siouxsie and the banshees- carcass

[bakshay]

Be limblessly in love..and STF UP

[covcudec]

hahah randomness Gloria trevi!

[baddogmaine]

There are two kinds of bands that could do "Lord's Prayer" - a band that doesn't give a toss, and a band that thinks itself precious. The transition for the Banshees came remarkably early in their career. In 1977 they were punk like the Adverts, Siouxsie as bratty as Billy Idol (a good thing). By 1981 Siouxsie was Linda Ronstadt. The band would still play jangly chords but it was oh so calculated. Polly Styrene could have been singing about them. But Carcass? that was what it was about!

[sonicsteev]

i love this song!

[talissin]

This shows where Dark  comes from, Punk.

[Jakegothicsnake]

God, I wish my hips were more flexible like Siouxsies. But unfortunately I'm a guy and can't lift my thighs higher than my waist......>_<

[jhnbalance]

i dont believe it was 1977 when this was recorded . someone must be doing a mistake .it looks as if it about 1980 considering the haircut .

[mrbeautiful999]

@jhnbalance WRONG! that footage is at the Roxy club in London in 1977 during the 100 days along with Sex Pistols, the Damned, Slaughter and the Dogs, Subway Sect Xray Spex, the Slits etc.....

[carnelloe]

Nice perfomance and nautical stripes are back in fashion !

[CynicallyInsaneX]

Siouxsie looked so much different back then! Also, is that really Steven Severin on bass? He looks so odd without blonde hair!

[Jakegothicsnake]

@CynicallyInsaneX Yeah, when punk first started, he sported bleached blonde hair that was dyed black on the top and then later he gre it out a little and dyed it strawberry blonde. Come around the time Juju was being recorded, he bleached it to his standard blonde do.

[BorrarNota]

i just love the way she moves, she´s so magic, so amazing... so Siouxsie...

[vinto34]

i have this on dvd ,but has the album version overdubbed on it.I like siousxie,shes attractive.

[ExRat]

No it isn't. Sid only played ONE Banshees gig (their first) at the 100 Club Punk Festival.

[Khultan]

I just noticed now: the drummer looks like he's hammering away at who knows what. LOL

[Jakegothicsnake]

@Khultan Yup, that's Kenny Morris for ya.

[ChaseOnMars]

Siouxsie did it first.

[budgetmoon]

amazing to see this, great moves, like Ian Curtis, what a time!

[thespunk666]

Enorme !

Une putain d'énergie

Une putain de voix

[KafoNogueira]

now i wanna snif some glue.

now i wanna some thing to do...

all the kids wanna sniff some glue.

all the kids wanna some to do...

[Khultan]

I made the mistake of loaning my video, The Punk Rock Movie and my ENTIRE The Story of The Clash to a 'friend' Iin 1996 ...MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!

[1conniejean]

YOu made me appreciate that I still have my PunkRockMovie-I've also learned thru trial and error not to lend"friends" things sacred to my library-I'm sorry but I just wont do it anymore...A real friend will understand anyway huh

[Khultan]

Yeah, don't do it, 1conniejean. I lost so many record albums to 'friends', it really hurts me. I lend nothing to anyone.

[ditchthatzero]

this is fuckin' amazing. one of the best songs they ever wrote. the first 3 albums are phenomenal--really rare to see a band stay so consistently amazing.

[china027]

Awesome! Scream and Join Hands are my favorite Siouxsie albums/cds. I do own them all and enjoy all of the banshees, but the first 2 are the best of the best!

[Hellishhorse]

Aaah Loverly Souxsie-It all went downhill after Join Hands [me thinks]

[EmilieSagae]

Umm... Juju? A Kiss in the Dreamhouse?

[Hellishhorse]

Not for me.Sorry....not saying they are bad though.

[Jakegothicsnake]

@Hellishhorse Oh don't sound so defeatist mate. I think later works like Juju, Kaleidoscope, and Nocturne among others were just as great along with The Scream and Join Hands. :)

[Hellishhorse]

Ah-Jakegothicsnake-You [I think] are a young, shiny eyed,bushy tailed Goth.......I am an elderly,grumpy cynical Punk-being defeatist is a hobby of mine! [Souxsie is great at whatever she does!].H.Hx.

[vanuaturocks]

Extremely punk

[jangenk]

wow - the crowd & the banshees had a good time here!

[lovesGenet]

amazing how people who like music and have integrity but knew little formally musically wrote the best music of this period.I always love siouxsie .the Cure has become so obvious.Clash were good Pil were great ideas his bassist WOW! Gang of four .So little has gotten my attention since the bands now get mid of road so quick.the personality and integrity aint there!

[up2space]

yeah because they're all run by hippie yuppies. you think they want their kids blastin this at home. listening to the fakes has always been easier for the do as I say not as i did crowd.

[satyrboyjack]

@lovesGenet look up The Floating Corpses, or Veronica Lipgloss & the Evil Eyes, or The Stripmall Seizures, or The Phantom Limbs... those are just four of the amazing bands that came out of the SF bay area in the last 12 years that were part of this amazing dark wave/post punk movement that was happening here... i bet you'll love em

[Jakegothicsnake]

@lovesGenet I know...why just a few hours ago as I was surfing through the tv, I saw this commercial on the Disney Channel with this three boy that looked eeriely similar to the Jonas Brothers and I was like "WhaT??!! OH COME ON!!! WE DON"T NEED THIS SORT OF JUNK ANYMORE!! GIVE IT A REST!!

[may301985]

lol ok anyways this songs col i love siouxsie and the banshees too bad john mckay and Kenny Morris Abandoned the band but their better off ANyways ally sheedy shes hot in um that movie WAR GAMES~

[Gothkris]

SIOUX: YOU'RE MY LIFE!!!

[izzyfemmebot]

I think they should have included this in D.O.A. (another punk film)

[Ojaollo]

WTF are you dumb twats using this forum to discuss Madonna and "The Breakfast Club" for????

[EvilBerrie]

Actually, this is not even a forum.

It's just a space to comment on THE VIDEO.

[Hacker73]

This clip came from "The Punk Rock Movie" by Don Letts. HISTORIC.

[Nikkalime]

I love the little "limbless" dance she does.

[xgirlfiendx]

This is bad-ass.

[dangerousbri1]

I waws there, have you ver seen a beeter band live????????

[solwolfpunk]

No.

[metalfriekje]

she isn't singing very 'good' ..

[LadyAdoryan57]

Steve Jones said it" I can't play, you can't sing, let's start a band"

[sonnetxi]

the point is, siouxsie stayed true

[kafka33]

You really need to bone up on your Siouxsie and the Banshees History...this song is on an album called "The Scream"

[jblkx]

Madonna was lead singer in a band called "Emmy" in the late 70s and had dark short hair and performed the same type of music so its easy to get them confused here...except for the voice. Souxsie's voice is stronger than Madonnas.

[xugaxinha]

WHAT THE F*... AHAHAHAHA!!!

[aschenputtel85]

it is unbelievable that madonna has singed that kind of music!have you got any proof?

[solwolfpunk]

Madonna was in a pseudo fake punk band...as was Bono of U2 not the same band mind you

[solwolfpunk]

Madonna was trying to cash in on punk she was not the real thing

[xgirlfiendx]

I don't exactly think of Madonna as punk...not even close.

[solwolfpunk]

you are correct but before she was Madonna as we know her she was in a pseudo punk band. I forget the name of it.

[aschenputtel85]

what is pseudo?madonna was in a band called "the breakfast club".i remember seeing her in a documentary where she was singing punk.

[solwolfpunk]

LOL You found this. I was hoping you'd forget. Madonna was in a fake lame ass band. She sucked in it too. Not real and raw like Siouxsie.

[xgirlfiendx]

Rrrrright.

[secondskin08]

i believe that band was called the breakfast club ...she was the drummer ..before she dropped them and got envolved in the whole danceteria thing

[aschenputtel85]

lol!!! breakfast club was a movie!

[solwolfpunk]

Starring Ally Sheedy as the coolest character.

[aschenputtel85]

breakfast club is one of my favorite movie. when i saw ally sheedy on your web site, i thought i knew her from somewhere. now i remember she was in the breakfast club.she was weird. i love her.

[timninerell]

not modern madonna, madonna in like the late 70s early 80s

[ConcreteJerk]

that's siouxsie sioux not madonna.

[iammadedeath]

vvv That's either a very bad joke, or you're a moron. vvv

[ad1968]

I liked Madonna better when she had blonde hair. This is Madonna isn't it?

[xugaxinha]

No, this is Beladonna!!! Eheheheh

[solwolfpunk]

Now this is black humor.

[LadyAdoryan57]

NO!!!

[lgfuad4lyf]

wtf? um...its siouxsie sioux

[totenkopfdivision]

It's not playbacking, the syncs out a bit.

[Bobb9999]

In a recent year interview Siouxsie reflected on her past and said her own fave Banshees records are: The Scream, JuJu, Tinderbox (an l.p. of covers), and Peepshow.

Siouxsie's love of old horror flicks sure shows in those early albums, with black humour horror songs like Carcass (bestiality/necrophila/dismemb­erment, anyone?)!

[Bobb9999]

Oops... "Tinderbox" above is wrong. It should read "Through the Looking Glass" as the covers l.p. Siouxsie picked as a fave.

[solwolfpunk]

Was this a Severin lyric? It seems to obvious to be a Siouxsie lyric?

[Khultan]

1993 or 1994, was when I discovered TPRM and the London scene that had gone on 15 or so years earlier. And being true to form, I lent this to a friend and the rest is misery.

[warminator]

woderfull! Thats must have been quite early...4 skinny kids on a mission!

[lovesGenet]

great early material live !!!

[dontapefriends]

is it just me, or are they playbacking that song?

[ManilaSyndicate]

I noticed it too myself. Notice how the vocals go on when Siouxsie is not singing into the microphone.

[lycia69]

It's just you.

[shemseven]

Playback? ha ha. I don't think punk did playback live back then, do you?

[ManilaSyndicate]

Excellent song. The video is an archival treasure. Historic footage.

I can't help but feel quite drawn to Susan. What an oddly endearing gal.

[martinbrownart]

my friend Kenny playing the drums..where are you now ???

[Jakegothicsnake]

@martinbrownart last time that was checked, he's now running an art museum(or was it studio???) in Ireland.

[martinbrownart]

@Jakegothicsnake would love to know .

Yes I had heard he had moved to Ireland ,,but nothing more .

We were such good friends and then ..........

[Jakegothicsnake]

@martinbrownart Wait, you ACTUALLY knew Kenny Morris?? Wow! Anyways, I wish I could be of better help, but unfortunately I live in the United States and nowhere near the United Kingdom......I don't think he even has a myspace page or anything. I'm sorry.:(

[martinbrownart]

@Jakegothicsnake Yes we were great friends for maybe 10 years before and during

his Banshee years , but lost touch .

[sparklerdims]

this is from the Punk Rock Movie

[tobias89]

Great footage of when The Banshees were at their best with Mckay and Morris.

[rawheadjim]

this is actually pre-Mckay...it's the original guitarist P.T. Fenton on guitar

[lycia69]

Fenton was the second guitarist..Marco Pirroni was original

[lycia69]

Also, if I remember correctly at the time Fenton was blonde with freckles...I'm pretty sure that in this vid it is McKay and Morris...

[rawheadjim]

sorry, you're right...my mistake...this is Mckay...was thinking of that bad-shape video with Fenton on guitar.

[myfukinggod]

I am putting together a mass collection of these videos, check out my playlist entitled the history of punk! about 60 videos so far, save you the hassale of browsing

[woodycooks]

one of the most important bands in music history. Though I didn't much care for the Tinderbox L.P. and the following releases. Ju Ju is still my favorite!

[joecat01]

now legendary footage used in almost every punk documentary but first time I had seen the whole thing- great stuff

[metrakos]

yes brilliant

[dyna66]

Saw then here in Houston in 1981. This brings back some memories!

[cliffchapman]

Brilliant!!!

[vinny1917]

FUCKIN' AWSOME!!!

[mellysingsdoom]

Excellent stuff! D'you have any more footage from this gig?
