TSOM covers by heartlanders ? I just covered Alice.

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.

You do a disservice to yourselves by putting it online to be honest. It was probably tight enough for a teenage band demo, but the sound quality renders it absolutely pointless. Wait until you can put it out with decent quality otherwise people will get the impression that you don't care enough about the music and they won't care about it either :|

And it needs drums ;) Assuming they're not already there hidden deep down...

Don't make me find your first demos and rehearsals, the same could be said for a couple of them too. :roll:

I'll wait until the final version of the song is finished, then I'll be able to comment.

I'm not really a musician, just a bad drummer who happens to own a crappy stratocaster and really cheap eko bass. I thought about trying to cover some song. Today I was hangoverous and bored and recorded the most awful primitive simplified version of Alice: http://koti.mbnet.fi/shagriml/temp/alice.mp3
Everything's been done in one take and there are errors and the whole thing is just absolutely horrible.

It was the first time I tried to play it and tried to sing it. Dug out the tablatures and lyrics today... I'm not sure if the tablatures are correct though... I would appreciate a link to a verified tablature...

With proper rehearsing I might actually learn to play it decently...

Anyway, post your own covers if you have any ! Doesn't matter if they suck, they can't suck as much as my alice rape :lol:
Track's not as bad as your stupid hat!

yeh the drums are in there, it's just the ipod isn't the best device for recording stuff.

Evidently not. Try and borrow a laptop and a decent microphone and, if possible, record each instrument separately so that you have a bit more control over the levels. If you need sound recording/editting software, I'd suggest Audacity - it's fine for home studio work if you're not going too complicated (I've done production for a band who've done work in bigger studios with it and had no complaints, so it can't be that awful).

Nonsense. The only way to make it sound better would be to use ACID.

Oh yeah the album versions of the songs are much better quality.
That version of Susanne was recorded in a tiny room with a crappy recorder.
It does say rehearsal..

And your track listing said Think Tank Sessions. It's not an unfair assumption that you would use the best equipment available to you.

especially on material that's as yet unreleased. can't see him being too chuffed about that. and it's a bit rough releasing someone else's new stuff before they do IMO. at least when it's the sisters.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Heh. Well, someone has to do it, and Von apparently isn't too terribly interested. Have there been any full-on (i.e., vocals and all) covers of the unreleased stuff? I know there was someone on here with a recording of Will I Dream? a while back; has anyone else done the like?

Of course the drug - have you heard his track?!?!?!

it's only 1min22secs so shouldn't take very long.

:wink:

I'm not saying it's great... it just sounds like the song, which is good enough for tonight.
