadly lost, R.I.P. Freddie Mercury and David Bowie.
Another great baseline from John Deacon, that's where this song started, it was co written by both David and Queen, David wrote the lyrics, Freddie and the band the rest of it. This and "Another One Bites the Dust" are probably two of the best baselines of all time, I don't feel that John gets the recognition which he deserves, but Queen was a band with an embarrassment of riches.
