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

[harmony1c]

IS anybody there...? This is gorgeous.

[SaraSwank]

yeah

[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!!!

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.

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

@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!)

[uzickimajmunac]

@shasaki2 sin in my heart

[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.

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

[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.

sorry to disappoint you, but they touched 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
