I was thinking G'n'T, like Ghost Dance, understated by those that dont appreciate the finer things in life

I always thought Guns n Roses ripped off Hussey's take on Knocking On Heavens Door a storm....

Just for the record, I like The m*****n, The Sisters and Ghost Dance. I also like beer, a fine French Burgundy and gin n tonic, and have no problem finding the right drink for the right occassion

I always thought is was about going on stage and being on stage, and having an audience in your grasp.... all while on speed.

I always thought it was about speed... speed... and more speed.... but above all... its about speed

I write videogames for a living and regularly listen to the Sisters whilst doing so, so they're still having an influence in some ways

I always thought it was a good exuse for him to get a free vacation anyway. (Middle-Eastern temple anyways)

Bring back the whte suit, that's what I say

I seem to remember an early version of Love Me To Death kicking around, with diffrent lyrics. Don't know if it was pre or post Sisters though...

"Selling out" implies some initial artistic agenda which didn't involve reaching millions of people in the first place. The whole point of the band in 1980 was to let Gary hear his voice on the radio. While I'm NOT saying that the Sisters have no artistic merit (god forbid!), I am saying t...

I was there, I think - it was held at the Camden Ballroom right? I'd completely forgotten about it. I remember very little going on, but plenty of stalls selling stuff. I bought my Damage Done fake single there (I knew it was fake when I bought it, I should add!). Think we must have left before it g...

Yeah, its Gary for sure. I met him once and asked him about it.

I think that's the only demo I have on which Gary sings... anyone know of any others? I know there's some with Hussey, and other instrumentals kicking around...

Hang, on, best guitarist? Not best song writer...

Hussey, hands down. Etch from Ghost Dance once remarked to me that he was as good a guitarist as Gary Marx, but not as good as Richard (other GD guitarist).

Even Von will admit Hussey was the best (on a good day)

I wonder if there were any Estonians aboard the Titanic?

So what you're saying is, the difficulty of the Estonian language is directly responsible for all of our record collections?

of course its still night. i don't know what i was thinking. rest assured, i shall be whipped and flogged severely.

Snow white, nothing for miles
White curtain come down
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look around

Perhaps the German verse of Marian was so done because Andy got frustrated trying to do it in Estonian?

I did a search for Saaremaa and Marian, and came up with a page which was in a very, very strange language. Anybody speak Saaremaaian?

Sorry, I don't have references to the Titanic thingy, though I'm sure its mentioned in the movie (anybody have a copy they want to watch?)

However, regarding the Estonian Island sailors... as Quiff Boy puts it...

blimey!

I think pikkrong is on to something... "Always look on the bright side of life" would be an awesome, awesome song for a Christmas set list!

I'd never thought of the "bathroom walls" as being the mirrors in the Phono, but now I can see it...

Well, Rose of Avalance did have at least 3 good songs (5 if you turned up the bass and your speakers made everything a bit distorted)

Ex- Salvation honcho, credited on Floodland... last heard of running a clothes shop in Leeds (official MR merchandise outlet) circa 1992... anyone have news since?

I'd love to see Andy do something like this...

Of course, I also love the way the way that a piano tune (1959) and a Jim Steinmen rock epic (This Corrision) can sit side by side one another on the same album...

yes "the band" = "the sisters"

Thanks for all the welcomes!! I feel at home now

Chairman - I suspect you may be correct
