Cities In Dust - Siouxsie & The Banshees - Decibels - 04/05/86

[MrBeanerschnitzel]

It's like echo and the bunnymen meet concrete blonde and then totally go somewhere else...awsesomeness

[JhonnyArtandMedia]

She has complete command of the viewer. Only 1 other person I've ever known like that, but being a man, that makes him only half as good.

[jaghoff]

I'm SOOOO glad I was 26 when this was released. I got to listen to and experience that period of music and culture, stoned outta my fucking mind, with limited gainful employment.

[rhessex]

where are they?

[mysterycity23]

@fegustam. Yes. It sure does.

[skeleman1963]

"...But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend / ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend / We found you hiding, we found you lying / Choking on the dirt and sand ..."

[MuscleThings]

awesome footage!

[XellKamikaze]

Why do I get the feeling Carruthers is a big Johnny Marr fan?

[ProfessorMc2]

Bordering on the Mystical

[buffalo121969]

They got there inspiriration for this tune after visiting POMPEII in Italy.

[10Hours1Minute]

Carruthers was best Souxsie guitarist.

[whitemagic70]

I love Siousxie but hate retape and lip sync - She's too good to not perorm live :)

[KunJieBentRoy]

See Budgie in his leotard....F***ing LOVE IT

[mef1975]

Horrible bit rate.

[ghostcar]

Robert Smith used to play in this band - in essence, he also, continued the goth look and feel with the Cure. But Souxsie was the original, not to mention very experimental, always pushing the music into new territory. I love this band for just that reason. They seemed fearless. Thank you S and the Banshees.

[eelpieballox]

fuck smith,, he's like morrissey with make up on,, a downer,,

[mikebott]

i love that brocade shirt !

[LoogieV]

what kind of clothin are they wearing?

[nobbilc]

Carruthers looks like Robert Smith's bastard offspring and Severin looks like a dodgy tranny that stole his mum's earrings for the night !

[graemereaper]

@nobbilc Carruthers was the 2nd best Banshees guitarist after McGeoch. A waste of a talent.

[domovik6232]

Sync'ed

[MYSTICLADY40]

I think siouxsie looks slightly menatally deranged on this but in a good way

[fegustam]

[Erasercuts]

@fegustam 'Oh your city lies in dust'

[siouxallen]
