- Recorded on the evening of Wednesday 5th September 2001, for transmission the following Monday, 10th September 2001. Several RPers are cheering in the audience. :)
Warm-hearted, unpretentious, immensely talented, highly intelligent, hard-working American hotties who play terrific music. What could be better??
Michael is beautiful and has an awesome voice😊
I agree she is brilliant and incredibly pretty
In 1986, I saw the video for Manic Monday for the first time and it was at that precise moment that I had a crush on every Bangle!
LOVE the Bangles till this day!!!! Always listened to their wonderful songs, Walk like an Egyptian still is one my favorite Clips.. All four girls are equally talented and beautiful... never gets old!!!
I really love you girls The Bangles Band. Just watching interviews you hanging out such a blast! You girls remind me so much watching kiss, The Beatles, the monkeys, hello hello you did say that you were influenced by the Beatles that's awesome and it shows
susannah, the ABSOLUTE angel !!!!!!!!!
Michael was the heart of the band - the best writer, most talented overall
They are all fantastic. They only have ONE identity: The Bangles.
Good interview ... how interesting it was broadcast the day before 9/ 11.. I'd heard they were still in UK at this time..with interviews / promo talk shows for the new album..
Susanna is so sincere in her responding to the the question of the initiative to get back to them all.....lovely!
ed
Yea but both the peterson sisters were very forthcoming as well. Especially Vickie.
..Michael Steele is cool....
For those who are confued about Michael Steele being back with the Bangles, she came out of music retirement to be with her friends one last time and the album that came out in 2003. After that album however, she was truly done with music and quit for (what it appears to be) good. It was nice to have her back for one more album in the early 2000s.
For ONCE, Obama could do something useful- Sign one of his "Executive Orders" to get Micki back in the band.....Well, it was just a thought.
Too bad we know THAT will not happen.
Sam S they are a trio now, I wonder if they would get their original bassist to fill the void?
It's Sad but it is what is,.. I really liked & enjoy her talents and as a musician and wonderful voice. She added so much. (( sad face ))
@@sambradley2975 they have. Annette Zalinkis back in the group!
happy birthday Michael June 2 1955 miss you
Michael you are the greatest!!! The Bangles are not the same without you! still great but not the same. Michael the best bangle!!!!
She was good, but Annette was(& is) prettier, & she brings back the original garage rock "Paisley Underground " vibe. ❤
@@sambradley1968 Prettier? Are you serious - so this is a beauty contest now? Jeeze why must women always be put into some imaginary beauty contest and judged like cattle - YUK!
A great band formed by some really talented musicians and singer/songwriters.
@@glamdolly30 Michael Steele is unbeatable. Annette Zilinskas is just living with the legacy of Michael.
Michael steele ♥️ era el alma del grupo 🥺😢😭
Susannah moves like she from a different passage of time in some kind of spiritual levitation
Michael looks detached from them even there. I worship her.
So I'm not the only one that noticed..& did you see how she looked down when Susanna was talkin bout getting the band back 2gether..
Debbie & Sue were my faves, Vicki & Micki were awesome too.
Micki Steele!!
Michael is still the COOLEST of the Bangles!
Michael Steele is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and I agree with people saying that she is an amazing bassist, guitarist, and singer". Her voice is amazing! She has a big, beautiful voice. Her face is like a masterpiece of a great artist and a creation of God. Does she know how beautiful she is?!? I wish she had a daughter or son that looks like her but I heard she has no family of her own....well, when she was asked about "family", I think that was sadness that I saw but she was trying to hide it and did defense mechanism instead....
Michael Steele IS the BEST part of the Bangles,
Ok, I know this is an older issue, but wth happened with Micki Steele? I used to dig The Bangles back in the 80s, but sort of lost keeping track. I know I really liked her, well all of them actually, with Susanna Hoffs, being my personal favorite. But, it would be great if they all played together, again.
Heard rumors in interviews with some band members that she took a break ,retired complete from the music biz a couple years after & lives now here in Canada with her pets..& happy as can be also ..
Amen!!! Michael Steele rocks my world completely!!! 🎼🎸🎙
I feeel is painful Miki Sttle are not in the Bamgles,
he ruined them
Susanna abd Michaell,still as lovely a s ever,God bless then both.
Greatest Band!
Great interview, and I agree with most everyone on here - Michael Steele was truly amazing in the Bangles. It's not The Bangles w/o her.
i love michael steele
I LOVE Michael's BIG CHEEKY Smile, After hearing her in many interviews I think she's the Intellectual One,.. I also Like Vicki/Lead Guitarist - BOTH are 1 Honey of an an " O " okay I stole that from a Cheerios Commercial , lol But Love The BANGLES/ The Bangs as they started out as. :)
Daryl Hansen In fact, a close person described her as the library mouse of the band.
She really does have a beautiful smile.
May God kindly bless, and Protect dear Micki wherever she is now, along with her beloved pets.All my love, and God, s Blessing for you, my dear sweet Micki.
I am spell bound by these musical witches....
I love Annette Zilinksas, this was before she came back. ❤❤
A great lady to work with .Will always remember her in belfast,did not know that she was one year younger than me.she still looks very well.
regards
Tony sadar and margie
Love the Bangles
what really sucks with the music business is that labels or management actually cause group breakups, worse, ruin careers
I think relationships between the members and creative chemistry take a huge part too, that's why Michael left the band and never returned.
they got to hating each other , you know, creative differences as it is always referred to as --- but the blonde on the far right quit at the Walk Like an EGYPTIAN , she walked alright. They (managers - record label) didn't want her singing and just wanted her to play a tambourine and whistle....she was pissed to say the least because she did not get support or backing from Suzanne and the others to force them to allow her to play the drums and sing on the single.
True
Thanks so much for posting, I taped it on video but to catch up with the modern world all my videos are now archived in the loft.
Y sácalo a la luz para que el mundo lo vea ☺️
Suzanna seems to be a completely different persona in real life, than the adorable, hot and cute vulnerable girl on stage.
Great point. Well put. In real life she's mature, has morals and respectable. My dream woman.
@@td780 and mine!!! Talent and beauty!!
Oh Michael. Be still my beating heart.
Bangles can play instruments; the spice girls cannot.
Only Michael was able to play her instrument at the times the Bangles were a hit.
@@ankihansen2489 I suggest you watch them in a live concert and you will change your opinio of them. Debbi is a very good drummer, as Vicki is in lead guitar. And what everybody doesn't notice is that Susanna is a very good rhythm guitarist. Many people think rhythm is easy, but to be a good rhythm guitarist is difficult, and Susana is very competent. But of course Michael is tremendously missed. Although Annette, who was the Bangles original bassist is also very solid.
Vicky's top is very distracting. I love it😂😂😂
Si que vicky se la abroche ya esa remera 🤫🤭😆
I was in LOVE with Vicki at 15,..my first female crush,..always had Michael stir something in my belly even then,..Now as a 38 yr old adult,..Michael was the most talented, the most prolific writer and the most beautiful
The Bangles, are NOT the Bangles sans her
Group and Band are two different things! You can't compare Spice Girls to Go-Go's or Bangles. That's like comparing Supremes to Runaways!
Aileen lowes all groups were good in their own right. Each contributed to music in their own way & made strides for women in music.
Except that they are all great groups 😊
@@sambradley2975 well said.
@@sambradley2975 'strides for women in music'? christ listen to yourself, you make it sound like women are an oppressed minority (which you clearly think they are), I guess Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Janis, Dionne, Diana, etc etc etc never happened, gtfo with that crap
Love Micki Steele
@jdmans
Michael and Susanna are my favourite girls from Bangles :D
I love all the girls but it sucks the way Michael is overlooked so much when she's the biggest talent in the band and most popular Bangle among most Bangle fans.
@quaquaquaa, U said,"...seeing as how the band was marketed as Susanna and Those Other Girls..."
- Every Bangles fan knew that each girl sang lead on certain songs, I never considered Susanna as THE lead singer because they all contributed their musical talents. You probably think they were marketed as Susanna and Those Other Girls because most of the hit singles released were sung by Susanna (Manic Monday, If She Knew What She Wants, Eternal Flame and In Your Room, among others).
Susannah moves like she from a different passage of time in some kind of spiritual levitation
They were doing all the British TV shows on their reunion. I missed all them. I only caught the article in The Evening Standard on their reunion - after the Atomic Kitten cover.
This was before Micki Steele left, & Annette Zilinksas returned. 😊
Beautiful the bangles amazing
Being happy and being famous are two different things. Who's ever heard of the Continental Drifters?
Me. I have every one of their albums. Love Vicki, Pete Holsapple (The db's) and Susan Cowsill.
@jdmans
Was mcihael really the unsung hero? I like her look. Something about her...... xx
3:47 - Mikey is quite hesitant to talk abt the loss of her parents.
Can't prove this but I believe she shut down Crash Wisdom when she received news about her father's illness.
She went straight to his side for the next few years.
they split up because Hoffs was pursued to go solo, it didn’t work out for her and they were offered silly money to regroup. when this show was aired they absolutely hated each other.
Love the Bangles.
George Vreeland Hill
The Bangles rock!
Michael...you're not to be left out. Do your animals have names. Really. Really????? So glad they just ignored that question.
0:47 "In Your Room" door.
A nervous breakdown? How do you know that? And she didn't just do that one song with them, she recorded their final album with this band, as well as numerous concerts from 2000 - 2004. My question was ironic. ;)
lol interviews from the past the other three girls were pissed because Susan was being called the Bangles "lead singer" and they were deriding her for being a sex kitten.
Well, she sang the lead on almost all their songs, and was/is hotter than hell.
The bangles really broke up due to jealousy. It's clear from earlier interviews during the break-up time itself.
Also the drummer was pissed because the producers brought in a drum machine and didn't even let her sing on "Walk Like an Egyptian." She's got the best voice out of all the girls (just listen to "Down to Liverpool" if you doubt her voice is the best) and wasn't allowed to sing or play drums on their biggest hit.
Michael Steele has the better voice and was never jealous.
Viky SOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
Susanna is so sincere in her responding to the the question of the initiative to get back to them all.....lovely!
ed
They don't hate each other, it's just more of a distaste.
Annette was/ is an awesome bassist & harmonica player. She definitely should reclaim her old spot.
Annette has nothing to reclaim. Micki did not take anything away from her. Annette left the band because she could not harmonize (only lead vocal) and wanted to play rockabilly.
Debbi said "She wanted to be a singer and not to only be devoted to play the bass".
Vicki said: "Annete was not a good singer for our style. She loves more the rockabilly music. We try to play 1 or 2 rockabilly songs so that she could sing them, but we realized that it was not our style."
Susanna said: "She wanted to sing more. Play the bass was not her passion."
They would not have achieved the success they got by singing rockabilly. that´s true.
For that reason Vicki questioned MIcki about her musical taste. She won the audition by answering Vicki Peterson's question, "Describe your dream band" with "The Yardbirds with Fairport Convention vocals". Micki was musicially compatible with them. In addition, Micki had more experience than all of them together (including Annette). She was already a consecrated bassist. For something she was the only Bangle irreplaceable in the album Different Light.
And it hurts whoever hurts is she who receives their royalty payments for the success of the band. They will never enjoy something like that again. And Annette will always be a rental bass player.
No el que sé fue a la villa como dice en mi país perdió su silla 🤫🤭😆😂 x siempre Michael steele ♥️🌹
No! The one who went to the villa lost his chair Anette silca 🤫🤭😂🤣 Forever Michael steele ☺️❤️
At least a few of them must've bitten their tongues at the comparison to the spice girls. (probably all of them.)
Shouldn't compared them to the go-go's or bananarama.
They knew how to sing and to play and were also a rock group not just a great commercial phenomenon.
When they broke up in 1990, Michael was burnt out and Debbi was resentful of Susanna's spotlight (plus got married). But they reunited for "The Spy Who Shagged Me". Michael had another nervous breakdown after their reunion tour and is apparently is done with music (unfortunately)
Vicki is popping out of her blouse
It's not Vicky who's getting out of her blouse, it's one of her twin's 😳😯😮🤭😂
Vicki,, 🐞 wow xxx
They daren't say just how terrible the Atomic Kitten's version of Eternal Flame is because they are raking in cash thanks to this deal....but note that none of them said it was good music they just said that they were 'sweet'.
Nobody remembers Atomic Kitten, (at least, not in this country )😡
i saw them live 10 Sep, the day before 911, in London, so this interview timeline makes sense. Loved susanna in 86, in 2001 when i saw those legs close up, and still today xxx
You lucky rogue. To see those famous legs...even once. 😍
😲🤭😂Someone tell Vicky that one of the memelas is coming out 🤭😂🤣
Comparing The Spice Girls to the Bangles is like comparing Take That to the Beatles
It's hard to believe Vicki is actually the older sister by 3 1/2 years. Debbi looks older here.
@fabiocsilvaks no she left the band a while ago
@MegaCrowman
did she passed away :O ?
the spice girls were not a band. they were a group. the bangles were and still are a band. also, not sure if about the 80s belonging to the bangles when there were the go go's. hehe. not sure.
Michael and vikki.....
It would be cool if Annette reclaimed her old spot in The Bangles.
Where is part 2?
@jdmans Even though she was hardly at all on their first album?
Susanna😚
I'm just saying the more interviews I watch. I'm telling you. If I can be so bold you girls are so beautiful and so talented but with all due respect watching your interviews you almost sound like Kiss want to hang out get together and have fun there's nothing wrong with that
Does anyone know how to contact Micki Steele?
I think Micki is on Facebook, you can ask Google how to contact her. Good Luck , I hope you get a hold of her. Best of luck.
Time is liner and moves in one direction; or so I've been told.
Linear,not liner. lol.
So if this was 2001, what has 19 years done to them?
It's made them 19 years older smh.
A chance that they had time to make many many great songs before they seperate.
Susanna wanted to go on solo
If Annette Zilinskas is still alive, would she rejoin them & pick up where they left off or would that be like Pete Best rejoining The Beatles?
She is still alive. lol.
@@fairybits as is Pete Best. But, that hasn't mattered since dec of 1980.
No, she's much much much better than Pete Best. Best was fired because of his drumming; Annette left to join her boyfriend's band.
Vicky the best
wow. that must have been so hard... the divorce. because the record companies are saying your 3 album deal is up. we NEED a solo susanna album (becuz they think u have to change every 5 years and solo projects stimulate the band sales)
plus as an artist its like well yeah id like to try a solo album...do different things. but on the other hand, you have a record company that has fooled the world into thinking susanna is the lead singer, vicki has never even had a single even tho she sang as many songs as susanna. the company wont push vicki, even though she is in many ways the driving musical talent and so there is friction there and i just... i really think the bangles should have taken a year off, let sue do a solo album and return, instead of feeling it was a betrayal and permenantly ending the band.
of course i understand vickis feelings. it was her band and then susanna became the star of it in a way that didnt honor her as an equal member.
and the truth is vicki is gorgeous and if the damn record companies pushed one of her songs it would have been just as big as anything else...
the thing about susanna is... she really isnt into being the diva. thats not comfortable for her so... she knew from the getgo the solo album was a mistake, but vicki was so hurt by it that she wouldnt even consider reuniting. which i get because its like... the world is pushing us into this box...the american beauty myth, gender stereo types and im a driving force in this band and you should stand up for me susanna... for us but by doing the solo, youre feeding into the beast thats destroying our band, minimizing my presence within it and i should have been able to count on you to stand for me, for us, for what the bangles truly are rather than what marketing pushed them into appearing as... and i guess it hurt vicki.
but
they didnt have to break up.
why not say ok susanna is gonna do a solo album, why dont you and debbi guest on a couple records and we we will put out a new bangles album hot on the heels of susanna's solo success?
but
it didnt go that way
and its really too bad
because those years.... we lost a lot of good bangles music that could have been plus, the bangles could have become a classic american rock band if theyd put out another 3 albums in the 90s.
but
doll revolution was worth waiting for.
best album theyve ever made.
im just sorry the bangles arent up there with aerosmith as a lifer band.
they truly deserve to be.
Jarma thank you for the whole novel
Why didn't Vicki do a solo album?
@@MrDLOC11 Good point. Jarma does raise some good ones too, like the fact that the band should've been bigger and longer lasting. I don't think Susanna's to blame, so much as the record co and promoters. But, yeah, nothing prevented Vicki or the others from doing solos. They're better as a unit though. Too bad the powers that be didn't seem to appreciate that, at the time. That's show biz.
just to add, its not that vicki blamed sussana, but its the managers and producers fault by committing the ladies into horrible schedule thats gonna keep them away from their new family and rest.
its the same way they run elvis to the ground by forcing him to perform and follow a formula of hits
😳😮😯 que alguien le diga a vicky que sé le está saliendo una de las gemelas 🤫🤭😆
NAC, ladies.
And Andeanessence.
According to Vicki Peterson, Michael Steele never came back and retired in 1990. But what is Michael doing there?
She retired in 2004.
I love this girl the name Michael Steele Is she married this day or single woman some know
@bleedblue83 it was 6 days before 9/11
sixtywattreality wow talk about irony
It was a sad thing for the group that we all [the men] went crazy over Susanna [and to a lesser extent Michael] and the others just got jealous. Susanna couldn't understand why but that's the way the cookie crumbles. She was caught between a rock and a hard place. This interview was good because it concentrated more on the others than Susanna. But the Spice Girls? What sort of comparison is that?
There seems to be ego with 2 members of this band you can tell by facial expression and mannerisms
Who is she?
Let me at any one of those babes. Especially the host.
of course susanna will make the first move coz she broke the band. go micki!
Nonsense. The damned record co, the big wig executives ripped that band apart. Susanna was essentially following directives. She was/is the most gorgeous and also very talented and it is a business. Do I like it, no. They should've allowed the band, it's autonomy. But blaming one member for the band's misfortune is both unfair and naive. And even tho it was years later, the others didn't have to rejoin Hoffs. They must've realized, as Vicki stated here, that it was the execs who foiled the Bangles, not anything amongst the band members.
Group and Band are two different things! You can't compare Spice Girls to Go-Go's or Bangles. That's like comparing Supremes to Runaways!
