Favourite Sisters Bass thing

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.

Eldritch wrote it and Herr Doktor played it.
As for the current live version - why does Eldritch do anything?
May I recommend the Smurphs for the original and full version live?
Been thinking about this some more. My logic was that the only reason Eldritch could have was "Hey, look, Patricia, this bassline you wrote, the song's better without it! Ner ner!" However, even if Patricia didn't write it, Eldritch knows that the bassline is associated with her. So he could be saying "Hey, look, Patricia, this bassline everyone thinks you wrote (even though you didn't) the song's better without it! Ner ner!"

Like you say, trying to figure Eldritch's motivations is a tricky business,

Oh, and re: Smurphs, just been listening to some mp3s off of their site. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
