Leigh's masks, makeup and warped sense of humour remind me of this Australian band called TISM who got pretty popular in the 90s...not sure if he inspired them or not but worth checking out.
Ecch, disgusting and not in a charming way. Leigh Bowery fashion is just a cheap take off of Andy Warhol and John Waters movies. (Without any wit or style that made these men legends.) I'm sorry, I usually like shock/disgust musicians but Leigh Bowery isn't like able at all.
@justnicknet There is, in fact, a difference between merely being influenced by another artist and trying to become that artist. Many artists take what they enjoy or admire in another artist's work and make it there own all the same (Inspiration). But Leigh Bowery is more than just emulating Andy Warhols art, he has stated that "I want to be the Andy Warhol of London."
@justnicknet And he also tries excssively to hard to copy John Waters. Leigh attempts to come up with the sickest and most perverted ideas, but he simply cannot be John Waters, his style is more obnoxious than cringe-worthy or disgusting and he lacks John Waters' sense of humor and outright cleverness. Leigh Bowery proves that pretending to be something you are not will never compete with true personality. Leigh Bowery isn't genuine, which is why he has no actual style or personality.
@justnicknet This is my third reply so far so I'll try to make it short, the others are below. So I am sorry to tear down your hero, and you seem quite pleasant, but honestly Leigh Bowery strikes me as abusive and mean-spirited if anything. No kindness or tenderness (He was excessively abusive towards his wife.) and his ntire show and stage prescence seems to be a large cry for attention and his need to be horrific and disgusting as just an attempt to mentally scar people.
@CowboyClucky "Abusive to his wife"? Seriously, even if you had points with everything else, that line proves how clueless about anything regarding Leigh Bowery you truly are.
@justnicknet Ha ha ha, he actually was abusive towards her but not violently or anything just psychologically but somewhat mildly, nothing mentally scarring, but you didn't comment on anything else I've said, unfortunately. Now, I'm tired of having to come to this video and have to see his face again so please either quit replying to me or continue this discussion by sending me messages directly....
He sad the this would never will came on the radio. One of the DJ's (Gerard Ekdom) in The Netherlands loves this song and plays it many times on the radio, really awesome!!
I cheered at this comment. I was thinking the exact same thing. Leigh lived to shock and amaze. The individuals who post angry comments are giving him exactly what he would have wanted!
Some people seriously lack a sense of humour. This sort of music is not to be taken seriously, but wiv a pinch of salt. Society needs a little bit of scandalous behaviour otherwise we'd have little to talk about other than the weather. It has it's place. So long as it's not a tune you crack out at children's parties.

I`m back. Let me clarify something. I don`t dislike all homosexuals, just those like this. Not all gay`s behave this way. Most conduct themselves with dignity unlike this thing up there. If I was a gay man I still would not like Bowery. I would consider him/it a poor representative. No matter who you are; hetero, homo, bi or whatever, clearly bad taste does not discriminate. This is just horrible.
@moneyboy3333 darling, this has nothing to do with homosexuality, i think its really sad that you cant dress and act these day in any other way than the standard boys does without being flamed as a homosexual...
Yeah, I expected you would not like my comments. Everyone has their own tastes but DAMN. This guy was part of the reason why people despise homosexuals so much. I pretty sure everyone who enjoys Bowery also dresses up like a pervert for that Rocky Horror Picture bullshit. This is where we are as a society? This kind of rubbish? We`re not advancing but degrading. This sexual pervert is dead; that`s good. But sadly, perverts are like the mythical hydra, another one always pops up.
Unfortunately, your sheltered and oppressive mind is (partly) "where we are as a society." Your close-mindedness and fear of non-normative (especially, non-heteronormative) behavior is part of the reason why people despise homosexuals so much. We do not live to to please. We do not have to dress up like Leigh to like him. Biologically and culturally, we are just as "perverted" as you. However, some of us (gay and straight) are not afraid to express our sexual freedom.
"This guy was part of the reason why people despise homosexuals so much"
No, the reason why SOME people hate in this way is because they're small-minded, idiotic, moronic, knuckle-dragging, bigotted, fuckwitted, pigshit-thick tossbags like you. You should be removed from the gene pool so you can't contaminate any more individuals with your hatred.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well now, I would rather be all of those things any day, then someone who tastes men`s genitals with sodomy on the side. I would certainly prefer to stand before the Lord as a moronic idiot than a homosexual.
Your "Lord" says so much in his bible that just is not the truth. Six days to create the world? Try 4 and a half billion years. You believe in fairytale gardens where evil snakes taken over by satan trick a woman made from the rib of a man to eat a magic apple of knowledge, well that is your fault. I see God from fact not some ancient fairytale. Leave those that don't follow your fairytale version of God alone. Are we forcing ourselves upon you? In other words FUCK OFF!
Tired retarded bitches like you need to just EVOLVE! If you don't like then don't look. You won't find me posting some lame comment on some retarded christian video.
