3.0 out of 5 stars Primary contributor? Certainly not Nina!, February 15, 2000

Nothing special. Nina appears only a couple of times, no interviews. I bought it for the Nina's "primary contributor" note. Interesting anyway but not for Nina's contribution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nina Hagen the Diva., October 6, 2004

This review is from: Girls Bite Back [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've been watching this tape over and over again and I finally came to realize that the only thing worth watching is the divine rock legend Nina Hagen. Her crazy, unique make up; her vocal power; her hair color; her energy: you really understand why Hagen is the only myth on this tape. Siouxie Sioux literally disappears next to her like everyone else.
Hagen's wonderful version of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust shows her four octave range from soprano to bass. Her singing abilities make all the other singers sound extremely unprofessional and amatourial.
Interesting is the fact that there are NO interviews with Hagen. Strange considering that she's the only legend on this tape!
But she opens and closes the video: a sign that she's the beginning and the end...
I rate it 5 stars just for her.

5.0 out of 5 stars VIVA LA SIOUXSIE!!!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Girls Bite Back [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is only worth purchasing for the appearance of the divine Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees. It features performances and backstage interviews from the Kaleidoscope tour of 1980. With the production of the video taking place in Germany(the least favourite country of Ms. Sioux's) her comments when questionned on what she enjoys about Germany are frank, entertaining and worth the price of the video alone. When The Banshees are seen the video is excellent (hence the five stars) but the rest could be marketed as a cure for insomnia.
