@jettfan64 Yes, it's odd, but it is what it is. Supposedly her real name is Susan. She was one of the original members of the Runaways before she got in a fight with their manager (guy was a prick apparently) so decided to quit. He told her she blew her only chance to become a rock star then. Heh...
@80sMeavyHetal It's the bass that drives this song, IMO.
To those who say they're not playing their instruments here (apart from the drum/whistling synth) - are you deaf? Yes, the sound is bad, but you can hear Steele hitting her bass and sliding fingers across the strings at 1:27 and probably the only time I ever heard Hoff's guitar next to Peterson's in this song is at 2:53.
wait but then they came back cause sussana hoff convinced them to get back now in 2004 micheal steele left the band again i really like her too i cant imagine why she left a gain now only 3 remain today !!!
Bangles really rock. They always looked so sexy and at the same time kinda preppy when singing. Love them always. Remaind me my times when I was in college at Jefferson State in Birmingham Alabama...yahooo!!
I always liked the Peterson sisters the best. Though to be honest, all four of them were very beautiful girls/women. From what I see they still are. The it seems Steele is not longer in the band.
oh man...the *hoo* by susanna at 2:48 really makes me melt..ahah..jay roach is one lucky bastard..moving on..i'd totally ask vicki out if only i wasnt born years too late..haiz...ah damn it i'd ask all 4 of them out at the same time
Susanna's strength has always been her magnificent voice, stage presence/showmanship, and incredible beauty, sex appeal, and playful mannerisms, but as a guitarist she's very mediocre. Don't misunderstand me, music does not need to be complicated to be beautiful or enjoyable but complexity is necessary for someone to be considered a virtuoso as an instrumentalist.
I've always liked the Bangles sound but I wouldn't go all gaga that they played their instruments. Vicki and Debbie Peterson and Michael Steele while not virtuosos are competent players on their respective instruments. However, Susanna Hoffs, as beautiful as she is, is not a particularly good guitarist. She certainly is capable enough to strum chords on the relatively simple music that the Bangles play but uses a capo alot to compensate for more complex chord structures she can't play.
Sprintbass Susanna Hoffs is not playing a Ric 620. The 620 has a different body shape and is a solid body instrument. Tom Petty is holding a 12 string 620 on the cover of Damn the Torpedoes. The lovely SH is holding a Ric 350 which is a full scale version of the 325 and like the 325 is a semi-hollow body instrument. Also hers has an "R" tailpiece instead of the Accent vibrato found on the Ric 325-- which is of course the guitar John Lennon played.
mmmmthis is when woman looked like woman..notice how they are all wearing dresses? stockings too!! hoffs is playing a rickenbacker 620...she had her own model for a time...its basically the same guitar john lennon used.
Wow Vicki actually soloed! I like the Bangles, but it always seems that their live videos seem a bit sterile with almost no improvisation. It's as if they are their own best cover band. Does anyone know of any concert footage of them jamming?
Ummm. Hummm. I see we have some non-Bangles fans here. "Tambourine girl" is the band's drummer, Debbi Peterson. She's also a fine singer. This particular song didn't require her work on drums, so they brought Debbi out front to shake her, yeah, tambourine.
lol, I noticed that...don't know what the deal was, lol, but even level-headed Susanna was having a hard time keeping it together for some reason, lol! Great to see them, though...Susanna's as cute as ever now
This was excellent. Just excellent!!! I really prefer the live true performances of the Bangles, instead of the lip synched ones!!! The Bangles rule!!!
Susanna is playing the "Susanna Hoffs" Rickenbacker 350 signature model that Rickenbacker Guitars produced. John Lennon also played a Rickenbacker at one time, but obviously not the "Susanna Hoffs" model.
This was good. Most of the TV clips were lip-synched. It's great to see one that wasn't. All three singers are good, but Susanna's voice just melts me...and she is still smokin for being almost 50 now.
Micki has always been my favorite. What a great, talented, playful, stunning gal!
