I found this documentary to be fascinating; especially since most of the “key characters” were able to tell their tale. Would’ve been interesting to also hear Robert Smith’s perspective on this.
Such a good time to be alive and young as opposed to now!
Thanks for sharing this. The music scene today and for the past 15+ years has been completely sterile and devoid of creativity. Everything is the incubation from a corporate shell. I recall in the early 80s listening to a local college station (WUSM in Massachusetts) that played an incredible diversity of music. All new. None of it on terrestrial radio. Internet did not exist. It effected me so much that I would pop in a blank cassette and press "record" while listening to the station. So much creativity. All gone now. Everything is a re-hash, regurgitation. I still love Siouxsie.....she was the embodiment of artistic creativity. Mind you, I'm predominantly a classical pianist/violinist, jazz guitarist (leanings toward Wes, George B, Pat Martino, Metheny, Carlton, Gambale). I count Siouxsie up there with any of them.
1965 - 95 was the perfect era for music. You had the momentum of the past going into a a liberal era of disposable income, modern technology and the welfare state. All these bands were subsidised by the dole. It's different now, not as free, you can't go crazy anymore.
very nice doc. thanks. love Siouxsie...and she looks great and down to earth in this....and John Lydon is a clever guy.
Always loved this generation of bands - especially the Banshees - and thought I knew pretty much everything about them. Turned out I didn't. Thanks for posting.
There is no future John. It s just nostalgia for an age yet to come.
John McGeoch looked so healthy in this ... I´ve always assumed that he was a complete mess around this time . He also seems the most down to earth person ever , not the huge ego which should be expected from such an important figure ... very nice series , definitely .
What a great documentary, thanks for the upload!
Siouxsie and the banshees, nocturne...my fav album when I was 14, listened to it on my walkman....
omg ha!
Thank you SO much for this. Great to hear Peely, see the Banshees (especially John McGeoch) and John Lydon.
I liked Lydon’s last comment about your past being as important as your future coz they both take place in the present.
Certainly a deep statement, always liked John
Now I have a backstage angle to many records that shaped my teens and young adullt years Thanks for this series.
Moving abroad to where kids listened to :shudder: your parents' music, I would've simply d i e d to keep up with all the goings-on and new releases. This doc isn't 38 odd years late, is it now, so thank you, merci!
I just love to watch documentaries like this one, could spend my quarantine diving on these.
Thank you so much for uploading this! Very interesting and insightful!
High school 1987 first heard “Dear Prudence”.
Nothing has ever been the same.
After watching this whole thing I'm just sad I never got to see it when it actually aired. Granted, being in the US I doubt we would have had a chance. Still, much thanks for uploading it... a whole bloody decade ago (shows what I notice).
I loved seeing McKay and Morris and knowing about what they were up to, hope they are doing fine... Banshees forever
What a great trip down memory lane. Thanks for the upload(s) XellNiouxsie.
That was so enjoyable and interesting. Thanks!
RIP John McGeoch
I absolutely love John McKay.He was a terrific guitarist and songwriter. If only..
Wow! John McKay!
Yes! Amazing dude..
@@zaradragonia9863 Super amazing
THANK YOU!!!!! for this amazing upload..great doc..
just brilliant
My favourite Siouxsie and the Banshees period was when they had John Valentine Carruthers as guitarist. Tinderbox is their best album. I also loved their covers album, Through the Looking Glass. Why they never interviewed him for his perspective on things God only knows. Though according to Wikipedia the band got rid of him because he was no longer fitting in. In other words he must've pissed off Siouxsie about something, so he had to go. Ho-hum. I did like the stuff they did with John McGeoch and to a lesser extent, Robert Smith. Went off them from Peepshow onwards. Loved what Severin said when the band had to go to France to record material because Siouxsie and Budgie moved there comparing it to what Pink Floyd would do, and he's right, naturally. 😊
I thought this was a very interesting series. Thanks for posting.
Great series and thanks for uploading!
Thanks for these interesting uploads !
Love the end, but why is there not an update for Bob Smith?
as i said before this is the iconic 1980s
"Roseadendrums"
The Banshees not a success?PIL not a success? Do you live in a different World?
IKR 😅
Has this disappeared? Feb 2017 sadly won't play the last of a great series.
Were is the subtitles?
5:10 where it says 'distractions' read 'destruction' or better 'drugs'
I could have done without Adam Ant. The Slits are the best out of all these bands
the ending is a bit cringe xD
