hello my friends, what do you think of the band? Did you enjoy and still enjoy the songs of this wonderful band? Comment there!

[@jamiethornton6101]

They had two distinct sounds. The early Bangs with Annette and the more polished full blown four part harmonies with Micki. I liked them both. The Bangles were already performing almost every song on "All Over the Place" with Annette, when she walked out to go full time with her boyfriends band, Blood on the Saddle. That left Micki coming in right about the time they started recording the album. With some chemistry and time playing together, the band just exploded on it's next two albums, with hit after hit. Until they broke up. Some of those same issues that caused the breakup, led to a short reunion with Michael Steele around 2000. She walked out after a concert in early 2004. However, they still play great live. Annette Zilinskas has returned to take over the bass and you can catch one of their concerts in full, right here on KZbin. 2019 The Bangles KAABOO. I will leave a link below. They still sound amazing.

0:02 The big mistake the Peterson sisters made was removing Kahne. Kahne's methods were unwelcome and he also overdubbed Susanna, Vicki and Debbi (not Micki). But Kahne was the only person who knew how to guide them, Rubin also understood that for the dynamics and for the very existence of the band it was appropriate that there were hits and covers sung collectively. Outside the United States until 1987 Susanna was not recognized as the leader of the band. In the collective imagination there were images of the Walk like an Egyptian video and the Hazy Shade of Winter video. After Sigerson became producer Susanna chose two of the best collaborators (Kelly and Steinberg) who had already made Madonna and Cindy Lauper stars and she truly became the biggest star of the band, however at that point the band became something very different from what it was originally and the breakup was inevitable.

If the most recognized characteristic of a rock band is beauty I don‘t think Susanna can be too happy about this either.

She made more money because she deserved it by evidence of her solo album being so successful. The others could have done the same. Look at belinda carlyle. She made her own solo album awY from the gogos and became a terrific success. Cream always rises to the top.

[@kingrex1931]

She made more money because she was the only one that wrote any of the hit songs and the songwriters always get royalties that were separate from the performers.

[@giampaolo1647]

She made more money because she is very beautiful and also a good singer but above all more suited than the others to the pop world after their first album (rock, Paisley), because Prince had fallen in love with her, because with Kelly and Steinberg they had in common the spiritual path and that probably facilitated their relationship and the hits (1988).

[@Charles-jl3sv]

Band Maid is the greatest female band of all time. but the Bangles are a good pop band.

[@giampaolo1647]

The Bangles had unique characteristics. Not only could they play but all four were lead singers. At least three of them sang charted singles in different countries. Their presence on the live scene was impressive especially in the early years. Live performances of I'm not talking in 1984 proved that girls could really play rock in a masculine way. They could also perform a successful power ballad using almost only their voices. No other band could do it.

[@scottasbj]

I think that they needed a manager that would keep the press and record company far enough away to allow them to be themselves. Attending Debbi's Wedding should have been a must for the two. A nice outdoor weeding in England would have helped them to just enjoy themselves and get back to being friends. When they did split and Susanna went out as solo artist, she felt lost without the others. A good manager would have sat down with her, and reminded her that she shone best with her bandmates. They were all different, but together they were amazing. A solo career can always come later for someone like Susanna. With a manager that understood how important it was to not wear them out, and that they didn't need anything more as a band, because they had it all already. They would have lasted much longer. Attending Debbi's wedding would have made it possible to take a break without there being hard feelings. They would have been able to get back together without having to heal deep wounds. It was a huge mistake to take Debbi off of her drumkit, and the others to audition to sing verses. They could have worked that out themselves. I applaud Susanna for doing her best to mend fences, and her husband for seeing how important it was to help find a way to get them back together by singing a song for one of his movies. Their performance in Pittsburgh, 1986 is all that you need to watch to see that they were superstars. Each of them.

[@kingrex1931]

Debbie was the one forcing divisions in the band because she had become jealous of Susanna. Walk like an Egyptian was not "Debbie's Song", she didn't write it, it wasn't written for her, and she didn't bring it to the band. David Kahne, who was the producer of the album, brought the song to the band and decided who would sing which verses. He obviously made the right choices, as the song was a massive hit. Had Debbie sang the whole thing, it wouldn't have done as well as it did.

[@effdonahue6595]

Boiiiing 🚀!! 🔥🔥

[@kingrex1931]

The Bangles broke up because the other members in the band became jealous of Susanna. It's a shame that the other members couldn't handle Susanna becoming a bigger star. It would be like the Rolling Stones breaking up because Mick jagger was the biggest star.

[@giampi180]

The Bangles broke up because at least one of them didn't understand that a band is like a sports team. If you win you win together, if you lose you lose together. If one (or more) of them wants to be superior to the others and plays more for herself, the team crumbles. It happened to The Beatles, Pink Floyd and many other bands....among women to the GoGo‘s. The Bangles needed each other. ALL THAT MATTERS IN LIFE IS FACTS. After 10 years from the first breakup, Susanna resigned herself to the lack of success of her solo career and asked her husband to help her to try to reunite the band. He had to apologize to Debbi and Vicki. With Vicki's help they also managed to reunite Micki for a while. After Micki left for good, the Bangles released one studio album in 20 years and no hit singles.....despite Susanna. THESE ARE THE FACTS THE REST IS JUST CHAT, CHAT AND MORE CHAT.

[@kingrex1931]

​@@giampi180 If any one member was to fault for the breakup of the Bangles, it was Debbie. She was the one that was resentful that she wasn't automatically handed the lead vocals on Walk Like an Egyptian, she was the one that resented Susanna being seen as the pretty one. Debbie was also the one that went to Vicki to cause divisions within the band rather than calling a meeting of the full band when she had issues. Susanna tried for SEVERAL years to get the band back together, but Debbie always refused. It wasn't until they were both mothers and they re-bonded due to their shared motherhood that Debbie was willing to put the band back together. These things can be seen by watching interviews of what Debbie herself said! As for your sports team analogy, some members of the team are far more popular and well known than other members of the team. The issue with the Peterson sisters, especially Debbie, is that they couldn't handle Susanna being the face of the band. A team like the Kansas City Chiefs wouldn't prosper long if every member of the team were resentful of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce because they got more attention. The other members of the Chiefs realize that they have a job to do, and it is OK if they aren't the most popular member of the team. Debbie couldn't do this, and to a lesser extent, neither could Vicki. Susanna couldn't help that she was the one that the magazines were interested in talking to and the one that the fans were most interested in knowing more about. As far as the solo career goes, many 80s acts had trouble connecting with listeners in the 1990s and Susanna was more successful in her solo career than the Bangles have been since reforming their band. BTW, for someone that preaches to know the facts, you can't even get it right that the Bangles released two albums since reforming: "Doll Revolution" and "Sweetheart in the Sun". Don't preach about "the facts" when it seems that you just make most stuff up or leave out important facts within this discussion! Typing a full sentence in all capital letters doesn't win the debate for you and it doesn't give you the final word in the discussion! It seems that you know you are wrong, but simply cannot admit it, which is why you want to use typing in all capital letters as some type of trump card.

[@giampaolo1647]

The Bangles were known as female Beatles not female Rolling Stones.

[@kingrex1931]

@@giampaolo1647 I wasn't saying that they were a "female Rolling Stones" I was making a point that the other members couldn't handle that Susanna was a bigger star. The other issue is that the Peterson sisters saw themselves as being the "John and Paul" of the band, and they saw Susanna and Michael as being the Ringo and George. The Petersons basically saw themselves as being the senior members in the band and the others as lesser members.

[@kingrex1931]

Giampi180, the one that didn't understand that was Debbi, who got jealous of all the attention that Susanna got. If you watch the Behind the Music episode, you can see that she was still jealous all those years later. As for your football team analogy, a football team wouldn't work very well if the offensive linemen all got jealous of the quarterback, and they started a bunch of infighting and tried to have every play drawn up where they would be the one that got the football rather than the quarterback.

@@scottasbj There are plenty of songs on the Everything album that have a similar sound to Eternal Flame.

[@kingrex1931]

The band broke up because the other members became jealous of Susanna because she became a bigger star. I think the pushback against Eternal Flame was because they knew it would be a huge hit and they knew if they recorded it Susanna would become an even bigger star than she already was. If Susanna had taken the songs that she had wrote for Everything and left the band at that point she would have had a massive solo album. In addition to Eternal Flame, she had written In Your Room, I'll Set You Free, Everything I Wanted and Waiting for You for that album.

Susanna is a very intelligent woman. She said in an interview …’I immediately realized that I couldn’t repeat the success after the split of the band’. Her melodic voice couldn’t extend to the low tones unlike Belinda or Janet Gardner and unlike Micki or Debbi. Eternal flame is an example. It is a beautiful song sung by Susanna but becomes an EPIC VOCAL POWER BALLAD as soon as Vicki, Micki and Debbi sing together almost in crescendo. Their warm voices and adult sensuality mixed with Susanna’s melodic higher pitched voice and almost adolescent youthful sensuality. The final effect was unrepeatable for any other band. So, if I were a gossip columnist I would ask Susanna…why did you wait 7 or 8 years to try to reconcile with your bandmates? …Pride?….Stubbornness?

FOR F SAKE GET RID OF THAT SCRATCHY FILM FILTER!!!! Good content but can't watch it.

Maybe the others were envious of Susanna but I would bet that Susanna didn't go to Debbi‘s wedding ...out of envy....and probably the same goes for Micki.

The production on this video feels so AI, with the pirated content reversed and all of the retro filtering overlaid on all of the footage w/ the computer generated voice...

I remember watching a music video of the band and the way. Susanna Hoffs came across. She made love to the camera and the camera loved her (I'm sure the producers saw the same thing). It was apparent to me at that time that the band would not last and that she would be going solo. It was a typical record company prick move to retain the physical standout, who was Hoff's, and dispense with the rest of the band so they would only have to pay the one instead of four of them. The record company destroyed a great band and reduced Susanna Hoffs to a mere "product", which was apparently fine with her. That's actually too bad because as a band I thought they were just getting started. And where is Susanna Hoff's now?

Where is Susanna Hoffs now? Still recording & releasing solo records & occasionally performing with The Bangles. And, still looking good at 64 years of age.

[@sPi711]

@@wylco1959 That's nice. She performs and releases covers of other artists and gets together for the occasional nostalgia act with whomever's left of the original band (If she actually sees any of them at all). It's a living. My point was that the Bangles were a decent band ground up by the suits of the record companies; an exercise which Hoffs participated in and encouraged. But to be fair, maybe the Bangles weren't destined to be anything more than what they were and are. And whatever that is, I'm sure they hoped for much more. At least some of them did.
