Warm Leatherette.

[PatrickLAValleyGuy]

They should have an Apartment Concert in my place! I'm so jealous!

[TheAngryMrBob]

Great cover of a great song! Thanks for posting.

[antiguoautomata]

wow !

[assenavlp]

As much as I love Peter, I need to go and listen to The Normal 10 times over to get this out of my head.

[PatrickLAValleyGuy]

@assenavlp this is better..ur a moron!

[anastasiaFranzigirl]

coool!!

[KaliYuggoth]

Best cover EVER. Peter's voice is just so very indescribably cool.

[peoplepower75]

Holy fuck man where can i get a copy of this?...Brilliance.....im off to buy a gimp suit!!

[HarryUpHarry]

I can feel this song

[howardsacks]

Beats absolutely EVERY cover I've heard of this song. A brilliant description of sex and death expressed in such an erotic manner (has to be heard with head phones for a full appreciation). No one but NIN could do that. This is divinty incarnate.

[martymar1964]

They need to release this as a single!

[TheHealer777]

When did NIN make the cover of this song? Like, the year they decided to make the song in studio?

[JohnnyMacOne]

Fairly true to The Normal's original but the best version of all time is by Grace Jones

[CABLEMANAGER]

Better than the original

[holdenc96]

Is this like a private show in someone's room? What's the context of this?

[cdoftx]

lol, guess this is what these guys do when they're not working at Subway

[irvirv3]

@cdoftx ummm Blimpie Boy these "working at Subway" guys are/were part of Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson,etc. No pickles on the sandwich ok?

[jose30076]

@cdoftx

this was a live recording at a radio station, not someone's living room.

[im4everskilled]

He got the lyrics written down infront of him? XD

[peteagassi]

way better than the original. Trent is a genius.

[Narcissiaxx]

Listen to Sleepwalk, by Ultravox, I have recently notices some cool similarities between the two songs,especially this version of Warm Leatherette, beat wise and all.

[bosunbilly]

That's because drum machines were pretty limited back then.

[4thReaktor]

Magnificent.

[UnShattered83]

this is gold on a stick, cant wait to see peter muprhy sunday july 19th 2009

[thekilo23]

this is what is so wonderful about YOU-TUBE,  you can , quite by chance , stumble upon absolute 100% pure gold like this

[beatpunk9]

nice cover, but too much emotion in the vocals. The Normal's version was better because the vocal was dead cold.

[xkissax13]

that song, that book, those bands changed my life, I absolutely love this! hands down

[NoSemos]

the synthtz sound good

[Pamberjack]

Not a patch on the original...

[AliasUndercover]

This is about the best thing I've ever heard on YouTube.

[HarryUpHarry]

Few peoples / bands could do this justice and here's one of them doing it LOUD

[xxashyy]

This version sounds more Throbbing Gristle than NIN.

[Kieraganion]

Actually it originally done by a band called The Normal. Released in 1978.

[xtigerxbombx]

has a good beat, not feeling the vocals though

[tehgoliaht]

totally better than the original ; o

lol

Trent ftw.

[abject]

love this cover

[EZaccessBTV]

I like all the parties involved, but the song was too repetitious in the first place for this cover to be very interesting... disappointing they didn't pick something else.

[lilashioyo]

jeeze..almost better than the original

[niswel]

Impressive!!!!! Wow!

[mutepg58]

did daniel proud, great crew for this particular cover.

[studz123]

wow just how good was that ....6stars

[xxxswoodyxxx]

killing

[detachments]

is a warmer more human vsn than the untouchable original.

[darukhan]

Amazinng cover of an incredible classic!

[Ariessun13]

groovy, reminds me a night spent with Rob and Pandora......

[misternylon]

Peter Murphy is awesome... seen him do a cover of transmission by joy division.. he's the only man with the real class and talent to be allowed to cover curtis.

This version of warm leatherette is well worth seeking out, is it available anywhere??

[forcepsgeist]

absolutely brilliant

[ninentity]

This just kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!

[JerzeeDevilcom]

linked to m1 by The Mighty JD

[Moerphium]

Sooo in love!

[MorganScorpion]

Excellent!  Totally one of the best cover versions of any song ever. True to the spirit of the original, but different enough to make it worth while listening to.

[metamatics]

very good cover.

[anTONYM2M2]

oh my god....how brilliant was that....the vocal was defiantly there, and for a live cover, that was tops !!

[tankred0]

where are the fucking chicks? i want them. this is not bad, but de chicks could do better

[GChaffe]

F*cking super!

[Sarahlynnland]

This might just beat the remake by Boyd Rice and Giddle Partridge... Didn't think it was possible. My friends are more annoyed the more they listen to this song... I just love it a little more every time.

[jandyrainbow]

Sexy

[cookie659]

God damn! Great remake of that track!

[Hako1210]

Trent cant do wrong!!

[nelsonblunts]

shit, i love that

[RIPEMOTIONALHARDCORE]

yer this is nice.. but still wat prefer the original

^_^

[robbkit]

cthulhuchan - this song was originally done by The Normal (see TVOD on YouTube).

Pete Murphy was lead singer of Bauhaus - UK ubergoths of the 80's

[BlackProteus]

This fuckin' cooks.

[cthulhuchan]

lol "who's peter murphy?" :)

This is an awesome cover.

Murphy's voice is still going strong. He seems to be aging well, too. I wonder if Trent ever thought he'd be recording with Peter Murphy back when he was a kid just getting into making his own music..

[bitchthebob]

so, is that the new nine inch nails or what? where can i get the mp3s of this thing? is there a key name or sth?

[Ric33333]

T.V.O.D !!!

[lelliesandremains]

i suprisingly like this. It reminds me of Peter's recall album he did with KMFDM.

[mullystyle12]

i have to give kudos to murphy with his unique and funky style...but i would prefer trent on vocals....basically trent should do it all...nothin against murphy its just trent is amazing

[lelliesandremains]

peter murphy is more important to music and more amazing than trent will ever be.

[waverp]

who's peter murphy?

[lelliesandremains]

are you serious?

goth wouldnt exist without peter murphy

[fm37212]

LOL

[seabass242]

I disagree. While Bauhaus was unquestionably revolutionary, they weren't all that good. Nothing Peter Murphy done has ever been all that great. When I think of great Goth rock / Industrial I think of Skinny Puppy, not Peter Murphy. Reznor has put his hand in alot of things, and they all come out pretty damn good. I dont think there is a single Peter Murphy project as good as the Downward Spiral.

And other members of Bauhaus were even succesful without Peter Murphy

[kiddiefuck]

Don't dare give Mr. Murphy critique, he was indeed a brilliant man, and Bauhaus is - as we all know - the godfathers of goth/batcave/post-punk or whichever cathegory you prefer to refer to. Skinny Puppy is industiral, which isn't even the same genré as Bauhaus. Reznor is brilliant, but his works are mostly industrial rock. How can you ever say anything bad about a band that has inspired both Reznor, and other great artist alongsides him.

[gpwitme]

Jim Thirlwell is the godfather. Not Murphy. Sorry, but its the truth.

[SSJ2D2]

Murphy=goth, Thirlwell=industrial

[maestrocma13]

Peter Murphy WAS Bauhaus lead singer, so how does this make any sense? I grew up listening to all that music when it came out... in the late 70's, most people have no clue how underground it was at that time

[SSJ2D2]

hehehe...

[SSJ2D2]

I agree. Gothic music has always been extremely reverent of its roots, because there will never be goth bands quite as good as Bauhaus and some of the bands from the same era. Industrial was an entirely different musical movement that crossed over with goth in the early/mid eighties. Peter and Trent are both brilliant artists, but quite frankly, their genres are entirely different.

[cthulufunk]

This song has been covered by alot of artists, from Pankow to Grace Jones, but this is by far the best of the bunch.

[laedendi]

Well, it sounds fucking awesome!

[cloonmore]

the original was funkier

[Drackota]

yes THE NORMAL orignaly played this song

[jnk6980]

Wow does jeordie look stoned and old as hell.

[ModeMan101]

Go Daniel Miller!!!! :)

[NickCato]

This is absolutely incredible. Murphy's voice makes the tune even better.

[zeelog1]

Nice to know that NIN uses a KAOSS pad too.

[bluemulekicksass]

Mother of fucking god!! My friend loves the original and then subsequently found this version. Holy shit - are you kidding me? Pete Murphy and NIN? I must have a version to buy - please someone - put one out!!

Applause. What a jam session. I would have cut my arm off - with a dull blade - to have been at that session . . .

[AOCRkid]

limewire?>

[tomkowo]

Cool...respect...but far away from the origial

[grtwhtbnr]

this songs an old classic!!!

[Tyffin]

I want these guys to play my next birthday party...LOL!!

[Silentdreamer80]

Very cool song, but I can't stand Peter's voice. He sounds like a vampire. He should be playing Lestat on Broadway.

[mfnickster]

I didn't know vampires had a sound all their own. Aren't they supposed to go "blah, blah"?

[lelliesandremains]

bela lugosi's dead. undead undead.

[Discooovery]

GRACE JONES!!!

[AOCRkid]

and the normal

[Midou75]

I think it's a cover from a and called THE NORMAL, not Grace Jones.

[GJone66]

yep, The Normal originally recorded it; Grace Jones did a cover of it on an album of the same title

[amanda12zeis]

wow! I've never known of someone who watched the Gilmore Girls!

[VulcanBikeWizard]

The original song was so sick and twisted it's hard to capture the true essence but these guys did a great job.

[AOCRkid]

true. you'd have to have that dead stale voice. not dracula.lol murphy is awesome though

[stx]

Worst. Cover. Ever.

[brian9999]

Also, Worst Singer EVER.

[dantucker]

Ever? (see also response to clever-stx)

[dantucker]

Worst.Cover.Of.Warm.Leatherett­e.or.worst.cover.of.any.song.(­ever).,you.punctuation.alliter­arse?

[alexnordh]

Theres a film based on this song. People getting off watching crash test dummies getting smashed

[dantucker]

Expect it's choreographed by Volvo or Saab ;-) Probably based on the culture of the book that this song was based on.

[MoonVamp]

Dont listen to fuelpants

This is awesome thankls for posting this Manifestively.

Nine Inch Nails rocks!

[beat76]

Freakin' great!

[fuelpants]

Man this sucks ass. And why is the dude from the Gilmore Girls playing keyboards in the background?

[dantucker]

Because he likes the feel of hand breaks in the morning!

[dantucker]

What happened to my respsonse to fuelpants earlier this year? (1) it doesn't "suck ass"; and (2) maybe he likes the feel of handbreaks in the morning!

[AOCRkid]

awwwwwwwwwfuckyou

[dantucker]

Manifestively wonderful! What a great take! Thanx for publishing.
