Switchblade Symphony on Reality Check TV(1996)

[emorazorblade666]

What happened to good music.

[glitterdust40]

@emorazorblade666 I have been wondering that myself ~ for me I think it was sometime after the 90*s ended ... LOL ♥♥

[emorazorblade666]

@glitterdust40 I mean, I do like today. But sometimes I wonder what happened and why!

[louco70]

beautilful

pretty

switchblade symphony forever!

[djargus]

This is just my theory, but I think I know why Switchblade Symphony broke up just based on the first few seconds of the interview. Tina isn't Goth, she seems to be just a 'Valley Girl' who has a good voice and somehow fell into the scene. I base this by the way Tina talks and acts in the interview. It is no surprise to me that she created a bad cover band called Tre Lux, she doesn't have any talent to do anything but cover other people's songs. Susan Wallace alone was Switchblade Symphony.

[japierdolehehe]

@djargus tina root wrote lyrics.

[KabbalahWestCoast]

@djargus SO WRONG--Tina has major vocal and musical talent! Yeh--she real and Goth Princess! LoveUGodbless TJ KABBALAH MATTHEWSHEPARD MADONNALICIOUS PS R U BLOWN AWAY THAT SHE IS FROM THE VALLEY? WTF--SHE RULES! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

[KabbalahWestCoast]

@platypus777 u r just a zobie and woman hater--get a clue lamb! Tina kicks A! no one sings as good as Siouxsie and she does!

[KingJapanPUA]

I know Tina went and did Tre Lux after SS, but does anyone know what happened to Susan after they broke up?

[quoth09]

@KingJapanPUA - word has it she is a massage therapist somewhere. I have heard that from too many people, not sure if it is true or not.

[Cute0Little0Pumpkin]

Oh god I wish I was older so I could have experienced them in all their glory! they are my all time favourite band <3

[Sabreeshuh]

1:40 what song is that?

[vincedoomreaper88]

@Sabreeshuh It's "Dollhouse" from Serpentine Gallery. :)

[CultofJ]

I had the chance to watch them at the house of blues but couldn't get there due to car problems. Not long afterwards they called it quits. Really hate that I missed that performance.

[MrBloodHydra]

I love switchblade, have since I was a teenager and thats been a long time but in the interview where she is talking about shooting the video and her room burning i swear you cant even keep up with how many times the girl said "like" i thought she was a goth not a valley girl....

[TheTortugaTanker]

I used to have a crush on Susan Wallace.

[Driftas220]

@TheTortugaTanker no one cares... stick to having a crush on your mom . lol

[natedogs212]

Like! Like! Like! Like! Like, you know!

[TheTortugaTanker]

OMG! A video from when MTV was worth a fuck!

[Driftas220]

@TheTortugaTanker "OMG"? something tells me your quite of a homo haha

[danaria]

[Godsownaddict]

[sweet69nightmare]

4:38 Wrecking Yard. ♥

[ARottenzombieKiD1]

1.25min I dont know the song!? You know it....? Pls tell me.

[PrishaNisha]

@ARottenzombieKiD1

-- It's called sweet... 

[liggettmatt]

The reason they broke up is because they got tired of dyking it out with each other.

[bauhaus77]

@liggettmatt you are a dip shit

[Telekon5]

I really love this band. They're truly genius and I hope they get back together.

[Quanzare]

Does ANYBODY know why they broke up?? This music is amazing and I was a bit young when they were together, I feel like I missed out... :-(

[Gloomshadow1]

They are not "broken up"..they claim they are only "on hold". Tina got married and had a kid, that had alot to do with it I think. Band members went off in different directions and Susan Wallace just disappeared..you cant find anything about her at all on the web. Guess she lost interest and got married or something.

[isthattrue]

@Gloomshadow1 : holy shit. This means marriage is the evil of the world. If they ever reunite, this will be the best news ever.

[cancankant]

I remember it being the old "creative differences" between Tina Root & Susan Wallace.

I was a huge fan of them "back in the day" and got to see them a couple of times live at teeny tiny clubs. It was an amazing experience!

[PLURadelphia]

those were the days! <3 u tina!

[sshatchell]

Why did they break up?

[wretchedxdoll]

They actually did do "reunion" show, in 2002..Susan didnt even show up..i bought tickets to see them (TOGETHER) as a band, as stated SWITCHBLADE SYMPHONY..was so pissed..talk about false advertisement

[d3vi10]

those 2 albums are the best ever... last time i saw them was in maritime hall... was the reunion "good"? did they play all the "favorites" in this video clip? btw: i always thought Susan was hot... wonder where is she now...

[Exile2347]
