Sometimes in life you run across something that you don’t necessarily like or get, but you can still appreciate that there was genius of some kind behind it. That’s pretty much Klaus Nomi’s entire body of work for me.
I was just thinking about this today. It's always nice to see an entertainer have a style that is so different than everyone else and yet they own it completely.
A big and committed body of work shows earnestness and self reinvention! I also 'don't get it' but know that I saw someone's unique vision brought to life, for good or bad haha
@@CitrusTsunami Exactly! It might be brilliant, it might be crap, but either way it's something unique, not just following the trends and trying to appeal to the broadest market possible.
I was just kinda thinking the same. I doubt his music is something I would just sit and listen to, but I can absolutely appreciate it as a work of art. That mix of bizarre German art with 80s extreme flair just fits so well. 😀
@@donchindle2958 Kluas Nomi had a decent following himself, but they probably found Klaus preformed with David Bowie while researching Bowie. Definitely a easy choice to use his likeness after making that connection no doubt. He's interesting for sure.
@@donchindle2958 Klaus lived as a chef in New York City for some time, and had practiced singing for much longer. I'm not sure of all the details, it just seems that he decided to go on stage one day in 1978, and talent agents heard of it. But I might be a bit wrong on some of these counts.
Yes. The artists from 45 years ago were much more innovative and original. It was such a FUN and interesting and unique time. Especially in NYC. ❤ I think the internet really destroyed music. At least for now…
@@Greatpacificnorthwesterner Not quite. I´m 50 years old, heavy music listener of all kind, type and era, and never *ever* heard of this amazing artist. Until I saw a video of one of my favorite TH-camrs making his bio and loved it so much that I quickly went to search him on this platform. I´ve never ever would´ve found him otherwise. So, in a way, the internet popularized excellent artists like him who are not into massive media. The problem is not the internet. The problem, is the mediocratization of the culture, hence, a reflection of *our own* mediocratization 😉
@@Vaninasanta if you had been into new wave/punk or independent films,etc back then, there would have been a huge probability of hearing or at least knowing about klaus nomi. But it might have just been something that we were exposed to in mostly bigger cities. The internet has many advantages, but it’s definitely cheapened music and decimated music scenes.
Wow blast from the past! I have no idea why my algorithm fed me Klaus Nomi this morning, but I’m here for it. He was one of a kind and way before his time.
This is my favorite version of Lightning Strikes. Klaus Nomi did an extraordinary job singing it and doing this video. The way he sang the chorus is so haunting and captivating. It's fantastic!
I first saw this way back in the late 80s, and I was all, "Huh?" A few years back after being reminded of it, I then found a show interview with him from TV from back in the day, on his native German television I think, and he performed for a few seconds an AMAZING classic operatic passage entirely in that high register of his flawlessly. The host then reminded the audience that they did not use any tricks to change or manipulate the vocals, that that really was the real voice, pointing out that such an operatic vocal was extremely rare in male vocalists. I was extremely impressed. This track, of course, is more tailored as a fun and more mainstream novelty pop song cover, but while he most certainly could sing in a regular register - as you can hear here - his voice positively soars sky high in opera.
Yes, his lips were beautiful. It's ironic that he sings so much in this song about kissable lips. He really was a beautiful man, like some 1920s silent film star. I wish I had a time machine.
I discovered Klaus Nomi a few years ago, and I was immediately impressed by his originality and talent. Then I went looking for more information about him, and I was very sad when I learned that he was one of the first victims of AIDS, and that he died practically alone due to the lack of knowledge that existed at the time about the syndrome. 😢
He still had friends visiting him before his death in the hospital. But at the same time, people then still didn't know what to think about AIDS, so the visitors were wearing some sort of biohazard suits. How extensive the suit was, I'm not sure. I heard this from, I forget his name, but he was one of Klaus' friends who visited him (he made a YT vid about it.)
Forgotten?? First ever heard of him.. tho I'm from Australia, not that weird place known as Europe 😅 Not knocking Europe, love ya, just sadly we've been a bit too over-saturated with Murican crap. Oh, and assuming he started in Europe.. the name and style suggests that at least!
I remember watching Klaus and his friend performing with David Bowie on SNL back in the day, totally bizarre beyond words.... We DESPERATELY need a COMPLETE collection of his visual performances! I suspect we will never see his like again and I regret his life was cut so short. His place in Art History is irrefutable. 🌟⭐⚡⭐🌟
Totally agree with you! Also, the friend you reference from the old David Bowie/SNL broadcast was (& is) Joey Arias, another one-of-a-kind, super amazing performer. I once had the honor of meeting Joey while we were waiting for a train at Penn Station, true story! He came across as such a sweet, engaging, regular guy. Long live all these talented, bizarre, totally unique icons.
When I showed a friend Klaus Nomi, she said these things about him: -"he feels like a parody of a real person. like an over-the-top vampiric villain serving as an out-of-place reference to some real-world musician in an old Ravenloft adventure" -"he looks like he lives in an evil lair shaped like a giant piano" -"every photo of him looks like a still from a 1940s horror movie where it eventually turns out he was a corpse all along" -"he apparently owns no outfits that don’t make it look like he’s about to drop a chandelier on someone and then fly above a crowd of panicked onlookers" -"he looks like he has a spaceship that takes people to the dust dimension" -"he looks like he has a heroic rival who he compels the audience to murder while he finishes his song" -"he looks like the leader of the starmen if earthbound got adapted in the same fashion as the live action super mario bros movie" And, I mean, she ain't wrong! I like to think he'd appreciate these comparisons...
I stumbled across this about 24 hours ago. I can't get it out of my head, I've been here like six times, and apparently here I am again. Im not gonna fight it anymore. I'm going down this rabbit hole lol
I just discovered him last Thursday. I’ve been watching his videos over and over again. I fell down that rabbit hole since I’ll be up at 1am watching his videos when I have to get up at 6am for work. He’s in my iPhone wallpaper now.
Yeah, I've missed my dad who died last week but Nomi's incredible and beautiful voice and face expressions make me happy again. In the same week I got to know Nomi's music better. Before I listened his music I thought it's only opera music, when I was reading about famous people who died from AIDS. No, it's a combination of opera, rock and pop.
I was exposed to Klaus by way of The Venture Brothers in which he was a henchman (along with Iggy Pop) to The Sovereign (David Bowie), however I had not a clue what his name was. Thank you for posting this video so I could finally put a name to the suit, hair and bow tie. I’ve officially got some listening to do.
I remember finding an ancient upload of this MV around 2012 when it was just a low-def video of a VCR recording. The low-quality made his costume look so uncanny that it actually ended up in a popular "creepy videos" playlist lol. But in retrospect that design (a classy derivative of one of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" "suit") was an amazing fit for a very distinctive act. Taken too soon.
This is what began it, a friend showed me this video uploaded to another channel something like 15 years ago now. He shared it as something weird, not necessarily to mock but it was weird. And I fell in love with it immediately, and been a fan ever since :)
Just found out about Nomi. Pretty sad his first album came out in 1981 and he was gone from this world just a couple years later in 1983. I would have really liked to see what he would have come out with, but I'm glad I got to experience what he did and feel privileged to do so.
The funny thing is that I first got to know Klaus Nomi as a figure on 1980's interior design and posters, not knowing at all he had been a real person. Just got tovknow him as the fantastic singer he was by YT videos some 15 years ago, and I must say the discovery of getting to know him as a living person and a very, very talented singer/performer was mindblowing to me.
i really love Klaus Nomi music i always play it while drawing or gaming but it makes me so happy i cant game normally and end up just happy jumping in circles 😂🤣
Clicking on this video a few months ago was probably the only good thing I’ve done during that time. Fell down a rabbit hole about this amazing guy…. I’m not drinking anymore, nearly liked me through alcohol withdrawal and knowing that drinking is why I felt so sick all the time…. I was afraid I won’t like music anymore. But it took a good week and yeah, I’m still very fond of music and still love this.
He also backed him on TVC15 on the same SNL episode. He had a toy poodle on wheels he pulled around that had a tv in its mouth showing the performance.
Tremendo vozarrón del sr Nomi....lo conoci por otro vídeo aconsejado y de verdad en el calza perfecta la palabra artista...... sencillo, auténtico, comunicador, provocador y fundamentalmente transgresor.......
I remember in the late 70's into the early 80's I would go shopping at Fiorucci's. It was an Italian fashion store on 59th Street off Lexington Avenue in NYC. They used to have all those "New Wave" clothes there. I use to buy the Fiorucci jeans. They were really tight and expensive. Well, I would see Joey Arias (I think he might have worked there) and I would also see Klaus Nomi. I assume they were good friends. They were always talking to each other. Those were such wonderful days. I loved that store and bought so many of their jeans and sweatshirts that were hand-painted. I miss those days. I also miss the fashions. They used to have champagne parties at Fiorucci's as well.
This was on one of the first “bizarre / creepy videos online “ in mid 2007 on list universe. I loved it, began researching klaus & loved everything he was doing from that point on. Ditto on Joey :)
Omg! You just reminded me of that website! I used to be on it everyday and discovered many amazing things, places about the world.. and now I've actually been to/seen the places that were once on that list ❤
He reminds me of the original Kryten (the robot servant) in the first series of Red Dwarf. But Nomi's width of vocal range is brilliant. And his stage persona is wonderfully crazy.
Just watched Madonna’s performance of Live to Tell in Rio, and was surprised to notice Klaus’s image in the collage of all the AIDS victims. But after learning that he was big in the NYC East Village scene then it made sense since that’s where most of Madonna’s friends at that time were from and the East Village was her main place of establishing and growing up as an artist. What an amazing and talented artist Klaus is❤️🔥👽
I didn't quite get this when I first saw it a couple weeks ago, but since then I can't help but come back to it over and over. What a showman! I'd love to see a documentary about this man and his stage persona.
Woah crazy I remember seeing a low qual version of this back in 2009 and forgot about it and it randomly pops up all these years later in HD as an official upload. Good deal. Cool version of this song
This is what I should be watching in an insomniac anxiety daze at 1:00 in the morning. Take me back to public access television and the early days of the internet.
it’s like the 80s and the 20s had a very violently confusing baby
The most perfect description
Omfg......you hit the nail on the head!!! I love it!!😂
But why do you speak facts 😮
Actually a funny and accurate description, even though Klaus also sang some 1930s songs.
Do you mean 1920s ? Do you have an example to give please ?

Clicking on this video a few months ago was probably the only good thing I’ve done during that time. Fell down a rabbit hole about this amazing guy…. I’m not drinking anymore, nearly liked me through alcohol withdrawal and knowing that drinking is why I felt so sick all the time…. I was afraid I won’t like music anymore. But it took a good week and yeah, I’m still very fond of music and still love this.
My favorite version of David Bowie's "man who sold the world" was with Klaus singing back up
Is he gay?
He also backed him on TVC15 on the same SNL episode. He had a toy poodle on wheels he pulled around that had a tv in its mouth showing the performance.
Tremendo vozarrón del sr Nomi....lo conoci por otro vídeo aconsejado y de verdad en el calza perfecta la palabra artista...... sencillo, auténtico, comunicador, provocador y fundamentalmente transgresor.......
where has this been all my life
I remember in the late 70's into the early 80's I would go shopping at Fiorucci's. It was an Italian fashion store on 59th Street off Lexington Avenue in NYC. They used to have all those "New Wave" clothes there. I use to buy the Fiorucci jeans. They were really tight and expensive. Well, I would see Joey Arias (I think he might have worked there) and I would also see Klaus Nomi. I assume they were good friends. They were always talking to each other. Those were such wonderful days. I loved that store and bought so many of their jeans and sweatshirts that were hand-painted. I miss those days. I also miss the fashions. They used to have champagne parties at Fiorucci's as well.
This was on one of the first “bizarre / creepy videos online “ in mid 2007 on list universe.
I loved it, began researching klaus & loved everything he was doing from that point on. Ditto on Joey :)
Omg! You just reminded me of that website! I used to be on it everyday and discovered many amazing things, places about the world.. and now I've actually been to/seen the places that were once on that list ❤
Otherworldly voice and performance
The guy is so extremely underrated.
I grew up in the 80s, but only recently learned about him because I grew up in the US, not the UK.
the operatic bridges with the 80s vibe is pretty amazing
Excellent la qualité vidéo, merci !!!!
It's so nice to see this in higher quality...
He reminds me of the original Kryten (the robot servant) in the first series of Red Dwarf. But Nomi's width of vocal range is brilliant. And his stage persona is wonderfully crazy.
クライテン懐かしい!
夢に出てくる…
This guy is fantastic !
Wow his voice is amazing
Just watched Madonna’s performance of Live to Tell in Rio, and was surprised to notice Klaus’s image in the collage of all the AIDS victims. But after learning that he was big in the NYC East Village scene then it made sense since that’s where most of Madonna’s friends at that time were from and the East Village was her main place of establishing and growing up as an artist. What an amazing and talented artist Klaus is❤️🔥👽
I didn't quite get this when I first saw it a couple weeks ago, but since then I can't help but come back to it over and over. What a showman! I'd love to see a documentary about this man and his stage persona.
Look for The Nomi Song documentary
Klaus: "Mom... Dad .... I'm Gay"
Parents: "We sort of guessed already"
Your missing eyebrows say it all...😁
heck yeah! Klaus is a super interesting to listen to!!!
do yall remember when he was on SNL with David Bowie back in the day???
truly a classic!
It makes my heart happy to see this.
Just so brilliant and watchable. And it sounds like heaven!
Incredible voice
Los más hermoso que e visto
This never gets old 🍙🍙🍙 thx Klaus for the eternal inspo
The algorithm brought me here and I’m so glad it did
声の表情が豊かでサビのファルセットがめちゃくちゃ綺麗
なるほど平沢進のCOLD SONGの元ネタ歌った人だわと納得してしまった
Woah crazy I remember seeing a low qual version of this back in 2009 and forgot about it and it randomly pops up all these years later in HD as an official upload. Good deal. Cool version of this song
This is what I should be watching in an insomniac anxiety daze at 1:00 in the morning. Take me back to public access television and the early days of the internet.
3:32 in the morning
