[kj] (OT) Speaking of Banshees...

[ade]

Wow. It now appears that I've been 'singling' Siouxsie out. If you go back through the thread you'll find that I was very disappointed with the fact she can't sing in tune on the 7 Year Itch dvd, that's all. Just because I find that dvd SO disappointing (disappointing because it could have been so much better). The vocal fucks the whole thing up. The performance was mind-numbingly fannytastic - I know, I was there.
 
It doesn't mean that every other item I have in my Banshees collection (99% of everything) is now rendered SHIT. It doesn't mean I have it in for Siouxsie either. FOR FUCK SAKE.
 
How DARE I fucking criticise.

I just watched some video from "The Seven Year Itch" tour on youtube.  
"Voodoo Dolly" done in a primitive way was pretty captivating.  Sure, she sounded primitive as well, but looking at recent footage of say, Johnny Rotten makes me wonder why she is being singled out.  She still has a voice, and though out of tune, she embraces that.  I also figured that was part of the point, and she has entralled me for years due to her "fuck it" attitude.  Her voice is spellbinding (har) despite this.  John Lydon can barely get the words out to "Bodies" (I watched his 2007 version).....and was playing the Hard Rock Casino in LV.  I still consider her a force to be reckoned with, I guess is what I am trying to say.  Her voice is even more subversive than when she started.

She's lovely :)
 
Oh, well I'm glad to hear she's regaining her voice. She was nowhere near as bad as that 7 yeat itch
stuff when I saw some of the 90's Creatures gigs.

Its much better than the 7 yr itch, certainly, but at times she does sound like a wounded buffalo when she tries to force some of the notes..looks great though. I couldn't get away with a Pam Hogg catsuit like she does and I'm NOWHERE NEAR 50...

Does she sing in tune on the live Mantaray stuff? I have that 7 year itch dvd & it's un-fucking-listenable. Utterly, utterly disappointing. Luckily I couldn't tell she was ridiculously out of tune when I saw them on that tour in Sheffield. 'twas an awesome gig...

got mine this week too - I think its pretty decent value on Amazon already. Particularly enjoyed the DVD - comparing the early footage to the latest Mantaray DVD I can safely say Siouxsie has aged a lot better over the last 30 years than me...

It’s a fantastic package.

 

It renders “Voices On The Air” obsolete, however, as it includes all the Peel sessions. The quality is excellent, and the entire thing is only marred by the usual pretentious wankery of Paul Morley’s “essay” (sic) in the booklet. The DVD is great too; I can now retire my DVD-from-TV of the Rock Goes To College.

 

Recommended, particularly when it comes down in price a bit.

"The scene was wild and somewhat sinister. The darkness, the palms, the mountainous background, the silent lake below, the impenetrable canopy of space, studded with secretive and significant stars, formed a stupendous setting for the savage noise and blaze of the ceremony."
