The reporter is fangirling and can hardly hold it in. I love it.

A charismatic, erotic and gentleman-like Vampire

I could hear Peter talk forever!!! Damn, he's hot

He is gorgeous.

His British accent's really dreamy

Peter Murphy is GORGEOUS and smart as hell to boot. "Commanding with charisma" is him to a tee.

omg he was at his sexiest in the 80's, WHAT A FACE!

I saw Bauhaus in 1982 at Larry's Hideaway in Toronto. It was the best live concert I had ever seen. It still holds up to this day as one of the best...and I've seen a lot of concert! It was violent yet sexual. My boyfriend and I had a drink with Peter Murphy after the show. He was a total gentleman and a very different character than he was on stage.

Peter Murphy is my Lestat.

He's so...I just...oh my.

I believe he said "...subtle-like eroticism..." and wow. Peter talking about eroticism... leaves me almost speechless. He looks fantastic here and his hair is gorgeous.

I just love his smile

He's an incredibly sophisticated guy, very cool :) That girl interviewing him, look at her at 1:00, she wants him so bad! Bauhaus were/are one of the finest and inventive bands ever, it's so uncool that I was born so late! That said, I've made it my mission to find everything they've ever produced - the new 'deluxe editions' of their studio albums are sublime, but my favourite has to be the 'live in New York' from a few years ago :D

it hurts me that professional footage of that concert exists and we don't have it

dude his voice sounds like bowie's and kinda like the young tim curry

For those who are still curious, the song at 4:00 is Peter Murphy's "Tale of the Tongue"

An absolute heart throb.

She asks him, "Blah, blah, blah"... Who cares...let's just stare at his beauty.

Love Peter Murphy, beauty and brains...hard to beat!!!!!

he looks like what I imagine a vampire would look like

He's right!! Vampire are the perfect rockstars!!!!

what a handsome man!

Murphy would have made a MUCH better Lestat than Tom Cruise. I felt it was a terrible mistake in casting to give the role to Cruise. I couldn't even make it through the movie he was such a mismatch. Cruise is an ok actor, but in a white bread, safe kind of way. The only creepy thing about Cruise is his devotion to the cult he's in, Scientology.

I agree. I think is obvious Peter is influenced not only by the Ziggy era, but by the Station To Station, long before Bauhaus even existed. The Thin White Duke character is deep inside Peter's heart.

smart guy. decades before the current craze they explored the ideas behind vampirism in a very creative way

I like how Peter talks about eroticism

He would have been great as Lestat. Anne Rice actually had Bowie in mind. But he had already done the Hunger and wasn't interested in more vampire movies.

Funny, I worked at a club in Cincinnati called Bogart's in about 5 years after this video was taken, in 1994 he was hardly playing to anyone. In fact a young girl from Alaska was opening up that no one has ever heard of it was just her by herself with a guitar and doing yodeling songs touring the country with her boyfriend in an old VW bus. It was jewel. Mr. Murphy seemed burned-out grouchy and like he did not want to be there, and certainly no longer thought he was a vampire. That said I am a huge fan and was pretty disappointed although it was really awesome to meet him for like the second I did, he wasn't mean or anything just burned out. I felt bad for him.

Interesting interview. love how the reporter is entranced :)

She's clearly trying to flirt with him, it's actually pretty funny...can't blame her for trying though! XD

He will always be my bela lugosi ♥♥

BAUHAUS 1919, just found out about the whole bauhaus school and then this band and love this whole bauhaus

He will always be my Lestat

"the vampire mythology and the rockstar go so well together" Yes exactly, that's why they should have used Peter Murphy's voice instead of Korn's for Lestat's music in Queen of the Damned. A few little tweaks like that could have actually made the movie passable.

Peter is so gorgeous in this vid!!!!

Keep saying "erotic" Peter 😍

She’s gorgeous

Back in the day when intelligence and charisma was needed to be somebody in music.

Yah! Thanks! And youre right! He is gorgeous! Very Gorgeous!!!

@Criddington I want him so bad! I met him in 1985, I was 15...swoon...

Peter Murphy es demasiado sensual e inteligente. Irresistible.

He is totally likeable. Much in the way of all all round decent bloke.

Has there EVER in the history of mankind been a more beautiful man? I think not. I wish they would have made that movie with Peter then instead of the awful and horrendous piece of trash that so many years later was 'the queen of the damned'...with the worst music ever. Seriously, why wasn't this man in anything other than The Hunger? He is even more gorgeous than Bowie...and that's no easy task.

This was from 1987. I first saw him in February of 1987, and the next two times were April of 1988 and September of 1988. By 1988 he had cut his hair and darkened it more again. (I also saw him several times in 1990, a few times in 1992, a few times in 1995, etc., etc., etc.)

I've seen him several times and even got to chat with him. He's extremely kind and down to earth. We talked about the mainstreamness of goth culture and how it the opposite back in the day.

Wow, he has a really debonair, aristocratic feel about him, doesn't he?

I've seen him so many times I can't quite remember them all, haha! SO many tours... I slowed down after awhile, though. I only saw him once last June. ( - ; When I first saw him live in 1987, he just blew me away. I rarely have that reaction to a performer. My reaction was comparable to the one I had when I first saw Bowie as Ziggy in 1973. (Yes, I'm older than Peter, but younger than Bowie.)

😍😍😍👂 his voice omg

I need to watch the whole version of this live performance of “spirit“ at the end 😥

10-18-20 Wow wow wow!!! THAT BOOK IS SITTING NEXT TO ME NOW!!! The Vampire Lestat!!!!! Had this copy since 1994

What an awesome interview!! He should have been Lestat instead of Tom Cruise.

P.s. He is hot!!!

Who wouldn't want him?

Making this American gal blush.

“I scared somebody the other night” - Peter Murphy

Peter Murphy can still get it.. he’s fine lol

Thanks for upload ...in late '80s the' New Music ' show was aired in the UK around 3AM on ITV- (one of the 4 Channels available at the time) that had just started showing programmes around the clock...

Que guapisimo

Mi crush es exactamente igual a Peter Murphy en esa época (bueno no tanto ). Pero lo veo y lo recuerdo a él jejejejejeje.

Barotone voice is ahhhhhhhhh❤❤❤

Peter you Rock lad!

What makes this clip so great? Tale of the Tongue live! Imagining the Lestat that could have been, which, wow. The mind reels. Tale of the Tongue live! (It bears repeating)

Oh!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!

legend. full stop.

beautiful Peter Murphy love your songs 💗

gorgeous

He was is and always will be a god

Ha, talking about Ann Rice novels - that would have been AMAZING if Perter Murphy had played Lestat. But no... sadly, freakn' Tom Cruz....

Oi! Great comments.Bit more of the psychic vampire who needs that from his audience,the give and take.Meant in the best way to say great,art,music,theater,dance you have to know or understand your fans,hate that word,lol,to get it.The best entertainment is having all sides of the performance leave the gig with a sense of unity.The psychic vampire has nothing to offer.But the artist,dare I use that word in mainstream useage,is a unifier.

So beautiful

"Tale of the Tongue" live! Awesome!

@GGiblet thank you verrrryy much!!!♥

there is just something about him

He's perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Genius. Love it!

As much as I love Bauhaus, this is very Spinal Tap-ish. That interviewer!

This interview is from 1986 btw and not 1988, bass player is Eddie Branch from U.K. Decay and not Big Country.

Thanks!

yes very good to see it!!

The interview (and performance clips|) are from early '87, not "1989". lol Late? I know... Here's the Rub: Tale of the Tongue was pre-Love Hysteria; that and he got his haircut for that lp. Edit: I know some may be confused about "which year" this is from, cos of his hair being long, as seen on some of the 1988 tour shirts.

1:00 find someone that looks at you like that and you're golden lol

3.25 ...... "I think it will make a better movie than a book" ...... Good call...... :)

Couldn't agree more!

holy sh$t..now you take me back :-) .. My baby is alright she doesn't mind a bit of dirt she says "horror vampire bat bite"

RIP Gabby❣️

Was any man more beautiful than Peter Murphy in the 80s and 90s? John Lurie, maybe? Young Denzel? Tony Leung? Not many more. Peter was apex.

Que vampiro mas delicioso.Lo veo en esta entrevista y olvido que es my cantante favorito,solo veo a un hermoso vampiro y quiero que me muerda.Haslo ,mi gotico Murphy,dejare la ventana abierta para ti.Dame el beso del vampiro,estoy lista.Isabel Dhampir Bowie,HERMANA GOTH DE cALLYSTO999.

♥♥♥♥ Eu te amooooo Peter ♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!

He would have been so good in that movie!! There's that rumor of Peter trying to play a part in the movie "Interview with the Vampire" Since rumors and facts always goes to another person and another; it must have started with this fact and ended up with the rumor of him trying to be in "The intervew with the vampire" instead!! Can both be true??? I think so yah!! He would have been good in both of them!!! Oh well!

@MikeMoldao: You too? Oh god that was the best concert I went to :D

Oh she wants him so badly! :D

The way he speaks reminds me of the way emerson barrett speaks

@NathaPotter "Tale of the Tongue" is the song title cheers!

That reporter looks she´s about to jump him at any time... hilarious ...

“I don’t need to take drugs” * gets pulled over in LA and charged with possession of meth.

@EmmaSkye7 Bowie changed his approach to vocals later on though... his voice became less 'heady' and went for a deeper sound in the late 70's... primarily influenced by The Walker Brothers.. go have a listen. I can see how people could think Bowie might have gotten the idea from listening to Bauhaus... hell, maybe that was part of it too.

It's interesting because he doesn't stutter in this one.

man so he did have a stutter i had never noticed it but i read it and i was like what but he does???????????

me encanta

he's the reason Bauhaus broke up
