This takes me back to when music videos were raw and when MTV "actually played" MUSIC VIDEOS! I saw SATB live in San Diego in 1991. They were good as ever and the hardcore fans were out in their 80's get-ups and hair. Where I live, this particular "goth" style which was MY norm in the 80's, has made a huge come-back & re-invented itself. You know the saying about trends,"so old, it's back in style"!
Hhmm...wish they would make a comeback with MTV, where it was "ALL MUSIC VIDEOS, ALL DAY".
I so feel you! That was probably their tour for "Superstition". AWESOME SHOW! I skipped my 5 year H.S. class reunion to go see them in my hometown of Philly! It was so worth it. @ that show, 2 16 yr. old teens sat in front of me & my sister. They got up & went to the bathroom. When they came back, 1 of them had 1/2 her head shaved. We still laugh when we remember that. LOL! Good times... good times. & btw: you're so right about MTV, VH1 et. all. Where's the music???
From Wikipedia: "The song was inspired by the story of Christine Costner-Sizemore, whose battle with dissociative identity disorder was dramatized in the film The Three Faces of Eve. Two of Christine's identities, the Strawberry Girl and the Banana Split Lady, are mentioned in the lyrics of the song."
I like the song, but the video...not so much. They could have done with something a little more creative. I like music videos that follow the song's story line.
And since Join hands (another cover my physics teacher shot) and the Mckay/Morris era had ended, the Banshees were always portrayed as a threesome in shots up until the JuJu album ...... Remember McGeoch was also doing stuff for Visage with Steve Strange and the great Magazine with Howard Devoto, so he was pretty much just a session musician with the Banshees for a while till Magazine split and people got bored of Visage and the new romantic scene ....
I once knew a girl called Christine. She was more of a wortleberry girl. Dressed in blue she convinced herself she had the characteristics of a gnu. I can honestly say she never disintergrated. She just mildly crumbled, occasionally.
Actually it was the late John McGeoch who plays guitar here but, since he was ill at the time of this video, Siouxsie didn't want him to appear ill and groggy on film so they shot the video showing only Siouxsie, Budgie, and Steve but, if you look closely, you can see the headstock of John's guitar on the far right pop in and out of view every now and then...
Actually you're wrong, yes McGeoch did play on the track, but he wasn't considered a Banshee at the time so he wasn't included in any shoot, the publicity shots for the Kaliedoscope album were just Siouxsie, Steve and Budgie, I know this because my old physics teacher shot the cover (Adrian Boot) and i was at the filming for this video when i was 19 ! (shot at Westway studios London) And the headstock you see on the right is actually a reflection of Steve's bass, John wasn't there that day !
Yeah, I guess you're right. I read that he was there in a Siouxsie book that documented the history of the band up till Peepshow.. I guess they got it wrong. Kinda strange how wikipedia says Budgie and John were made proper members of the band during the recording of Kaleidoscope, which would make John a Banshee at the time of the video. Oh, well... I guess I stand corrected. Thanks.
She's actually released a new solo album called 'Mantaray', and has toured a few places throughout Europe! I was lucky enough to see her earlier this year :)
I bumped into her at a Goldfrapp concert i went to with my Daughter last year ..... She was looking good, and was telling us about her new album ......
And let us all pray that this song never makes its way into Guitar Hero or Rock Band. This song stands as a testament to a time of simple yet well thought out rock songs. Music needs more artists like Bo Diddley (RIP), Siouxsie Sioux, Joy Division etc. Rock will never die...
Why not, guitar hero and rock band are a great way to introduce new music to those who never heard it before, you're not a sellout if you put your song and that game I don't think, the sex pistols and the Clash did, along with Dead Kennedys and X, I love the game and I would love to play it, I do play real guitar to by the way just not freakin that great so please don't be lame and use that argument.
Incidentally, I do play the guitar. But being a guitarist has nothing to do with it. I dislike the possible misrepresentation of image, associated with music found in guitar hero and rock band. I do enjoy both games, but it gets tiresome to have somebody hear you listening to a song that you liked long before the games existed, and still assume that you, like them, are into it because of the game. That's how I feel about The Fall of Troy. I don't want to feel that way about Siouxsie too.
this is one of those songs i've heard so many times in the 80s but i had never actually seen this video, who else but siouxsie could pull off her dark look with her cowgirl outfit! thanks for posting
Um, no, there is a music genre called Goth, the thing with Siouxise and the Banshees is they do everything. Who cares anyways, great music now matter what genre they play under ;)
Did I say Siouxsie was Goth???, and yes there was such thing, the term wasn't used that often back then. I never said she was Goth. I said the band it's self did everything(genre wise) thank you very much.
There wasn't Goth in the 70s, it was more wide spred in the 80s, and even then the therm "goth" wasn't used very often. Yes, Siouxsie is ver brilliant :)
Possibly my favourite band ever. I didnt really know what goth was in 1981 and still dont thank god, this is just great innovative music.
Siouxsie was all over my bedroom walls when i was a teen.
oh the memories!!
Bracknell Sports Centre 1981. Remember, Paddy O'Connell and Rikki Allen??? I remember hiding behind cars in the car park scared shitless of all the skins who turned up.
"I didnt really know what goth was in 1981 and still dont thank god" Yeah, cause Goths and Goth music is soooooooo bad*sarcasm*, just playin with ya :).
I was introduced to Siouxsie's music back when I was in high school, and was immediately hooked. Too bad she's not well-known in the United States, though she does have a cult following. I'd certainly take Siouxsie her over Britney Spears, whose half Siouxsie's age and is already a burned-out has-been.
Because of her, I also learned to appreciate British singers who use their normal accents, maybe that's one of the reasons her music's not popular in the States.
Lovely. It is a kinda "daring" music this, bechause they play some things you are "not supposed to in music".. Original, that is what we need today, creativity and a soul, and still it is so beautiful :)
She has a beautiful bone structure mother is French father British.Had a rather sad upbringing father was a chronic alcoholic actually died from it when she was 15.According to her she was on her own at a very young age,getting into clubs way before legal age.One of true performers has her own style very unique and almost impossible to emulate.
She's wearing the same Budweiser beer hat my drunk redneck uncle used to wear to the WInston 500 stock car races. It looks much better on her but I can't take my eyes off of it. It kind of ruins the video for me.
hypnotic is a good word for this song. there was a cd that came w/ mojo magazine where the members of u2 picked their fave songs and this was on the cd. great bass part.
...but I think that the bands listed below are inspired by the 80's sound but they make it their own, the sounds they're making are a resemblence of the 80s but with a more modern twist yet i agree with you Soulvlaki besides the 80's music is such a great sound to copy of

there is just so many great bands and talent back in the 80's. Pic any of these : Cure, A-ha, Psych Furs, The Smiths, The Cult, Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure, The Police, U2, Talk Talk, New Order, INXS, OMD, The Fixx, Tears For Fears...any one and listen to all there music. Just so much talent. Now what is there? coldplay and keane thank the universe!!
The like, interpol, kasabian, maximo park, editors, boa, the sounds, arctic monkeys, bloc party, desden dolls, garbage, radiohead, She wants revenge, sugarplum fairy, the fratellis, the killers, the view, hard-fi, the vines, jet, travis, placebo, the strokes, the walmen and much much more...
of course there are alot of great bands out there and i like some of those you mentioned but it's just how it goes...you always love the music you grew up to more than anything
i hate the music that's out now besides some bands, and i'm growing up. i mean, who wants to listen to the fallout boys, or panic at the discos? not me.
i agree with soulrebel27. cant imagine me liking the music thats around now when im older, specially seeing as i dont like it now. all the music i like seemed to stop being made around five years before i was born (94). SUCKS!
Anyone here hear (he're?) the BBC programme about poor Mr John McGeogh dying last year?
Severin said something like "yeah, loads of guitarists have tried to get the first chord of Christine, but they can't get it, it's a real McGeogh chord, completely made up."
Dude, it's an E one fret up. Everyone at home try it. It's extremely easy. I got it by HEARING it.
However, how the rest of the song goes is, as they say, real McGeogh.
It's vaguely like an E, f or f# but it isn't. As Severin says its a real McGeoch chord. The whole songs way more full of random chords then it sounds anyway.
Mmm. I've been trying to work out Spellbound for yonks. I think it's a song McGeogh has taken with him. Can't be done by mortals... I suppose that's how it should be, too.

Oh yes, in total agreement with you. I used to

almost: oh yes! She is the next Siouxsie!

...but I think that the bands listed below are inspired by the 80's sound but they make it their own, the sounds they're making are a resemblence of the 80s but with a more modern twist yet i agree with you Soulvlaki besides the 80's music is such a great sound to copy of

I agree with you, but they say the most of these bands are copies of the 80's.

of course there are alot of great bands out there and i like some of those you mentioned but it's just how it goes...you always love the music you grew up to more than anything

i hate the music that's out now besides some bands, and i'm growing up. i mean, who wants to listen to the fallout boys, or panic at the discos? not me.

i agree with soulrebel27. cant imagine me liking the music thats around now when im older, specially seeing as i dont like it now. all the music i like seemed to stop being made around five years before i was born (94). SUCKS!

Anyone here hear (he're?) the BBC programme about poor Mr John McGeogh dying last year?
Severin said something like "yeah, loads of guitarists have tried to get the first chord of Christine, but they can't get it, it's a real McGeogh chord, completely made up."
Dude, it's an E one fret up. Everyone at home try it. It's extremely easy. I got it by HEARING it.
However, how the rest of the song goes is, as they say, real McGeogh.

so in otherwords its an f

Ha, you haven't tried it then!
first chord: open E shape, but at 2nd fret (no barre)
second chord: regular E.
trendydelquendy 4 years ago
It's vaguely like an E, f or f# but it isn't. As Severin says its a real McGeoch chord. The whole songs way more full of random chords then it sounds anyway.

Mmm. I've been trying to work out Spellbound for yonks. I think it's a song McGeogh has taken with him. Can't be done by mortals... I suppose that's how it should be, too.
