I didn't know Daniel, but went to school with his Brother, who was regularly telling me about his brother's band. Apparently the name of the band was suggested to them by the Art teacher at our school.

It always thought that it took a lot of balls to do Ziggy Stardust as it's so identified with Bowie. I hope it made him very proud that they did it so damn well.
Fun fact! The band Bauhaus was on the set of the 83 film the Hunger and where performing as part of a scene, bowie, one of the stars, was also on set, and walked in on them practicing by playing Ziggy stardust. Bowie was so impressed he called his lawyer to hand them the rights to cover this song on the spot! Also, If you haven't seen the hunger, that movie is fucked up. Highly recommend if a erotic horror movie staring david bowie as a vampire is smth your interested in.
@@rhichan it absolutely would not be safe to assume that, at all. It is a carbon copy, done badly, of a live version from 1972. This is a horrid thing to have to listen to, if one has ears that is. Edit … This is a cheap effort to capture the essence of the original which was done, live, a decade before. Listen to the Bowie live performance if think this is acceptable. The phrasing, everything … even the breathing is copied. Maybe you’re not aware of this and am giving you the benefit of the doubt
@SuperLisalis Well, most gothic rock bands were influenced by Iggy Pop's The Idiot, produced by Bowie. As well as The Velvet Underground, Can, Neu, Kraftwerk and other bands.
Just what I was going to say, nobody else could have done this cover and no one else other than Peter Murphy makes me feel the same as Bowie does. I was born waaay too late to have been there first time around and now my middle aged heart can’t deal… so I make myself feel better watching videos like this and admiring the beauty 🖤🖤
Saw Peter Murphy live in the 90's; he did this song as an encore. I was in love. Check out the movie, "The Hunger", starring Bowie: at the beginning of the film, Bauhaus opened the film with a kick-ass rendition of "Bela Lugosi's Dead,". In a cage!
Early Happy birthday to you and I can partly agree but in my opinion the Neuer Deutsche Welle and english punk era (1976 until 1982) are the best years for music i mean a lot of styles came forth from punk! (sorry for my bad grammar I live in the Netherlands and my native language is indonesian so I'm not the greatest at English grammar)
BRING BACK THE 80s MUSIC AND FASHION!! Bowie admitted that he wished he had made it like this - or something like that. One of the best remakes of any song ever... Well Done!
Peter is in the top 5 of my 10 most gorgeous men list. Everyone wants to talk about his cheekbones ( which are lovely) but those indigo eyes are amazing 😜
@@Ottrond I disagree. This song sounds much rawer, more like a rock band jamming out and a singer crying out in anguish during the chorus while acting like an ungrateful brat in the verses. David Bowie's version has the band sounding a bit too polished, with David Bowie's vocals placed a bit too high in the mix. TL:DR - David Bowie's version sounds too polished, this version sounds rawer and feels like it has more 'teeth'.
@@mystymysty3667 What I heard back when it was made was that people had been comparing Murphy's voice to Bowie's, so he made this cover. What is for dead certain is that a couple years after this was done, Bowie picked their song, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" for the opening credits of his movie, "The Hunger". He most certainly wouldn't have done that if he was put off in any way by this cover.
@@HariSeldon913 well, Bela Legosi WAS the perfect pick for that movie. That opening scene was AMAZING! Peter was HEAVILY influenced by Bowie. But then, who wasnt?
I'll never prefer a cover over an original, not when it comes to Bowie. he wrote these songs, came from his head, his creativity and emotional unconscious from the writing to the delivery of the message. However I loved this cover, more than nirvana's one.
@@OprichnikStyle I don't need no one to care, it's a expression of a opinion, and my opinion is that this is a fucking great cover. If u like or not my opinion , I doesn't care either
A cover of a Bowie song, about a character partially inspired by Iggy Pop (as well as Lou Reed), done by a band whose vocalist sounds heavily influenced by Iggy Pop. Makes perfect sense and closes a circle.
Very 1st time I heard it just thought it was a live version. I had heard of Bauhaus but was more familiar with Love and Rockets at the time. The did a fine job with Ball Of Confusion. Without cheating think was a Temptations song released before I was born in 1969.
Bauhaus proves: in Rock & Roll absolutely anything is possible. Even the impossible: their cover for "Ziggy Stardust" is way BETTER than the original. Stronger. Intense. Passionate. And the funniest thing is: Peter Murphy can be a better David Bowie "rock persona" than HIMSELF. The Vampire Sucked His Blood Until The Last Drop. INCREDIBLE!
Phew! I was 20 at the time and hanging out Exit in Chicago and other clubs dressed like this😆I’m still holding up really well, still work out, run, don’t smoke nor do drugs. Don’t take any old people meds. Rarely drink and in better shape then most 30 yr. olds and Survived the 80’s🙌🏼Rock on!
I prefer this version to Bowies any day of the week. Love Bauhaus I still play their music in 2024, loved all the goth bands from the 80s like: Sisters Of Mercy, The Mission, Specimen, Alien Sex Fiend, The Cult, The Cure, Siouxsie And The Banshees, all class.
Bowie was known for his extremely considerate manners. He was always far too polite to _ever_ snub a sincere tribute. So I'd imagine that when he said that, inside he was thinking more like: "I wish this is how it had been mixed and mastered, mate. There, I said something nice! 'Never don't be nice when you're being quoted for all bloody eternity'-that's what me mum taught me!" (Yes, Bowie's thoughts frequently had exclamation points.)
I for one absolutely love Bauhaus!!! I was just 14 when I heard em, n met the band. I ve not fallen out of love with the band (or any of the bands, Love And Rockets, Tone On Tail, The Jazz Butchers, or solo artists) They r legend.
+Debbie Dodson The thing that strikes me most about this video is the youthfulness of the fans as they enter the underground catacombs most were probably teenagers at the time.Within the blink of a eye they are now all middle aged (in their 50's, probably having had teenagers of their own, some who looked exactly the same as they once did). Time is cruel, in the video the fans look so young and contemporary as they walk in, slim with supple skin, jeans and dreams of the future. I can just imagine those who appear in the first few shots now yearning for the past and envying their youthful looks. Let this be a warning to all teenagers, enjoy it, cos it aint going to last! Remarkable how most wouldnt be out of place at a modern rock gig equivalent and this was 33 years ago. If you were to take teenagers from 33 years before 1982 (1949) and place them at a 1982 gig no one would fit in in terms of clothes and hairstyles. Just shows you how ubiquitous the goth look became after these people and still remains as a youth movement look with variations. We have the Teddy boys to blame for all of this, the first youth movement with their own particular look, clothes and style and also associated with a particular type of music, followed by the MoDs and Rockers, hippies, Punks etc etc.

Possibly the best Bowie cover of all time. Nirvana's Man Who Sold The World a close second.
If you ever heard a song Shiny from Moana OST by Jemaine Clement.. Nirvana will be the third.. 🤣
definetly the best its a shame so many covers are so awful
Midge Ure - Man Who Sold The World is the best version of the song.

My god this guy CAN sing. I grew up listening to Bowie, but I love this version. David would be stoked.
How on gods green do you know *David would be stoked*? He had plenty of time to share his opinion on ... this but he never did.
