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.
With very kind permission from The "Von" Ben Christo from The Sisters of Mercy will be playing
guitar for Ayin Aleph on her European Tour. You can go
to her website to win 2 places on The Guest List for
the show nearest to you. (from Friday)
Does she have any qualities other than, well, the obvious ones?
Why not have a listen or a look at the videos and judge for yourself? That would be the intellectual thing to do, surely. personally I think she has lots of qualities but it really depends upon your taste. If you like symphnic harmony and operatic gusto then you'll like it, maybe. Or maybe, you'll just end up "admiring" her "obvious talents" as maybe, that's as deep as your intellect will allow your taste to develop.
Seriously, I really didnt expect such blatently sexist remarks on a Sister's site. I find that remark highly offensive.

Her voice and technique is quite nice, but her melody and there rest of the band's melodies are very dissonant. That means it sounds bad and toe-curling for a musician. Sometimes this is good, but here it is very annoying.

OK, this is how I see it. I've read some opinions and comments posted here about various more or less recognised musicians (by "more or less recognised" I mean those who may be kinda cool or not, but will obviously never become a new George Michael if you know what I mean). Sometimes I even felt like adding my own opinion, but I bit my tongue because I know that it should be all about tastes, which shouldn't be discussed, and so on.... But suddenly I had a thought that I think I should share with you. I think that if Ayin Aleph was a long-time, general-chat-frequenting, all-HL-meetings-attending member of this forum, she would receive a lot of kind words and back patting here.

Not true... bad music is bad music, be it HL-based or not.
I'm a musician (at least that's what I think ) and I judge music in the most objective way possible.
Also I don't need sucking up on some people on an internet forum to make myself feel happy and wanted.
how about we not offend Ben's friend and just say:
