Simply spellbinding, listening to Siouxsie sing live here really makes me feel. My heart bleeds of raw emotion of the most purest, simply stunning. And the guitars just want to make me scream in tears and life. Divinity +
I will never forget the first time I saw Siouxsie live. I was so excited and filled with so much happiness and when her Royal Gothness took the stage all I could do was cry. I screamed and cried like my mom did for Elvis.
Getting old sucks, I wish I could go back to those days when life was hard but great and the music and life style filled you with immense joy. OGWT introduced me to some great bands all of which I adore to this day.
getting old means you remember it .... imagine you were old when your saw this live ... now you'd be dead.... and as a poster down the pg notes 'Great thanks to the inventer of RU-vid'
I have absolutely zero cartilage in my knees now from my 1980s slam-dancing days at my favorite punker bars. But maybe they'll start one just for us who have to use walkers? 😂 I love her music very much and makes losing cartilage well worth it!
Siouxsie and the banshees what amazing band with a gorgeous singer called Siouxsie .wow Siouxsie you are a legends in the punk rock music 🎶 🎵 fantastic vocals by Siouxsie Great song 🎵 melt 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
You know, Siouxsie is mesmerizing and actually hypnotising to watch dance on "The Staircase Mystery" Promotional Film/Video from "79! What an ENCHANTRESS is SUSAN JANET "SIOUXSIE SIOUX" BALLION!
I abstained from listening to this band for the entire month of February. My reasons are twofold: 1. I couldn't think of a bigger musical sacrifice 2. I now appreciate them so much more after a month-long absence.
Before computers avent, musicians created or paid tribute to their idols. But they always invented something new. Today they copy or commit plagiarism.
It was a pity John McKay left the band as it was his guitar sound that really defined the band and was what Robert Smith was really covering, though I think it really changed the sound of the cure too.
@@user-yv2cz8oj1k McKay's guitar sound defined the EARLY Banshees sound. But the remainder was defined by the brilliant John McGeoch and his amazing work on "Juju" and the LP these cuts are from, "A Kiss in the Dreamhouse". It's his parts Smith is trying to cover here. And straining to try to do so. And his long shadow that's cast over every subsequent Banshees guitarist. Siouxsie herself has said McGeoch was her favorite guitar player ever.
Saw Siouxie and The Banshees live in Paris in Spring 84, and Smith was playing the guitar... Even if I am still listening to The Cure up to these days, he couldn't match Mc Geoch's genius...!
I love how Siouxsie Sioux made her first apearance on television where Bill Grundy interviews the Sex Pistols. She starts flirting with grundy just fucking around with him, and he tells her "Maybe We'll meet up after.. " haha. Ironically Sid Vicious was a member of Siouxsie and the Banshees for a short period of time. he played drums.. Then Robert Smith of the cure of course was their guitarist. When he told the band he was leaving to spend more time working with the cure. He was told "Why leave a sure thing, It's not like you will ever get anywhere with it."... I forgot who exactly said it, my dad told me that when I was like 12 or 13. But who ever said it got put right in their fucking place. hahahaha.
I felt Steve Jones's behavior was on that show was one of the most disgusting and repulsive things I've ever seen on television! What gratitude! Mr. Grundy had them on his show to help give them exposure and find out what they're all about and he gets verbally insulted by Jones!
@@raulmacias1311 The Sex Pistols were a last minute replacement when the scheduled band cancelled and Grundy was drunk and sleazy. He goaded Jones and got the response he deserved. It was the moment that launched the Sex Pistols into the mainstream and it could easily have never happened, had Grundy acted like the professional he was supposed to be.
Siouxsie's just so original.. Would be really cool if Robert rejoined the Banshees should they ever do a farewell concert DVD.. They are the two most important artists of their genre outside of Peter Murphy IMO..
@@yuragevko5693 Because she was powerful and commanding on stage, yet was not begging for the audience's adoration. She wasn't chatty on stage. Her black, spiky hair, pale skin, sometimes made up to look ghostly, her piercing blue eyes (sometimes tinted to look more striking), usually framed by black eye make-up, and her rebellious, indomitable facial expressions, gave many the impression that she was something otherworldly and unapproachable. Her lyrics were also beautiful, in a usually off-kilter, surreal way. Thus, a 1970s British music magazine tagged her, "The Ice Queen".
Ice Queen reminiscent of the Ice Queen who froze Narnia in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe .... regal, aloof, other worldly.........for an Ice Queen she was always super hot......
Gorgeous stunning sexy siouxsie with her fantastic vocals and brilliant lyrics What amazing singer siouxsie you are the goddess of punk music 🎶 🎵 what a beautiful song 🎵 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Go watch the 1979 Jukebox jury with Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols, they have a Banshees track on and they all said it would be a hit except Sid who was just being contrary to the rest of the panel at that point. 😀
