Siouxsie and The Banshees - Pulled to bits

[wiccaghirl]

Love siouxsie from day one. We r like twins. Everyone says.

[ilardark]

divine........

[afterthebombs]

the song's called: blown to bits not pull to bits haha

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

Severin and Budgie are SO GOOD. Pity Siouxsie can't whack that tambourine in time.

I bought the DVD (already had the vinyl) for this song (and Cascade). One of my favourite eras of music. This album + Blue Sunshine. Love it.

[badsign1980]

i always felt that the banshees where connected with the goth black leahter heroin scene of the 80s, but amazingly they never touched drugs, but their music is so inspired by the outcast, the rejected and their gloomy horrible lifes, depression of the 80s... berlin wall etc

[adaand605]

sorry to disappoint you, but they touched it..

[babajishe]

robert Smith on the guitar:)

[MysterioEffect]

Fantastic Mystic Cool Vibes!!!!!

[XellKamikaze]

Robert Smith was a brilliant guitarist, but he didn't nearly play with as much heart and soul on this song as McGeoch did.

[earthlingcool]

The Banshees will go with me to my grave. I love their talent and her voice is amazingly strong and clear. Someone who is trully passionate about her art. Many of their lyrics have inspired me to paint or to title my work as such. I have loved them since I first came across them in mid 80's no one has come anywhere near since.:)

[aetechllc]

Incredible band, so far ahead of their time. Lyrics like poetry, music like anthems. Thanks for posting!!!

[Lucifer986]

not ahead of there time, in a time of there own. considering music know days is garbage/

[aetechllc]

I more than agree with you!

[Cybervue]

best song...EVER.

[stephan96]

At 1:53 she looks so sad.

[CharlyxR]

it sounds like Cedric, i mean, Cedric sounds like her.. who is she?

[tarnie]

She is Siouxsie Sioux, The Mars Volta made a cover in their studio album "The Bedlam in Goliath". She and her band were pretty famous in 80's.

[yourinurine2]

why did it cut out ?Y not carry on with "nightshit"?,,,,no complaints ,,i enjoyed the video and will move on for more of siouxsie

[mellisb]

@yourinurine2 are you retarded or jut deformed?

[yourinurine2]

well your stpuid or illiterate? the next video was nightshift so they should have just played it through,,so now what? carry on with the name calling or kiss and make up?

[may301985]

FUCK MARS VOLTA HOW DARE YOU TRY TO PROMOTE THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE COVER THEY DID FUCK YOU Siouxsie and the banshees is the best MARS VOLTA Sucks BALLS

[stratocastermaster2]

ah cmon, be nice.

[hairface13]

no.

[may301985]

yES MARS VOLTA SUCKS THEY Fuckedup at the drive in NOW THEY TRY TO FUCKUP SIOUXSIE FUCK THAT

[hairface13]

so what you're saying is that they fucked up at the drive in by being a better band and the sole reason they covered pull me to bits was to fuck up siouxsie and the banshees? you smart sir.

[DeLoused777]

They are both good. Cedric from TMV always says that they "tried" to cover it, out of modesty and respect.

[ale71att]

Absolutely wonderful!

[Mooshytaka]

awesome song

i love the mars volta cover more though, everyone should check that out

[may301985]

i can recommend start off with BANSHEES ALBUM THE SCREAM THAN SKIP TO KALEIDOSCOPE THan CHECK OUT THE JUJU ALBUM go from there

[mommyimadeapoopy]

she is absolutely beautiful...

[Foxglove999]

Perfect!

[02madre]

it's not juju you dink, it's ''night shift''. real siouxsie fan here! hahahaha.

you should research before you make a fool of yourself

[shasaki2]

what is the song that starts at the end?

[SaraSwank]

Night Shift

[shasaki2]

Thanks, I have all the discography of siouxsie and the banshees, and I was wondering where I should start. Could you recommend a few songs?

[SaraSwank]

i haven't all the siouxsie's discs so i'm afraid you have more songs than me :P

[IleanaCosanziana]

Juju.

[stevobath]

@shasaki2 JU JU Good album. The Scream. Most of them! NOCTURNE LIVE, with Robert Smith on guitar. This vids from Nocturne

[uzickimajmunac]

@shasaki2 sin in my heart

[Gregory4]

@shasaki2 the koolest thing about the Banshees is that EVERY album is different from the one before and the one after...then, there's the Creatures to contend with.....you'd do best by starting at the beginning....even the bsides are exemplary.........this is one band that NEVER sold out and still remained completely original and uncopied........well, after the Cocteau Twins and the Cure (who DID, in fact, copy the Banshees!)

[methadrone]

amazing.....

[harmony1c]

IS anybody there...? This is gorgeous.

[SaraSwank]

yeah

[harmony1c]

Thank you for sharing this...She was THE powerful woman for so many of us growing up as girls in a very male dominated world, even musically/creatively...and I love that she took her name from the native American tribe.

[imafractal]

holy crap!!!! my favorite siouxsie song. thank you so much!!!

[duerdenn]

This is so much better than the studio version...SteveSeverins bass is amazing&RobertSmith on guitar shows what a great job he did after the departure of JohnMcGeoch(RIP)

I believe Smiths input to the Banshees was mutually beneficial to all concerned at this time-something which seems to still rankle Siouxsie judging by her ungracious remarks about Smith in the offical Banshees bio.

Anyway-Banshees,Cure,Glove,Cre­atures-all great bands!!!-thanks for posting!!!

[harmony1c]

whats this about the Smiths...could you cite the info source, please. Thank you!

[seanytwonk]

I think Robert smith's influence was meant (he was in the banshees twice I think) but Morrissey (ex-Smiths frontman) did a duet with Sioux called 'interlude'. I think that's where any confusion starts.

[imafractal]

i was convinced there was no studio version. i have had 9 or 10 siouxsie albums and never heard it. i know you say it's not as good but still want to hear it. what the fuck album is it on?!

[neillieb]

It was the b-side to... can't remember. Sort of Join Hands period. . . . . Google for the b-side.

[seanytwonk]

imafractal,

It's not on an album, it's the B-Side of "Playground Twist".

[tallpaul530]

oh but it is theres an album called upside down all the banshees b-sides on polydor

[stevobath]

@duerdenn I think she was jealous about the reception the Cure were getting, as they were supporting the Banshees when John left 1-2 dates into the tour! They did try a couple of guitarists, but Bob Smith knew ALL the Banshees stuff! Seamless.

[nurela2007]

wooooooow !!!

[Eskimosongs]

...from Nocturne. Fellow Cure members during this period feared Robert would leave & join the Banshees, cos he enjoyed the lack of pressure, not being the lead, & also The Cure's future at this point was not certain. Strange to think how at this point, The Banshees future was more certain than the Cure's, funny how things change xxx.

[may301985]

God i love this song its such a NUMBER SONG TO play after POPPING 4 OR 5 DARVOCETS OR 6 vicodons woooo I LOVE THIS SONG RUBER JAMMMS ITS ROwdy on the 12 string I LOVE U SIOUXSIE SIOUXSIE LONG LIVE JOHN MCGEOCH

[gtralisfr69]

I hate to sound like a dumb guy but shes so fucking hot

[sknywhtboy88]

wow, that was an amazing preformance. Different than the studio. Not better, deffinately more textured and professional sounding, but it doesnt have as much punk additude as the studio version. That doesnt make it better or worse, just has a deffinate shift in mood.

[peacesquid]

Rob's guitar is amazing on this. Totally flowing and awesome but understated at the same time. He's pretty much only second to Geordie from Killing Joke.

[chevpowr]

the voltas version is just amazing. and this is terrific too. i think i could listen to it over and over and over

[VacantPsalm]

I have been, probably heard each of them over 30 times.:P

[ajittffcure]

Interesting bass lines by Steve Severin. Nice to see Robert Smith here! Good song.

[psychopomp88]

apparently The Mars Volta is covering this on the deluxe edition of their upcoming album

[crazymigit182]

yeah, and it was actually just leaked

[psychopomp88]

yes i just heard it today :) i like it a lot

[crazymigit182]

same here, its really good

[medvind]

what's the song they start to play at the end?

[SaraSwank]

night shift

[medvind]

thanks!

[solwolfpunk]

Siouxsie's best song

[TrippyLantern]

And oddly enough it doesn't appear on any of their studio albums

[solwolfpunk]

I have it on the B-Sides. It's very nerve wracking on that album because there are the sounds of children screaming during the entire song.

[AsparagusSpears]

Yeah and the guitars are really warped. I guess it's 'cause it follows on from the end of playground twist

[kannonblack07]

I LOVE VOICE OF SIOUXSIE SIOUX!!!

[Dagarvs]

that little bit of Night Shift at the end kills me!! i bought this on vynil TWICE when it came out, so i would always have it. but this here is all i've ever seen from the vid of the show

:\

[kannonblack07]

MARVELOUS!

[solwolfpunk]

Siouxsie's newest "into a Swan" can be seen in my vlog.

[greyagain]

nice

hope one day four of them will be back for one live show

as well

:)

[peacesquid]

this is so fantastic. Robert Smith, man.... how good is he on this entire concert!

[lordnapier]

anyone know where i can get the bass tab for this??

[EarthIntruders]

Great song, how come u left the intro to nightshift at the end? lol

[SaraSwank]

I fucked it up, I don't handle too much movie maker :S

lol

[solwolfpunk]

My favorite Siouxsie and the Banshees song.
