The more I watch them, the more I appreciate how good they were at creating so many different harmonies, and using the voices of talents of all 4 so well together. Which is why, without Michael Steele, I just don't care for them nearly as much... especially since the remaining 3 seem hell-bent on pretending that Steele never existed (at least if you look at their website).
Damn it, cameras, stop focusing on Susanna. There are four people in the Bangles and three of them aren't her. (I know, Michael's gone and she is missed.)
@epsteinsmutha1 I agree. Columbia Records screwed things up royally by presenting Hoffs as the lead vocalist, when there was, in truth, NO lead vocalist, but 4 very talented and beautiful singer/songwriter/musicians whose songs got equal time on the albums.
@ghb61 Thank you for saying that. And the thing is, her voice grates on the nerves on certain sounds. I fast forward past tracks on the new album if it's not one where Debbie or Vicki are singing.
These things are a bit silly. Why doesn't the drummer get her traps? Do they make Michael play a toy bass? Or Susannah a toy guitar? Just makes no sense to me. Great vocals on this, btw.
I agree with everything you posted except I saw stuff to change me mind. I used to think that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were talentless hacks. Just put in LG's original name (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) and look at her stuff from 2005 or so - you'd be blown away. Also Katy plays a mean guitar too. I don't blame them doing what they need to do to get their foot in the door - I blame the industry but they're just catering to the mass audience - so basically it's all our fault.
This is a cool live version, but if you watch the original Less Than Zero era video of the rock-out song ( in HD)? Wow. Hotter than gasoline through a rocket fired into hell. And that's just my unnatural Vicki Peterson guitar lust obsession. Regardless? They never get respect they truly deserve. Hell with GaGa and Brit and Xtina and KatyPerry. Think THEY could PLAY real music or sing REAL vocals? Hardly. THIS is what girls should aspire to in music. Long live the Supersonic Bangs!
@3doorbrad you're right with Britney .. but Gaga is a great musician .. she can play many instruments (watch her performance with Elton John at the MTV Music Awards)
@Harmonlisa And take away the beautiful voice, the guitar talent, the eyes, the lips, the...and what have got? Nothing. But why would you take that away?
@3doorbrad RIGHT ON DUDE, THEY ARE AMONG THE BEST & THEY'VE ALL DONE A GOOD JOB OF KEEPING THEIR LOOKS & NOT GETTING OLD LOOKING., I'd bet none of them smoke or drink or eat fast foods. Most likely healthy foods to keep their energy.
There's a reason that the counter is at 11,000 and not 3 million. Put the less ugly girls in the background and let Susanna Hoffs perform. Damn! It's not rocket science.
I love Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson, Vicki Peterson and Michael Steele they are really awesome !!!! Please come back Michael Steele to the bangles band I really miss you !
LOL, some of the in-fighting continues I see.
