Mhuwhahaaa!

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.

:roll:
ok- so i was never going to like it; but aside from the fact that the guitarist really should have learnt the actual guitar line, why does the dull-and-poncey singer have to attempt an eldritch-a-like voice which had me clicking it off before Alice had put her party dress on? :urff:
Well I was handsome and I was strong

The guitar and speed were fine. The vocalist.. well, unless it's a foreign accent, he sounded crap.

On the other hand, this was a great cover, I quite like the idea of having a town covered in lyrics. :lol:

Absobloodylutely! Excellent cover (is it just new vocals over an orig Sissies version? either way its stonking) and fabulous video. :notworthy: Almost makes the girls seem relevant again. :von:

I don't mind the speed, at least it's an attempt to do something different.

But why on earth 99% of Sisters cover versions need to sound like the singer is a transylvanian inside a Darth Vader helmet at 16 rpm is quite beyond me.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I think it's because 99% of the bands that do Sisters covers, er....suck something awful. They also tend to be rather doltish.

i saw this - good things- videos on myspace few months ago, but i though that everybody had seen that, and yes i like this one to, enough dirt and raw as original and singer doesn't try to pretend that he's a eldo.

So, who's in Rotterdammerung, and can you check if any of the graffitti is still there, and maybe get a mugshot of yourself beside some?
