bus station loonies sisters cover

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 expected no less.
BTW it has nothing to do with reggae per se : this cover is a crime against humanity and decency ! :lol:

its an ace version :lol:

the loonies are a lovely bunch.

i heard this version played at the phono a couple of years ago - tracked a vinyl copy of the album down via their website and bought it :)

when it came i realised it didn't have the track on it so i emailed them - they sent me a free copy of the cd version too :D :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: 8)

ended up having a little email correspondence with the singer and his wife. nice couple :)

i also seem to recall danny mass (from salvation) grooving on down to it that night at the phono with a huge grin ;D

Aww, bless y'all for bringing this up!
Our awful cover version has brought at least one person to tears at a gig in the past (for ruining their favourite song of all time).
I personally rate "Temple of Love" as a personal fave of mine too. And that's why we did it. Playing our shoddy interpretation is still a highlight for us all, some 11 years since it's nigh accidental conception. All royalties went to Andrew Eldrich. And we've since (spookily) stayed, coincidentally, at his old flat in Leeds. Patricia Morrison thought it a hoot when we played it, supporting The Damned yonks back.
Cover versions are tributes, usually (and, especially, in our case) proving how blinkin' good the original versions were. Not trying to make a point, but appreciating music and havin' a darn good laugh on the way!
The goths in Plymouth always, bizarrely, I felt, enjoyed our travesty. c Though clearing dancefloors is always a bonus (aids to a more swuft exit for the band).
Love'n'Laughs,
Chris Wheelie (a Bus Station Loony) :urff:

You have the guts to appear on this forum after we discussed your cover version of TOL ! You don't even seem mad at those including me who said it was crap ?
Man I respect you big time ! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
