Susanna Hoffs is one of the most beautiful and enchanting women ever. To this day, she's spellbinding.

[@eduardocrestani2454]

and very feminine

She is still so beautiful. Amazingly talented. Interesting person too, super intelligent but so sweet.

[@rjmcallister1888]

1986: there's a reason why there's no drummer. Producer David Kahne replaced Debbi Peterson with a studio drummer to record the song, which infuriated the rest of the band. They had always considered themselves a self-contained unit. For years, in live performance, Debbi would not play drums on this one. Debbi also didn't sing on the song (she has the whistle on the bridge), with Vicki Peterson the first verse, Michael Steele the second and Susanna Hoffs the last. The band didn't work with Kahne again.

[@aryanson]

Even when they do this song today, she still doesn't do the drumming, usually now either the tambourine, or an acoustic guitar

[@FireMinstrel]

The drums could be done live, but a double kick pedal would be necessary to pull it off. Despite what Michael sang about liking the "punk and metal bands"(which often utilize such pedals), it doesn't seem like Debbi's style.

[@misterteaification]

a) There was no "studio drummer" on the track; it's a drum machine. Anyone with ears can hear that. b) Debbi Peterson doesn't "whistle" on the track; it's a keyboard. Anyone with ears, etc.

[@rjmcallister1888]

Hogwash. Also, with Michael Steele's departure, Debbi now sings the second verse in live performance.

[@karlosed]

@@misterteaification I think so, but whatever they say.

did not know this until i watched six different versions of this... they always used a drum machine for this song... oh wwell oh and it easy to watch ten times... come on Suzanna Hoffs... cant ever get enough of her

[@fredflintstone9657]

The Hoffster has been distracting you this whole time....

[@drvee1983]

Vocals were definitely live. So there was a drum machine. It was 1986 and it's how they did it. The Bangles rocked and were hott! There was no female live band better than them since. They played their own instuments and had to have others obviously help for some of the tracks live. So what? They kicked royal girl band ass while having their own to strut. Long live them.

[@pryt86]

John Vilardo yea everything is all them. Except drums and keyboards.

[@jeffharder8706]

John Vilardo uh, The Go-Go's never had extra help playing any of their songs live. It was always just the 5 of them. Just saying...

[@perrystaton548]

Jeff Harder never heard of ‘em.

[@rialobran]

@@jeffharder8706 The drum machine was added by the producer and Bangles kept it in for their live performances, Debbie (the drummer) would have been more than capable of playing this beat, she plays far harder than this in other songs. Vicki is a capable guitarist, but by no means great. Michael was by far the best female bassist since Tina Weymouth and possibly better. Hoff is reasonable but not too my taste. Put the four together, along with their male keyboard, they were a very good band.

[@jeffharder8706]

Perry Staton The Go-Go’s were the number 1 all female band (early 80’s) that wrote all their music and played all their instruments without outside help. There are plenty of videos of them here on KZbin.

[@TWHISPERER]

Love these women, especially Vicki. Too bad that Michael has chosen to completely disappear though, I would love to see an interview with her today.

[@JavierParede]

She seemed like the most level headed of the group.

[@TWHISPERER]

@@JavierParede She seemed that way, but I think that she knew that all of them were nice looking and that was a way to distinguish herself from them too - look like the level headed one, the smart one.

[@misterteaification]

The only embarrassing moment is at 1:54 when Debbi moves to the mic to do her fake whistling (throwing no shade at her - everyone has their presentation to do) and the director cuts to the keyboard player. Presumably no-one told the band which bits would and wouldn't be shown.

Have you ever felt like you’re unable to feel anything? You know exactly what this feeling is if you’ve been through it. The feeling of a meaningless life is unexplainable. A meaningless life may not look bad. In fact, there’s likely nothing obviously wrong. You may be living in your dream house with the love of your life. Your well-paid job in the company that you dreamt of is doing great, too. However, you feel like a part of your heart and soul are missing.

Egyptian is the most awkward of Bangles songs, due to how Debbi was omitted , sure it was a massive hit but it's a shade of the Bangles at their best ..... It's no Dover beach, Mary street or September gurls which is the band at their peerless best. I saw the Bangles in London with inxs as support , before different light came out, they were loud , fast and a damn good rock band...... Was a fudging great gig.....
