somebodys getting pretty defensive

I went to the Vic show last night and can defintely say it was leaps and bounds better than what I expected from seeing the SNL appearance the night before!!!!!
I felt like I was seeing/hearing some f-ed up mix of Bowie, Bee Gees, B-52s with some early cool Elton mixed in. The vibe was total studio 54 in it's heyday and very very queer
They really did sound amazing and worked the crowd better than any other band I've seen this year... I mean who else would break into an impromptu version of the theme from "The Golden Girls" and have the whole audience singing along, while waiting for a tech problem to get fixed???!!!!!

Any of y'all who want to diss them should dig to find a song called "The Skins" (especially if you're into Controversy era Prince) and let me know if you still think they suck.

Anxiety- we should meet up more often, I coulda got you in!

Unless their album is drastically different than their live show, I'm not interested. They were terrible on SNL. I couldn't understand a single word that was said and the music was nothing that hasn't been done (and done better) by many others before them. It's disco disguised as retro cool - nothing more.

Hey gorgeous!!

I was just going to ask if anyone in Chicago saw them this weekend. I would have loved to have gone.

eleven said:

well, heck...next time i'll know!

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Awww - hey sweet thang! Let me know if you will be at the next Prince night... I'll have to give my digits to ya! That goes for you too Anxiety!

If the sisters ever come back we will HAVE TO go...trust me it was amazing

That SNL perormance made me question why I love this band, then I went a listened to it again and now I remember why. They're original and a good band.

PF fans need to lighten up, they're not a band anymore.

Then to start a thread on how a band sucks...

for those who hate scissor sisters because of the pink floyd cover, please never ever listen to an '80s band called flying lizards. while i don't think they ever covered pink floyd, they did a whole album of uber-bizarro covers of pop songs, and i don't think you'd be able to stand the strain.

Original? It's disco. Been around for a long while now.

RipHer2Shreds said:

we'll just have to agree to disagree. They may have that disco-ish vibe at times, but they mash a lot of other stuff into it as well. Again, I don't think they are the greatest band ever or anything. But they are A LOT of fun.

Anxiety said:

i know a lot of good bands that have done awful covers of other artists songs and i still think those bands are good. scisssor sisters are not one of those bands. their whole gimmick thing comes off really cheesy to me...sorta like "look at me, i'm wearing shiny gold pants and i'm gay!" and "don't we dress really neat?!?"

but hey...i really like the spice girls!

GEEK MUSIC!...always has been and always will be

sallysassalot said:

oh well. one less tall person standing in front of me at the concert, then!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I saw them perform live here in San Diego. They rocked the venue and I had a blast. Great sense of humor too although that wasn't showcased on their SNL performance

they are fun. Very NOT for the U2 lover in you.

endorphin74 said:

I ain't gonna hate on you for liking them. Like I said, I've only heard their live performance, and I wasn't impressed.

RipHer2Shreds said:

whatever, HATER!

RipHer2Shreds said:

Why am I having this conversation with people who want to argue about a band?

Have you even listened to the cd? Obviously you haven't because the cd is diverse.

Here's a solution to your ignorance, don't listen if you don't like them.

MoonCat said:

He always does.

DiamondGirl said:

SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!!!!



















wait, who are you talking about?

I LIKED them..They are DIFFERENT and COOL.... Reminds me of FREDDY MERCURYESQUE that lead singer...I Like stuff like that...I Like that Funky LOGO...

BeautifulOneJem said:

That's exactly what I was thinking!

On the second song, did that dude have the audacity to be wearing a blue catsuit????? WTF?????

Slave2daGroove said:

Did you read my comment where I said I hadn't listened to the CD, only the performance on SNL? Here's a solution to your ignorance - learn how to read.

endorphin74 said:

Smarty pants! You KNOW I'm not a hater.

I wasn't very impressed with their preformance (they weren't bad, but I'm not intersted), but they get high marks for the new Kylie track, "I Believe In YOu", which I can't stop playing. It's very fun.

VinnyM27 said:

They have another track they did with her called "I Know" which i think is the better track.

Their song It Can't Come Quick Enough is amazing...

plus my ex knows the bassist... they hung out in PTown last summer

Anxiety said:

"...Cuz you're FILTHY Oooh, and I'm gorgeous!

You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty

And you can grab me Oooh, cuz you're nasty!..."

They've done really well over here in the UK with a number one album, several hit singles and loads of critical acclaim. Personally I love the record - its loads of fun, and in case you guys are missing it, just a tad ironic.

Incidentally, the guys from Floyd loved the cover, and the sisters when asked in an interview which record they wouldn't be here without is, replied 'Purple Rain'.

you know, i'll say one thing about the scissor sisters - as hot as jake is, he looks really fucking dumb in some of those costumes he wears. if he's gonna dress like prince circa 1992, he really shouldn't have such a conservative hairstyle (for starters). dude needs to get his image sorted out.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I did read what you wrote but that was before you made the comment I quoted, so generalizing with stated ignorance about what you are talking about, that explains everything.

I guess there is no solution, argue with yourself
