The unmistakable bassline in 'Under Pressure' is probably one of the most iconic intro's in rock music history. It's a rock anthem we've all heard, and have all likely belted out at the top of our lungs at some point in our lives.
I've been a Bowie fan from the Ziggy Stardust days and was a queen fan already back in '75, when a friend turned on to their first album. Thinking how I've outlived them both makes me feel very, very old. But thankful to be here saying that.

I remember watching this live on SNL, back when it used to be funny :
ReplyDeleteDennis Miller - “I used to start ‘Weekend Update’ with a rock-and-roll song that would try to hit the ground running. So one time Vanilla Ice was on, and that night he played his Vanilla Ice song [hums opening of “Ice Ice Baby”] and I was just sitting there apoplectic, since I’m a Bowie fan, watching this guy with a fade, you know, of ancient Aztec cave-wall drawings on his sideburns do this. So I opened the news — which happened two minutes later — with Bowie’s song [“Under Pressure”]. And then the crowd went crazy because they knew what I was doing. Then I said, ‘That is a great Bowie song. I bet you somebody copies that one day.’ [Laughs.] I don’t know the kid’s name — Chris, maybe? [Editor’s note: It’s Rob Van Winkle.] — but at the end of the show, when we’re all standing onstage, he came up and shook my hand and said, ‘You got me.’ So he was at least cool about it.”
How did Bowie manage to NOT get AIDS from Freddy?
ReplyDeleteUnder Pressure was the first song played on the radio channel on the Falklands Task Force. It was of course dedicated to the Argentinians.
