to be honest, i feel unlucky if i check his myspace. These songs are quite... ehm... not so good, unfortunately.
Makes me wonder at all: What would Von think of mr. beau monde bon jovi christo and his songs and his myspace adventures?
Of course I know Christo is a guitar king, he's friendly and good looking and he plays nice with the sisters, but it's zero mystical, if you compare it to the mumbling sunglasses in dry ice calling himself AE.
Probably Christo is working hard, always saying yes and costs zero money.

In the wake of Mr Catalyst's exploits in The Land of Perpetual Amplitude it seems almost churlish to expect one's guitarists to be on any retainer.
It patently didn't work with Andreas or Tim, and The Sisters almost always learn from their mistakes.
Thus Herr Christo's solo (yeah, yeah, I know) outings are encouraged, and occasionally even endorsed. The particulars of his performance do not have to reflect on what he brings to The Sisters party. Hair Metal has more in common with The Sisters then you'd like to admit.
This "employment model" worked for Starling (until he never came back) and seems to be reaping huge personal dividends for the darling Mr Whammy these days, so it seems perfectly reasonable to perpetuate that modus operandi.
If nothing else it means that when the travelling circus ships out again they will be so much better.

So... Next one on the payroll & in the dry ice... The son of Dee Snider!
Of course, respect to Christo, but he seems so different next to von. While Herr Whammy & Pearson were more 'Sisters'.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I hope the chairman's words are right, though I'd like to hope those screeching 'embelishments' of Mr Christo's are curtailed (maybe through the removal of his little and ring digits) before he treads the boards with God's Own Hair Metal band again. 
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
There is some more info from Polish websites - seems that Ben Christo plays with a Polish female musician!

blah-blah Ben Christo (The Sisters Of Mercy guitarist) makes the perfomance with his solo project Night By Night. They begin at 22:30.
Ben Christo - legendary The Sisters Of Mercy guitarist with his solo project - blah-blah Night By Night, where the singer/keyboardist is Ania Blomberg (ex-Dance on Glass, ex-Batalion d'Amour). They go the path of traditional rock, progressive rock and the virtuoso stuff, worthy for the best guitar masters. Ben Christo comes from the independent scene.
and something on promoters with the links
right?

I like the sound of Ben, though i like the "new" Sisters songs more than the older ones (shame on me i know).
And HEY, Ania, i didnt know you are "dance on Glass", for my shame I even didnt know this group.
And HEY, Ania, i didnt know you are "dance on Glass", for my shame I even didnt know this group.
cause it's polish band.
facts:
time: ~70 min
number of song: ~9 (last song: Walk away. cover song of some unknown band- the Sisters of Mercy)
my opinion: they are sehr gut as a band playing gigs but i wouldn't be so sure about album. great gig, i was/am supprised, favourably.
scuzi for quality of this pics they were taken on my cell phone
