This was from the summer of 2002, but I'd never seen it. Released in 2003 and aired last night on VH1 Classic.

Just about the most righteous middle-aged people on the planet.

A sustained and glorious cacophonous gothdustrial howl and thump, with Budgie and Siouxsie not giving one inch over to encroaching years and other members not falling prey to the least bit of politeness.

Giving massive creedence to "they're better live."

A+

Siouxsie and the Banshees are a massively under-rated band.

One of my favourite bands of all time. Siouxsie Sioux has one of the most incredible voices -- sounding innocent one minute and ready to chew your head off the next. I've probably seen her in concert more times than any other artist.

I saw them last year, took my sister with me (who never goes to shows) and we were both impressed how a woman who is almost 50 still rocks it hard! Aaaaand manages to look great at the same time! I heart Siouxsie!

Love the band, but flirting with Nazi imagery is pretty pathetic.

True, but I bet Budgie has already done the Homer "doh!" a few thousand times since turning 30.

K-Punk had an article on Siouxsie & Goth it's more on the sexuality of the scene.

The Nazism I just saw as a way to act anti-establishment. Wrong decesion yes, but it was more, "what can we do to piss off the rest of Jolly Old England the most?" Than actually flirting with the ideals.
