[@philwilliams953]

John Mc Geoch.. Oh my christ! What a sound!

[@Andy50018]

What a song, what a band. This should be compulsory listening 😊

[@BlazingShackles]

compulsory for who and why? how about I force you to watch Murder She Wrote reruns. Do you like being forced?

[@Andy50018]

Yep, totally serious, it should be the law. You humourless muppet!

[@stacyblue1980]

SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS WOMAN AND THE BAND. All these years later, and she still lifts my spirits and makes me feel good about things. I am forever grateful. 🌹

[@Aurora-uq5hm]

🤗🙂

[@barbararenton8009]

I agree! I may be in a wheelchair now because of my bad knees but I just LOVED slam-dancing in the mosh pits at my favorite punk clubs back in Chicago in the 1980s. Great times!!! I saw her in concert twice plus the Creatures with her and Budgie. I just love her music and voice. (ALSO her wonderful eye make-up!)

[@MrStinkpot64]

Well said jenny , bang on

I saw them in 1981 in Ipswich UK , fantastic days

[@mr-rf6vu]

The concert I had tickets to in Portland Oregon was cancelled at the last minute. Forever devastated, it was early 90s and I am still sad

Used to be able to tune into WDR back in the day on Sky. Used to watch Rockpalast on it. It was great!

They're never given enough credit and acclaim

80’s GOLD

[@atlanteantruth]

Coolest woman ever. Point blank period.

[@richardplume3212]

Class

[@geneclark3600]

Damn, she is still the absolute Queen. Amazing. The whistle she did right before the music means something to the Israelis, its a warning signal , a call that enemies are near.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Is the whole band jewish

[@Bigsbeee]

Looking back being 18 in 1981 was pretty fking A W E S O M E

Siouxsie invented female front persons. Amazing and ground breaking

[@Cl4rendon]

No she didn`t , The velvet underground & Nico, The Runaways & Suzi Quatro just to name a few were way earlier - But they`re still good.

[@fatabasita5943]

ESISTE qualcuno che la possa tradurre in ITALIANO, per favore?

[@brando7266]

Is she jewish?

[@doogoo3844]

nope. I think this was a big FU to Sid and any punk who thought it was cool to be nazi

[@john-xo9mg]

Dose it matter ?

Should she be? It's a shirt with a fcukin symbol

[@Zombywoof92553]

off-key WTF

[@oggearhound2242]

Gross. Joy Division wanna be's. No wonder I never heard of "Siouxsie" until they were has-been. Their name is some offensive as well to certain people I'm sure. Joy Division, now that's an offensive name I can stand by. Better music. Better band. Better Lead singer by far. 🤘

[@jimosmond2082]

U talk shit

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

How's your lead singer doing? 42years now? Joy Division couldn't even play their instruments, Sumner/Albrecht now spends most of his time bitching about other acts, he can't fucking sing and never could. They themselves couldn't spot all the signs about Curtis, the depression and suicidal thoughts written down in JD lyrics and their bassist is a narcissistic c**t and a bully. Oh and their promoter was a deluded, self important wanksock.... In the end, one lead singer has had an illustrious and prosperous career that she has done well from, keeps herself to herself, living in comfort but modestly, the other is persistently mourned by people who think they know him and who would shudder to see the glib, beige, middle-class supported sack of crap that mutated from a band who were held together entirely by a guy with serious mental health and neurological problems....

[@oggearhound2242]

@@andrewphippsphillips1455 He went out on his own terms.. at his peak. Is Siouxsie still croaking? 🤔

[@katemccarthy6851]

Lead singer was brilliant however hung himself thru drugs

[@stephenmcguinness8676]

No ,nothing to do with drugs, depression with his epilepsy

[@francescofasolato2375]

Mc Geoch Guitar hero

[@thornbrake]

John McGeogh playing the guitar is sexy AF here.

[@erykrothaar]

O to jest super kawałek,muzycznie pierwsza klasa,scenicznie także!!! Punk's&Oi! ŚWIDNICA

[@JonahJojoTheMan]

What a beautiful Siouxsie is in this presentation. Wow!

[@sandraannlongfield6046]

Saw Siouxsie and the Banshees 81 Torquay town hall..unforgettable ❤

[@Pulsonar]

How John McGeochs guitar splits the air with that ethereal jangling crescendo is like a black art passed down from the Gods. Love the way he starts as though the spirits have been summoned and have spoken 😂 The Budgie/Severin Rhythm machine sets off that lead guitar and Siouxsies famous powerful and haunting vocal style so beautifully. Goosebumps, never gets old, arguably their greatest song.

[@chrisst8922]

Bought the 45 that Christmas from Woolworth's bargain bucket for 25p and still have it.

[@colinhamilton2217]

I can almost hear Grace wandervaal in her voice Such a powerful range💎

if im correct it's definitely written partially (if not fully) as a criticism, with the references to war and orphans in the snow and whatnot
