[zapposzczak]

So many thing i have found in Bauhaus music.

This band is one of the few that have rape my mind

[Karunadevidasi]

BTW the only reason I think Bauhaus are called goth all the time is b/c "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is a complete gothic anthem along with Christian's Deaths "Romeo's Distress"

and last but not least Sisters of Mercys "Temple of Love". I spent many years of long smoke machine nights in NYC clubs. these 3 songs were always played on the main dancefloor at some time of the night. lol

[Karunadevidasi]

Goth was not a musical genre when Bauhaus first came out, just like Joy Division has NOTHING to do with Emo, although emos like to claim these kind of bands.. Bauhaus did kickstart the genre along with Siouxsie , Virgin Prunes, Sex Gang Children, Sisters Of Mercy, Christian Death, etc. Joy Division, helped to devolop the sound some call "goth" today, even though I put Joy Division in a genre of their own. I just call all the rest"Classic Goth" for arguements sake.

For hipsters that love stereotypes: here Bauhaus invented Dark Reggae

[vaf88]

[cromlek]

[Spankabuttux]

I assume/may have read I can't remember that this song was purely from a newspaper headline, but can anyone tell me why I associate this song with the Alan Class reprint comics? 'Cos it does...

[simionTheOne]

this is one of their best with bela lugosi if u ask me

such a GREAT fuckin song!

[matthewmaus]

Far, far beyond Goth, mx

[tricksneed]

This song is about a couple killing a Nazi Colonel.

That is why the song is SOOO Bad Ass...

[DjWellDressedMan]

The BBC version of this song is faster

[dvargashell]

i was dancing with your uncle to this song.he stuck his tongue in my ear. i thought i better shift my package he does not werk for ups.

[Spiritualized1]

Look how cool. And while image was most certainly a consideration, the music was never a slave to fashion...or anti-fashion.

[vaf88]

new song design

[redjockuk]

Went to Northampton School of Art with Dave, Danny & Kevin in the 1970`s and used to get the 402 bus from Wellingborough to Northampton County Cricket Club with Pete to go to the Heavy Metal Discos!

[vaf88]

@redjockuk dude thats bs

[AnEnemy100]

A colonel by rank but a medic by profession. Interesting concept of accidental death messageofthemaker has there! Like,' we were bombing Laos but the civilian deaths were accidental' etc.

[kehezen]

terror terror couple couple kill kill kill kill colonel

[Paley]

Daniel Ash was my man crush in the 80s

[montecarlo362]

baader meinhof i think

[ralucagymnast]

One of my favourite Bauhaus songs; saw this band live many many years ago. They were amazing. Wow, this makes me feel old!!

[migagtitaa]

In his west german home...

[XMIR10C]

Bela Legosis Dead

[XMIR10C]

Saturday night

[lefrauens]

The greatest Halloween band!

[XMIR10C]

My neighbors hated it when I cranked this up on a Friday night. I made sure all the doors and windows were open.

[shutXitXmimmzy]

@XMIR10C holy crap i did the same thing. and its funny b/c i live in a ghetto place and they all love rap or super religious music. haha

[guthywoodry]

@XMIR10C

What, -You lived next door to The US Embassy? Lol.

But seriously, every single time Bauhaus are mentioned, someone has to go & say the 'G' word.... Those palid G%ths were drawn to Bauhaus' flickering strobes like sincerely necromantic moths to the flame / bats to the belfry... I never found out what the band made of their audiences. I wonder?

[katatmurderhaha]

@XMIR10C lol I want to be your neighbour

[messageofthemaker]

This is the best Bauhaus song ever!

[loiraso]

A pearl of wisdom and nonsense. Love it!

I always put the blame on the colonel! I'm sure the couple had their reasons!

[messageofthemaker]

Actually, there is an interesting story behind this song. it is about an American Colonel that was stationed in Germany, and a German extremist gang - post WWII. Google this song, and see what you come with.

[bigtimepimpin666]

Funny I wanted to hear the song and also find out what it was about. Just in hearing about it I would always imagine a post WWII German terrorist group killing an American Col. in the height of the cold war. I think in the back of my mind I remember one of our Cols actually were murdered with a Explosively Formed Penetrator (very old method for defeating armour). But maybe this is just dilusions from a mind with an Anxiety disorder

[messageofthemaker]

Actually, you are not to far from the truth on that. It was a type of German terrorist group that killed a United States colonel. It was more accidental. He got caught in the blast of a bomb.

[6747654]

:D Mm peters voice is so lovely

[huntingcrop]

This song just flat out rocks :] I love it so much

[XMIR10C]

yes it was all morbid - 1988 - Sensoria - Industry - Duffy - Art of Noise -

[Marcuskristicus]

The variety of Bauhaus was extraordinary, considering they were stereotyped as a "goth" band.

Explosive post/punk, dark compositions, almost poppy/dance tracks...it sure wasn't all morbid dirges with these guys!

[WoodRatGirl]

Exactly Marcuskristicus, which is why I hate those damn stereotypes!

[TheKontosuburbian]

@Marcuskristicus This is post-punk, definitely.

[NerdGogo]

@Marcuskristicus I agree. Kick In The Eye is quite "poppy". Amazing band!

[calo3152]

@Marcuskristicus thats the common error to put labels on bauhaus because on that time it was not a style it was en is just a way they feelt en experience things i believe that peter murphy would not stample his compositions in any of the way so many gotics or werever they are in front a mirror until they reach 30 hahahahah BAUHAUS RULES PSICOLOGY FOR THE MIND!!!!

[stephecono]

@Marcuskristicus That name came much latter, and "us" (people who grew up in the time of Bauhaus) didn't call them goth! NO one sounds like Bauhaus, and no one ever will, so how can people labble them!

[YeJiub]

crappy version..

[TheSchmuck2]

@Marcuskristicus yes! and their avant-garde contributions!

[temptstress666]

oooMFgggggggggg <333

[rcweimer]

It has to be a conspiracy getting all these people to comment saying how much they like this song.

[anx2bh]

the fondtment of the goth sonud

[drfunkylovemonkey]

fondtment?

[cquence23]

I think they meant fondement, French for ground, foundation, or origin

[hordesoftheundead]

Could anyone tell me if the bassist was in the Howling 2 as the house band? thanks

[sp45ih]

One of my favorite songs by them, love it. I saw them a few years ago, amazing live. It blew my mind when I looked right into Peter's eyes and Daniel's eyes.

[GraceGunz]

I get high by just listening to them. They're amazing.

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Classic Bauhaus

[armanias]

These guys are sexy.

[angiol]

i love bauhaus!!!!!

[andrpao]
