[PurpleBlueHaze]

[petermurphreak]

He can FEED me his BIG/ FAT DICK any day!!!! SLURP!!!!

[clod8]

@petermurphreak you still have a chance

[petermurphreak]

NOT unless I could TURN BACK THE CLOCK to the early Bauhaus days!!!... The OLDER Peter DOESN'T make me HOT he makes me CRINGE!!!....

[natman77]

what was the other ad that featured that piece of music? both of em used to scare the hell out of me when i was young

[giacblanc]

The music is "Night on Bald Mountain" by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. Best known for "Pictures at an Exhibtion".

[spencerpig]

Ah, Peter Murphy's great.

[BabysGotTheRabies]

I'd take this over that fucking Chase commercial any day.

[petermurphreak]

No wonder they put him in a commercial!! Peter looks like a fucking "model" or a "mannequin"!!! Of course having a gorgeous singer is never a "lialibility"...

[christiemalry]

Yep. It's just a pity his band was so shite.

[vanuaturocks]

haha kwl

[Ashimjara]

Peter Murphy from the most excellent Bauhaus

[AOCRkid]

omg patrick bateman!

[sierradelta07]

What a brain workout I've had to find this. Thought it was a BASF ad, then TDK, then remembered the guy was from Bauhaus, then remembered his name was Pete something...

Phew. Anyway well worth the search. Great to see it again.

Thx

[fleamosworth]

Glad to find there's a person as sad as me around. Just spent the entire evening trying to find it to show my daughter who'se about to buy a black and white print called 'Blown Away' which was taken from the ad. We've been through B&O, Sony and allsorts before we established via the net that it was a Maxell tapes ad. I always loved the advert and fancied the bloke big-time - he even gets the thumbs-up from my daughter!

[ACroft13]

This takes me back, thanks for posting. Peter looks hot as always...

[jenniferBG]

iconic they did not show it on tv as often as it should have been

[JSayer]

sorry...don't know why that comment came up twice...Twice as good maybe!  : D

[JSayer]

It's Musorgskys' A Night On The Bare Mountain, if it's not been put up before...which incidentally is being performed at The Proms tonight 26-07-08 and aired on Radio 3 @ 1900hrs tonight. Enjoy!!!

[JSayer]

In case it's not been put on before...It's Musorgsky...A Night On The Bare Mountain...

Which is also being performed at The Proms tonight 26-07-08 and aired on Radio 3 @ 1900hrs in case anyone gets to read this in time and is interested in hearing it! Enjoy!!!

[BettyBlue808]

Peter Murphy orgasmic.

[MGira]

Are you the same nonemorenegative that used to post on BoB?

[PollenB]

eek, I saw Bauhaus play in London Victoria many moons ago.

[MsSardonicSmile]

mmmmm Peter Murphy.

[damusician]

yo i got that same maxell tape

[sho887]

back in the olden days.

[Ursacke]

What is the music used?

[Rumpio]

took a bit of digging but it's Modest Mussorgsky's "A night on the Bald mountain"

[Rumpio]

in fact, more digging reveals that Rimsky-Korsakov "corrected" Mussorgsky's original and it's actually his version, entitled Night on Bare Mountain

[Ursacke]

Thanks!

[bixbysnder]

They just don't make commercials like they used to...

[MercureMadHatter]

Wow, this made my day, thanks !

[Flare68]

Blimey, that takes me back...

[psychicdelic]

Attention casting director of 'Interview with the Vampire': Peter Murphy should have played Lestat. This is so cool.

[3l3ctr0v1d]

Doest that mean Daniel should've played Louis?

[planeshifter1]

No kidding...actually Anne Rice had suggested it at one point...

[liquidsky9]

didn't even know it existed.....thanks!

[homegirrl]

[waterblossom]

Wow! Cool. I wanted to see this. thanks for posting!
