"This is going to be a famous interview one day" - Aged like fine wine
he was quite clever saying that
@@jamiew1664 this comment going to be a famous one day :P
Envejecia con.clase !! Hermosooo David c persona tamb
i just scrolled for that comment, cheers
@@jarekp362me too :). In that sense Conan was great in having David Bowie on several times.
If David Bowie compliments your shirt, it's a moment you never forget.
Yeah, I'd be trying to snatch a photo with David so I could frame it with he shirt.
I think David wore a shirt just like it in 1969 😂
I guess he wants to know the shirt that you wear
@@obama281 I see what you did there 👏
Its hard enough to get a celebrity to compliment an average fan when they are SUPPOSE to engage with fans. Having him randomly pick you out of the audience and compliment you when he doesn't even have to acknowledge ANYONE in the audience is the sincerest form of flattery.
"You burst your G string." - 🤣
I love how happy he was at that!
It was his D string though!
@@resera5 I think it was a joke... G string :P
Conan was a fantastically witty host. And Bowie was so full of life.
and full of coke 😆
@@antoniodelgadomateos9921 If you’re full of coke 30 years after smoking it you’ve got an issue
Was?
@@vovahimself well the video wasnt taken in the present... and hes dead...so yeah.
@@notimportant1006 Conan???
I LOVED Bowie's laugh. It was so genuine and was like a full-body laugh. Miss the Starman, like everyone else.
I first heard his laughs in Labyrinth. What a baller to pull off that look with those tight ass pants
Yes! So full of wit. Beautiful man.
I miss the Star man too. 💓
I was going to write the same thing!
Same same. Reminds me of Alan Watts laugh! That deep, soulful, tonal, mischevious chuckle, rife with ciggies, whisky, cheeky British glee.
Say what you want about Bowie, but his thousand-yard stare at the slightest reference to Space Oddity was impeccable.
Yeah acting. What a good sport.
Wut Bowie > inf
He didn't like space oddity?
@@viniciusgoncalves2642 omg yes, he liked it, he and Conan were joking around
@@viniciusgoncalves2642 it's obviously about Conan stealing his song 🙄
You can notice how respectful conan is, everytime when Bowie talks, he listens without any interruption at all
There are so many talk show hosts .. But he's clearly better than most.
And how quick he is with every reference and topic - truly an actual legend of the game.
He is disrespectful if you ask me.
Damn, Bowie shined in every possible way. I loved everything about the guy - his voice, his looks, his immense, broad-ranging talent ,his intellect, and his down-to-earth personality, and a great sense of humor. One in ten million.
Don’t forget that laugh. His laugh was gorgeous. ❤
Sorry,more like 1 in half billion 🤷🏻♂️
Next only to Lennon in my opinion 😢💙
@@mmorrison9176 Hollywood = a place where spells are casts.
Singers and actors and politics = advanced A. I d?
The graves and tombs of all those famous and rich - why we believe these to be filled?
@@mmorrison9176Lennon was a woman beater .
I remember this fondly....during rehearsal, David sang those lyrics, got to “ground control to major tom”, and started laughing. “You can’t use that!”, he said. “I DINE off of that line”. One of the best reactions I’ve ever heard. Classic.
Were you in the audience? Or did you work for the show?
For me, I thought it was way funnier when, just after rehearsal, we were in the restroom, and David let out this huge fart, and he shouted out the line "you've really made the grade". What a legend.
@@SyntheticaYT He worked in the sound department.
@@keithws2779 You don't believe him? There many people who worked around celebrities you know, and they comment from time to time. Someone put a comment and explained how he talked with Diesel the wrestler for 45 minutes in a bar, and he was subjected to irony as well, but I thought there's no reason not to believe him. But if he asked me 100$ to make me meet him then I would be wary.
@@redshift8302 yeah I know, I'm just joking. Stuff like that happens all the time. In fact, I remember watching TV with my dad; David Bowie came on and my dad said in an irritated voice "ugh, I remember when he left all his stuff in our garage".
I was like "woh, woh, hold up. What? He left his stuff in your garage, and you're annoyed?"
He replied "well yeah, he left it there for ages."
Unlike my previous comment, this one's actually true. My dad, uncle, grandad etc met loads of famous people, including The Beatles, Elton John etc.
So you'd think that they must have been doing something amazing... Not quite, it was a transport company. Just driving trucks basically.
So, I have no reason to disbelieve the OP, I was just drunk and trying to be funny.
For the 25th richest man in Britain, and a rock god to boot, Bowie always came across as humorous, good natured and very smart.
I’m not sure it’s that odd for all of those things co-existing , but I do agree with you 👍
Being successfull and rich relieves a lot of that sort of stress that keeps many from coming across as good natured i guess.
He wasn't no where near even the 25th richest rockstar in England
@@MrThedonhead He was, in 1997. Followed by Paul McCartney and Tom Jones.
@@MrThedonhead He wasn't just a rockstar. Read his bio.
Love that he didn't have any rockstar vibes, just had his fun in a relaxed manner.
What a wonderful human being he was! Humorous, honest, intelligent and funny.
Yeees !!!
I always thought he was an Alien from Mars.
4:49 I know it's a joke song, but it's so easy for him to make it sound so good, that classic David Bowie singing. Just shows how incredibly talented this man was.
You can see that David Bowie enjoyed the company of smart comedians like Conan and Ricky Gervais
true. i think conan is the most genuine hosts out there.
Yes, and he was a comic genius himself.
I think he enjoyed being in laid back environments, he was always dealing with stuffy business types or with serious questions which is probably why he looked bored in certain interviews
Bowie Is a legend his presence still lives on
@@crowzreal agree
David Bowie had such an adorable personality, what a great person.
I still just feel such a loss for this artist. He was one that broke through the veil. Other worldly. Transcended the dimensions we are mostly confined to mentally.
Such a light. Dark star.
Totally agree 🙏
I don't usually have a feeling one way or another about celebrities passing, but Bowie's death touched me. As did Petty's, but that's probably because I had just saw him play at the Hollywood Bowl the week before.
He was such a perfectionist but he has a wonderful sense of humor.
It should be 'and'
@@xergiok2322
He was Irish, so he'll have a good sense of humor - notice how similar him and Conan look, blue eyes and all!
@@xergiok2322 Nice one
@@johnpatrick5307 His mother's grandparents were Irish. That's not very Irish...
@@SpaceCattttt
I'd say he was pretty Irish - he looked Irish - very white skin and blue eyes, high cheek bones .
Do you know of any English who looked like him?
Bowie was so far ahead of the game, he marketed Omicron in 1999.
@@4seeableTV it's a Greek letter, so it makes a lot of sense to transliterated it with a K (preserving the orthography which'd use kappa).
Would have been epic if the story line had been about a global pandemic
He also paid the price.
i loved the music there and the game - was so hot!
meme school
Just those few seconds of Bowie singing are better than most Super Bowl half time shows... What a legend!!
I never understood the appeal personally, I'm here trying to figure it out still...
Better how?
@@anklebiter9116 I think the comment was an exaggeration haha. But was Bowie a better showman then most of the performers who have performed at half time shows? Absolutely. That dude had one of the most pure and musically organic minds in music in general. Few stand at his level of artistry and expression via music imo.
Half time shows are so overproduced, robotic, and just "fake" feeling that it's honestly more of a hype show then it is about the music. Regardless, all this seems like a silly comparison, But Bowie's charm in this clip is far more entertaining then most halftime shows I have watched for sure lol.
You got that right
David Bowie is a class act. A very nice gentleman and down to earth.
He bought us a round of beers and sat down chatted with us for about 10 minutes or so.
He did a small intimate show in Diamond Club in Toronto many many years ago.
Thanks. Thats something you will always remember. A great guy
God damn..that's awesome! Bowie did the same thing in Sydney Australia..some lucky punters were in a pub and saw Bowie perform. I'm thankful I saw Bowie perform in Sydney, 2004 Reality tour..a night that lives on in my memories. Cheers
|Holy Hell!!! That's amazing!!!
what year do you think it was?
this will go down in history as David Bowie's and Conan O’Brien's "G-String Incident".
lol
Funny comment for sure, but it wasn't his G string :P
It was the D string
Bowie perfect timed the G string joke.
@@jb5546 ask your cool aunt what a G-string is, then you'll understand why David Bowie changed it. 😆
RIP David Bowie. Loved the look of his face when Conan hands him the song lyrics! 😃
Nice to see David being interviewed by someone as quick as he is.
David Bowie, the man, the performer, the writer, the imagination.... We are so darn lucky to have had him in our lifetime ❤️
I don't mean this in any disrespect to Andy, but David being Conan's sidekick for a bit would have been the absolute best comedy ever. David loved comedy.
I think his night gig was a lil better.
I felt that Conan was David's sidekick for a bit of it.
Lol, David Bowie playing second banana on a late night talk show? It would have been hilarious but a huge loss to music and art.
I NEVER thought he was this relaxed and humorous. In a concert some years ago it was getting late and there was still many songs to sing so he offered to drive everyone home in his motorhome. Lol. Just so easy, free, and relaxed kinda funny.
Bowie was a unique one-off...just be grateful you shared your time on Earth for a while with him.
I miss David Bowie, he really was incredible.
David Bowie vibing with Conan as he did with Ricky Gervais is the best. This interview was Pure Joy.
Conan is so good here. He's still young enough for the show to feel early on in its run, but lose enough that he feels like the relaxed Conan we know today.
David Bowie was stylish by just breathing, it was amazing.
Still brings my heart to ache that he is gone...there will never be another Bowie, ever
God I miss Bowie and The Conan Show
Yes. Love both, and Conan was a reason to watch basic TV.
Stefon: this interview has everything
Lmao! clever
MY DAAAAAD!
Guests dress in glittery shirts!
ah yes! he IS stefon's dad! 😂😂😂
I love the comedic timing and back and forth with Conan. David Bowie is so cool
As a fellow singer/musician/artist I cannot even express in words in any language how much I miss David Bowie. The most multi-talented man with a heart of gold. Beautiful person inside and outside. Miss you, David. Tonight at my gig I will be singing one of your incredible songs and sending you love to Heaven!!
Always loved what a great sense of humor Bowie had. Such a beautiful man.
I would have felt immortal getting a compliment from Bowie for my shirt.
why in the hell couldnt i have been into bowie while he was alive? im 42 and just now digging his stuff. what a talented dude.
Better late than never. Ziggy and Alladin sane is my favorite.
I can't remember a world without Bowie. He was always just there.
Bowie was 52 years old in this segment. Jesus.
Its so strange that i miss David Bowie.
I didn't know him,
I never even saw him live, but i loved his music from about 14/15 years old.
Lets dance was my first Bowie album but from there i started buying all the older ones.
Its so strange i get upset when i see him in these sort of videos and i miss him.
What a funny and charming man he seemed to be.
I never met him but I love him as a person. His interviews are, imo, as wonderful as his music.
I think so many artists come across with inflated egos and conceited attitudes. Bowie was always authentic, he OWNED his quirky past and was in fact self deprecating most of the interviews except when he says stuff like “rock god perks” and he’s joking. He is so disarming and you can just tell he has nothing to hide. I don’t like it when I see some of his work being sold for commercials
My god I wish he was still alive. Such a beautiful soul!
Bowie seemed like such a sweetheart 🥺💜
That was one of the most entertaining talk show guest spots I've ever seen.
Bowie handled fame so well, never seemed pretentious.
The best Conan O'Brien penned song that isn't about a monorail.
Nah, Dudez a plenti songs are better
Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!
Mono, d'oh!
The look on Bowie’s face when Conan pulled out the guitar! What a good sport he was though.
Rest In Paradise David 🙏❤🙏
RIP David, best singer/actor and human being ever.
They've got great comedic chemistry.
I want to see the other Conan/Bowie interviews now.
2:53 "this is gonna be a famous interview one day"... o boy that day came already
The greatest laugh and nicest guy. Man, can‘t believe that someone so full of life simply isn’t with us anymore. 😢
The world never deserved this musical legend but thank God we had him! Can you imagine music without him…without his ingeniousness…without his uncanny ability to push boundaries and not to give one damn about what haters had to say?!?!? Music without Bowie would be like electricity with no on switch; you know it’s there but you’ll never enjoy its luminescence.
Bowie was always so funny. Excellent sense of humor. Good actor as well.
I have alot of respect for this man because of what he did for Stevie Ray Vaughns career. Love hearing stevies licks in Lets Dance
what did he do for him ? im curious :o
@@icessoup in reality Stevie did it himself but when Bowie hired him, he was just "the unknown guitarist" on David Bowie's Let's Dance album. And then after that he was Stevie Ray Vaughn one of the greatest guitarists ever!
@@caliente-frio3966 Jackson let Stevie use his home studio to record Texas Flood.
He was so talented and down to Earth. I hope there's a Rock n Roll Heaven cause I'm sure he's in that band. R.I.P.
He was such an icon in so many ways! He is sorely missed!
You can see Bowie just enjoys interviews with Conan.
It was the D string, but David probably couldn't resist the innuendo for a laugh.
Bowie was a great artist with a beautiful voice. And a nice man too !!
I swear he was one of the funniest interviewees on the planet. And probably off the planet, too
Bowie's voice is so hypnotic that he could make a hit even out of Conan's lyrics ! 🤣😁😘
it amazes me that even though he didnt care he sang those lines better than 90% today without autotune
One of the coolest rock stars ever. I really miss Bowie…😢
I knew David for years. Back when he wasn't famous. He kept in touch when he did become famous. To be honest with you, he was one of the coolest dudes I have ever known. He always phoned me and we kept in touch for years. One of the most down to earth guys ever.
He had the ability to just write a song on the spot.
I miss him dearly.
RIP David.
Very interesting! I always liked Bowie, I felt his coolness was real.
@@johnkelly2663 it was. He was awesome.
Yes he turned down a knighthood
& the rockin roll HOF Total chin up guy
@@unclemaca legend.
Hi Billy. So pleased that you knew the man. I was in love with the stage Bowie when I was really too young, but he just expanded my mind and taught me to challenge convention. Sorry for your loss but to have known and lost is better than to have never known.
Bowie and Charlize Theron -- the most beautiful people of all time! Please upload the accompanying song he performs. We miss you badly, Thin White Duke. The world went to hell when you left the planet.
This must have been before she was at all A list, because they ignored her and never even panned to a reaction to anything once.
Imagine having played the guitar and have David Bowie sing along… what a privilege
Bowie's music was a big part of my teen years. The music will always stay with me.
The string breaking was perfect comedic timing!
It really was. Do you think that was real or planned?
The G string!
OMG I had NO IDEA he was this funny. I think he's a little nervous (eye roll, like he needs to be, yet...) because many performers are 'comfortable' performing in front of thousands yet very uncomfortable in a studio with only a few people so...he manages his anxiety with humour and he's HILARIOUS. GOD I miss this guy big time 😞
How fortuitous, omnicron, calling out this interview being watched in the future. What the heck
He's said some cryptic things about the internet too.
@jhand he also said he personally saw lucifer. And yes i am serious.
The LOOKS David gave Conan, before and after Conan pulled out his guitar, were PRICELESS. But David played along. I had never seen this. GREAT. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite haircut. He looked stunning when he had that haircut!
Bowie is a legend never to be emulated, totally original, totally unique, uncomparable!
David Bowie is such a fresh personality. I wanna be that energy every day!
Watching Bowie and Conan riff is pure gold. Both have brilliant minds😂❤
Finally, the origin of omicron has been revealed, and it was the last person anyone expected: Tom Jones
Omicron is a letter in the Greek alphabet.
@@FacheChanteDeux Yes and the media / cdc jumped over NU (new) and XI (chinese) to get here.
David Cassidy actually
this entire interview is two guys trying to outwit each other with wordplay and humour. It's quite wonderful.
The guy just drips with charisma
Man, ... that voice... he was such a good sport. What a legend
Conan, you are literally a doctor, man. Nothing but love for you. Thank you so much for all the positivity and joy you brought us. I hope we will get to see you many, many more hours in the future. All the best to you and the team.
This brought a big grin to my face. Love him and miss him so much. Thank you uploader!
David Bowie and Conan chatting is brilliant and 1999 video games - brilliant!
Classic!!! RIP Bowie.
Bowie was so cool, great person as well.
That’s what a talk show interview should be.
Very intelligent guy such a shame he’s no longer here 😢
His spirit lives on stronger than ever , his message was being down to earth and beyond imagination and finding that balance in your life
Ohh Man..That Voice when he starts to Sing!!🙏
I love all these wonderful comments about Conan. It's great to know lots of people truly appreciated his intellect and witty jokes. I use to stay up late to watch the Simpsons and him since I didn't have cable. I truly miss his show.
One of the greatest Bowie interviews indeed Conan.
How can one not love david bowie?
What a funny pair together! 😂
I honestly haven't seen that many interviews with David Bowie but he is really funny!!! I remember seeing him on this one show he put together and he was taking requests from people and he was soooo lovely and sweet!! . I mean I have always loved him but that nailed and and this just makes me smile. I needed this!!!
His Spiders From Mars band era was some of the best rock ever made to me.
Alice Coopers crew from the same era was as awesome as well🎶🎶
His song "Heroes" helped me a great deal last weekend. Thank you David Bowie. 🌷
Bowie's voice is so familiar now, it's almost like comfort food. But at the time.. people probably thought it was the weirdest thing on the radio. And when they saw how he LOOKED... that must have been a trip!
This interview was HILARIOUS! Bowie being so down-to-earth and gracious to sing O’Brien’s song. Very heartwarming. Bowie looking absolutely beautiful! Hair, beautiful features and that beautiful voice. RIP DB💕
Great segment. When he has a guest who can match his wit, Conan is always funny. Bowie here is clearly up to the task and having a good time with it.
David will forever be one of those stars you stare at and say “damn…I miss him”, he was a genius ❤️
Yes, a small group. Him, Robin Williams, maybe a couple others.
@@theflyingninja1 oh I so agree, Robin was an angel, stars like these should never die 😩
Oh my you know you miss this incredible man then you see this and feel just bittersweet joy ..
Bowie Girl Forever
Such a lovely gentleman loved and missed by so many.
Remember seeing this when it first aired now feels like a beautiful and funny dream .Him and Conan made a great comic duo.
