A charismatic, erotic and gentleman-like Vampire

[@lalakuma9]

Instead they got Tom Cruise to play him :|

[@lizard1971]

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

[@venicequeen34]

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

[@April_flowers483]

He is gorgeous.

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.

[@Squeaky1423]

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

[@HarryPotter87]

His British accent's really dreamy

[@tartansmitty]

Peter Murphy is my Lestat.

[@thedveri]

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

[@hamupinhere]

There is a criminal lack of live Peter Murphy audio/video from the late 80's/early 90's, while he was undoubtedly putting out his strongest solo material.

[@hollymcgowan5516]

I just love his smile

[@midnightwitch4603]

me too

[@moodyfeverdream]

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.

[@tartansmitty]

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

[@April_flowers483]

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

[@Fascinatingstreet]

For real tho 😩

[@JCridford]

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

[@tjmario64]

An absolute heart throb.

[@artistictanglefire]

Interesting interview. love how the reporter is entranced :)

[@racheedmatthewmani7451]

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

[@HouseofBats]

that was going to bother me all day. thank you.

[@Darquespells666]

You are a gentleman sir! Thank you

[@user-pp1on4fk7d]

Shut up nobody asked!

[@joebaumgart1146]

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.

[@user-pp1on4fk7d]

No you didn't

[@AliciaLovich]

what a handsome man!

[@mirighazvini8666]

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

[@tbastrikes7847]

miri ghazvini I’ve watched other interviews with him. His speech pattern hides a stutter that he really has. It is fetching though.

[@ratonmagico]

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.

[@PurpleBlueHaze]

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

[@byanyothername-1]

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.

[@markspears8253]

Saw him at Bogart’s in ‘89, Nine Inch Nails was the opener. THAT show was amazing and still one of the best I have ever seen.

[@alisoncain769]

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.

[@WaterBottleBlues101]

Alison Cain 💯

[@progbaby69]

Don't forget about his creepy ass mono-tooth

[@sylph8005]

I thought Cruise was great as Lestat, but Murphy would probably have been better

[@brunettezprettyr4296]

Literally what? He was amazing as Lestat, even though he is bat shit crazy, you cannot deny he was amazing in the movie. He never acted that well in any other movie lol.

[@junkhop]

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

[@qabriel649]

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

[@SherryeLyn]

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.)

[@midnightwitch4603]

He will always be my bela lugosi ♥♥

[@Simba______]

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

[@PurpleBlueHaze]

Peter is so gorgeous in this vid!!!!

[@sarahdaw6648]

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.

[@sarahdaw6648]

***** Umm...ok....I'm restating what Bowie had said about being offered vampire parts..and aliens.

[@sarahdaw6648]

Yeah, I would have loved him as Lestat!

[@lizard1971]

+sarah daw I agree.....I liked Tom Cruise in the part but Peter?......omg! I would have wet myself

[@MoriDarkmoss]

Keep saying "erotic" Peter 😍

[@hamupinhere]

E-rut-tick

[@jadedjaded4533]

He will always be my Lestat

[@Hannah-il9mv]

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

[@jx3821]

"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.

[@PurpleBlueHaze]

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

[@80stimeagain]

I like how Peter talks about eroticism

[@dimmykarras9287]

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

[@logansummers1551]

You don't even understand where to use were vs was, so I'm not certain how much intelligence you have.

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...

[@SherryeLyn]

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.)

[@clod8]

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)

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.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

Bowie is quite ugly tbh (looks wise)... if there's anything attractive about him... it's his musical talent.

[@NapFloridian]

some would debate the fact that David Hasselhoff was in the same category...I would highly disagree

[@ivorytower99]

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.

[@PurpleBlueHaze]

yes very good to see it!!

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.

[@LiveLoverSub]

Could someone tell me which concert the song starting at 5:25 is from? I know that it's Spirit/We Love Our Audience, but the original version doesn't sound like this..

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

[@PurpleBlueHaze]

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!
