Del álbum "Scream" (1972). Mi canción favorita de, lejos, la mejor banda post-punk :P (From the album "Scream", 1972. My favourite song from the best post-punk band :P)
If anything the Banshees might be in danger of being overrated, but never underrated . They've always been beloved by fans and critics quite rightly. Incredibly original, massively influential.
I'd forgotten this song! I saw souixsie in Edinburgh in early 80's and I was enthralled by this song. On stage it was amazing. It sounds a bit clunky now but the lyrics are piercingly intelligent. Love her❤
Originators of a genre of music all their own, on their own, an entirely new species of musicians evolved from that era. unheard of at that time or even now. A very rare breed to say the least. Never have gotten tired of listening to most of their songs.
Punk, post punk, just labels people! Punk by it's essence means you don' t conform. Siouxsie and the Banshees never conformed, make up you mind where they fit. For me they just fit, as a unique music influence. Been listening to them again over the last year and they still sound special/different to me, iconic, emulators around, maybe, but they have a place very special to anyone in to music in the late 70's and 80's.
Remember the day I bought the album. Had enough change to buy a huge bag of toffees. Got home, listened to the album, ate all the toffees and threw up. The Scream was, and still is, great. Life was different then, bought All Mod Cons by The Jam about the same time. Am I old or was music just that much better then?
This album is from 1978 not 1972 but is really ahead of that time. The band was in punk scene but the sound was not pure punk, it had different elements. Lovely!
yes it had elements of beatles effects also on the vocals, guitar..the guitar of the cure and the banshees both took from the beatles style picking and did also Joy division...plus guitar techniques from the kinks.
@@Artoforb at that point of time Joy Division only had 4 released songs so chaotic that Siouxsie couldn't have taken anything from them, Siouxsie were far superior and already stars.
@@krasteff If you understood what i meant,I meant that Joy division also took from earlier bands and their effects techniques in the studio...Many bands take various styles and effects from what had gone before..if you listen to jim morrisons vocals on strange days you can hear similar effects of some of Siouxsies vocals...I am a musician and have played guitar for 38 years the point i am making is not about who is superior but about where influences and effects techniques came from...Much of the punk era had people who could hardly play their instruments...I know Steve severin personally and he is an excellent bass player...Joy division also used similar sounds and effects...Punk came from the sixties and was coined by the lead singer of the band suicide 'Alan vega' after he saw an Iggy pop and the Stooges gig....The banshees were much more technically astute at playing their instruments than Joy division were then and took similar guitar picking from The beatles...
@@Artoforb You know, I also personally know some legendary 80's musicians albeit only by the www web, and I have realized that musicians are notorious for not being able to hear what the audience clearly hears. Their role is to play, ours is to listen. I doubt John Peel had your knowledge of guitar picking, he frequently pointed out his only being a good listener. So kudos to your knowledge of guitars etc., but I really don't hear with my outer/middle/inner ear anything in common between Ideal for living and Switch.
@@krasteff I understand you Boris...The problem is when you have played music for 38 years you tend to pull recordings apart and break down the mix and hear what effects are beings used, panning etc...You also tend to hear any similarity to other bands in the guitar style, bass,singing or effect used on the vocals...Any good artist,comedian etc is influence by what has gone before.the sixties had a big influence on what came in the 70's with Marc Bolan,roxy music...You can hear similarities in brian ferry's voice to that of John lennon As even Brian ferry admits he was influenced by them...You can hear buddy holly,little richard and others in the beatles...All the best Boris.
I was born in 1973. So probably about decade too late to really appreciate the this band for its full discography. I can only imagine being in a terrible club with a poor PA and wanting light system for the 1970's, early 1980's. But the intimacy of experiencing S&B in their prime and so pure. I'm pretty goth at heart even though I look like the last person to be so. Man... so much I could have experienced in my teens...
Hello! Este relevante; levante!...grupo "post-punk" ha quedado bastante relegado en su estima...creo que merece ser re-visitado y escuchado...ánimo peScadores!!!
Group with caractere and a swich that I was really appreciated in the world of music, a new wave, sometime a little black very welcome, different and strange, this is what we wishes on this time ...thank to you to you and Sioux and all new wave of the 80' !
Mi gran musa del after-punk, junto a Nina Hagen o Lenna Lovich!!!- Tube la ocasión de ver a Siosxie and the Bashess en Bilbao ( The Basque Country)- fue memorable y con un público muy entregado 🫡🫡😎😎
Early UK punk was fantastic and what was more brilliant was it spawned bands who expressed themselves much better. Here's a great example...like the Ants, PIL, Killing Joke, Joy Division etc. Either way, fantastic stuff all round.
Kenny Morris's drums and John McKay's (McKay composed the music for their hit 'Hong Kong garden' and most of their 1st and 2nd albums) guitar and Saxophone input on this were a big contributing factor on this album and the follow up 'Join Hands'.
Much greatness in this unique sound. It wouldnt surprise if a little of bit every post-punk genre since has splintered off this one record, never mind the album.
Remeber listening to this in 1978 at the age of 14. What a christmas: Siouxsie and the Banshees-Scream,PIL-Fist Issue, XTC-Go2,X Ray Spex-Germ Free Adolecents,Police-Regatta de Blanc!! Innocent and happy days and not a hippy festival in sight!!
The poster is wrong on the date 1978 is the true date of this album and yes although she did start during punk movement and is one of the forerunners in the punk scene/Bromley contingent, the banshees are considered NOT POST punk to some of us, BUT in the music industry this band IS considered POST punk due to the fact of their success later..not because of her involvement personally early on in the punk scene....anyhow she is the queen🙌 hail!
You know who produced? Steve Lillywhite. The drums at the end hint of what was to come. Punks thought this was a sellout, did not like sax or reverb. They all liked Siouxsie as a symbol. Join Hands now that confused everyone.
I know it's all boomer-like and old-fart like to say this, but this music was so much better than almost everything that came out after 1990. And this isn't just a hater's rant. I have evidence: This song, for example.
I do wonder what would have happened with them stylistically if John McKay had not left the band, considering he not only wrote Hong Kong Garden, but also most of the songs on the first two albums.
its not 1972!!!!! it was 1978 this track....;-) yep but cheers for posting,, siouxsie sue one of the best female singers/band ever been..still timeless..

I met her once, a long time ago. She was as extraordinary in person as you might think.
OMG, how was it???
One of the coolest women who ever lived.
Living
She's only the MOTHER OF ALL GOTHS, simply.
Pure quality. No one sounded like this at the time...
Yeah, one of those things that makes the 80’s awesome if you’re European.
не думаю что кто-то звучит также и сейчас, она слишком уникальна
Ridiculously underrated
by who?

at least you had a head start. i was born 2000 lol
Love this song ..so powerful
my favourite track of all time from the Banshees
I fell in love with Siouxsie when I heard this song
Siouxsie is so awesome
Great song, thanks Suzanne, what happened to us as children, should never happen to any child, the fact that we survived is amazing.
What time and country you lived in while you were child?
wow still goosebumps after 40 years
And I was born in 1995, but all songs of Siouxsie and Banshees touch my soul.
Brilliant, still one of my all time favourite albums.
Just pure pleasure to listen.
Love the sax on this track
I love this song! 🎵😍👍🏻
scream was released in 1978 nov/dec. switch is in my top 3 songs of all time. the music is spellbinding, WHAT AN ALBUM= THE BEST.
1978. one of the best band for me
Hello! Este relevante; levante!...grupo "post-punk" ha quedado bastante relegado en su estima...creo que merece ser re-visitado y escuchado...ánimo peScadores!!!
Simply Quality, getting back into siouxsie and friends from the area, as music now is leaving me wanting, shrugs!
Way way ahead of its time,this band was mega advanced!
great song, great band, great era, great font in the video
lovely enchanting vocal & insight
Group with caractere and a swich that I was really appreciated in the world of music, a new wave, sometime a little black very welcome, different and strange, this is what we wishes on this time ...thank to you to you and Sioux and all new wave of the 80' !

Stunning song. Perfect.
~~I'd say it's a damn good record whenever it came out. I still listen to it to this day.~~~~~~~

The greatest punk band ever

as fresh as a dark daisy.
Very true song ! Love her ❤️
aaaaa! one of the best songs ever!!!!1
Description: Album "Scream", 1972
BUT it was released in November 1978 and the right album title is "The Scream"
capolavoro totale
Kenny Morris's drums and John McKay's (McKay composed the music for their hit 'Hong Kong garden' and most of their 1st and 2nd albums) guitar and Saxophone input on this were a big contributing factor on this album and the follow up 'Join Hands'.
permaveg And were truly vilified in Drop Dead/ Celebration
Thomas Stanton Good to see Miss Banshee isn't vindictive or that she bares a grudge, lol. Though I believe they have called a truce now.
Amo su musica desde chile con amor
Buenisimo tema que mas decir sus looks facinante amo a siouxsie
Tremenda vocalista y su propuesta para la epoca 👍⛪🏤🏯🏰🏰🏰
After reading the Crow original comic, I have to assume that this band was an influence on the wardrobe of Eric Draven
Very relevant right now in 2020 ....
Much greatness in this unique sound. It wouldnt surprise if a little of bit every post-punk genre since has splintered off this one record, never mind the album.
The voice has a Nico's feel sometimes.
Nico wishes she could sing half as good as Siouxsie, and i bloody love Nico btw, these days and ill be your mirror are some of my all time faves
Remeber listening to this in 1978 at the age of 14. What a christmas: Siouxsie and the Banshees-Scream,PIL-Fist Issue, XTC-Go2,X Ray Spex-Germ Free Adolecents,Police-Regatta de Blanc!! Innocent and happy days and not a hippy festival in sight!!
Regatta de Blanc didn't come out until 1979. I presume you meant Outlandos D'Amour?
Merry christmas.
Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune and debut album
This was a progressive punk record. I hear The Sex Pistols as well as early Roxy Music influences.
I agree.
@FlyingMonkies325 that just shows how little you know of their actual influences
I’d say post punk.
The day I find a woman that likes this type of music is the day I’ll fall in love.
I look(ed) like her, too. I'm a little younger than she.
2018 don't care... Favorite for ever...
Great song.
She reminds me of Nico, here.
God I love this song
ah! mi adorada siux!!!!

She is the black cat screaming in the night❤️🌺
LOVE IT.
Wonderful
78 and they were there at the start of UK punk as was i
So was i
BUT I DONT BANG ON ABOUT IT.
So true.....
Fantastic. Still more radical than most bands now
avantgarde of the 70/80 ! Top!
magic
The album, "Scream" was actually recorded in either 1977 or 1978 because I know for a fact that it was released in 1978. Just so you know.
The Scream est le premier album de Siouxsie and the Banshees sorti en novembre 1978.
Beautiful photos.
2:29 Robert Smith.
toujours aussi bon
You know who produced? Steve Lillywhite. The drums at the end hint of what was to come. Punks thought this was a sellout, did not like sax or reverb. They all liked Siouxsie as a symbol. Join Hands now that confused everyone.
I fucking LOVE Join Hands.
@@JRStephens5005 So do I. It is their Second Edition.
David Ellis how could anyone not love the sax?!?!?
Siouxie wasn't a punk band ,they were up and coming Goth band, still got scream on vinyl still love that gal.
Their origins were punk, as was the Goth movement itself. Goth morphed from both the Punk & New Romantic scenes
wow.. Mystic
My favourite song from 1972.
I know it's all boomer-like and old-fart like to say this, but this music was so much better than almost everything that came out after 1990. And this isn't just a hater's rant. I have evidence: This song, for example.
Great song
If the album had come out in 1972 they could hardly have been called post-punk.
Birger Halvorsen Pre lol
SIMPLY GREAT !!
Even better live
Best punk band
I do wonder what would have happened with them stylistically if John McKay had not left the band, considering he not only wrote Hong Kong Garden, but also most of the songs on the first two albums.
Great song and I love gothic song which called Swich
How RAD WERE THEY!!!
SOOOOOO RAD!!
That's how rad!!
Rad
late 70's Goth Punk
L'album The Scream non è del 1972 ma è del 1978.
beautiful sad song unik
I love this woman so much I tatted her face on my arm! Lol
I tatted her arm on my face... J/K ;))
Joder... Como me encanta Siouxsie!!
Joder pues a mi tambien
Buenísssimo!!!
Wrong picture, No Budgie on this fabulous track !
Kenny Morris. Great drums.
Not 1972, as someone stated - 1972 would be impossible for something like this to come out.
Um, this album wasn't from 1972. It was 1978.
Yep. Siouxsie would have been 15 in 1972.
Sentances dont start with um and you sound like a pratt...you are correct
Byron Dunbar prog rock
i was there...missed her!
its not 1972!!!!! it was 1978 this track....;-) yep but cheers for posting,, siouxsie sue one of the best female singers/band ever been..still timeless..
I'm surprised no-one's noticed this album's from 1978, not 72.
A Iot of people noticed.
A lot.
How to be punk and elegant.
Meravigliosa
