SIDVICIOUS began with a
claim in an interview with Marco Pirroni that Sid Vicious put forward the idea that
The Banshees "just made a noise" at their first gig, which was to become
the legendary Lords Prayer performance. The big players tread The Lord's Prayer with the utmost respect (well, maybe not Presley) - Frank Sinatra, Mahalia Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Art Garfunkel, Jim Reeves, Barbara Streisand, David Bowie and The Beach Boys. And then along come Siouxsie & The Banshees, dragging the standard down into the mire of noise before words. |
