Vison Thing sans Eldo - old news?

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.

Good point. But well done them for doing it.

As has been said, it's a bit strange to hear it without AE but perhaps even stranger when everyone on stage is a very recent addition to the band and not been entirely accepted by some of the fanbase.

Accept it people: for this song at least, Chris, Ben and Simon were The Sisters Of Mercy. :twisted:

That... was pretty goddam great.

Seconded! After all, :von: may ever be the paramount leader but what would they be without their, uh, rather rabid fans?

:notworthy: to Ben and Chris - I really like what they've brought to the Sisters.

That's very true ... and that's how it should be, of course ... despite everything I wrote before ...

I must have been led by certain questionable personal impressions .. :oops: :roll: .. I'll never get rid of that, obviously. :(

Haha, it's ridiculous - when Jimbo couldn't do a Doors gig and Ray sang, some total idiots actually said that! Like some nut bitch from Jefferson Airplanes. Now i've heard Ray "sing"...and he has no clue to what singing is.

But some people...well, there's a few for every train going the wrong way.

He sounds like some sleazy lounge singer...at least these days. :urff:

Although his half singing/half talking memoirs-of-Jim show is kind of...interesting. ;D
