Reviewer from Germany is right. I heard this remix of Heroes and its an insult. Don't know what that other guy is talking about by saying it reminds him of when Bowie fans hated him when he stopped being Ziggy. Whats that got to do with reviewing this record?! The fact is this version stinks. There are far better remixes out there. By the way I love Bowie. Always have, always will. Doesn't mean I have to like everything he releases though, right?

The writer from Germany is so wrong. This remix, especially the extended version, is a powerfully hypnotic rendering of a Bowie classic. Criticisms of this remix remind me of the fans who didn't want Bowie to ever move on from his Ziggy persona. I've been a Bowie fan since the release of Diamond Dogs in 1974 when I was 13 years old. Bowie gets better every year. Keep an open mind and you will really dig this remix.
Bowie allowed this garbage to be officially released?!?! November 9, 2003

I'm a lifetime fan of Bowie. I love Bowie.
I usually love the remixes of his songs - quite often more so than the originals, the Pet Shop Boy's "Hallo Spaceboy" remix being one fine example.
But this...
I absolutely, really can't believe this sorry excuse for a record has been released with Bowie's full approval. It's terrible!
Whoever this Guetta character is, he CANNOT make decent dance music. What he's done here is, basically, just sampled the line "We can be heroes just for one day" and repeats it all the way through the track ad nauseum and beyond! And, worst still, it barely mixes cohesively with the extremely tacky, simplistic beat.
Trust me on this: Nobody really needs this for their music collection, Bowie fans or otherwise. It's pathetic and yet another example of the latest "big name in the world of club DJs" who are just a load of hype and have little to zero creative talent.
DAVID GUETTA HAS KILLED A CLASSIC!
