Siouxsie & The Banshees - Girls Bite Back - Berlin - 03/10/80

[@AthenaHueber]

Siouxsie: "I don't think anyone would want to marry me." Budgie: "Bet."

[@mukhumor]

That Budgie is an underrated drummer. His work rate is phenomenal.

[@kkkkkkk419]

Rip john the best guitarist of the banshees

[@zaradragonia9863]

Apart from John Mcay 🤠😃

[@fernandomaia3722]

The best guitarrist of pós-punk

[@zaradragonia9863]

I totally agree:) rip McKay

[@henrikfox8960]

no robert smith was😎

[@rpfqueen]

@@henrikfox8960the guitars on hyæna were nothing phenomenal, not too worth mentioning. robert is only cared for "as a banshee" because he is the frontman of another successful band. nobody actually mentions him as a guitarist (not saying hes bad). mcgeoch is definitely the best guitarist the banshees had, but my personal favorite is JV carruthers.

[@JorgeAlbertoMolina]

John McGeoch on guitar who defines the post punk sound....

[@zaradragonia9863]

I'm sure John McKay would disagree lol

[@zaradragonia9863]

@@JorgeAlbertoMolina oh sorry. I thought you said John McKay

holy shit budgie is sprinting the entire time. best drummer ever.

[@cherylchaison5085]

Budgie is incredible on drums

[@anotherfox7062]

Love McGeoch's playing...really adds so much to the songs.

[@Rikitocker]

Holy shit ... most amazing version of Christine ever ... fucking baked! Steves fuzz bass is insane ... killer upload, cheers from a Banshees fan since the 77 days!

[@kevinsturges6957]

Rikitocker : Agreed!!!

[@woody5831]

Its Not fuzz on his bass its a Chorus pedal.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

@@woody5831 You speak and yet you know nothing ... 1. Steve never used Chorus on Bass, always Flanger ... and what those of us with ears are talking about is the clear distortion that is coming from his amp ( regardless of his usual Flanger being on ) ... this is either added gain from a blown speaker ... perhaps gain coming from the Front of House ... or Steve had cranked the gain on his amp on this gig. Either way, his usual clean tone is not present here ... Education Over.

Siouxsie needs a follow up to her solo album , she's a living legend!

[@soterioncoil2163]

Man I wish - I really do!

[@NONAME-ub9cx]

every piece of her is ART

[@SuperBroonie]

Just born to be a complete artist from the 1st time dressing up in the bromley contingent to 2023 tour How? How does a person navigate through that? Legend in my eyes. The look The Music ( production ) percussion, guitar tones effects bass perfection they influenced everyone in 90's bands. EVERYONE!!

[@Rikitocker]

Indeed ... I forgot that Jones played that track! And of course Kaleidescope was the Banshees transition album when they were inbetween guitarists - John was still with one foot out the door with Magazine and being coaxed into the Banshees by Severin. I still really love Johns take in this live performace ...

[@TraddyCathy]

These early McGeoch clips are great. Wish I had seen Siouxsie live from 1980-1982, but did see a half dozen concerts with McGeoch/PIL.These were outstanding.

[@ARadio-ul7mo]

mcgeoch looks cool

[@TobiaTesan]

Also looks like a genuinely nice chap. Too bad we lost him prematurely.

Go Mac Go !!

[@commonsense5401]

Jigsaw feeling, what a moment.

[@Cl4rendon]

However, you have to consider that it`s not a McGeoch song. Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols played guitar on Paradise Place, on the Kaleidaskope album. This is why there is a complete different guitar sound here. ;)

[@terriwise3098]

Thanks for the upload. Paradise Place is one of my favorite songs. I do especially love the version on Nocturne.

[@Rikitocker]

Oh how great is this ... hearing John play some of the more bluesy lines in Paradise place with bends where he kept it straight up on the album ... lovely!

[@soterioncoil2163]

This would have been a good time for seeing them live!

[@Aurora-uq5hm]

I DID IT'S WAS AMAZING!!🙂🤗

siouxsie rocks with this vox teardrop

[@scratch5191]

A Rádio 1005.86 really? she plays like 4 chords. not four different chords. only 4. lame.

[@spiritualcramp8000]

Eric, he said that she looks cool, didn't say she he's a female Hendrix. apart from that, go watch more lives, she actually plays decently those 4 chords, apart from that too, why don't you go fuck yourself? self entitled guitar hero of my dick.

[@no_wire_hangers]

[@thescarecrowcat]

Holy shit! Too bad it's only a partial show. The quality is great! Not very much quality live stuff available from the Kaleidescope tour! They should have had a live album when McGeoch was in the band. I love Kaleidescope but those songs always sound better live.

[@RossTastic100]

[@siouxbansheerotten1230]

At least you got to see John McGeogh I didnt 1980-82 Banshees were fantastic I saw them with J V Carruthers who was next best after McGeogh I think

It was the 80's,nuff said?

[@thebyrdsfan1966]

I Can't Hear Siouxsie's Guitar.. :(

[@scratch5191]

Pedro Enrique Amón cuz she can't play one. just sayin.

[@bikegeek666]

why is that guitar player wearing his pajamas in public?

[@launchingpatrick]

Because he's that good on guitar. When you're good you can wear anything e.g. Hendrix, Captain Sensible, Cobain

[@julesakers3051]

As Abe Simpson would tell you, "it was the style at the time."

[@scratch5191]

love sioux but why she uses a guitar as a prop i don't know. it is lame. budgie is one of the most interesting drummers i have ever seen. a powerhouse with so many intricate touches.

[@ExternalInputs]

Well, 'cause she used those basic guitar skills to write songs with, so who are you to criticise?

[@pepklopp3212]

2018 - Berlin is still fucking horrible. I don't live there anymore.

[@bizyizziaz4831]

where do you live now why do you find it horrible

[@joenelson7149]

I'm sure she's matured over the years and looks back on this interview and thinks, "God, I was such a pompous twat back then." And she was. "Don't you think anyone would want to marry me?" Siouxsie: "If it were four years ago, I wouldn't have gone into music." Interviewer: "Why?" Siouxsie: "Because it's too easy." "I hate it when people say, 'I'm the best woman singer,' because I'm the best singer of men and women." GAWWWWWD! Somebody stab me in the fucking eye with a sharpened number 2 pencil, pleeeeeeze!

[@frozen1762]

She was young but i don't see anything wrong with those statements. She was best female performer at that time because most female singers are boring. You have to consider times and put it into context- it was "a thing" to be overly edgy and performers do have overblown ego, it comes with the territory. And you missed the more important first part of her statement " I don't carry anything for any FEMALES" now that's true power and emancipation, not like fake feminism of today that is just entitlement.

[@pressureworks]

Youthful boastfullness. We all did it.

[@offbeat65]

@@frozen1762 - Best female performer at the time. Ha, good one. With her atonal wailing. She couldn't have hold a candle to Debbie Harry.

@@offbeat65 I like Blondie, but please. She couldn't hold a candle to Siouxsie.

[@offbeat65]

@@frozen1762 - In what respect? In wearing cupless bras and swastikas, only to atone with songs about Israel? Because as long as singing goes, she is an "acquired taste" at best.
