If you like vision thing you may like?

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.

Depends on how you define "VT style"... :innocent:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, blah, blah, blah...

Me, I'm thinking guitar driven, no bullsheet, power rock. So I'd say AC/DC, Motörhead, The Ramones... And for something more contemporary, Nashville Pussy and The Donnas. But only Lemmy's lyrics have that certain edge that :von: 's have.

Bit of a weird one to say.. I mean I like Vision Thing because it is strangely off-kilter compared to what you would call "rock".. that's why I love it so much...

having been brought up in a house where I was smothered by MOR it really was a refreshing change...



(shoves it on MP3 player right now...) ;D

Hard to tell, but these contain some VT elements:

D.A.D. - Riskin' it All
Monster Magnet - Powertrip
Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub - God
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Automatic

I was listening to Automatic earlier and I agree with you. This was the album they started to play around with drum loops...heard best on Honeys Dead.

I've just remembered that this album by Mark Lanegan reminds me of Vision Thing.

I thought about Lanegan as well, but decided he's a bit too slow, moody and bluesy.

Yeah true, but he has a similar vocal style to Eldritch, I think...kinda sounds like he's not exactly singing and on this ep he's using a drum machine

It's a very good ep! Way better than Vision Thing :innocent: I even think it's the best Mark has ever done...

Vision Thing is "ZZ Top with swearing".

Faith No More.

No idea what the album's called but they had a few decent hits like Midlife Crisis, Ashes To Ashes and From Out Of Nowhere plus they're not unpartial to the odd cover version - Easy Like Sunday Morning. :innocent:

Funny, I'd never really consider VT to be a "rock" LP.

Definitely "rocky", or "rockist", or "rockier", but not "rock", for sure. Most probably because, in common with virtually all "goth" stuff, it's almost completely devoid of a blues influence, and rhythmically it's very rigid (that'd be the Doktor).

Maybe some Skinny Puppy would be close in my books. "Rabies", I think.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Of course, we all missed an obvious candidate:

I thought they were losing it with "And Justice For All"

I once lost my CD holder in Abu Dhabi airport, and had to face an 8 hour flight back to the UK with no music at all. We changed planes in Bahrain, so I bought St Anger.
After one play, I preferred the in flight movies!
