Rise Of The Machines

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.

That sounds like another thread in the making - Who would be ideal guitarists to replace Chris & Ben? :P

I just hope they both Chris and Ben stay in the band for as long as possible, because they are good and it would be difficult to find somebody equally good to replace them. Not impossible probably, because the world is full of good and skilled and talented guitar players, but these two seem to have the kind of personalities that fit in that band very well these days.
good points well made :notworthy: :notworthy:

I've just remembered the majority of initial reactions about Chris joining the band a couple of years ago.
How funny are some of the things that time brings.
Thank God good old AE is still the only certain and incontestable part of it all.
:oops:

I think I'll go find that in the archives, see if I twisted the knife...

I've met Chris a few times, and he's a jinyouwine stahhrrr so I reckon I'll owe him a beer!

Anyhow, the Sisters ain't over 'till the little guy (won't) sing!
