[@theopinatedpterodactyl6559]

Fun fact! The band Bauhaus was on the set of the 83 film the Hunger and where performing as part of a scene, bowie, one of the stars, was also on set, and walked in on them practicing by playing Ziggy stardust. Bowie was so impressed he called his lawyer to hand them the rights to cover this song on the spot! Also, If you haven't seen the hunger, that movie is fucked up. Highly recommend if a erotic horror movie staring david bowie as a vampire is smth your interested in.

​@sugarkaneandchloe well considering that he was one of the stars that this song was performed for, it would be safe to guess he enjoyed it.

[@brain8484]

this is like early 80's Bowie never mentioned it

[@BoudicaJ]

@@rhichan it absolutely would not be safe to assume that, at all. It is a carbon copy, done badly, of a live version from 1972. This is a horrid thing to have to listen to, if one has ears that is. Edit … This is a cheap effort to capture the essence of the original which was done, live, a decade before. Listen to the Bowie live performance if think this is acceptable. The phrasing, everything … even the breathing is copied. Maybe you’re not aware of this and am giving you the benefit of the doubt

[@BoudicaJ]

@@rhichan what are you talking about, one of the stars it was performed for? I have literally no idea what it is you are trying to convey.

Saw Peter Murphy live in the 90's; he did this song as an encore. I was in love. Check out the movie, "The Hunger", starring Bowie: at the beginning of the film, Bauhaus opened the film with a kick-ass rendition of "Bela Lugosi's Dead,". In a cage!

Just what I was going to say, nobody else could have done this cover and no one else other than Peter Murphy makes me feel the same as Bowie does.

What is for dead certain is that a couple years after this was done, Bowie picked their song, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" for the opening credits of his movie, "The Hunger". He most certainly wouldn't have done that if he was put off in any way by this cover.

Bowie was known for his extremely considerate manners. He was always far too polite to _ever_ snub a sincere tribute. So I'd imagine that when he said that, inside he was thinking more like: "I wish this is how it had been mixed and mastered, mate. There, I said something nice! 'Never don't be nice when you're being quoted for all bloody eternity'-that's what me mum taught me!" (Yes, Bowie's thoughts frequently had exclamation points.)
