@Inglejuice - I may be wrong but I am guessing that you don't like her or her band...... ;-) Ha ha ha ha, always great to know! And it's always nice to allow others to enjoy what they wish to enjoy, isn't it? Isn't it?...........
Siouxsie and the Banshees were my first ever gig age 13 in 1978 before the Scream came out saw them lots after but tbh would hate to of seen them at a festival
I met Jools on a music course for The Prince's Trust when I was 18 (November '95). He was a lovely bloke. We had a nice little chat. I jammed with Ed Tudor Pole on the course as well. Nice memories.
MTV had a show in the mid 1990s called 12 Angry Jurors where regular viewers were brought into the studio to give their opinions on new music releases.
Siouxsie my IDOL looks so Beautiful! Wow the Brits think we Americans are cheesy as hell 😂. It wasn't a hit here either hahaha (talking about the Barbara Streisand song) I remember(Tony Hadley had a hit Here with TRUE by his band Spandau Ballet a big hit 🎯 in the US in the early 80s don't know what that says about that song if all we like here is crap! 💩 Idc I'll always love Music from the UK it is my very favorite type of music! My Parents raised me on it from their era the 60s & 70s (The Beatles). The 80s & 90s British music was the shiznit 💩 the bomb!💣
Of all the post war "moments" the very late 1980s is arguably one of the most charmless and resistant to revival. Hideous at the time, and unlike almost every other period, distance lends to it no greater enchantment. Jools Holland's "curtains" haircut pretty much says it all. It was a style disaster zone from which almost no one escaped unscathed.
Why can't we hear all the songs? We can only hear the first two and then the rest are cut out. Pointless to hear their opinions if you don't know what they're talking about! I'd like to see an uncut version.
Well I'm currently listening to the 3rd song as I write this ( Status Que ) so I've no idea what you're talking about EDIT we're now on the fifth song and I know what you're saying, I'm guessing it's down to copyright
@@jimmytgoose476 That being the whole point of the comment. Many a rebuttal "There's great music still....you just have to dig for it!". Apart from the likes of the BBC stupidly banning the odd record here and there (which only made people go out and buy, so they could hear why it was banned), it's amazing what got aired in the 70s/80s, you didn't have to slavishly toe the line, so bands like The Smiths, The Undertones, The Police et al, could be vehemently opposed to government policy & the establishment as a whole, and chisel into granite, their legacies as bands who will forever have the respect deserved of their work.
He said every type.... which is patently not true . I agree , the broadcasting landscape has changed but the fact remains that there is still amazing new music out there .
Isn't it interesting that Siouxsie's musical outlook is no different in the 21st Century. Esp. that line about a lot of music being, "...a cocoon for a voice, rather than competing with it..." The minute I heard that, I thought of the song, "Candyman", one of MANY songs where Siouxsie "competes" w/ The Banshees inimitable power.
Of course Electribe 101's Tell Me When The Fever Ended is the only track that still sounds great today. The album Electribal Memories was one of the best albums of 1990 and along with the Cocteau Twins Heaven Or Las Vegas the only cds I have worn out through over playing. Siouxie, come on love, its been a while, where are you????
I'd rather have listened to that Dee Lewis (I think was her name) track than the Stock, Aitken and Waterman crap that was every at this time. Other than that I agree with all the things Siouxsie said.
It was Salif Keita's "Nous pas bouger". It's funny because they say it's in French but only the chorus is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8k1BbF6Q8Kk.html
@@jimmytgoose476 I’ve often wondered about those bands. Are they taking the piss? Don’t get me wrong. I like heavy metal. I write for Rock Candy magazine and I’ve co-written two books on the subject.
In that case you should know they are serious . I was at school and college with one of Bolt Thrower and he took it very seriously . Search any of those bands on RU-vid and flick through the comments ; all three still have large devoted fanbases , bordering on fanatical in the case of Napalm Death. I went to Bolt Thrower's 25th anniversary gig , sold out 8 months in advance, and met people who had flown from Poland , New York and Sydney . No one does that for a joke band . When they walked onto that stage they were greeted like a victorious army returning to Rome . And i felt more than a bit of Coventry home boy pride for Baz and Martin 🙂
If you mean the jury, you mean Helen Lederer, mostly known as a comedienne rather than a music expert. Like Pop Quiz, JBJ would've been better with an all musician panel, but knowing the BBC, it was probably cheaper for them to use people who were regulars on a BBC tv/radio show.
These songs suck now and they sucked then. The Clash were cool, but BAD was BAD... I was into The Sugarcubes, N.I.N, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, Sonic Youth, The Smiths/Morrissey, Skinny Puppy... just to name a few in 1989. Siouxsie was an obsession with me along with Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, and Bjork... then came Sia (back when she showed her face), but I still dig her stuff on the radio.
Back in 1989, TV struggled with colour, so Siouxsie's face was a completely different colour from her neck, and Jools' hair was kinda black/pink/black/pink. Strange days. Frank Bruno was indistinguishable from his Spitting Image version. The overall impression I had was of claustrophobia, due to the stage set, and the limited selection of bland music. Mr Tony Bland himself said "I don't mind world music", which shows he is not a fascist moron.
Agreed Jeremy, mainly due to the effects of some great bands from earlier in the 80s/late 70s calling time. The record companies filled the gaps with....dross, and the record buyer in his/her mid 20s being outside of the major labels' buyer demographic for hit singles, whereas the 12yr old upwards was targetted with pop-tastic fluff. Made fortunes for the record companies, plus the mediocre acts being easier to control, why would the corporations controlling the business care that the music was SHIT, in the old sense of the word? Up to '86 it felt like a great era of music, but after that, even The Smiths had lost their magic. Another major snag in the UK, was the novelty record/one hit wonder rubbish that parents would buy, just never seemed to go away, and a bigger infestation that left a worse trail of destruction across the music scene: the actresses turned warbling wannabes eg Minogue. A screwdriver through the eardrums was very tempting, so I stopped watching the likes of TOTP.
Had to laugh at 18:36. Can you imagine the uproar there would be today. I wonder how many people picked up on it? not to mention the unabashed racism at 26:12.
@@cloverfield911 Of course it was not racist, I was being ironic, pointing the finger at today's triggered snowflake brigade who cry fowl at even the mention of the word 'black'. If you watch it back you'll see that Frank Bruno jokingly pointed the finger and made comment to Tony Hadley for saying such a thing.
@@michaelhanrahan5349 you're the one sounding triggered cause you felt the need to clear something up when nobody asked you 🤣 and wtf is a Snowflake? The frosting on the Christmas cookies I'm gonna eat this year😅
@@michaelhanrahan5349 so then which one is it ? Pick one. It's unabashed racism when he said White at the end but then its not really? and ppl are brigades and yadayada and.. weak nonsensical modern millennial sh*t " like what? 🥴😴
There were worse crushes than Siouxsie a young teenage punk could of had but she couldn't cast a shadow on either one of the utterly gorgeous ladies Gaye Advert or, (obviously) Debbie Harry. Yes, Ive had a drink...
@@lewisner Yeah she was lovely looking, sure enough, but this show would've worked better if all four judges were from the music business, better still, contemporaries of the people they were judging, rather than wheeling on someone whose last hit was 20yrs ago.
Sioux (looking right regal here)says some sensible things..plodding mediocre music is "dangerous" since it creates zombies........ *Bad* Mickey Jones, ...got himself an afro for the occasion ....twas no "hit" bytheway... his first two BAD singles were very good though....the unsubtle way he threw in that "I Can't Explain" sample in this ditty was downright amateurish....Bruno "You know"...... *what* does he "know"....? Dee Lewis.....Hey gurl... you look nifty ,but would you buy that mediocre sludge muzak yourself ? Although Juls "hopes" it would be a hit.....ain't that a right royal sycophant liar....no wonder he got himself a career for life at the bloddy bbc.....An applause for Michael 🐟....?.....something 🐠y going on there ?
Yet another boring song from Status Quo. I've heard them all my life, have most of their stuff, generally like this kind of thing. But blaahh! I'd rather eat glass.
@@ColumRogers They made some good psychedelic records in the 60s and some good rock records in the 70s but by the 80s they were middle aged and boring.
@@Philliben1991 Yes, if my old man was a big fan, aged in his 50s, it rather puts their music into perspective and just WHY they went from "heroes for Suzuki X7/Yamaha RD250 riders" on Radio 1 to "the venerable rockers" on Radio 2. It all starts to get "denim jeans worn with waistband just under the nipples" or "Status Quo...21 Golden Greats, out now, and a free incontinence pad with every copy."
I thought Frank Bruno was the best....as for the others! Helen, never thought she was ever funny, and Siouxse, how self important..Dee Lewis great little number. My opinion only.
Robin Ferris Maybe for pop. But underground music was powering full force ahead. It's kinda sad how a lot of people ignore great music in the late 80's as if there was nothing else happening.
Bloody hell! Does this look dated or what? Having said that, the 1980s were dated while they were happening. It was quoted on several occasions that the decade imitated the 1930s, which was a very accurate description.
You're talking out of your arse. 80s music was and still is more progressive than most of the shite we endure in the charts these days. And any decade is 'of it's time' - not a difficult concept really.
@@TheOptimod The start & middle of the decade were so much better than its end, and it's the groups like The Smiths/The Police/Echo & The Bunnymen/Simple Minds/Big Country and so on, who have the teens/twenties of the era wishing for a time machine, and the kids of today wishing they'd been around in the 80s.
