Daniel had become friends with Peter Murphy in his teenage years. Daniel went to art school and Peter to work in a printing factory. They met up five years later and Daniel suggested forming a band. Rigging up a makeshift rehearsal space, Daniel played an Echo 12 - bar blues, while Murphy sang a series of newspaper articles. Four weeks after, they formed Bauhaus, and recorded "Bela Lugosi's Dead".

That song, issued in 1979, became the cornerstone of the Goth Rock movement. After nearly five years of recording and performing, Bauhaus broke up and Daniel put together Tones On Tail with Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins. That group changed into the highly influential Love And Rockets in 1985, when Bauhaus bassist David J came aboard.

Guitar: The guitar is a stringed musical instrument. It is generally played with the fingers of the left hand. The right hand plucks the strings with either the fingers or a plectrum, (guitar pick). The sound is produced by vibrating strings, which in turn resonate the body and neck....

Bauhaus: :Alternate use: There is also a British rock band named Bauhaus....
