Siouxsie & The Banshees - Follies - 13/02/79

Recorded 11/02/79. Aired 13/02/79

[@permaveg]

This was in Feb of 79 and Sept guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris walked out of the band, these two's contributions made the Banshee sound.

[@rocioacostawalsh1554]

They were able to carry on without them though.

[@permaveg]

@@rocioacostawalsh1554 They did indeed, but that unique sound from McKay and Morris was never to be repeated, and it was that sound that grabbed peoples' ( and mine) attention in the begining.

[@andrew1598]

[@Wavy_Crockett]

This is epic. Anyone know the name of the second song?

[@philippecarly]

For the record, it's Folllies {with 3 L's ;-) }

[@francisbroka9471]

Avec un Gilles Verlant encore quasi gamin...

[@francisbroka9471]

Oui, enfin bon, on n'est pas encore au niveau de 'Hyaena', c'est sûr.

[@akisasimakopoulos7639]

Primitive siouxsie, not so good! 1980-1988 era...superb!!! But the face image etc etc of siouxsie, is great in this primit periode!!

[@Kris_P._Bey_Ken]

Why does she look 60 something year old here? Not hating on her just an observation.

[@Pascal5207_]

Wdym? She looks like a 21 year old punk to me.

[@jeperstone]

Terrible guitarist. McGeoch saved and defined these amateurs

[@SimplyReg]

John McKay's sound and his songs are absolutely epic. I was just going to insult you, but there's really no point. If you don't get it, you don't. McKay defined the sound of the Banshees and McGeoch elaborated upon it. Both guitarists ineffably awesome in their own way.

[@Kris_P._Bey_Ken]

@@SimplyReg it's usually none musicians that don't get it. Even Jon valentine Caruthers was awesome!!!

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

@@Kris_P._Bey_Ken Exactly, but McGeoch was otherworldly. That said, I love McKay's work on The Scream and think that album is an all time classic especially for a debut effort!
