klaus Nomi - Total Eclipse

[rbailey1able]

I love Klaus!!! I was turned on to him by a friend while living in Nasvhille. He has been the manager of CBGB in NY when Klaus was performing in clubs there. If only Klaus had lived and not taken by AIDS. Lord bless and may he rest in peace!

[MB7electronic]

I'm so glad I wasn't aware of this back in the 80s. It's all right now. I can enjoy it. But I was so depressed back then, this probably would've sent me right over the edge.

[landshark80]

He didn't fail. If we wake up to his legacy now, we still have a chance!! :)

[unamacarana]

Wow!

[TLACATECUHTLI88]

THE LYRICS ARE LIKE A DEATH METAL SONG, HE HE HE...

[ttoe]

This might be the whitest thing I've ever seen.

[Annamandabella]

@ttoe Reverse racism. Though HILARIOUSLY true! Sorry Valerian but this guy makes Gary Numan look like some fifties trick or treater!! This sounds like The Cars but better.

[Sebbe4Evr]

240p We meet again!

[12bar88]

R.IP. Klaus. You'r as free as a bird

[tedzodd]

I SURVIVE!

[astanapane17]

frikin gay

[chimenitos]

Lady Gaga eat your heart out!!!!

[syngar99]

germans gave us goths, nazi and this guy.

I think that says it all

[ventrebleu]

@syngar99 Well, i'm french ( just to let you know that's not a nationalist reply ) - but i think you forget a few lesser details like Gunteberg, Goethe, Leibniz, Kant, Marx, , Hegel or Einstein for example. I think that says it all.

[syngar99]

@ventrebleu yeah, when they fuck u it overshadows anything good they MIGHT have done.

for the record, marx was NOT a good accomplishment, and Einstein would have been executed by his fellow germans, so good job there.

[DerFuhrerfurimmer]

@syngar99 And one time you spilled the milk and your mommy got mad, which in your idea means everything else is overshadowed by you negative actions. You have a really flawed view of the world. Nazi's saved the world, yep, they saved the fucking world. World War II saved the global economy. Now shut your shit dumb fuck. Learn to capitalize and type out simple words like "you" before you argue.

[syngar99]

@DerFuhrerfurimmer LOL! are you calling nazism the same thing as spilling milk?!

[ihatecapitalistpigsX]

Damn, if only he lived a bit longer and made some more albums. The music world might have been that much more awesome :( We miss you Klaus, and love you!

[nightmarerbp]

He didn't die he just returned to his galaxy

[clintontt]

@nightmarerbp LOL nice call man

[27POP27]

no description available

[Videogenius7]

He didn't fail humanity, humanity failed him! :(

[Silverwolf352]

DAM

[CroixAllard]

he first came to earth to save it, but left too soon, and now he will come back when the time is right again. he hasn't failed just yet. you've just given up on him. Klaus will come back one day, in one way or form :'(

[werandomnize]

@CroixAllard Messiah-complex?

[MorpheusWasRight]

i heard he was the first celebrity to die from AIDS? if it was n't created in a lab why 1983? and not more cases many years before

[Hypotetiske]

@MorpheusWasRight Celebrities make up a small proportion of the overall population (say < 0.001%). Thus, although the number of deaths per x number of people is the same, it is very unlikely that person will be a celebrity. Also have to take into account the low prevalence at that time. And anyway, I fail to understand how, even if it was created in a lab, this would lead to less cases? In both cases the pathogen is transmitted in the same manner and spreads at the same rate.

[muzzikka]

Love it!

[jaejunie]

if he lived for another 30 years he would've been rocking on the mtv damn

[TheBakerFilms]

Gad i love dis song

[zurdoflippah]

A true original genius.  Gaga eat your heart out.

[Bengbusen]

@player13091980 He is dead

[player13091980]

@Bengbusen Gosh, that's a relief

[absintheangel777]

Gaga is definitely a student of Nomi/Bowie. But I believe she is brilliant in her own right. At least she has the brains to carry on the greatness of glam performance!

I miss you Klaus!

[tonyarzentabigguns]

my psychoanalyst says that he spoofs Hitler. I disagree but who knows psychoanalysts might be right

[TheSteveWR]

The description is very true 

[stelth90]

,I love Klaus and his strange operatic Voice with the 80's music...but I always wondered was he very popular in the 80's? I mean Were people ready for Opera mixed with the Synthesizers and guitars?

[DickValentine87]

9 people are outside turning into french fries

[DickValentine87]

@Supermassively You sound supermassively autistic

[Supermassively]

@DickValentine87 Then I guess we should be relieved you're not a pediatric psychologist. Misdiagnoses galore.

You are supermassively moronic, and that's simply a fact.

[DickValentine87]

@Supermassively ha I am actually in med school, but not going the psychologist route. If I did, I'd have to listen to puny people like yourself. I'm sorry you get bullied and take it out on youtube. Move along child

[Supermassively]

@DickValentine87 Med School? HAHAHAHA! Right, I believe you... you're in Med School, but you have time to spam YouTube with that unfunny, unoriginal retarded "Dislike Bar joke" bullshit like every other preteen faggot on this website.

I'm actually Bill Gates! And I have three supermodel wives and a Bugatti Veyron! Ahh, how easy it is to lie on the internet. Basement troll.

[DickValentine87]

@Supermassively I'm actually reviewing NSAIDs as you bicker. You are correct in my time being limited thus I'll end this quarrel....you used the word basement troll.lol...I'll assume you're considered an online gamer and you enjoy several weekend onesomes. cheer up and step away from the computer

[Supermassively]

@DickValentine87 Gamer? No. "Basement troll" is just a general term for someone like you. It has nothing to do with games.

[JanetStarChild]

@Supermassively

Just shut up, you homophobic jackass. I just started following the argument betwen you two, and clearly you're the idiot who has alot of evolving to do.

Stop it. Stop making a fool of yourself.

[777pants777]

@JanetStarChild Homophobic? Really? Where in his posts is he being homophobic? I just read the argument too and it looks like he was putting some stupid jackass kid in his place.

You are the one that has made a fool of yourself.

[JanetStarChild]

@777pants777

Dude, you clearly haven't paid attention to the bickering if you missed out the times that souless jerkwad said "faggot", which is a very offensive gay slur.

And considering that our beloved Klaus Nomi is homosexual, Supermassively has no right to post his anti-gay vocabulary here.

[M12Gremlin]

@3stanthony I assume it's because you're prejudiced.

[3stanthony]

Why am I not surprised that this"man" died of AIDS?

[ManinaNew]

μοναδικο, απλα μοναδικο....

[methlamamba]

Hmm

[karluncho]

Lady Who?



[Nekronn]

YOU RETARDS STOP SAYING "LADY GAGA" IN E.V.E.R.Y VIDEO ON OYUTUBE !! YOU IDIOTS ! JUST STOP IT !

[mobo410]

@Nekronn THANK YOU!!

[gotztago]

In this way, Batman convinces Klaus to find a way to reverse the countdown. It turns out that he must crash his helicopter into the building which houses the device and thereby destroy it. Batman tries to get Klaus to find a better way, but Klaus cannot be persuaded. He crashes the helicopter into the building, and Batman jumps off and glides away at the last second. Robin, having finished off the Penguin's goons, looks up at the explosion caused, and echoing a few lines from the last song,

[gotztago]

Batman has to quickly incapacitate the Penguin. Robin, who arrived late to the fight because he had to calm down the crowd, ties up the Penguin while Batman uses his grappling hook to latch on to Klaus's helicopter. They then have a fight on the helicopter, while Robin, who is still on the rooftop, fights some of the Penguin's goons. Klaus accidentally activates the device's countdown, and in a tender but out of character musical number, Batman sings about what is worth keeping in the world.

[gotztago]

This is like a scene from some sort of Batman musical, right before the climax. At the end of this scene, Batman jumps in through the roof, and Klaus threatens to set off the doomsday machine and blow up the earth. The audience soon realizes that Klaus was really singing his plan, and starts to panic. Klaus escapes among the confusion, and Batman follows him up onto the roof, where he finds Klaus and the Penguin waiting for him (They are a team because they like tuxedos.) Klaus escapes, and then

[VireoIbis]

He failed? At what?

[ansokagi]

@VireoIbis At saving the planet, I guess.

[grovermatic]

Was watching this hoping for something to make fun of, but I seriously have to give props to his soprano skills.

[bizchazlien]

This man was so incredible and left the Earth much too early! thank you Klaus for your incredible music, creativity and imagery! :) Rest in peace .

[justfanofmyself]

this man is just a genius

[etmoi12]

[parafleet]

Was this man an homosexual.

[mskillzeee]

@parafleet Does it matter if he was or was not? The answer to that question is no. It doesn't matter.

[parafleet]

@mskillzeee I don't care. I don't know how that got up there.

[MrLongboarder94]

@parafleet why would it matter

[parafleet]

@MrLongboarder94 I am interested in the answer. Just because I am a human and curious.

[diazepam30]

WONDERFUL, AMAZING , AND SO TALENT, HE HAD A GREAT VOICE AND PERFORMANCE, UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED.....

[kromed488]

I remember the first time I saw this on Urrrggghh...A Music War!! on HBO, I was 9 years old but I was completely appalled by this wonderful man. I'm now 21 and I know his whole history like the back of my hand and he STILL won't stop amazing me. R.I.P Klaus Nomi :'-)

[VidKidNYC]

Thank you Klaus for being you.

[markx64]

If he would have just kept the dicks out of his ass, he would still be here making songs and crazy outfits.

[daypeshmodd]

@markx64 What kind of crude homophobic comment is that?

[ihatestupidsignups]

Failed? WTF are you smoking? He never FAILED, he died of AIDS!

His far to short career is still remembered after thirty years! How well remembered will YOU be 30 years after you die?

[lordpatthethird]

@ihatestupidsignups

I know i will

[Zophisu]

O.O wonderful!!!

[jackdelawack]

Thanks for posting,always a pleasure to see/hear Klaus I was blessed to having seen him several times here in NYC.

[FabianBizarre]

2:54-2:57 nice dancing, seriously XDD.

[stematfisnyc]

Back in the day I had some friends invite me to the Ritz in the East Village. (Thank you Eva and Carol) That night Klaus performed and I was stunned. Klaus was striking in every way.

[catrocks2001]

He sounds like a woman somtimes....XD

[Sicvicious]

@catrocks2001 it's called Countertenor, I can sing like him :)

[catrocks2001]

@Sicvicious O.O.....YOUR ONE OF THEM!!!! NOOOOOOO!!! lol

[newwaveknight1]

@Sicvicious I'm a baritenor, and I'm jealous of you freakin' countertenors.

[ahamatmabrahman]

@newwaveknight1 You could always go one better and be a castrato Sorry couldnt resist that Joke .ouch Anyway fabulous to hear Klaus again thanks to technology and the kind person who posted this

[newwaveknight1]

@ahamatmabrahman I agree. Klaus is the shit!

[lordpatthethird]

@ahamatmabrahman

JUST A SNIP BETWEEN THE HIPS AND YOUR DOOOOOOOOO-O-O-O-ONE

[ahamatmabrahman]

@lordpatthethird I just love Klaus and listen to him every day Wish he was still with us Lady Gaga eat your heart out

[broandsis1716]

he had a great voice and i think i speak for all of us when i say the earth failed him

[Fantasia1001]

This is a great song---hands-down a million times better than the crap on the radio today...

His range is absolutely amazing!!! :)

[PHILLIPBOZARTH]

the Earth was not worthy of Gifts and He will be forever missed

[VonTalavang]

No se por que pusiste que fallo

eres estupido o que ?

murio joven y fue un artista excelente

[VonTalavang]

live is best than the studio

[CowboyClucky]

Unlike stupid hipsters, people that listen to Klaus Nomi don't do so to defy modern culture they do so because they actually like his music and act. Save Nomi's legacy and please don't let the hipsters know about him or else they'll probably listen to him to feel superior to so-called "normal people" whom they are actually more alke than they realize....

[yellowcougar18]

The poor guy died, but that does not count as failing.

I think the fact he died alone, not because of who he was, or of his own choosing, but because he had AIDS, and nobody knew much about the disease then, either how it is caught, how it was transferred or where it came from. Many people, sadly died alone, without even a simple handshake, because people taught it was like a fatal headcold.

[taklamakan12]

he is god!!!!!!!!!!

[Organiste06]

Can't stop listening to his songs again and again... My whole family is getting mad!

[cynthiachristian2]

yeah i dont understand why it says he failed

he won the heart of many, and i believe thats all he ever wanted!

[Organiste06]

What does the woman say at the beginning ?

[Serp1313]

@Organiste06 "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Ritz."

[Organiste06]

@Serp1313 Thanks =)

[throbule]

Unique, brilliant, original, talented, warm, beautiful and simply the total performer!

That was Klaus at his very best - he left us in a void that only he could fill with that extraordinary voice, image and passion!

There is no chance that he will ever fail to be remembered with love for many, many years to come.

R.I.P. Klaus - you were the Angel of the opposite.

[Babby3004]

Geniale!

[nerdfilms1]
