Sucks without Michael Steele...0

[huntingtonm15]

@BeccaGSD No...it doesn't.

@huntingtonm15 Its a matter of taste I suppose, to be diplomatic. But as a musician myself, whom has followed the Bangles music for 23+ yrs, if you think Abby Travis (NO OFFENSE, I have no beef about her, and think she is a good player) is even comparable to the licks and chops and mood and experience that Michael brings to any music she is involved in, then thats a shame.

Im my heart the Bangles died when Michael retired

@BeccaGSD I'm sorry that you think it's a "shame" that I can still enjoy The Bangles w/o Michael, lol. I personally think that's an insanely ridiculous statement, and I for one, am glad that they are still touring and rocking out!

[BeccaGSD]

@huntingtonm15 If you read what I wrote, I never said it was a Shame that you still enjoy the Bangles. I said with a very astute attempt at being diplomatic, and not personal, or defamitory, that it was a SHAME to compare Michael to Abby. Thats all. These are 4 amazing women. met them various time since I was 17 to now near 40. I am not knocking anyone. Nor am I wanting to invest a second breath in an internet tete' a tete. i was clear it was personal opinion, " matter of taste" ????

[huntingtonm15]

@BeccaGSD And you first said that it "sucks" without her. With that and your other comment, I took it as an implication that they can't even be listened to anymore. But I see what you mean. But still, I find them just as enjoyable. Sure, I'd love to see Michael back and singing lead on songs like "Complicated Girl," but it doesn't seem like that will be happening anytime soon. So yes, for what she is currently doing, I personally find Abby to be comparable.

@BeccaGSD

Yeah :(

It's a quite different sound without Ms. Steele.

Frankly, I miss it. OTOH, I do like the way they're using acoustic guitars.

@huntingtonm15 PS obviously we are both here watching POST Michael Bangle vids, so,...I still enjoy them too,..just not AS rich and full as they were. AGAIN spanky...personal opinion. no one right or wrong, persona taste. YOU commented to me, so ,..well I replied.

It's very rare to find live videos of this song, and it's a damn shame because it's my favorite Bangles tune of all time. It's good to see Debi can still sing lead while drumming.
