Klaus Nomi on NYC 10 O'Clock News

[Fruchtzwerg3006]

He was the best.. I miss him... . <3

[Cockoblock]

hey it's the guy from ORGY!

[Lcaspia]

Wow, he looks so healthy still. :( If the 'Avant Garde' 'sat up and took notice,' it was because they found something great in their midst, not because they found something more 'out there.' Holy Scheiss. How do these people listen to themselves.

[WillShakespeare2007]

Fantastic listened to him a lot in the 80's and had no idea he was dead.

[bobbygnosis]

KlausmufukinNOMI, son!

[kromed488]

I'd so marry Klaus if he were alive. He was such a beautiful man. R.I.P Klaus Nomi, P.S. I love you :-)

[misSOSlaw93]

is anyone know where i can see a claus naomi song documentary movie ?

[trylonperisphere]

@misSOSlaw93 You can watch The Nomi Song on the snagfilms web site (youtube won't let me put in the link here)

[trylonperisphere]

@misSOSlaw93 You can watch The Nomi Song on snagfilms

[slimyboyDaveshow]

@misSOSlaw93 There is a documentary called "The Nomi Song"

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

The future is now! Yeah!

[Threetails]

His life was the stuff of operas. A bizarre but sweet persona, a huge amount of vision, and a career on the brink of going sensational. And yet he was probably dying even as his career began to take off.

[amapunker76]

TO BAD HE DIDENT MAKE IT TO 1984,HE WAS SO AWESOME AND DIFFRENT! Check out her late 70s look!!!

[dearmalika]

What a fantastic voice!

[TheLamelyNamed]

Wow, he is a pioneer of many performance style.

The techno opera, the man in elaborate set pieces and the trademark makeup.

Marilyn Manson copied so much from him.

[Bogframe]

@TheLamelyNamed Marilyn Manson is what would have resulted from a union between Klaus Nomi and Alice Cooper, but he's not as talented as either.

[GR8TM4N]

@TheLamelyNamed And Lady Gaga, i guess. I mean, just look at her. She seems like a cheap imitation of this brilliant artist.

Then again, who and what isn't looking like that today? God, i miss the 80s.

[DeLaPiel]

this is brilliant, thanks for posting!

[GretaBowie]

Beside it very pleasing voice) Nor when earlier did not hear his voice during talk.

[crasichineseboi]

1984 only a few short years away....uh?

[trylonperisphere]

Yes, do you have some question about that? 1984 was a 1948 novel by George Orwell and was considered by most to be a warning about life in the future. Now it's considered an instruction manual by some.

[JeuneFilleaCarnival]

@trylonperisphere that is SO true! What a profound observation that holds a genuinely creepy meaning in it, reflecting the state of this world as we know it in 2010!

[iLoveChocolateMilk00]

i love the lips of the reporter, shes cute

[strangeparty]

fab make-up

[faithandbeauty1]

dadadadadadada.....

[dejahthoris]

I'd like to call it Now Wave. The future is now.

[Hewson60]

He lived at St. Marks Place 103

[rob72]

when was that newsclip broadcatsed?

Could yopu update the info? Cheers.

[trylonperisphere]

Sometime around 1981 is my best guess.

[dearmalika]

Fantastic !He was a great artist!

[nouveauxdecadence]

Does anyone have Klaus' version of "I Feel Love"??? It's bloody AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish there was a time machine, there is NOTHING as innovative as this anymore. Everything is just so processed now. Nothing could ever be as exciting musically and presentation wise ever again. I agree with Klaus, that the future was now!.... Late 70s to mid 80s was THE FUTURE!!!!

[trylonperisphere]

There's a mix of it on YT. Search for "I Feel Love - Donna Summer vs. Klaus Nomi - in the mix"

[Mambo64]

thank you so much for posting this

[peacebone2010]

gahh. he was really good at contouring his face. very nice. :)

[eSeLKah]

yeah, he was gay.

[magstoriches]

aww, i love the manual closing cardboard curtains at the end of his last song.

[TiniNormi]

Come back to us Klaus, I love you ;_;

[vancanman2]

Thank you thank you thank you for this. It's so nice to see an interview with Mr. Nomi. I wish there were more. RIP Klaus.

[theglamkinks]

"1984 is only a few short years away.....John"

[MadFranandfriends]

aaw I love the way he says "I like pastries"

[Lunoki]

What is the song Klaus is performing after the clip of him doing Falling in Love Again?

[trylonperisphere]

It's called "I Feel Love"

[topsalespro]

Wow! This is an amazing clip. Klaus was an absolute musical prodigy! I hadn't realized he achieved the cult status he did as demonstrated by this appearance on Channel 5 News as reported by Judy Licht. Gawd! Does she look so young! I'm so glad he did. I would love it if you told me you have a video of him singing ,"I Feel Love", one of my very favorites. Please tell you do. Please? BTW; What year did this clip appear?

[trylonperisphere]

I think there's a bit more of it in the documentary "The Nomi Song." He died in August '83 and this was a "few short years" before 1984. Probably 1981.

[topsalespro]

Thanks so much for your reply. If you check your latest subscriber list you'll see me as being your latest new addition. Thanks again.

[gunthypunthy]

trippy

[belindaesq]

I was at clubs where he was many times and even saw him perform once. I think I remember him and Joey Arias working at Fiaruccis (is that how you spell it) which was a store uptown that had hip clothes. He was such a personage on the nightclub scene. I was watching the Saturday Night Live when he and Joey sang backup for David Bowie. I jumped up from my chair and said, "Oh my God, Klaus is on TV." I will never forget him.

[Lobotomyu]

I earn more respect for the man by the day.

[Lobotomyu]

Even in rehearsal he dressed out as an oddity?

[trylonperisphere]

Often in character and with full makeup.

[vettae]

He is so sweet and erfrischend und sympathisch and I love his cute German accent :)

He makes me smile and cry at the same time.

I just discovered him and already miss him so much

[tko2600]

Not only was he an incredible artist, but off-stage he comes off as an incredibly humble, down-to-earth person. The world needs more people like Klaus.

[wmbrown6]

The teletype sound heard on this clip over Judy Licht was designated "Teletype Receivers Battery" and came from the Thomas J. Valentino/Major Records sound effects library.

[trylonperisphere]

Where in the clip does this appear?

[wmbrown6]

At the start, in the studio segment, as Ms. Licht was introducing the report.

[SaintSanguine]

that last comment about 1984 is so ironic cuz he died in 1983

[ouija223]

good

[ThreeWishesFairy]

I so totally luuuurve his version of "I Feel Love", all of that version!! Ach, Klaus, wir vermissen Dich sehr.

Thanks trylonperisphere for all the fantastic vids you uploaded, these are all GEMS!!!

[nukleopatra88]

which song is he singing around 1:20?

[trylonperisphere]

It's called "I Feel Love"

[marcbarker]

"1984 is only a short few years away" !!!

[dejahthoris]

thanks

[LeticiaKrupe]

I Love klaus nomi !!!

[mxzptlx1357]

Future is now.

Thank you.

[JeremiahStarling]

Hell yeah.

[Disappearer88]

dang...he died right after this

[trylonperisphere]

He died in August '83 and this was a "few short years" before 1984. Probably 1981.

[morrissey1959]

bless him

[madrevangod]

I clicked on another video and found it is once again from you !?

How do you know so much about him? Is there a book I can buy?

I had heard him but now Ive seen the film and I am enthralled and amazed with him

Can you give me a clue to where I can fimd more about him and his life - before he was known too?

be great if you can

x

[morrissey1959]

i love the clip of, i feel love at 1:09, but i cnt find a full video of it i have the whole song on my ipod tho, please let me no if you find a full , i feel love video.

[trylonperisphere]

OK. I think there's a bit more of it in the documentary "The Nomi Song"

[quanksi]

[trylonperisphere]

Falling In Love Again

[quanksi]

Thanks

[Zoeler]

that Klaus must've been a trip...did anyone notice how his eyes during the stockade part, like a cat's, they reflected back light?

[thebeachboys]

In that interview he is so normal, I like that. =)

[morrissey1959]

well you could say that i guess

he is a lil sweetie

[godstomper]

We need more people like him NOW!
