Burn / War on Drugs '97

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.

This is something I noticed only recently, don't know if this topic has already been beaten to death.

Anyway, the drum arrangement on the chorus of Burn (live version '97) sounds remarkably similar to War on Drugs.

I found it a bit funny, as the initial thought was that it sounded eerily famiiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Based on the Silver Bullet boots, the bit has since been replaced with a more traditional version.

Come to think of it, when was War on Drugs last played, if not 2003?
