Heartland

Another couple of recovery days spent reading Heartland posts...some great stuff here and some dreadful opinions and thoughts...wanna hear my 'best of'? Top of the list has to be all the denials of any bad sound to the guy who was grumbling about the bad sound. Which was concluded with an interview ...

question here is, does having both Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins on stage adds anything to the experience? I mean, Peter Murphy + David J was pretty much a full blown bauhaus gig imho. Hell yeah! Daniel Ash is just one of those great guitar players. Innovative like Alex Lifeson, obscure, like Robert...

Oh I'm all for the Final Cut and for me it's totally a Pink Floyd record the way that fat Vegas Elvis was still Elvis. It wasn't the Hound dogging boy, more of a Les Dawson come Supernova thing, bit of a car crash but still Elvis. Final Cut was The Pink Floyd dead man walking. The stuff after was li...

I can't see Wayne being serious about anything and I mean that in a good way. Gilmour had a career that he'd spent fifteen years building. He knew a solo tour would keep him in baked beans and best butter but a Pink Floyd album and tour would keep him in extreme wealth. and after playing guitar like...

i really enjoyed wayne's book. for starters its by far the least up-its-own-arse account of the period that i have read thus far, written as it is by someone who, like those of us old enough to have been around then, was/is a part of the scene.....unlike some mainstream fu cktard hack who blatantly...

i think the relevant passage in Wayne's book has just been misread as what he says is: "We had an idea to release a covers EP featuring the two tracks we'd began recording earlier, 'Emma' and 'Knocking On heaven's Door', and so booked into Strawberry yet again to finish and mix the two songs.....

One of the highlights for me was finally finding out who actually plays the guitar and bass on the version of Emma that was on the B - side of Dominion. Well it sure wasn't Wayne and Craig.... Check the Sisters FAQ here on Heartland for correct info.[/img] Interesting. Wayne maintains that it is hi...

I'm good with spoilers...I like when people say spoiler alert dot dot dot...I'm right looking forward to this book but not at 16 plus postage...I'm waiting for the library to get it.
I'm good with spoilers that's all..one vote for go for it : )

Ach That was a good one too..where have I been! I had the Sisters sound down to that heavy bass more than the drum machine, and the very distinct guitar sound, but definitely the voice. Craig changed his sound when he left The Sisters, for me it wasn't as good, not as distinctive as his Sisters stuf...

Long time since I've been here...just saying thanks folks, that was a great read...this thread I mean, not the book...Right looking forward to the book. Great interview MAndrews...I know platitudes are nauseating but gotta be said...Great interview. Thanks folk..just had to write something so I didn...

Natch I feel bad already about saying that...A bang of media frocktails reinterpreted a mans something and I laughed at it... sorry that guy..he's more admirable than the folk who laughed at him, but it was funny to me .

so THATS how we get one with nature! I'm finally at peace that I'll never understand.

Just done what I think are the final tweaks - I think I'm done with it now; maybe I'll change the images so that its more a gallery of the various line ups. Funny thing was I thought I knew enough about the sisters to write a short bio in half an hour and chuck it up there - I didn't expect it this....

stufarq - thank you for all that - that helps but I'm being very lazy here and ammending the Floodland section to read "the sublime Floodland LP...Eldritch on vocals and possibly everything else, Patricia Morrison supposed bass but there have been expressed doubts, oh and the New York Choral So...

Hey Being - I half wish that I hadn't started this now but now I have let's get it right I've just ammended the Sisterhood episode section to read "Hussey, Adams and Eldritch then went to Hamburg to work on new songs. Eldritch rejected That Guitarist's input. Hussey and Adams split to work on T...

I've been emailed the track. And it's an audience recording from this gig... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw4o8WunnBA Members of Thin Lizzy with Gary Moore and Bono and others. Self Aid, RDS Arena, Ballsbridge, Dublin, 1986.05.17. The bit on the bootleg starts at 3:16. Dan thats amazing - spot on...

Ok ok so I did some homework in the end - bah I tought you'd make it easy on me and just tell me.... so the full peice is here if anybody will be good enough to read it and give me corrections. But its windy and boring so to cut to the chase main query I have is: Floodland...are there any musicians ...

Yeah - very mean but funny!

Ah - that kind of stuff is beyond me - I can't even download - I used to long time ago - had this thing called nero but lost computer connection for a few years with some serious house trouble then when I got back to it it had all changed - good idea though - I do wish I could just click a few butto...

Hello Being - thanks I'll have a read of them - and Mark thanks for the corrections and additions.
So - when did Ben and Chris join the band? were there no other line ups between Vision thing and the current line up?

bit late bit drunk so bear with me... I had to take a look at the discogs Sisters page tonight - it's awful so I wrote something. but I need help obviously - if anyone can be bothered to read this please send me corrections and ideas so I can upload a more authoratitive and informative blurg on sist...
