Yeah, totally - Bela is a year-zero thing. Not really talking about origins, but you OF ALL PEOPLE know how stuff like Israel was an influence on goth. Unintentionally, of course ;)

Well lets not go into the origin. To me Bauhaus were the first. The Sisters came later. I know that for a fact having met Mr Eldrich before they were famous. Bela set the standard for goth

Don't be too harsh, she's getting on a bit now, keep your voice down, etc!



I think albums such as Kaleidoscope had a big influence on the goth sound. If there were multiple threads, you know like in metal, then I guess you'd have bands in the Banshees mould that used the heavily chorused guitar arpeggios, or whatever, with tribal drums an' wailing cowbags, Bauhaus/Roxy Music type bands & then the whole Sisters thread, including the MIGHTY Neph.



Fave goth artists?

For me def Bauhaus. Siouxsie was punk. Even though she denies it now. So why was she part of the Bromley Contingent if she was not?

Oh no, now we'll have an 'origins of goth/death rock' debate! I wonder what Bauhaus & Siouxsie think of their parts in The Goth Story. Poor bastards!

Mention Bauhaus to a young goth and they do not know what you are talking about. To me, Bela Lugosis Dead was the very first goth song.

I bet *they're* not allowed to listen to Bauhaus anymore - not Goth enough ;)



Shit man, sorry, that's not my site, it's my mates, but we probably come across as the same in typed copy, what with him doing his best to be obnoxious in that blog, whilst I am simply being myself :)



Couldn't find that link on the site - probably doing something stupid. Call me wanker!

APPARENTLY, loads of them over here have vitamin d deficiencies cos they are nocturnal, not exactly 'sporty' or 'outdoorsy', or that often 'awake', and if they ever see the sun it's from the inside of a trenchcoat with gloves and makeup and looking down and hat or 4 feet of hair...I've never really studied Gothius Nocturnalis in the field, so can't say what they are like...I imagine not too many of them would get away with listening to a bit of Jane's Addiction on the side. Probably excommunicatible that one.



Damon that demon burger (Dimmu Borgir) video on your site was okay...and you've got a new nickname now :-)



Darren, you might enjoy this, the descriptions are funnier than the pics IMO:

Happy to please, surprisingly! Isn't it fucking great! :)



Poor old Goths - am I unfairly having a go at a minority? Ridiculously self-important patronising middle-class answers on a postcard please...
