did they really? witj

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I seem to recall someone saying it was The Mîssîon/Sisterhood?

Of to search...

... Yup. Found it. Clicky

seems the general concensus is that its "the sisterhood" playing one of their few live gigs before they changed their name to the mish...

note that the band that popularised the traditional irish folk song, thin lizzy also had a track called "sisters of mercy"

disc 4, track 14

as well as a track called "Fool's Gold" - disc 3 track 3 :o :lol:

The Whiskey track being a Sisterhood soundcheck is ringing bells..

Anyone know if the '84 era Sisters actually got as far as practicing or demoing Mandy?

the track "fool's gold" is an original thin lizzy tune credited to phil lynott,and first appeared on the 1976 lp Johnny the Fox. i've never even heard of the track "sisters of mercy" -and as far as i know i've got all the studio albums -even the crappier early ones. :?

No,
"They Boys are Back in Town" is a well known Thin Lizzy track.

"Sisters of Mercy" is an obscure track from Lynott's unheard-of post Thin Lizzy band, Grand Slam.

...and Eldritch did backing vocals on ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore's Blood of Emeralds.

But then, you probably already all knew that! :roll:
