Evil Robots Attacking Me?... punk, metal, hardcore

What's your fave Bauhaus tunes, their covers included?

Off the top..

that Bauhaus 1998 (1999 release), "Gotham" NYC reunion gig video is fantastic btw!  

[Statto]

This is the only Bauhaus record I have...

...so I guess it has to be that

^^ I heard "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in the car yesterday.  IMO, one of the best dub influenced post-punk tunes.  Did you ever see Bauhaus live back in their heyday Statto?  

As a kid, Bauhaus were sort of a litmus test for punk kids that I grew up with.  Peter Murphy was extremely astounding to envision for your typical hetero male adolescent - this lanky, freaky, theatrical, presumably effeminate , shirtless dude, creeping & throwing himself around in their music videos in black tights, completely the opposite of 80's thrash metal, NA hardcore punk imagery & machismo.  Then Daniel Ash's make-up and ripped sheer shirts, leather pants, etc.    LADIES LOVE that look as we all know, but dudes were thrown off, including friends I grew up with back then.  Bauhaus were too freaky.  ha.

Back then, we were hanging with these thrash metal kids, they were into the standard Megadeath, Metallica, Slayer, etc. They could get into Bad Brains, 80's Cro-mags, C.O.C, D.R.I, & typical hardcore punk,  thrash crossover stuff of the day.  We were at a party and I played Bauhaus, and the thrash metal dudes were cringing right away lol, ".... wtf is this shit????"  They were really disgusted. ha   Peter Murphy's voice, the sometimes minimal, dark vibes, is wasn't your typical volume "rawk" right?   The metal dudes fully weren't down. Bauhaus were NOT for them that night. heh.  Bauhaus were too weird.  

I always have that memory.   Bauhaus certainly divided some tastes imo.

Did you ever see Bauhaus live back in their heyday Statto?  

I saw them in Nottingham in 1981, I think. I can't really remember much about it

Interesting contrast of the original line up, vs Murphy & more recent, newer backing band.  Both great imo.  Daniel Ash is incredible at recreating the studio sounds live.
