so, you were under the impression they were artificial cyborgs or something

De acuerdo totalmente!!!

facts

Yeah they were scenesters starting out

@@jlouis4407and they both dated for a little while in the mid 1970s.

His bass tone is one of my favourites in music.

Yes I've stumbled on Siouxsie Sioux since the early 80s...I'm 54 btw

I was introduced to Suzi age 7 with happy house and loved Killing Jokes living in the eighties. 48 now, but still ok.

Why you guys shoot it in Italy? Cause we were there lol

Actually, for her this is quite affable.

Very true

That's laughable

Both❤️💯

INDEED BY FAR!!!🤗🙂

@@Aurora-uq5hm Agreed.

“These two” 😂 I like how you paint them as just mildly interesting locals with appreciative tastes in dress sense and style that you occasionally acknowledged in each other on the street. Legendary influencers and inspirations behind several music genres was and still is their day job just in case you’re interested in listening to their music 😉🙏🏽

I had an A3 poster of Rob Smith and Siouxsie! I saw Siouxsie in the early 90s.. Excellent band!

The cure were already up and running.

I think it was like an A0 poster, 😂

Suburban Relapse and Sin in my Heart are my faves..

The Cure SUCKS the Banshees are awesome

true, main reason of the originality of them unique sound is that the basic part of the band in music writing was the rythmic section.

@@idontcareaboutyou7757 I think you have just put in in my place. I discounted rhythm as an crucial compositional aspect. I have truly been humbled today. // THANK YOU. All this being said, I invite you to come see my work with color-shape associations and the notes, where I use popular-music and Classical examples to prove that composers choose specific key for specific themes and emotions. I call this my Theory of Pitch Psychology. Either way, thank you again, and God bless! Your, _Acoustic Rabbit Hole_

I second that, I was hypnotised by her shirt & her eye make-up, I'm also bewitched by her voice tone.

Only time I've ever heard Siouxsie called "cute".😅

noticed that too. so sweet.

Mostly on “120 minutes” late night show

I have had the feeling that Severin is a bit of a snob and typical English boy. I once saw an interview with the band and the dude asked what food they all liked. Well Severin said 'I like English food'. Now I really think that English food'hasn't really taken off in the world EVER! Infact it is known to be quite rancid and tasteless. For someone who has travelled the world and seen various cultures wouldn't you think that the answer would be rather different? No he's sticking to his English roots right down to the accent and identity. Now if I were asked..

@@zaradragonia9863 it was what people liked at the time. I thought it was a great answer. There's nothing wrong with that...

@@redbeki Oh I'm just fussy about my super stars 😙

Judging by the year and the channel (MTV) I’m almost certain that the interviewer is Mark Goodman, one of the original VJ’s of MTV. Goodman knows his stuff and wasn’t afraid to ask interesting questions. There was a famous back and forth between Goodman & David Bowie around this time when Bowie during an interview asked point blank why MTV refused to play black artists. Goodman tried to defend MTV and still acknowledge Bowie’s point. Still wouldn’t happen for a few years, but Yo MTV Raps was the first step in that direction

Which one?

@@2koP7 The only song we ever really heard on the radio from the Banshees was Kiss Them For Me in 1991

The druggery of explaining music/lyrics & touring is as boring for us, as it is for them, I'd sooner it was a general chit-chat it would be better for all.

It defined the “goth look” 10-20 years later. No Soiuxsie? No Goth. And with no Steve Severin? no Banshees. Simples.

Her eyes were influenced by Japanese theatre but yes very unique and copied.

@Eidelmania actually late 70s

@@user-gh8wt2zi2n In terms of popular culture, there's a strong argument to be made that TV shows like 'The Munsters' and 'The Adams Family' were goth. Siouxsie has said that growing up she was a fan of Carolyn Jones. I'd argue that Yvonne de Carlo in 'The Munsters' heavily influenced Siouxise's look. It's not something a punk / post punk band would fess up to, but to me it's so obvious. Bands like The Doors ( their non-bluesy stuff: The End or People are Strange ) should take some credit for Goth music. Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit was, for me, Goth music.

@Reese Morgan I agree but perhaps proto-Goth. There were (non famous)people who dressed in such a manner in the sixties too.. The full scene itself didn't form till the 70s though. There certainly are Goth, Punk, post-Punk singers who emulated Jim Morrisons

Madonna's attitude got worse as she got older, her plastic surgery brought her ugliness to skin level. Perhaps pop stars become poisoned by the neediness of the media, always taking from them, giving little in return.

Ha they always look like that! Don't they?:)

Yea sometimes they would present the same energy they were against

I disagree. I was thinking how banal the interviewer here is, his questions aren't interesting at all - no wonder bands can go nuts being on the road having to face this day after day.

​@@mikedtw I think the interviewer was asking legit questions. The band, sometimes, have to come back to earth, and not be so "holier than thou". Sure their tired and maybe worn out from touring, but from what I see from the interview, the interviewer was respectful and nice.

he didn’t pick up on any of their jokes and his questions were generic as hell lmao

Good observation. The interviewer was probably clueless about SATB, so there couldn’t be any back and forth.

It's pretty. I've never seen Severin in interview, like this. Definately on a good day, I think!

I hate Dear Prudence..It sounds like fake music like she wasn't serious making Dear Prudence and other songs .I feel they Just make bad music just to make money on young fools who would buy it but I do like Spellbound and Cities in Dust ..

She looks mildly pissed off, they both do.

Gotta keep the train rollin

there are thousands of artists that are introverts.

Yes, I was surprised how posh he sounded.

He seems autistic to me, his eye contact and introversion are new level, I love it..

@@DavidDatura you know I have come to realize that the Banshees ARE very posh or trying to be. It irritates the hell out of me. Severin's quiet and English loving demeanor really grates on me. As someone who has traveled the world and experienced differentl cultures and food you would think that he would be somewhat wordly. Not so. He was asked in an interview what food he liked. His response was 'I like English food'!! I could hardly believe my ears. 'English food'? For one thing, there's no such thing and two, if you call meat or should I say mutton pies with mushy peas good food then you must be severely retarded. Just like the girl said before. Autistic or just plain jingoistic

3 bands actually, he had a side project with Severin called The Glove, and that entire period was insanity, the man had just recorded Pornography, which was emotionally draining for him, then joined The Banshees, and in the same year recorded 3 albums back to back plus singles and b-sides the year before, and toured non-stop. The fact Smith was able to write and record The Head on the Door only a year after all of that is both a miracle and a testament to his dedication to music.

I focused on that statement as well. I was intrigued by the fact Venice is sinking, & they wouldn't allow heavy tour trucks.

And also very sad...

@@kolos2006 yes, I saw a recent live performance of hers online. And it was hard to watch! Apart from the terrible voice, she also looked disheveled and out of it a bit…sad indeed. I was saying to myself “she should really just retire already” 😞

I was at the last Troxy gig, voice on top form as the conditions were right for her. Incredible gig !!

@@pauladewhurst4003 glad to hear 👍

Don't singers take out insurance on their vocal cords, ( I believe they do ), it might be prudent (I love that word, & the song) to have occasional surgery to make medical repairs. Like having a service on your car, except surgery after 'X' number of hours of singing.

I was 15 but we didn't have cable, so I missed this back then.. bummer

Not the Generation then

Is that relevant?

@@HookBeak_66 Is everything ok with you?

@@kelpkelp5252 As the Aussies say " no worries mate "

High as a kyte , plus Siouxsie Sioux has always had this strong feminine presence . I´m actually quite surprised she´s so " nice " about Robert Smith in this ... maybe cause it is MTV ... around this era , and I´m certain I´m not the only one , I read something in some magazine about her saying that the reason Robert Smith was out was because he was " a lousy lay " - sth to that effect .

@@saraivatoledo1842 high? Really? I've always wondered if and when they took drugs. What do you know darling? Spill

@@zaradragonia9863 give me a few hours - got an appointment soon . That The Glove period in particular is well documented when it comes to that kind of thing though . Having Robert in the band with Severin was a major catalyst for all types of debauchery ...

@@zaradragonia9863 Alcohol, Meth ( in various different forms which can be found in the UK - paste, base etc ... ) , I can definitely recall them disclosing they were using Opium and Psychedelics for The Glove´s sessions ... what was there left back then ? Well, Hash was as vulgar as is these days , just cleaner ( imho that is - might well be my " messed up receptors - whatever that means ) . Basically the one drug I can´t recall any of them naming in 83/84 was " blow " . Curious , innit ? Specially when you consider that it would soon after become The Cure´s " Icing Sugar " so to speak .

@@zaradragonia9863 I can't remember where I saw or read it, but "Cocoon" from the album 'A Kiss in the Dreamhouse' was written after taking LSD
