Re: First and Last and Always 40th Anniversary: What Do You Expect?
How many copies of the previous Sisters RSD releases were there and did they all sell out..

Re: The Sisters in Louder: 20 Best Songs
It's clear from some of the interviews that studio recordings have taken place and some of the players are keen to hear the end result in the big bad world.. maybe it's a confidence thing as Andy feels he never has the 'right' version of any recorded song... witness the quotes from Mr Fox re Giving ...

Re: The Sisters in Louder: 20 Best Songs
Great stuff… and a nice cast of characters for the book with some intriguing subtext .. we await the book which could tip Andy into releasing some product

Re: Sisters 2024?
What were the audience numbers like ? So that's the end of the US tour. Time for a de-brief. Hot take: is that the most successful tour they've done since the 1990s? Seems like uniformly good shows, with good sound, no problems and it seems like mostly great reviews? I'm trying to remember when that...

Re: Quick question 🤔
too soon....still hurts The Bass is one of - if not the -most 'signature ' sound of the girls (argument could be made for the Dok as well !) ..

Re: Vision Thing revisited
Methinks therein lies one of reasons for the absence of recorded material . Andy's OCD in an environment with endless technological possibilities (a recording studio) can lead to severe stress and a bad experience.. Andy's idea of 'rough mixes' might be another person's idea of over thinking the 'pr...

Re: Vision Thing revisited
I guess if you ask any Sisters fan if VT was the record that got them into the girls, then the answer is probably 'no'.. I don't think the masses would listen to VT and it would subsequently lead to them spending an inordinate, unhealthy amount of their adult lives discussing the minutiae of records...

Re: Vision Thing revisited
Fair point .... my bad.... but I think my other observations stand up... very limited space for a guitar based ' Rawk' band talking about geopolitics and VT was definitely making suggestive eyebrow movements at the American market .. It sounds on a lot of tracks that the lyrics are more 'forced' int...

Re: Vision Thing revisited
VT was not only American in comment but also in production.. Polished production with more than a glance towards the America 'Rock' market.. A few riffs/Choruses - More, WYDSM, Doc Jeep - a few torch songs - Something Fast and I Was Wrong - and a couple of bangers - VT and Ribbons... Kinda fell betw...

One egotist interviewing another egotist is not conducive to meaningful insights... more like a pissing contest against a wall

If Andy wanted to release music, he would release music.. Andy does not want to release music ... all other discussion re contracts, personalities etc are mute

Re: What do you think really changed in Andrew's handling of the band/brand?
Don't underestimate the mental and physical toll creating a recording takes on Andy.... He's referenced it a few times in songs...his personality (OCD, ADHD, perfectionism etc) means that he is never satisfied with final recordings...mixes upon mixes finding faults that don't exist... at least live,...

A new album would be good music, good lyrics and dodgy vocals.. Last years tour was glorified karaoke
