Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead (Coachella 2005) (REACTION) | TWO SISTERS REACT

[@TwoSistersReact]

We still don't understand how he managed to be upside down the whole time !!! How crazy is that ?!? :O :O

[@kingdrax]

This song should be played in every Halloween party, and always in the dark!

[@VonCreeps]

all the blood would go to my head i would pass out lol, great reaction.

[@dismalangel]

Yes he's singing undead

[@davidpaul9204]

Peter Murphy ( The lead singer) practiced singing upside down.

[@mrhallcommajon]

I'd say your assessment is spot-on. It's a cool performance, but not their best song by a long shot. Peter Murphy has always been a very athletic performer and was a handsome gent back in his day.

[@boldmeregarden637]

This track was famously used in the vampire film 'The Hunger' starring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon

[@dimmube]

White on white translucent black capes Back on the rack Bela Lugosi's dead The bats have left the bell tower The victims have been bled Red velvet lines the black box Bela Lugosi's dead Undead undead undead The virginal brides file past his tomb Strewn with time's dead flowers Bereft in deathly bloom Alone in a darkened room The count Bela Logosi's dead Undead undead undead

[@Jacobmainchannel]

They are old school gothic rock they were there in the begin of it all. they were one of the few gothic rock bands back in the 70s and 80s to start that genre. I'm surprised they are still around. Bela Lugosi was an actor who was famous for starting the Dracula craze back in the day and this song is essentially I guess in honor of him. It was them and groups like The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as Joy Division to start the genre of gothic Rock back then.

[@darthrocker2849]

I hesitate to call Bauhaus "goth", as there just weren't sub-generes back then. However, they were definitely the harbinger of things to come. I most definitely wouldn't call Joy Division goth at all. I absolutely detest that we feel the need to pigeon hole

[@asisterofmercy]

@@darthrocker2849 Bauhaus were without doubt at the forefront of original 'Goth' scene/sound )I was a Goth in the early 80's, the Genre was there). Joy Division were noted as being the originators of the thereafter 'Gothic' sound (I would argue for The Doors). Both were PostPunk as it was, as was a large number of groups later categorised as Goth

[@marcus812]

Bela Lugosi was mostly famous for his portrayal of Dracula. Peter Murphy is the singer. The bands heyday was the '80's and helped inspire the Goth scene. This song is more atmospheric tongue in cheek goth/pop.

[@TwoSistersReact]

Ahhhh thanks for the info!

[@marcus812]

Listen to "Cuts You Up" by Peter Murphy. Kind of a gothic love song. Good stuff! 👍🏼

[@FedericoFrusciante]

bela lugosi , dracula an universal classic. the song is a masterpiece.

[@oleksandrbyelyenko435]

Wow. Congrats on encountering Bauhaus. That's a classic.

[@ronmerchant3934]

Bela Lugosi was a horror film actor in the 1930's. His life took a downside in the 50's when he was hooked on booze and moriphine. He died a pauper. And turned into a legend.

[@ingobordewick6480]

He is singing "Undead", because Bela Lugosi was very famous for playing Dracula back in the black/white film era.

[@thelwulfeoforlic6482]

Bauhaus were formed in Northampton, England, in 1978 and were a seminal band of the nascent Goth genre. Bela Lugosi’s Dead was their first single released on the 6th August 1979 and is considered the harbinger of gothic rock music and has been immensely influential on contemporary goth culture. The song draws on the imagined imagery around the death of the Hungarian actor Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó (October 20, 1882 - August 16, 1956), known professionally as Bela Lugosi who started in the 1931 film “Dracula” (directed by Tod Browning ) and was a staple as the eponymous vampire in a number of films released by Universal Pictures throughout the 1930’s, hence the ‘chorus’ “Bela Lugosi’s dead…..undead……..undead”

[@franciscoojeda8986]

Bauhaus was one of the first bands I heard when I took interest in gloom and gothic rock, especially from England. This band, along with The Cure, The Damned, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and others that gave me insight away from Disco and Rock that I was only hearing in South Florida at the time. I recommend listening to Peter Murphy's "Cuts You Up" and "Indigo Eyes".

[@raysmith1630]

"Cuts you Up" and "Indigo Eyes" are really awesome songs.

[@asisterofmercy]

Can't believe you didn't include TSOM

[@jasonfrodoman1316]

How long will it take these girls to stop bopping before they actually realize what's going on here...

[@oleksandrbyelyenko435]

I see people already told you who was Bela Lugosi. Well , as he used to play Dracula, and vampires are undead, so Lugosi is undead. He as an actor died, but as Dracula he will never die.

[@jillianallen762]

Peter Murphy literally had to train for this. Like he trained for a long time to be able to stay upside down for this long without passing out or giving himself brain damage.

[@mmeellxx3919]

And still had his voice

[@ShadowyFox_86]

Well I can say, they've still got. Decades upon decades later, and Peter Murphy can still enamor a crowd

[@michaelmunoz1594]

I was lucky enough to see them at this show at Coachella, I also caught them in 1997 at the Hollywood Paladium. They put on an amazing show at Coachella, the atmosphere was perfect, it was windy enough that the fog machines looked nice & creepy (those weren't fans blowing the smoke around). He also did a song from the top of the stage lights, about 40 feet up. The saddest part of the day was seeing all the Goths in the medical tent due to heat exhaustion, it was over 100 & not a good day to be dressed in all black, well not until the sun went down, that's when all the bats come out!

[@jenwendy7]

I had no idea they played Coachella in 2005. I would have lost my f***in' mind! Peter is quite old ladies, this came out in the 70's. For him to be singing upside down, wow ❤

[@carne_verde]

Do a Siouxsie & the Banshees reaction (probably most popular song would be 'Spellbound') - you'll probably understand the scene Bauhaus was coming from in the late 70s-early 80s better.

[@michaelcooper9493]

This song was released on 12inc vinyl and was an anthem to all the lost soul that were left over from the 70 punk movement in the uk, remember it being played in the Limit club in Sheffield 40 years ago.

[@adebinelli8182]

Brilliant track never seen a reaction before.....

[@Button101Man]

Loved Bauhaus back in the day, along with The Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc. If you want to react to a really creepy song listen to Ghosts by Japan. Got a Queen of the Damned vibe from this performance.

[@duhusker4383]

Bela Lugosi was an actor who became famous for portraying Dracula in the 1930s and other roles in horror movies. Hence the reason why he's singing hanging upside down like a vampire. And Bauhaus were an English Goth band form the 80s whose lead singer is Peter Murphy who also released solo albums.

[@Azabaxe80]

Murphy was a 48 year old man here. A person can normally hang upside for about 15 minutes before passing out. Singing while hanging upside down is a different thing altogether. This was an inspired artistic choice at a time when music is not art.

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

Last week I closed out a Halloween music show with this song on a zoom for adults with disabilities. I also included The Plasmatics "The Dammed" which should also be on your list. Thanks for doing Bauhaus. The band name comes from a German decorative arts movement.

[@juliocaesaralcaraz9891]

They originally were named Bauhaus 1919, I guess that was the start of that decorative art movement in Germany, but dropped 1919

[@frankiew8532]

Bela Lugosi was the first actor to portray Count Dracula in the movies. The Count was a vampire so he is Undead.

[@gtaguy9337]

From my home town Northampton great band one of the best performance s at Coachella EVER

[@FluffyMcFluffavicMeowskiOFluff]

Are you girls going to do another Q&A/Reveal video when you reach 25k subs? btw Bela Lugosi was the original king of b&w silent horror movies. He played all the favourite and best known monsters and freaks hence the "undead" line and hanging upside down

[@TwoSistersReact]

Oh thnx for the info!

[@TwoSistersReact]

And for the Q&A not sure. Probably something of the sort :)

[@ronmerchant3934]

It was not in silent films. He became famous with 1931's DRACULA.

[@descendantoffools9767]

Lead singer Peter Murphy had a solo hit Cuts You Up that sounds nothing like this, check it out.

This song is to goth music what "Rock Around The Clock" is to rock and roll. It started it all.

[@mattjohn4731]

They were already in their late 40's. Peter Murphy's vampire bat stunt is amazing! godfather of goth?

[@marcorobertini9943]

la ascolto da quando è uscita negli anni 80 e mi da tuttavia i brividi sono nonmorto

[@alextaylor2551]

Was at this show! He was upside down. ‘Undead’

[@raysmith1630]

Bauhaus was the genesis of Goth music. Peter Murphy is hanging upside down in an imitation of a bat. Come on girls....Bela Lugosi...Count Dracula.. vampires...

[@gordieparenteau6555]

Believe it or not, hanging upside like this is part of how astronauts train for the effects of weightlessness in space.

[@Don1970]

Crazy atmospheric. First time I heard it was from the early 80’s horror movie The Hunger. Very dark and moody track. Fits the opening of that movie well, and still what I remember most about that film...and couple of other scenes 😄

[@shspurs1342]

This song to me this song always sounds like one of pink early song especially Roger Syd Barrett Guitar playing.

[@mattjohn4731]

I think the drums were upbeat but the guitar and bass grooves are slow. Yeah this is their longerst song. They have some real hard and fast ones. A good variety but mostly all spooky. They were sort of the premier goth rock band

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

BEAUTIFUL 😍

[@markgiordonello6710]

that was fucking cool

[@45banshee]

Many credit Bauhaus with this very song for birthing the Gothic music genre. They do have a lot of good music imo.

[@raysmith1630]

You ladies crack me up. Like who's Bauhaus??? Too funny.

[@raysmith1630]

The virginal brides file past his tomb.,..the Count..Undead...

[@Thatgirl1973]

[@jesushuerta5434]

Les recomiendo lacrimosa, Haggard, Therion, theatres des Vampires eso sí es atmosférico y lleno de matices y no planos cómo ésa bandita de Bauhaus,

[@metalmarc9542]

Bauhaus was very big in the early 80's. Just after the punk periode in the early 80's the new wave started and that's were they were very known! The term gothic rock did not excist at that time. That something that was created in the 90's.

[@amc7185]

I got into Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy in 1985. Absolutely were labeled as “Gothic” at the time.

Lo mismo digo música muy plana muy rutinaria los mismos ritmos, no es atmosférico, es una canción que no tiene ni siquiera ritmos de composición, la letra muy unicorniana ése wey del cantante le canta a un actor, no entiendo cómo los llaman " los iconos del gótico" de gótico no tiene nada de verdad, total Bauhaus es una porquería de banda...
