It is hard for me as a guitar player to believe that they played a single tone of the music on this video.

[transoz]

as a guitar player.... it's easy for me.

what the?

[transoz]

why do people have to compare women musicians?? I don't get it.

I have actually worked with Charlotte and she's great and i'm a fan too!

I wish i could say i have worked with Vicky too. Totally different talents.

what's yr point? if Charlottes better....why comment on a video with Vicky in it?

[transoz]

I love Vicky's voice...it's interesting.

@ini32 Dude, I've seen this band Live Oh, I don't know a million times, even at street fairs, there was no back up band at the bottom of the stage. Seen them play up close and was able to watch thier hands. Yup, it's them playing!! I don't know what kind of musician you are, but clearly you don't know what your talking about! Also to your earlier comment, there are many ways to play chords and do leads on the neck! Oh, and as a musician myself, you are wrong! Good Day!

Like most guys, I'm mad about Susanna, but seeing this video I gotta say- damn, Vicki is a fox!

Is not common for women to be interested in playing instruments professionally, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Why would you think girls can’t play music? Is not like is rocket science, it’s like saying straight men can’t dance.

If you are talking about the “out of synch”… everybody knows that when you upload a video from VHS it can get our synch.

@BeccaGSD Hell, I really don't know. I wasn't there. It looks to me that they obviously do know how to play their instruments, but whether they actually use this knowledge in their performance is certainly another question. But many pop acts have been using playback as an essential part of their performances. I think the Bangles laid more emphasis on being a pop band than a rock band. It might have been that the vox were live, for the most part, whereas the instruments came from a studio tape.

[BeccaGSD]

Granted this vid is a slight outta sync

[BeccaGSD]

@ini32 explain,....you think they did or did not play their own instruments??????????I've been playing 26 yrs and have met them,...was there a band behind the curtain???

[BeccaGSD]

Its called Lack Of anything better to do, to sound clever

[hoopset]

Got to see the Bangles live in Massachusetts in 1986

You're wrong on the chord thing. Vickie's--in parts--doing something like a major/minor/or minor 7th chord w/bass on 6th string, then changes in the same fret with a 4th chord  based on 5th string--bass on 5, a Minor 7 . Ex: A minor to Dm7. On verses if you watch Susanna she's moving around with licks like partial chords--or chords only on the first 3 strings while Vickie plays the full chords as straight rhythm. The lead; what's seen=cameraman's choice. Freaking out? It's called showmanship.
