In April 1989 I went to their concert. We skipped school and stood in line all day. Got front row. All through the show the drummer Debbie and I kept making eye contact and smiling. I was 16 at the time. At the end of the show Debbie leaned down and gave me one of her drumsticks. I was in heaven! What a treat for a teenager. They gave a great show too!

So, they continued to perform it minus the lines.

She's dancing in the aisle and everything was great. Show ended with a huge 'jam' and seemed the Gals were having a great time. Go to the babysitters the next day to learn The Bangles had broken up after the show. We were heartbroken. Good band. I miss those days.

The Allnighter has a funny scene of Hoffs doing a spastic dance. Still makes me laugh. On a separate note, I always thought Michael Steele was a hottie back in the day, especially when she grew her hair long and dyed it red.

I mean, there's pretty. And then there's Susanna Hoffs.. That's just taking liberties with how lucky someone can be to be born looking that good. Great video. With loads of stuff I'd never heard about the band before.

I have the first two albums and they are very good. The record company they were with compromised their music just a bit too much in my view. But in spite of that The Bangles are a great band and the live performances I’ve seen on TV/KZread are great - they shone live. The Bangles are part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. Love them.

They were magnificent,the real thing especially live! They still are. I admit that when I first heard them in a club in 1984, they sounded like a garage band instrumentally BUT with fabulous VOCALS, glorious harmonies which was rare and HOFFS VOCAL TIMBRE was and is still incredibly appealing. They make great music, I liked the first album ALL OVER THE PLACE really their best songwriting in my opinion. Love them ❤️

After watching the video I realize The Bangles succeeded despite themselves. If left to their own devices, we would never have heard of them.

Saw them open for English Beat at the Hollywood Palladium in '83. The Bangles were fantastic! I love their cover of "Live".

I saw the Bangles back in 1983 at the Concert Factory (formerly the Cuckoo's Nest) in Costa Mesa. They were so f🐰cking good I didn't even notice at first how adorable they were. They played and sang beautifully, with tight harmonies and backing vocals. They had it all, except for, it seems, songwriting. They took a path others had succeeded with, recording a Prince song, and got their 15+ minutes. There was a feeling that they'd sold out, reinforced by the follow up to "Manic Monday", a thoroughly disposable novelty dance number, "Walk Like an Egyptian". They did ok, but they shined brightest when Annette was still the bass player, nothing against her replacement.

Truly the best female band ever. Many top ten hits.They couldnt handle Susanas stardom but they all could sing GREAT 4 part harmonies! Broke up in 1989 back together 10 years later..

I can certainly see why Susanna Hoffs was the most photographed. I’d imagine anyone with eyes could see why.

Basically, the sisters were jealous that their lead singer Susanna Hoff was getting all the attention, especially after the whole "side eye" thing. Eventually ended up ripping the band apart.

These girls are incredibly gorgeous. Still to this day. The music is good and timeless.

When I first saw the group I felt Suzaana Hoffs was the best looking woman in the world. Mr. X

Tremendous. When Egyptian dropped, I was just starting to form a personal taste in music (5th grade), not just tagging along with whatever my parents were bopping to, and The Bangles were the start of my fascination with (good) girl bands. No shade to the GoGos, I was just too young to appreciate them properly. I did really like Jane Wiedlin's and Belinda Carlisle's solo work when it hit late in the 80s.

*The bigger question is this: Why were they ever a thing?* It is quite likely that since Hoffs is of the tribe, they were given a deal by a tribster.

I saw them as an opening act at the now defunct Kabuki Theater in San Francisco in November 1982. It was one of their last concerts they were called “The Bangs”.

I always had a thing for Mickie.

No matter what band you profile with few exceptions. Most of them follow a similar career arc. They start off in humble beginnings. They have a huge hit that usually defines the band. Then jealousy and envy of the lead singer not to mention drug addiction and death usually causes the band to split up. You would think history would teach these bands something. But unfortunately it doesn't.

Yeah, you really did a super job with this vid. The 80's was just so much music fun. The Bangles, the Go-Go's, and of course, - Banana Rama. One of these bands played a gig at the LA county fair one summer. I think the Psychedelic Fur's played just ahead of them. I saw a lot of the Runaways back in the 70's. Bands having problems with their managers and producers seem to be something inherent in music I swear.

In short, the other three were jealous of Susanna, the only truly hot one. Eternal Flame sealed the deal. They did get back together some years later, of course - well three of them.
