I was really excited to find this version. I've always wanted to do a reaction to this, and this version was the right length, and the band is featured really well. Thanks for checking this one out!
Oh wow that's really cool. I'm glad you got to experience that. In prepping for this video, I watched one of those Coachella performances, and it was really cool. Sadly, it appears that Murphy has stopped performing because of his issues with drugs and his health.
The three best rock baritones of all time. David Bowie Peter Murpy Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) Each have a surprising upper range while always satisfying fans with the lower keys. All three. Absolute legends.
Anyone else remember what it was like “dancing” in goth clubs back then? Now there’s an experience like no other, adding your body movements to this unusual musical experience…(hint: it wasn’t about rhythm…)
I’ve probably heard it and not known who it was. That style of music is one I resonate with. Perfect driving music - at dusk in the mountains when it’s a little hazy, the trees are dark and there’s a slight damp chill. I never realized how much Iggy Pop that Peter Murphy can channel.
Yeah he's for sure channeling some Iggy in there too. I didn't know a lot about him until I did this video. Sadly it appears he's still struggling with drug abuse. There was supposed to be a big Bowie tribute concert that he was going to headline, but unfortunately, it had to be cancelled because of Murphy's on-going struggle with addiction and his health. It's kind of sad. He seems like a really talented but troubled guy. He reminds me a lot of Peter Steele from Type O Negative.
Not that it really matters, but I don't think that was live. It was so spot on, note for note of recorded version. Idc, that song rocks no matter what.
It's amazing how such a basic song can kick-start an entire genre. I don't mean to sound disparaging when I say it's basic, I just mean it's basic in terms of chord progression and song structure, but as a work of art it's pretty much perfect. I'm pretty sure this song wasn't just responsible for creating the Goth scene though, it was also a huge influence on the Grunge scene too (or at least Nirvana since it sounds like something Kurt Cobain could have written).
I don't that's disparaging at all! Ricky and I have talked a lot about this very topic. Sometimes the most impactful music isn't necessarily complex or "hard." I think that's what he have here. Bauhaus somehow tapped into something and ended up creating a brand new genre. And you're absolutely right. I should have mentioned more genres it impacted. I honestly think we're still feeling the impact of that one song.
There were prior songs that fit the definition of goth, but yes, this is to goth music what "Rock Around The Clock" is to rock and roll, or "Rapper's Delight" is to rap. BTW this isn't a live performance, they are miming to the record.
I've never seen Daniel use that guitar before!! I thought I saw everything he's done so thanks for this video because I've never SEEN IT BEFORE!

I have been lucky enough to see them perform this song three times including at Coachella. Amazing.

I love the version of this song from Coachella where Peter Murphy is hanging like a bat while singing. Almost TOO goth.
The three best rock baritones of all time.
David Bowie
Peter Murpy
Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode)

When art school punks arrange a one night stand between psychedelic and dub, this is the baby that results.

Serious props for the spot on War Games reference. Kudos Professor Falken.
Thanks! The only winning move is not to play.
I think they used this song in The Hunger.
I have never seen that movie! Tony Scott's first film, right? We should watch it.
@@LikeMindedLunatics we should! It's amazing, in a good way, not in a "Killdozer" way.
It definitely was. It’s burned in my mind. What a great cult classic. Bowie! Deneuve! Sarandon showing how f-ing cool she actually is…
t@@mongooz24The Hunger Version was the best

Cool!
Brilliant
Now listen to Björk’s Hyperballad and you know where she got it from😅..not a bad song but Bauhaus 79 is brilliant

I had Bauhaus “Kick In the Eye” on an import vinyl that cost me like $30 back then! Where did that baby go…
Oh man what a cool vinyl to have!
The best version of this is the live one featured on their original greatest hits album.
I think the very best Version us in the Album "Press the Eject and give me the tape" from 1982 the same Version as in the Movie called "The Hunger"
