Yes, the pioneers of GOTH

Bat Nuklier Probably they would decline that honour.

yeah, whatever.

Neuroneos And as I can see in your profile pic you like Kate Bush stuff too! :D

LPSPiesAndLies Indeed, Kate rules.

+Howard Downes lovelovelove Nina

TheNajain Me too! I wouldn't know about her if not for youtube, which is great for such discoveries when used to filter out the endless rubbish ! As an authentic punk, I found our Nina by accident when searching Nico, a coming as a surprise not to have heard about her,(esp since she's been about since at least 1978) but then realised how insular even the British or English New Wave/Punk scene can be when it comes to all things "foreign". She must be at least a couple of years older than me,(we do seem to mature like a fine wine or when distilling a single malt whisky, maybe a better comparison might be the fine line between how stinky blue cheeses improve and age as they rot and decay !) Appreciate your message. Funnily the video for Smack Jack has Nina dressed as Kate Bush and Cyndi Lauper, who both had huge mainstream success by the time Nina parodied them, whilst claiming to be "alternative", which is the point she's making in that film. Just when I thought I was starting to get a full picture, damn it if she isn't singing melodically Hindu songs devoted to the female aspect of Vishnu, Shiva ! (Who I have a large brass statue of, after my travels and a time I went to the Sri Mahamariamman gupola/temple each day, even placing my hands nine times in the Brahmin's sacred fire, without harm obviously, just before he led us round each shrine, finishing as usual at a giant lifesize statue of Sri Mahamariam herself, who name literally means "Saint/Holy (shree) - Great (maha) - her name (mariaman, a form of maryam/miryam/Mary)", and she represents one of the destructive aspects of the great mother goddess. When we reached her, the Hindu priest removed the giant flower garland put around her neck in veneration, before walking towards me. Somehow intuitively knowing what was going on, I had bowed deeply, as he placed it around my neck. As I left the Temple and made my way back to where I was staying, the local Tamil Indians just kept running up to me and touching my clothing, calling me Sami, which is the same as Swami meaning "saint / sage". A true but bizarre story..... Anyhoo. Om Namaha Shivaya ! LoveLoveLove H:)

+Howard Downes Nina is a revolutionary singer, crazy and fearless! I appreciate the many facets of her one hour punk, theater, lyrical ..... I only have 30 years, and charmed by the artistic blood and true of Nina Hagen!

Good comparison

On ACID???..... Cocaine.....and tequila.

And Diamanda Galas!!

her voice is actually pretty damn good, if that is what you're going for. Operatic quality

3 octave range,i believe.wonder if bowie liked this...

Yeah! Patty Waters, Yoko Ono, & Lene Lovich too.

not the only already) look this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5p7fZZhmdGlfqc.html

Over Tina Turner?

@@sholape That's a tough one....

Surely Yes.

And what about Janis Joplin?

Yes, Nina....Simone

Marc Bolan is Lady Stardust!

Chick ? More respect for the mother of punk

So in to drugs

@@steveenberg9119 Nope .

She had a natural singing and never lost that.. and she is open to the cosm. It just sounds through her.. she lets that happen. You cant manage that. It manages YOU. You are just a vessel.

She is definitely a goth, haha. And she's a classically trained opera singer, since a child. She can manipulate her voice is amazing ways. ^_^

her mother was an opera singer and she is trained in opera as well. She has an amazing instrument. ...and charming almost menacing ....oh i worship her. here on youtube she sings "Fever " you will enjoy that.

She would be laughed off the stage if she was to appear on the xfactor today.

the harsh truth

@@Mister_NO. That's why these shows suck and are the death knell of music.

It's good but it's nowhere near as good as the original...

Oooh, same. I felt that way when one of my teachers recommended the Bauhaus cover of Ziggy Stardust

helio brasileiro concordo plenamente.

Massimiliano Russo you're handsome man

Utvilsomt. Eller ettersom du er svensk, utveksamt? :D

Just you dumbass

Hi

Nina offered, but Bowie was afraid it would give him stretch marks.

These two comments are the best, can't stop laughing

Bold of you to assume they didn't.... Kevin Federline was born shortly after Bowie left Nina in Berlin, and it all makes so much sense.

...Bowie was busy with Romy Haag....

+Dennis Hill yes

Also he had Iggy pop with him

She is NOT GOTH...ART PUNK

Whatever she is, it sucks...
