Siouxsie & The Banshees - Into The Light (BBC Session 10/2/81)

[ThePmvisions]

so sad that i just learned of her...where have i been all these years...love this!

[zaakootis777]

other than sweetest chill this is my fav song from them. I can listen to this all day

[rokn50s]

This song is really good. I remembr listening to siouxsie when i was a lil grl cuz of my parents n im stil listening to her. Her music is so great ill nevr stop. Frm. Ms shadows

[warminator]

I`m so greatfull for the BBC sessions, as all the songs seem to have a better quality.All instruments (and voice) come out with such brilliance. however, Mc Geoch did`nt seem to use the "gizmo" on this version.

[wmfivethree]

Each performance I experience from Siouxie & co. leaves me more amazed. I was a little young to be "allowed" to listen to this stuff during the '80's (preteen), or to appreciate it properly. Powerful, lovely, terrible (in the original sense!) music. Beats the hell out of (shudder)

Gaga and such. Plus if you look beneath the makeup, she's even more incredible looking!

[pursey2]

I'm on the RIGHT side of youtube! ha!ha!ha!

[dekkyboy1]

[jrmetmoi]

She looks like a pretty tarantula here

[DrGrotesk]

juju is one of the best records ever ...

Beguiling tune! The Banshees are a FUN band.. distrust who claim otherwise

You're very welcome!



[wintceas]

thank you very much!

[VlogKing]

You're very welcome!



[Elijah2x]

This is my fav version of the song. Siouxsie gives everything...

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I mean this with all due respect in the world, but Siouxsie looks like a member of KISS in that photo.

Btw, I love the strong emphasis on the guitars in this version, compared to the album version.

[Angeloskies]

thank you for posting this ^_^

so sick!

[VlogKing]

You're welcome!



[MegaKramden]

Recently went through my vinyl to see what I could sell because Im out of work and things are tight . Found Souxsie and the banshees "the scream " "Dear Prudence , E.P. " and the peel sessions , but I don't seem to have all the stuff thats showing up now !

[lewisner]

@baldur1377 The "flame" comment was light hearted. I've loved Siouxsie and Robert's music most of my life so I guess I'd be classed as a fan. But some fans take their shit ultra serious and start flaming you if they think you are criticising their idols. You know the sort of person I mean?

[virusbell]

lovely mix girls



[dummmmm76]

my favorite

[LosingtimeDK]

OMG ...Juju 1981....used to sing along to this volume up HIGH......pure timeless excellence!

[fabribre]

Great version!!!! I like this song.

[burpvom]

 John's guitar sounds like an orchestra.

[lewisner]

Question (don't flame me because I love Siouxsie) Did Robert Smith get his "look" from her or vice versa?

[VlogKing]

I'm pretty sure Robert got his look from her. Siouxsie & Steven claim that Robert's use of lipstick started when they were at a club, Robert asked to borrow Siouxsie's lipstick and returned wearing it. Robert's thoughts on the matter are quite different, Robert: "No, I wore lipstick at school. I copied my lipstick from my mum, not Siouxsie, although there are similarities between the two. I've worn make up to varying degrees since I was 13, but I do wear less now than I used to."

[lewisner]

@VlogKing Interesting, thanks. I suppose it's obvious when you think Siouxsie pretty much looked this way by 1978 but Robert didn't

[pernillc]

@VlogKing i dont know ,but i think of Robert Smith as a man with a good sense of humor, and telling lies in interviews are part of that. His lipstick is on the outsides of the liplines for a reason, i would like to think of as a symbol of how we look should not matter in any ways. A kind of "i dont care how i look, look" but he is an artist and he does something creative about it, something that makes the whole package of art The Cure is, even stronger.

[pernillc]

@VlogKing ...so i dont think he got the idea of using lipstick from Siouxsie nor his mother. I don't think mom's in England wore lipstick that way... but a good joke from him, to put that visual on our minds.

[VlogKing]

According to Robert, he copied using lipstick from his mum, but he probably modified Siouxsie's use of lipstick on himself.

[virusbell]

@pernillc it was 1979 and siouxsie and the Banshees released Join Hands....the Cure was into a forest but a lot of maleees wore lipostick 'cos of Bowie or Japan and the inevitable Kabuki theatre connection...personnally, I don't remeber R' Smith wearing lipstick until '83 at the earliest.....by which time Steve Strange, Duran Duran and the Spandau Ballet stuff had come and gone and been forgotten so the speculation can cease...but hey ...even I forgot Pete Burns and Nightmares in Wax

[Mr1ROYHUGHES]

@lewisner

she done this look first, i remember, then robert smith they both looked as good though loved the cure too

[lewisner]

@Mr1ROYHUGHES Yeah she has better legs than Robert though! The Cure were one of the greatest bands in the charts in the 80's for sure.

In the 90's I used to go in a pub in Victoria and they had the full version of "A Forest" on the jukebox. When I put it on you could see the (Australian) bar staff saying "WTF?" to each other then sneakily turning the volume up!

[sibeliandrift]

FARKIN HELL!!!!! NEVER HEARD THIS AWESOME VERSION!

[GuroSanzo]

Definitely, my favourite track from "Juju".

[poolsidenyc]

Pretty badass.

[joby613]

Dude! You are awesome!! I've been looking for this for eons! Thanks for sharing.

[VlogKing]

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

[ILZ31989]

You like to use capitol letters a lot.

[VlogKing]

I think the photo is attracting people to watch the video.

[ILZ31989]

[jacenK]

[WoodRatGirl]

Stunning song and picture.

[CaptainScarlet500]

pureswitch, the picture originated from myself. I posted it onto the Banshee forum a while back. :-)

[pureswitch]

@CaptainScarlet500 what a beautiful picture,don't know where you got it from but i'll go onto the forum to see if i can find it. Thanks captain.

[CaptainScarlet500]

email me and i'll send it. (sent you a message)

[leinad323]

I adore this song

[skywalker74]

Stunning performance of one of their best songs.... one of many great songs.

Best band ever.

[VlogKing]

I completely agree with you!

[pureswitch]

This has always been in my top ten banshees songs and the peel session version is superb aswell. Keep em coming Vlog.

[VlogKing]

"Into The Light" is a fantastic song and Siouxsie looks so awesome in this picture! Thanks for watching!

[pureswitch]

@VlogKing Where did you get that picture ? i've got hundreds but not that one. i've got to have a copy.

'

[VlogKing]

I got it on the Banshees & Other Creatures Forum. Someone had posted it in the "Band Related Discussion" area. There are over 60 pages on that forum so it will take forever to find but if I see it again, I'll probably remind you.

[pureswitch]

@VlogKing Thanks. I'll have a look later

[Riksioux]

always loved that song and the way she sings it,by the way, had not seen that pic of her,

[VlogKing]

I love this version of "Into The Light" as well. Yes, the picture of Siouxsie here is very cool & rare.
