Peter Murphy 1989 TV interview with Bauhaus vocalist

[snakey319]

As much as I love Bauhaus, this is very Spinal Tap-ish. That interviewer!

[EmmaSkye7]

"I don't take drugs. I don't drink.... all the time"

@TheReverendRaver

[caitlinx54]

AHH FML! People back then were obsessed with the real shit like Anne Rice, today all you hear about is fucking Stephenie Meyer and her bs.

[MrsChaosBitch]

@caitlinx54

yeah.. and people were much more beautifuller back then...

[TheLadyPoe]

He is so beyond sexy!

[Meatbass666]

IN utro.. That Bowie

[runthruthewoods]

@michaelclarke18  If Bauhaus / Peter Murphy originated 1978, how can David Bowie predate them/him by 25 years ? Wouldn't that be around 1953 ? Long Live Bauhaus and Peter Murphy ! Loved seeing you with NIN in 2006 in Atlanta Ga.

[prinznevsky]

the interviewer totally wants him....

[JinxxxieSiouxAsh]

♥♥♥♥ Eu te amooooo Peter ♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gemshines999]

I have allways loved him so very sexy. nomnomnom

[n0wave]

This brought back many memories, The New Music was a lifeline for many in the Toronto area :)

[calidoinframundo]

TE AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO

I LOVE YOU PETER

[jorgedolivera]

@MoltenCoreMusic Oh, shit. I've posted in the wrong link. My bad. And I'm sorry. I'll fix it now.

[SallyMander4711]

Peter Murphy sounds like a fucking idiot-agh! Underwhelmed!!!!Beyond Underwhelmed.......

[Fushia1992]

5:27 - where can I find this version of Spirit? I want it so bad!!!

[MySunra]

sounds like lou reed

[GLITZandGLOOM]

@heavydutydudes it's "Spirit" by Bauhaus. So in essence, it's still Peter's song lol. Peter's such a well-spoken man. Such a legend.

[GrislyBloodfeast]

Has there EVER in the history of mankind been a more beautiful man? I think not. I wish they would have made that movie with Peter then instead of the awful and horrendous piece of trash that so many years later was 'the queen of the damned'...with the worst music ever. Seriously, why wasn't this man in anything other than The Hunger? He is even more gorgeous than Bowie...and that's no easy task.

[comasex]

@GrislyBloodfeast He's beautiful. But I don't think anyone beats Bowie.

[michaelclarke18]

David Bowie copied the style of Pete Murphys voice.

[MoltenCoreMusic]

@michaelclarke18 . Good one! gave me a hearty morning belly laugh.

[SallyMander4711]

@michaelclarke18 wtf???

[michaelclarke18]

@SallyMander4711  - it's a joke Sally!

[SallyMander4711]

@michaelclarke18 oh alrighty then-ya had me goin' for a sec-good lad!

[PiskieBenWa]

@michaelclarke18 I remember seeing Bauhaus around the time Bowie was touring / supporting Iggy on the idiot or Lust for Life tour.

I always thought he ( Murphy ) was a bit of a combination of the two, ... but as far as Bowie copying Murphy? then all I can say is ... think again!?!?

[michaelclarke18]

@PiskieBenWa hahahhahahhahahahahahahahha

[GinaCary]

@michaelclarke18 Darling do your homework. David predates Peter by 25 years. David is an original. Really dumb comment.

[michaelclarke18]

@GinaCary I think you'll find, Peter is the real original here!

hahahahahahahahahah

[timothyhumphreys]

@michaelclarke18

yeah....in 1979 when bauhaus hit the scene, bowie payed off everyone in the world to pretend that he didn't actually exist prior. then, he picked up the murphy persona and made like bauhaus stole it.

btw, does pm not admit openly that his approach to goth was in fact shaped entirely by bowie?

go buy a new emf record idiot.

[michaelclarke18]

@timothyhumphreys - get a sense of humour you old fool

[MrsChaosBitch]

@michaelclarke18

dude, Bauhaus and PeteR Murphy were inspired by David Bowie

[EmmaSkye7]

@michaelclarke18 the only problem with that is

David Bowie had his first hit in 1969 with Space Oddity

I'm not sure the exact year Bauhaus's first "hit" was in, but I know it was either the late 70's or early 80's

[Squeaky1423]

@michaelclarke18 Uh, I beg to differ...I absolutely adore Peter Murphy, but it's the other way around. Murphy was influenced by Bowie...

[Yaponchik78]

"Tale of the Tongue" live! Awesome!

[heavydutydudes]

what song is @ 5:27 please !!!!!!!!

[heavydutydudes]

i NEED to know what song is @ 5:27

[PURExVENOM]

This video makes me so upset to see what has happened to vampires today...

[NathaPotter]

What is the song at 4:00 please ?

[GGiblet]

@NathaPotter

"Tale of the Tongue" is the song title

cheers!

[NathaPotter]

@GGiblet thank you verrrryy much!!!♥

[venicequeen34]

Peter Murphy is GORGEOUS and smart as hell to boot. "Commanding with charisma" is him to a tee.

[beksinski]

Wow, this is really silly.

[ravenmarie]

in love...

[MsDrCaligari]

I love him! and Lestat. :D

[NathaPotter]

@MsDrCaligari hahahahahaa:D

[fluffbuttons]

ungggggggg

[Criddington]

He's an incredibly sophisticated guy, very cool :)

That girl interviewing him, look at her at 1:00, she wants him so bad!

Bauhaus were/are one of the finest and inventive bands ever, it's so uncool that I was born so late! That said, I've made it my mission to find everything they've ever produced - the new 'deluxe editions' of their studio albums are sublime, but my favourite has to be the 'live in New York' from a few years ago :D

[clod8]

@Criddington I want him so bad!  I met him in 1985, I was 15...swoon...

[SachiDachi]

Who wouldn't want him?

[MrsChaosBitch]

@Criddington

I was born to late too... It's not fair I want to live in the '80.. 2011 sucks ass

[Ypipable]

look for what's out of place...

[TheMoira1]

thanks for posting!

[MikeMoldao]

I TOUCHED HIM 2 DAYS AGO :'D

[zerozander]

@MikeMoldao Lucky you!

[THRILLER761]

@MikeMoldao Wait what???!!!!!

[Sasukelover1024]

@MikeMoldao: You too? Oh god that was the best concert I went to :D

[kachingalicious]

[IsabelDhampir82]

He's perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[Keysta7]

gr8 clip!

Thanks for posting.

Love the quality not

bad for a 20 year old clip.

[SesshyLover1585]

Followed by Frank Stallone? Wow, that's about as far from Peter Murphy as you can get!

[0livia0live]

Peter would have been a much better Lestat than Tom Cruise was.

[HarryPotter87]

His British accent's really dreamy

[supermario2084]

What's the name of the song at around 4:00?

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Its his song! Tail of the tounge.

[supermario2084]

Thanks!

[punkalamod]

The interviewer is Laurie Brown. The interview was for City TV's New Music. She went on to become a MuchMusic VJ, and is now the host of The Signal on CBC Radio.

[demzolo]

I absolutely adore Peter, and I love his look.. he's so unique!!

[kallysto999]

Who is she?.

[kermit9978]

she used to be a muchmuisc VJ, I cant remember her name, though.

[facelessfiend6]

what was the last song he was singing?

[Jakegothicsnake]

Wow, he has a really debonair, aristocratic feel about him, doesn't he?

[kallysto999]

Que vampiro mas delicioso.Lo veo en esta entrevista y olvido que es my cantante favorito,solo veo a un hermoso vampiro y quiero que me muerda.Haslo ,mi gotico Murphy,dejare la ventana abierta para ti.Dame el beso del vampiro,estoy lista.Isabel Dhampir Bowie,HERMANA GOTH DE cALLYSTO999.

[LikkleLuie]

3:27

That would've been awesome, had it happened :)

[LunaSeaSane]

He is totally likeable. Much in the way of all all round decent bloke.

[indefinitepit]

I like Peter and all but holy shit petermurphyphreak, please leave some things to the imagination please, lol

[petermurphreak]

He's FUCKING DYNAMITE HOT!!!! Peter, YOU ARE THE COUNT!!!!! You can fucking come to my house and turn into my own "personal vampire"!!! I know that I'd be THRILLED to suck on other than your gorgeous neck!!!!!

[Rockera4life]

P.s. He is hot!!!

[Rockera4life]

What an awesome interview!!

He should have been Lestat instead of Tom Cruise.

[Paratherion]

Vampires are erotic primarily for the same reasons Aleister Crowley hid references to sex acts behind descriptions of sacrifices. It is easy to sell Vampirism, whereas sexuality gets shut down by the media.

Also, Vampires have been known to exist in contemporary times in the form of psychic parasites. They captivate, obsess and then drain their hosts.

[Jakegothicsnake]

Actually, sexualiyt doesn't always get shut down by the media. Especially a few months ago they aired for a while this Burger King commercial featuring Spongebob Squarepants and it had the king and a bunch of sexy dancers dressed like spongebob and wearing rectangles under their pants to make their backsides square and the were rapping to a remixed version of Baby got Back. I found it to be absolutley apalling......

[TheCelticNinja]

That commercial marked the end of American Culture, to me. We've done it, we've hit some sort of commercial wall, and we're not turning around quickly enough.

[80stimeagain]

I like how Peter talks about eroticism

[SherryeLyn]

I've seen him so many times I can't quite remember them all, haha! SO many tours... I slowed down after awhile, though. I only saw him once last June.

( - ; When I first saw him live in 1987, he just blew me away. I rarely have that reaction to a performer. My reaction was comparable to the one I had when I first saw Bowie as Ziggy in 1973. (Yes, I'm older than Peter, but younger than Bowie.)

[petermurphreak]

I bet Peter is quite a "force of nature" in person!!! Man I am really fucking jealous that you've seen my idol that I adore so much so many times!!! Even last year!!! Although now his once "great looks" have gone down a bit... I guess (sigh!) he couldn't stay in his 20's forever, but musically Peter will always be GREAT!!! and I also always loved Bowie... he's really the main "DADDY"of a lot of these great music genres!!!

[SherryeLyn]

This was from 1987. I first saw him in February of 1987, and the next two times were April of 1988 and September of 1988. By 1988 he had cut his hair and darkened it more again. (I also saw him several times in 1990, a few times in 1992, a few times in 1995, etc., etc., etc.)

[petermurphreak]

You've seen my fucking IDOL in concert that many times??? I really fucking ENVY you!!! I've seen "Love&Rockets" a couple of times before and I do love them too!!! but UNFORTUNELY I've never seen Peter in concert!!! He's a fucking "wet dream"!!! I bet that he was just as gorgeus in person back then as he appeared on the videos!!!

[ivorytower99]

Wow, Never seen that clip. Yes, the live shots are from '88: He played 'Spirit' on that tour. Same hair as well.

[AliciaLovich]

what a handsome man!

[93horus93]

Wow, yeah Peter Murphy should have played Lestat would have made much more sense than fucking Tom Cruise.

[giacblanc]

Becoming modesty, a hallmark of all Peter's works and actions. Sting as Lestat or anything else is ludicrous. How many movies has his sourpuss ruined! Stin ( always drops his "ings" ) is delusional; said he was "inspired" by Jack Bruce, singer, virtuoso bass player, composer who stood only 5'-3. Barred him from an operatic. Also movie/heart throb career. O Lucky man ! Stin' - 6' -0", used his shapely gams -2nd in an all England 100 m dash. PM omits Christopher Lee's Dracula. Alas.

[ajittffcure]

Nice interview. Peter Murphy is the undisputed Count Dracula of music.

[RIEvamp]

Peter Would have made an amazing Lestat. I loved interveiw with the vampire but the queen of the damned and stuff was really bad. I thought. anywa. Peter is so beautiful!

[bekizplayhouse]

Shame Lestat turned out so dreadful. Take a great book and mutilate it.

[QuartzPyramid]

peter is extremely handsome in that interview

Bauhaus=greatest band...ever

[torimasta]

Couldn't agree more!

[angenian]

What makes this clip so great?

Tale of the Tongue live!

Imagining the Lestat that could have been, which, wow. The mind reels.

Tale of the Tongue live! (It bears repeating)

[DeepUnreal]

THANK YOU! ha!the Anne Rice connection is inevitable!He does have a vampirish charisma.

[PurpleBlueHaze]

At 5:12 I can definalty know what he's talking about!! I'm a goth and I usualy like to put on lot of dark makeup! I hate my school for I'm the only Goth there!!!! I scare people all the time!

All they have to do is look at my face:(

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Peter is so gorgeous in this vid!!!!

[PurpleBlueHaze]

He's right!! Vampire are the perfect rockstars!!!!

[PurpleBlueHaze]

He would have been so good in that movie!!

There's that rumor of Peter trying to play a part in the movie "Interview with the Vampire" Since rumors and facts always goes to another person and another; it must have started with this fact and ended up with the rumor of him trying to be in "The intervew with the vampire" instead!!

Can both be true??? I think so yah!! He would have been good in both of them!!! Oh well!

[PurpleBlueHaze]

yes very good to see it!!

[PurpleBlueHaze]

What's that big word he said in 2:06 ???

[comasex]

subtle like eroticism

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Oooohhhh!!!! lol, I'm sorry! I thought it was just one word!!lol, thanks!

[kymm00]

I believe he said "...subtle-like eroticism..."

and wow. Peter talking about eroticism... leaves me almost speechless.

He looks fantastic here and his hair is gorgeous.

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Yah! Thanks! And youre right! He is gorgeous! Very Gorgeous!!!

[QuartzPyramid]

hahah, exactly

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Oh!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!
