Siouxsie and The Banshees- Venus In Furs cover

[@KamenSentaiMetalHero]

This sounds like a mix between the actual song and the Doors' The End.

[@janpakowski3084]

The End is thought to be the first gothic rock song along with the whiter shade of pale by Procol Harum

[@christianbecker8108]

​@@janpakowski3084I love whiter shade of pale so much

[@omegajrz1269]

​@@janpakowski3084No. All Tomorrow Parties was the first gothic song

[@RRAYZORR6]

She's my favorite, when it comes to cover, I remember hearing Dear Prudence and it was like hearing that song for the very first time, she made it her own.

[@MaxViciousWorldOfArt]

or the passanger, wheel's on fire.

[@Suspiria2008]

Even "You're Lost Little Girl" by The Doors

[@dillongstaff5625]

It wasn't her own!

[@rholmblightfield1949]

Seriously, Siouxsie singing a classic Velvet Underground? This has to be Heaven. Kill me now, so I can join. On another note, as I am writing this: R.I.P. Lou Reed. A good human is gone.

[@SciakkaPRODUCTION]

She sang also All Tomorrow's Parties, a very good version.

[@apokryphos117g]

Alain Papineau, I think that All Tomorrow's Parties was a brilliant cover. Better than Venus in Furs, though, she at least knew what the song was about & that it was adapted from a novella. This reply was meant to be sent to Matteo Scognamiglio.

[@tessierashpoolmg7776]

@@apokryphos117g V U laid down All Tomorrows Parties when William Gibson was 14. Good try though.

[@smford117]

@@tessierashpoolmg7776 What does William Gibson have to do with the novella “Venus in Furs”_ by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch? Btw, the word masochism is derived from his name, invented by his contemporary, the Austrian psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing. Masoch did not approve of this use of his name.

[@mrqs1549]

Siouxsie knows how to cover a song. Goosebumps...

[@mariedesbrumes]

The best cover. One is really in the spirit of Sacher-Masoch here.

[@negativeindustrial]

The Kills do it better

[@mariedesbrumes]

@@negativeindustrial I've just listened to their version, they sing it without passion and cruelty

[@monicacouto4575]

i keep coming back here to hear her do this classic velvet tune and i just love the tone of the guitars on this it sounds metallic like siouxie and her cool makeup

[@paulsnell534]

I still think she is one of the most outstanding vocalists in my lifetime. I used to find her scary as a kid. Now she is like one of my most loved women of all time...after Carrie Fisher.

[@anastacia3795]

HER VOICE. MAKES ME FEEL THINGS.

[@zoey__m]

Only the etherial Siouxsie and the Banshees could sing a cover of this masterpiece that I would like.

[@LamiaceaeMW]

So cool. I would love it if Patti Smith did a cover "Venus In Furs".

[@elviranawar3179]

SO TRUEE

[@soundNTechdude2022]

Definitely sung like a Mistress! Woah!

[@skullbearer]

Pretty sure Leopold von Sacher-Masoch just died all over again, of happiness this time.

[@colbydelapeza5216]

Very powerful cover done in her own unique way. Great piece of art here timeless

[@romar9394]

she is eerily channeling '60's folk singer- Judy Henske's "Love Henry". It gave me the chills... Siouxsie would've KILLED it if she covered it. this is proof.

[@SkeeterNYC]

I wish that Siouxsie would cover some Judy Henske stuff. How cool! Could you imagine?

[@wanda13maximoff]

RoSioux Mars now I need to look up some Judy Henske.

[@wanda13maximoff]

Listening to Judy Henske ended up being an excellent life decision. Thank you

[@zebj16]

Love this cover - strangely I was into the Banshees around 1978~79 and then got VU & Nico at a 2nd hand market - fell in love with VU. Few years later, Banshees & Cale got together - I'm a bit hazy on dates around that time. Must have been great, if only I could remember 🙂🍄

one of the only bands that could do this song justice

[@danielomagno]

that is a fact

[@dillongstaff5625]

You obviously haven't heard the version by Bostik Swaskika.They played at one of the first Glastonbury Festivals.Their album Seigheils on the beach is almost impossible to get hold of.

[@NA-AN]

@@dillongstaff5625I’m gonna take a wild guess and say they might’ve been neo-Nazi’s considering the naming .

[@SkeeterNYC]

Isn't this from The Creatures with John Cale live on tour in like '98 or '99? I saw them on this tour in NYC and they def covered this Velvets track.

[@ForARide]

Yeah, sounds like John Cale on viola.

[@carljules3123]

Starts slowly but works up into quite a lather. Job well done Siouxsie and company.

[@RRAYZORR6]

Another great V U Cover is All tomorrow's Parties

[@brentonthorogood5799]

Her voice is almost like Marianne Faithfull in this song!

[@derekfancett8218]

Marianne Faithfull is either the Grand Daughter or Great Grandaughter of Ritter Adolph von Sacher-Masaoch who wrote the book 'Venus in Furs' and gave the world the word: masochism. I would have been interested in her take on this song.

[@joesmiljkovich1350]

If I could record an album right now with 2 other people living or dead, I would pick Souxie and Dolores O Riordan. I was heartbroken when I heard about her passing. The cranberries are more metal then a lot of the metal bands right now

[@emeseh9518]

Due to my frightening Spotify results, I am on a no-TVU-month, so I am listening to this 24/7.

[@skovner]

A great cover. I do wonder if Severian, the main character in Gene Wolfe's New Sun tetralogy, was named for the original S&M novel, as he is a journeyman in the Guild of Seekers of Truth and Pentinence, commonly referred to as the Torturer's Guild ( a great science fiction/fantasy novel series)

@@eposz2 this is not the Banshees, it is Siouxsie's second band the Creatures. This rendition with brass was a one-off, they only did it once in London for a gig in 1998, but prior to that concert, the Creatures had done a two month tour in the US with John Cale on a double bill tour, and each night SIouxsie performed Venus in Furs with Cale on viola during the last encore and it was awesome.
