Wunschtraum und Wirklichkeit

Still absolutely obsessed with Tanz der Vampire.

back in my tanz der vampire era

[ricoka]

The last years I was ass deep into my Christmas playlist listening by this point, this year I'm listening to the Tanz der Vampire Soundtrack again 😭😭

[cuntvonkrolock]

i find it soooooo funny that my two favourite musicals of all time are tanz der vampire and newsies. i literally could not have picked a more different pair if i tried.

A concerning number of people are replying to this post defending the honor of frankly terrible musical Tanz Der Vampire, one of the biggest disasters of tone I've ever seen on stage.

okay so picture this.

You're a man named Jim Steinman. You are one of the most prolific songwriters of the 80s. In your spirit, output and essence, you are eternally popping a wheelie on a motorcycle while a hot half-naked woman clings to you and bats wheel in the sky above.

You wrote a song in which Meatloaf plays a hideously disfigured hunk who steals a nubile lady back to his crumbling manor and introduces her to the pleasures of magic lesbian group sex.

You wrote a song in which Celine Dion sings as Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, dancing with Cathy's corpse on a beach in the moonlight; a scene which you, Jim Steinman, believe should have been in the book. (The moors of Wuthering Heights are landlocked, but you, Jim Steinman, are too fucking real to care about that.)

You wrote the song for the opening scene of the movie Streets of Fire, in which evil leatherdaddy Willem Dafoe leads his malefic motorcycle crew into a concert to abduct Diane Lane while she's wearing a skintight satin jumpsuit.

You wrote a song in which Bonnie Tyler wanders a haunted boarding school as literal demon twinks gyrate at her out of the fog.

There is no peak of goth camp that you, Jim Steinman, have not summited, no horny energy you have not tapped. They say that Alexander the Great wept when he saw there were no more worlds to conquer. But you, Jim Steinman, are not Alexander the Great. You, Jim Steinman, are better. You, Jim Steinman, have vision.

You take your most successful song, the song everyone knows, the most big-haired, white dress, gothic arches, doves flying, possessed choir boys chanting, bombastic song you have, and think: what if this, but with vampires.

And so you change the lyrics to be about death and infinity and a powerful bloodsucking lord seducing a girl who is ALL ABOUT IT, and then toss off a whole musical for this song to be the centerpiece to, and the musical is bad but it's also a weird hit that's been staged in fourteen countries and revived seven times, because nothing has ever whipped as campily, as ridiculously, as perfectly as this:

It never takes off in America. A prophet is without honor in his own land. But that doesn't matter. How could it matter? You are perhaps the most creatively self-actualized man who has ever lived. Look at that vampire. He's coming in hot and a hundred Venetian nuns gave their lives to make his ludicrously capacious lace sleeves. Look at that girl. She was born in a fog machine. She wore her best red velvet cape. She's down bad. She's singing Total Eclipse of the Heart the whole time.

You are Jim Steinman, and you have reached apotheosis.

ooooOOOOOooooh line delivery

that two week lapse back in october when i was obsessed with tanz der vampire

unstillbare gier rob fowler :3

I feel like if you stand by the fact that you think Thomas is an absolutely great Count von Krolock, you instantly become an outsider in much of the TdV fandom. That's not something that bothers me, but rather reinforces my decision. And after I recently had the chance to see him twice again in Stuttgart, my goodness, no one will ever be able to change my opinion. He is simply epic and that's it.

Snippet of Simon Loughton performing Die unstillbare Gier as Graf von Krolock from Tanz der Vampire. 😍🖤🦇

Euch Sterblichen von morgen Prophezeih' ich heut' und hier Bevor noch das nächste Jahrtausend beginnt Ist der einzige Gott, dem jeder dient Die unstillbare Gier.

Graf von Krolock in TANZ DER VAMPIRE 🩸

[sunny-honeytears]

you get bitten by a vampire and he pulls up in a fit like this what do you do

I took it on myself to be a good little hungarian and do a research (three google searches) about what Krolock would have worn as a nobleman in Erdély in the 17th century (i think thats the canon century they were alive-alive in???) and drew it, i have no idea what is on his head, are those feathers? Is that fabric? I copied a watercolor drawing so I have no idea

But what I know is 5 notes on this thing and I'll draw a thirst trap of him in this fit

Also I (tried and kinda failed to) base his head on Egyházi Géza who is one of the two amazing actors playing Krolock in the hungarian production (other one is Bot Gábor who I saw back in June and was GREAT) I'm genuinely inlove with his voice and his stage presence 😭

I'm pretty sure he is the one on the recording in the CD/Spotify version and guys istg i'm not into middle aged men BUT HIS VOICE grrrr THE WAY HE SINGS DIE UNSTILLBARE GIER OR THE WAY HE TALKS DURING THE ACT1 FINALE IM IN LOVE

so if anyone has 2 hours to listen to a version of Tanz der vampire GO FOR THE "Vámpírok bálja" HUNGARIAN RECORDING ITS SO GOOD

Graf's prophecy in Die Unstillbare Gier did not come true. In the next millennium, greed is not ruling humanity……depression is.
