    No, it’s not a typo. He has never heard this song. He only knows it’s bass riff from Vanilla Ice. He hears it for this first time here.

      It is not live it is a mash-up of Freddie at Wembley and then Bowie at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. It is a very good mash-up though, Kudos to the person who put it together.

    Just so you guys aren’t shocked; their music has been used by hundreds of artists over the years.
    You’re my Best Friend, Don’t stop me now, Fat Bottomed Girls. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Killer Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, Bicycle Race, Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure, We Will Rock You, Another One Bites the Dust, We Are The Champions, I Want to Break Free, The Show Must go on, Radio Ga Ga, A Kind of Magic, Somebody to Love, I Want it All, One Vision, Flash Gordon Theme, These are the days of our lives, Living on my Own, etc.
    The facts are that they didn’t ever write a bad song. Every single song was a smash, and you can’t take everyone to court over using samples.
    The saddest part is that it was only the management that took Vanilla Ice to court. Queen as a band were actually flattered by people using their music & very much welcomed it.
    There have been numerous dance remixes of Living on My own.
    We are the champions & Another one bites the dust; were exclusively players at almost every sports venue in the western world.
    You’re my best friend has been used in more movies in modern cinema than any other song in history.
    You’ll actually have heard of a lot of their songs and just not realised it’s Queen.

    I was ten years old when Ice Ice Baby came out, and I don't think I'd ever heard Under Pressure at that time.
    I remember through the 90s how funny it was when the opening riff came on the radio, you'd try and guess what they were playing. On the 'grown-up' stations, they'd be playing Under Pressure, but you'd be mouthing "Alright stop, collaborate and listen..." to yourself with a smile on your face. Then occasionally, they'd surprise you, and play Ice Ice Baby for a laugh. And nowadays, in the last five, ten years or so, you're just as likely to hear Mr Van Winkle as Mssrs Mercury and Bowie on these grown-up stations.
    The fact remains, though, that that riff is just so iconic, it just grabs your attention, and you listen to the song. Classic.

    It was a studio collaboration , I don't think it was ever performed together but both did it live at gigs . I hate ' sampling' other people's stuff . There is a video which uses footage from both cleverly to make it look like they were performing together .

  • @sherryheim5504
    @sherryheim5504 Před 2 měsíci +3

    I really do love this song and it is amazing how well it came together because there are parts where it is definitely a Bowie song and parts where it is definitely a Queen song. Thank you for reacting to this one. David Bowie's real name was David Jones but I don't know his son's name. This is an iconic bassline written by John Deacon and the very beginning of what became this song. David was sometimes political, yes. The story is that VI never asked and didn't give credit so he was sued by Queen and Bowie for over 10 million dollars and of course they won. With that said, VI got like a 4 platinum record for Ice Ice Baby, something that was just not happening with music from that genre at that time. For him to turn around and lie about it was pathetic and then even after being sued he tried to say he now owned the rights to Under Pressure which he does not and never has but he does own the rights to Ice Ice Baby. Queen and Bowie were kind to VI because they could have made him pull the record and give them any monies that it had made on top of the 10 million but they just let him run with it and told him in no uncertain terms that he did not own the riff and he had no claim to Under Pressure.

    Dr Dre sampled "I got the" by Labi Siffre for "My name is" by Enimen. So it’s not true to say he didn’t lift beats from other people. The beat is used all the way through the song.

    They did not know abt him using their bass line.

    John Deacon came up with the rift. He was playing it all morning. They stopped at lunchtime to go for a pizza. When they returned back to start recording again. Apparently John had completely forgotten the rift. Luckily Roger Taylor had remembered it. 😆😆
