thats not true garbage is awesome and courtney love kills it oh yeah the cranberries are really good 2,Natalie merchsnt even though she seems like a beatch has an amazing voice.
Smith temporarily replaced McGeoch when the latter left/was kicked out of the band - then they toured Australia where I saw them : who knows, maybe this was the concert. They were electrifying but I was disappointed at having missed seeing McGeoch yet again: he dropped out of Magazine just before they toured in 1980 !
@MadRKH He first played with them in '79 when the Cure were supporting them and the guitarist and drummer left the band in mid-tour. Robert played one set with the Cure and then another with the Banshees. He later joined the band and somehow juggled that with being in the Cure!
@kielego This is not the best version of the song, but it's Siouxie Sioux. She has had 11 studio albums, 4 compilations, and 3 live albums. Plus a lot more. She has proven herself.
I love how naturally powerfully dark and mysterious she is. Not that excessive, "look at how strange and dark i am" like that wannabe Manson, Lady Gaga. Siouxsie is 100%
thats a real, powerful voice. we dont get this kind of performance from a woman anymore. now we just get half naked bimbos squeaking about unoriginal crud. bring back the 80s. bring back punk and new wave!
Just proves how you can be alluring or mesmerizing without shaking your arse into the camera. The voice, the attitude and everything else the poor girls trying to make it on MTV lack. My god! Siouxsie's just from another fuckin' planet! Prolly the only woman I'd ever go straight for.
She is one of those remarkable May 27th Geminis. the breadth of her talent, creativity and boundless energy shall not find an end in this life. Her passion and dedication to her work and her fans has always been an inspiration to me.
Doing a cover of Helter Skelter is more of a challenge than a tribute.
That said, Siouxsie (especially in The Creatures) did/does a lot of covers... songs she just wants to perform and thinks an audience will enjoy. Nothing wrong with that.
I love covers, good or bad, they pay due respect to some of the best songs out there. Im a massive White Stripes fan because of all the great covers they do.
Charlie Manson sighted helter skelter as a reason for his killings, the song had taken on a sinister aspect for allot people since then, she was probably aware of this, and brings in a manic element interesting cover.
HI, I'm agree with the comments said before, I'm think this is one of the best version of this song... I like the drums and the powerful voice of Siouxie Sioux
Of all the covers I've heard of all the songs I've listened to (and I seem to actively seek out covers) I have to say that this is one of the best I've ever heard. Helter Skelter is supposed to be raw and violent and energetic. The song isn't about love or some girl after all. It's about drug abuse and alcoholism.
i understand why siouxsie and the banshees did this cover the way they did , and i love the band , but this cover is imo not their best work , oh well, keep rocking siouxsie !!!
Gotta disagree here...I just love the raw power of this track and the way it builds up to an ear wrenching crescendo....lovely noise and screaming plus great to dance to
Siouxsie didn't use sex appeal! You may have a point. She certainly projected the female who can not be attained. I think she was the first woman to wear thigh boots on a satellite broadcast. I know the punks of Cardiff spat on her and she didn't like them for that. No wonder Cardiff was listed as one of the ten worst cities in the world.
@Pantagruella Fucking liar, I was at the both shows at Sophia Gardens Cardiff 1979 and 4/8/81 and Siouxsie didn't get spat at..If she did, then what makes you so sure it wasn't by some prick from Bristol?...What do you fucking know?..You weren't even born in 1979...I think you've got a chip on your shoulder, maybe because more bands play Cardiff rather than Bristol...Bristol has been voted the second worse City to live...Jealously comes into mind here..
@vincewood1 I don't personally believe that Cardiff is one of the worst cities in the world. As it happens I do like Bristol. I don't know, who did the spitting in Cardiff. Maybe as you say, they were from Bristol. Siouxsie asked the people to stop spitting. They didn't because they thought it was the thing to do. All those bands who used to invite spitting, got tired of it in the end. I don't think Siouxsie ever went back to Cardiff. Ask Debbie Dirt what heppened, if you don't believe me.
cont'd-i just feel like that's what's lacking today. either the music is so utterly bland and they need something extra to captivate or it's always overdone and you get distracted by the ridiculous add-ons. siouxise had that balance.....she had actual talent and a real vision.
btw,i must express a little disdain. i sit here and i watch sioux and i just get so aggravated with today's performers(outside maybe pj harvey or bjork).....i just feel like there was actually a time when performers didn't need theatrics or over-stylised silly props to engage an audience. siouxsie was theatre all on her own and i miss that a lot. and when was the last time there was an artist like her who not only was a vivid poetess,great voice but also a fantastic performer?
@scottjhnsn I've got to say (gets ready to be flamed) that ppl now compare Toyah Wilcox to Siouxsie but IMHO she was just a sad imitation. BTW no disrespect to the Beatles (they were geniuses) but I preferred the Stones or the Who.
@scottjhnsn I read an article somewhere where it said Siouxsie was unique in that she didn't use her sex appeal to get sales - no tits out. It was all about the music.
@lewisner hah. i think there is a picture with her in a cupless fetish bra at the beginning of her "career". but that was avat-garde (i.e. punkj), i believe. :P
@lewisner well, except that she did get her tits out quite regularly, as part of her art! She has always been a contradiction- not classically beautiful, but astoundingly sexy, always playing by her rules. Gotta love Siouxsie
@lewisner And that is why I respect her so much, she was a proper talent & the women in music today who do get their tits out will never compare to her because they have NO talent ;)
@Malc2169 I heard she did on an album cover but it would have been tasteful probably she didn't do it in videos or performances like most females of today in music they use that to sell records she didn't. Madonna & her followers in music do everything in a slutty way. They have to do that to sell records because they have no talent.
@lewisner Are you joking? Yes she has photos with the tits out. And yes she use sex appeal to sell records. The thing is that she was a weird goth chick and a talented singer, not just a pop icon.
@ThePaulocastor I am not joking. She never tried to to pretty herself up to appeal to a mainstream audience. She had her style and you either liked it or hated it but I doubt she gave a flying fuck either way.
And she was NOT a Goth - she was Punk, all the way.
@lewisner Bullshit, all the leather and bright lipstick, if that is not sex appeal what is, seeing less is often more sexy as it creates sexual mistery. Trust me, there were many times she did not wear a bra and those little titties were bobbling about.
@Kipling666 No more than she would want to see my moobs as I'm just a year year younger than her. But I would love to meet her in a bar and talk to to her. Thats my point - she is an icon.
The more I listen to great tracks from the past like this, the more I wish Rap music had the decency to bugger off, as it bores me. Siouxsie is a godess & always will be... anybody who say's otherwise is either an uninspiring oaf or a singular bollock!
Every time I think she's lost the key, she's really taking the melody into a new shading of the original, all the while maintaining the intensity and the overall feel.
I LOVE Siouxsie!!!!.... And to all you fans, you MUST check out THE other great rock band with a female singer, BELLADONNA.... Just watch their haunting video of "Let There Be Light " the song they did with legendary composer MICHAEL NYMAN based on his music of Oscar-winning movie "The Piano"... Nyman himself plays piano on it!!!... search for "nyman belladonna" here on youtube and you'll find it!!....:-)
I'll tell you, I have heard at least 10 Siouxsie boots & she doesn't sing off key. This was recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall, wh, is notorious for having the absolute worst acoustics of any concert hall on the planet. I suspect Siouxsie couldn't hear herself because she hits the same wrong note when she sings, "...'til I get to the bottom AND I SEE YOU AGAIN." It's the same wrong note. I think she couldn't hear anything from her monitors. But what was she gonna do?
Has Siouxsie and the Banshees covered any other Beatles' songs besides Helter Skelter and Dear Prudence? I grew up when the Beatles were still around, but I like both these covers.
I don't know what everyone's mad at. I love the Beatles and Siouxsie + Banshees, and I'll admit that the Beatles version of Helter Skelter is better, but Siouxsie + Banshees covered tons of songs, I mean Through the Looking Glass is an entire album of covers... Anyways they are both amazing artists, and Beatles got famous for lots of covers also, and Helter skelter is just one of those songs that pretty much every band covers, so deal with it.
Pretty good, but they didn't quite steal it back. That didn't happen until 1988! (little rock humor there). BTW, if you think completely reinterpreting a song is LAME-O by default, then go ahead and bash Bob Dylan for all his live shows from 1974-present.
@nylon700 look for THE GLOVE, thats both of them together, great album! i only have it on tape! original though, wicked, i`m gonna search for them now
How to trash a Beatles song,well i dont think the late great John Lennon wouldn`t of hated this version,they sang it the same way,not as good obviously.
@JoesRamone Hmmm ... it's kinda easy to forget how much Robert Smith shredded simply as a guitar player. Anyway - glad you posted, becase at first I was all, "Mike Score played with the Banshees!?"
hey all i can say is if you don't like,no one is forcing anybody to sit here and listen. you are aware that you are behind the screens of your own computers in your own homes,no?
anyway,perhaps you should listen to the album version instead....it's well....less raw.
ps-all you beatles fanatics...seriously....even the goddamn bible has been interpreted and re-interpreted,i hardly think the banshees doing a version of this song is blasphemy. get over yourselves.
Couldn't agree more mate - except one small thing - the Banshees don't just do a version of this song - they totally blow The Ruttles off the stage with this. A song like that needs some power and attitude - sadly lacking in the adult oriented rock middle of the road guff of the fab four on this occasion. Love The Beatles but not so much to blind me to when they are ( albeit occasionally ) outdone.
I'm a Beatles fanatic and I fucking love Siouxsie. It was bands like Siouxsie & The Banshees who did their own versions of Beatles songs that brought me to my love of The Beatles.
@lewisner well i personally adore this. she and the banshees just gave this tune a swift kick up the arse and it needed it,frankly. the lyrics has loads of energy and attitude but the original beatles recording kind of lacked those qualities. this is perfection,imo.
@scottjhnsn Hell I grew up on the Beatles and I think this version is far superior. The rawness and power they're blasting out... and relentless bass line. It all just works. To me... the entire song builds to the line she cranks out at the 3:02 mark. One of the best uses of the F bomb ever. Hell, you can see her slam the microphone stand down at this point she's so into it. She and the band are on fire and the crowd is giving it right back. Must have been incredible in person.
A mi no me iportan las criticas y guerra baratas, me encantas los beatles y la vercion de esta mina es buena... y si les gusta discutir por boludeces no les gusta la música giles....
@radiobeefan oh yeah, a lot of sense that makes coming from some douche with a user name "radiobeefan". I bet you're used to bullshit fed through your ears like Lady Gaga and all of that radio Disney garbage. You're trash, fag.
@SeanToal I like the Beatles, I like Siouxsie, I'm a fag I'm trah and I love Lady Gaga ... stick your prejudices up your pretentious asshole ... I bet you jerk off to pics of the Jonas Brothers while listening to Miley Cyrus you sick bastard ...
@pierreerichexum Don't put yourself down in the process of insulting another, it defeats the pupose. I'm baffeled that you can appreciate Siouxsie and the Banshees and still be a fan of acts like Gaga. To each his/her own i guess.
@SeanToal "oh yeah, a lot of sense that makes coming from some douche with a user name "radiobeefan" What does that mean genius? The name is a reference to a private joke among my friends, your not suposed to understand. How this makes me a douche i dont know. I dont like Lady Ga Ga either. And Radio Disney is not avalable here in Ireland. How this would qualify me as Trash and a fag is beyond me. I am not in fact gay. But so what if i was. i didnt think punk was a prejudiced medium,
@radiobeefan and to reiterate my earlier point This Cunt Cant Sing. She even admited it her self. This is evident by the new fangled process of "listning".

I LOVE Siouxsie!!!!.... And to all you fans, you MUST check out THE other great rock band with a female singer, BELLADONNA.... Just watch their haunting video of "Let There Be Light " the song they did with legendary composer MICHAEL NYMAN based on his music of Oscar-winning movie "The Piano"... Nyman himself plays piano on it!!!... search for "nyman belladonna" here on youtube and you'll find it!!....:-)

I'll tell you, I have heard at least 10 Siouxsie boots & she doesn't sing off key. This was recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall, wh, is notorious for having the absolute worst acoustics of any concert hall on the planet. I suspect Siouxsie couldn't hear herself because she hits the same wrong note when she sings, "...'til I get to the bottom AND I SEE YOU AGAIN." It's the same wrong note. I think she couldn't hear anything from her monitors. But what was she gonna do?

Has Siouxsie and the Banshees covered any other Beatles' songs besides Helter Skelter and Dear Prudence? I grew up when the Beatles were still around, but I like both these covers.

I don't know what everyone's mad at. I love the Beatles and Siouxsie + Banshees, and I'll admit that the Beatles version of Helter Skelter is better, but Siouxsie + Banshees covered tons of songs, I mean Through the Looking Glass is an entire album of covers... Anyways they are both amazing artists, and Beatles got famous for lots of covers also, and Helter skelter is just one of those songs that pretty much every band covers, so deal with it.

Pretty good, but they didn't quite steal it back. That didn't happen until 1988! (little rock humor there). BTW, if you think completely reinterpreting a song is LAME-O by default, then go ahead and bash Bob Dylan for all his live shows from 1974-present.

OK if you hated this, go listen to U2's cover. It's probably your cup of tea. I'll stick with Siouxsie.

hey all i can say is if you don't like,no one is forcing anybody to sit here and listen. you are aware that you are behind the screens of your own computers in your own homes,no?
anyway,perhaps you should listen to the album version instead....it's well....less raw.
ps-all you beatles fanatics...seriously....even the goddamn bible has been interpreted and re-interpreted,i hardly think the banshees doing a version of this song is blasphemy. get over yourselves.

@scottjhnsn
Couldn't agree more mate - except one small thing - the Banshees don't just do a version of this song - they totally blow The Ruttles off the stage with this. A song like that needs some power and attitude - sadly lacking in the adult oriented rock middle of the road guff of the fab four on this occasion. Love The Beatles but not so much to blind me to when they are ( albeit occasionally ) outdone.

I'm a Beatles fanatic and I fucking love Siouxsie. It was bands like Siouxsie & The Banshees who did their own versions of Beatles songs that brought me to my love of The Beatles.
So I agree with you 100% with your PS ;)

Personally I like the rawness. If I wanted smooth I would listen to Celine Dion.

@lewisner well i personally adore this. she and the banshees just gave this tune a swift kick up the arse and it needed it,frankly. the lyrics has loads of energy and attitude but the original beatles recording kind of lacked those qualities. this is perfection,imo.

Hey WAIT! I'd happily force anyone to sit here and listen to this. I don't care what they think, and raw is OK with me.
dennybop 8 months ago
@scottjhnsn Hell I grew up on the Beatles and I think this version is far superior. The rawness and power they're blasting out... and relentless bass line. It all just works. To me... the entire song builds to the line she cranks out at the 3:02 mark. One of the best uses of the F bomb ever. Hell, you can see her slam the microphone stand down at this point she's so into it. She and the band are on fire and the crowd is giving it right back. Must have been incredible in person.
