I am a hardcore Bowie fan, but Bauhaus made this track their own.Once you hear this, there's no going back to the original. Interestingly, Bowie-file Scott Weiland nicked Murphy's look and the idea for the video for Velvet Revolver's Slither vid.
I play the guitar with a kitchen knife in a middy and skirt and return from a gentle singing voice and a pure musical piece, a miniskirt to the youth when all bread Czira showing it is occasionally sweet-sour..
@brankometalac In what way are you saying this? Because it certainly is Bauhaus performing. Murphy is a huge Bowie fan and clearly modelled himself to some degree on Bowie (not taking anything away from him; Peter Murphy is a phenomenon). If they think enough of the song to cover it, who are we to argue with them? Anyway, covers often make me cringe, but I've always loved this (and I'm an hugely insane Bowie fanatic).
I remember when this came out and telling a friend how good it was. I got a nose in the air reply that I should listen to the original (as if I hadn't) as it was the real thing and therefore better. How wrong.
@LittleGodOfThunder That is a fact. There's no point in saying a cover is better than the original, since there'd be no such thing as the cover is the original wasn't composed!
@LittleGodOfThunder Seriously??????1!!! I am 47 ///// Yeah it is a cover BUT I BELEVE IT ONE OF THE BEST COVERS OF ANY BAND EVER....HUGE FAN OF BOTH BANDS
David Bowie is Great! but also this cover from Bauhaus... Ohhh their music is simply great <3... why theres no good music anymore!!!!??!!!??... Long live to old times! were the best even if i didnt had the luck to live them xDD....
this is supposed to be as good or better than Bowie's version? HAHAHA, what?! Maybe I'm not versed in the pop culture inclinations of these eras, but this feels like the retarded version of Ziggy Stardust.
I am a hardcore david bowie fan and I love this cover. Cant say i like it more than the original you see it belongs to an album that is well godlike for me but hell its equally good one of the best covers out there i can see the respect the band had for bowie. Really really great cover i am thrilled.
Peter, to see you with your head thrown back and your BREATHTAKING pale blue eyes half-closed while your SUCCULENT/RIPE RED LIPS are parted in COMPLETE ECSTASY and MOANING NON-STOP while my WORSHIPPING MOUTH is MAKING LOVE to every INCH of your GOD-LIKE self and taking you to a PLEASURE LAND you didn't even know "existed"!!!...
I'm honestly shocked anyone would like this version better than Bowie's. It's lacking in almost every aspect to Bowie's. Ronson's guitar playing alone trashes this slap dashed version. Nevermind how (unusually) weak Peter Murphy's vocals are by comparison.
@LANBritain1 I don't want a rant. I'm not a troll. I don't love Bauhaus, but I always liked Peter Murphy's voice. I really want an explanation of why someone would like this version better.
Can you reference me where Bowie said he liked this version better? Just curious.
^o^ I personally like this version better because it's a lot catchier , has more rhythm to it , Peter's voice has more feeling in it , the whole band puts more feeling to it , and it just sounds....more alive. ^^
I'm not going to share and promote you and this tune on my music page if you don't let me play your vid over at fb. We do segues over there. Let me know if you change your mind. I don't get it, anyway. It's not any less secure on fb than it is here.
Bowie's original was always a bit limp, especially the studio version, Mick Ronson should've played his guitar more like this, while Dave was checking his eye-liner or being a serious artist or whatever the fuck!
@1964chrissie Seriously, dude? Ronson's guitar is way more interesting than this copy. And you're putting down eyeliner? Did you look at the singer? This band wouldn't be in existence if Bowie hadn't put his eyeliner on...not to mention that fishnet shirt!
This video & tune are like a blunt force head trauma inflicted by Bauhaus and you know you're lurching away with a slight amount of dain bramage, if you're one of the lucky ones?!! Light years better than Bowie's original, can listen to it over and over again 'til my ears bleed and then some!!
It's interesting how a lot of Bowie fans -- and allegedly even the Man himself -- prefer the Bauhaus version to the original. When I took some time to think about it, I realized that (for me at least) it's all about the swagger that Bauhaus bring to the song via the heavy rhythm and guitar.
The lyrics are about a band peaking as it falls apart: so it's close to what was happening at the time in Bauhaus -- so they were _living_ the song, not just covering it...
@bleuroo A nice one from u! I'd like just 2 add just this: the secret is "Bauhaus" made it more both punky and intense, from any point of view - whether it's' bout rhythm, vocal or music itself.
As a person who acknowledges and has great respect for Bowie's achievements but is only a fan of select latter-day songs who also happens to go nuts over anything Peter Murphy, I can pretty much assure you all my opinion would be rather biased. I'm still peeved that I missed Murphy's performance last June at this small venue here in New York (the Delancey) that normally houses indie punk showcases and local fetish goth parties. All good stuff but we're talkin' Peter Murphy.
i'm confused, well i know generally, but just a lil in my earlier comment, so i'll xplain myself before asked or reprimanded by killin joke fans, the two vids i have just double checked, to prove to myself that i'm not inventing stuff for the singer desperate to be david bowie are as follows-- darryl hall in armchair in look and appearance for the vid -Hall and Oates "she's gone2 and not killing joke but i mean pychodelic furs with "pretty in pink" my apologies, check the hall &oates one ,funny
does anyone know what bowie thoyught of this band, they were pioneers in their own right i know, is there a interview anywhere. ohh ohh, oh yeah whats that band that has the lead singer who really wants to be a bowie clone, killing joke pops into my head, but dont think its them, oh oh and i saw a very early hall and oates promo t'other day before they looked all hillbilly quiffs and mullets and in it sitting on the sofa darryl hall so wants to be bowie in his mannerisms
@the77punks An excellent cover of an excellent song, but I prefer this cover I suppose because I prefer the original song. More guitar crunching, I suppose! But as stated, two great covers, two great songs!
Rozz Williams have done Time and Do Do much better than bowie and I also liked that Langley School thingie, when they made Space Oddity. Nirvana's "man who sold the world" cover is overrated though.
yeah,it weird,back then we had these dark bands,some were very theatrical,and they were just sorta scary,and,well,out on the west coast we had the Misfits,and then you had this shock-a-billy thing,then came the term "deathrock"...im lucky to have seen alot of them,and we just went to shows...sometimes it was all fast punk bands,another would have slower,english -type bands,and then a scary show...it got REAL clickish...
There was a reason all this music was called "underground" rock... because most of the pubs they originally performed in were dank cellars and basement pubs where the misfits and punks hung out.... it was thick in drug culture and breaking away from the more "pop" versions or concepts of what music was....
A conversation with some old friends this week lead me to come & have a look at this again - can't believe it's had 1.5M+ hits! I'm in this video-about 1min 11 on someone's shoulders wearing a Johnson shirt with a big Japanese sun on the back, dancing badly (nothing's changed in the last 29 years then). Was recorded in the basement of the Roundhouse in London on a hot afternoon in August 82. They did 2 live songs (covers) before recording it - Third Uncle & Rose Garden Funeral of Sores. Fun day,
I gotta say this a week ago I was originally looking youtube for a Live Bowie original performance of this song but couldn't find it so I stumbled upon Bauhaus never heard of before. To make a long story short I got hooked on the style of music and lyrics, went out and bought a Peter Murphy CD - Ninth (last time I bought a CD in over 10 years) and ordered Go Away White album online should be here next week! I wish I would of knew of their appearances in Pittsburgh this past decade... *sigh*:/
I wish I had been around back in the days of Bauhaus. I love their music, and you just don't find the same these days. I did get to see them live in 2006, though, and that was freakin amazing.
I remmber bumping into Pete once around this kinda time on Albany Street (near Gt Portland St) & it was a jaw dropping moment for my friend & I. It was when I worked @The Batcave (so very pre/early goth movement). My friend & I (who found fame with another band) were jumping up & down hitting 1 another tp make sure we'd just walked past Mister Murphy/Maxell ad (LOL-you have to be a certain age to get the reference) we couldn't believe it. Oh those were the glory days/daze. Thanks for sharing x
Peter Murphy looks like the sex in this, and so does the guitarist in the net shirt.
When the heck will the androgynous/dandy/ambiguous musician/artist thing come back into style dude? Am I gonna have to wait until my whole head is gray and then find some guy in his 20s or 30s, -fifty years from now when this all comes back into style again-, who I'll let use me for my money??!!
@Thecuregalore94 I don't give a damn. As long as somebody else wakes me when the androgynous/dandy/ambiguous musician/artist thing comes back in style so that I can grab one of those hot beauties! You do what YOU wanna do.....
@Thecuregalore94 Uhhhh....no?? Not unless I'm trying to reply and talk on YOUR personal page! LOL Because then yes, I will more than try my hardest to never say anything to you on there. But I'll say whatever I want to here, thank you very much.
@Thecuregalore94 Herp de derp?? What the fff....??? Why are you using a French person's last name? Look I was never talking to you in the first instance, so why bother trying to shut me up in the last instance? Uhh buh-bye, buh-bye!
@jrmetmoi Now then DERP are you seriously so out of touch you don't recognise the herp/derp meme? And i bothered to shut up you because someone needs to tell you that the 80's androgynous gay scene is long dead and gone. Now's the era of dubstep, get used to it love.
@Thecuregalore94 Well now that would be why I said and I quote: 'When the heck will the androgynous/dandy/ambiguous musician/artist thing come back into style dude? Am I gonna have to wait until my whole head is gray and then find some guy in his 20s or 30s, -fifty years from now when this all comes back into style again-, who I'll let use me for my money??!!'
Now do you follow? Keep up people, keep up, come on now!
@Thecuregalore94 I believe you are horribly misinformed. Dubstep is nothing but a bunch of 3 year olds who got into daddy's sample collection and now think they can make beats. Fucking pathetic and everybody that likes it is a tasteless asshole. Drum and Bass has been her for years (since before either of us were born) and is still ripping it up on a nightly basis. When you've had enough of being a retard, google concord dawn and .
@Thecuregalore94 how aut youbo go somewhere else trollfag, maybe go out from under your bridge and stop hiding behind your computer to make yourself seem all big. Yes dubstep sometimes good, but when it gets publicised by someone like you, it takes a big fall. Maybe you should take break and listen to something that's not made on a synthesizer =P
@TranquilisedMorgan HERP DE DERP. Allow me to tell you my favourite bands: The Cure, Joy Division, The Smiths, The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel. Now then DERP, let's check if there's a synthesiser in any music by The Smiths, The Black Dahlia Murder or Whitechapel...Oh I see, NONE. Because the fact of it is...Synth was fun in 1983...For me it's either dubstep or death metal.
@ladycplum Wrong. In actual words, dubstep is the soothing beat of computer-enhanced wobbles, sometimes infused with a sample from a film/television show, along with perhaps the back track of a trance mix or even a grime/rap piece. As for the death metal, a series of challenging arpeggios, raw, visceral vocals, drumming of intense rhythmic demand, a throbbing bass alternately plucked at high speed and the possible use of a breakdown, although these are more commonplace within deathcore pieces.

wow. I was not expecting this because Bowie is a god, and although I fucking love these guys, I did not think this would be better than the original.

yeah,it weird,back then we had these dark bands,some were very theatrical,and they were just sorta scary,and,well,out on the west coast we had the Misfits,and then you had this shock-a-billy thing,then came the term "deathrock"...im lucky to have seen alot of them,and we just went to shows...sometimes it was all fast punk bands,another would have slower,english -type bands,and then a scary show...it got REAL clickish...

There was a reason all this music was called "underground" rock... because most of the pubs they originally performed in were dank cellars and basement pubs where the misfits and punks hung out.... it was thick in drug culture and breaking away from the more "pop" versions or concepts of what music was....

A conversation with some old friends this week lead me to come & have a look at this again - can't believe it's had 1.5M+ hits! I'm in this video-about 1min 11 on someone's shoulders wearing a Johnson shirt with a big Japanese sun on the back, dancing badly (nothing's changed in the last 29 years then). Was recorded in the basement of the Roundhouse in London on a hot afternoon in August 82. They did 2 live songs (covers) before recording it - Third Uncle & Rose Garden Funeral of Sores. Fun day,

Before I saw them I thought that it was David Bowie's voice. Peter Murphy does this song well. Love it.

I gotta say this a week ago I was originally looking youtube for a Live Bowie original performance of this song but couldn't find it so I stumbled upon Bauhaus never heard of before. To make a long story short I got hooked on the style of music and lyrics, went out and bought a Peter Murphy CD - Ninth (last time I bought a CD in over 10 years) and ordered Go Away White album online should be here next week! I wish I would of knew of their appearances in Pittsburgh this past decade... *sigh*:/

I wish I had been around back in the days of Bauhaus. I love their music, and you just don't find the same these days. I did get to see them live in 2006, though, and that was freakin amazing.

I remmber bumping into Pete once around this kinda time on Albany Street (near Gt Portland St) & it was a jaw dropping moment for my friend & I. It was when I worked @The Batcave (so very pre/early goth movement). My friend & I (who found fame with another band) were jumping up & down hitting 1 another tp make sure we'd just walked past Mister Murphy/Maxell ad (LOL-you have to be a certain age to get the reference) we couldn't believe it. Oh those were the glory days/daze. Thanks for sharing x

Peter Murphy looks like the sex in this, and so does the guitarist in the net shirt.
When the heck will the androgynous/dandy/ambiguous musician/artist thing come back into style dude? Am I gonna have to wait until my whole head is gray and then find some guy in his 20s or 30s, -fifty years from now when this all comes back into style again-, who I'll let use me for my money??!!

@jrmetmoi Now then DERP are you seriously so out of touch you don't recognise the herp/derp meme? And i bothered to shut up you because someone needs to tell you that the 80's androgynous gay scene is long dead and gone. Now's the era of dubstep, get used to it love.

@Thecuregalore94 I believe you are horribly misinformed. Dubstep is nothing but a bunch of 3 year olds who got into daddy's sample collection and now think they can make beats. Fucking pathetic and everybody that likes it is a tasteless asshole. Drum and Bass has been her for years (since before either of us were born) and is still ripping it up on a nightly basis. When you've had enough of being a retard, google concord dawn and .
listen to some real artists at work.

@Thecuregalore94 how aut youbo go somewhere else trollfag, maybe go out from under your bridge and stop hiding behind your computer to make yourself seem all big. Yes dubstep sometimes good, but when it gets publicised by someone like you, it takes a big fall. Maybe you should take break and listen to something that's not made on a synthesizer =P

@TranquilisedMorgan HERP DE DERP. Allow me to tell you my favourite bands: The Cure, Joy Division, The Smiths, The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel. Now then DERP, let's check if there's a synthesiser in any music by The Smiths, The Black Dahlia Murder or Whitechapel...Oh I see, NONE. Because the fact of it is...Synth was fun in 1983...For me it's either dubstep or death metal.
Thecuregalore94 8 months ago
@Thecuregalore94 In other words, for you it's either crap or shite.
ladycplum 8 months ago
@ladycplum Wrong. In actual words, dubstep is the soothing beat of computer-enhanced wobbles, sometimes infused with a sample from a film/television show, along with perhaps the back track of a trance mix or even a grime/rap piece. As for the death metal, a series of challenging arpeggios, raw, visceral vocals, drumming of intense rhythmic demand, a throbbing bass alternately plucked at high speed and the possible use of a breakdown, although these are more commonplace within deathcore pieces.
