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 don't see Mr. McBrain (best last name ever!) or a similarly "busy" drummer working for The Sisters. I'm currently in awe of Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree- he's just phenominal- but I don't see that kind of playing fitting in too well with The Girls at all.
They would need someone who's more John Bonham- hard hitter, great groove, not a ton of fills- rather than someone who's more Keith Moon. Since Bonham's been dead for about as long as TSOM's been around, I nominate Jeff Burrows from The Tea Party. Canadian band, sorta Doors/Zeppelin meets NIN sound, very cool. He's a total Bonham clone. They broke up a year or two ago, so he should be free.

I think that Social Distortion era Chuck Biscuits would be a good shot. He's not too complicated, and he pounds the skins like a motherfucker--besides, how can you dislike a man whose kickdrum bore the legend "Bring me the head of Evan Dando"?

Bass is a whole different matter. The Girls have always used a drum machine and that's very fine, but they do miss a human bass player. The Dok doesn't even have a great bass sound.
I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you
