Fantastic band.

A Forest is a fucking masterpiece.

My missus goes to see them every time they tour. Over 3 hours and brilliant she reckons.

He used to live near me in the early 90's. Scruffy **** then as well.

The Pilsbury Doughboy has come a long way:

The first of his two stints in The Banshees. Saw him in the band at the Royal Albert Hall in 83 that was recorded for the Nocturn live album /video that was recorded on a Friday night and hitched all the way back to Manchester on Saturday for a game against Grimsby.

That vid is just Something Else..; )...What a way to introduce yourself to the nation.
I still think The Banshees are one of the best uk bands of all time,and that era in particular ,Siouxsie was groundbreaking...tracks like Make up or Break Up ,Scrapheap,and the later absolutely storming version of Helter Skelter...Wow,just Wow.
Fantastic Band.

Absolutely 100% agree, mate.

Always remember a performance on The Tube (17:30, C4, Friday - the memories) where they did Running town, Bring me the head of the preacher man and Blow the House Down and it blew the mind of this impressionable 15-year old...!

Brilliant band live back then. I managed to see them two or three times before I turned 15.

This one would have been 1977

This is hilarious, and I understand the British disdain for peppy, over-enthusiastic American behavio(u)r. The Cure were a kick, and please note Robert Smith was a very early contributor to South Park, an additional plus.

However, I'd also like to point out that a 60 year-old man still wears lipstick and the same hairstyle he did 35 years ago. Iconic or not, it's still a bad look.

I’ve always liked them and him.

Every time I’ve seen them it’s been a long set and they are superb.
Such a fantastic back catalogue to pick from

He’s still a brilliant musician and writer.
