A crazy idea - help, please

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.

You can cut out the stage-smoke and lights from this one, and hand over the rest back to me... :twisted:

But really, do as I did, Google on "Hi res" or even "Super hi res" and have a stroll...

James - your examples are cheesy indeed, but my idea is not I assure you. :) Izzy - these two links are great but form is not all I that want, I also seek the content that I want. :) Pikkrong - LOL. I luv y'all. :)

Thank you all for all the PMs. :notworthy:
More PMs are always welcome. :notworthy: ;D
I am going away for 2 weeks now (going to take a groomer's course at the seaside, yes I'm going to be a hairdresser for dogs :D seriously), so don't take it amiss if your PMs are left unread until July 17th. :)

Naah, I don't like Wake. I mean I like it because it's The Sisters, but it's far from my favourite Sisters stuff.

lemme xplain, m'lud:
For an extremely long time all I had was Wake (album, singles, Peel sessions, OGWT accepted). My very cool The Mum bought it for me the Christ~mass it was released. I've made a point of watching it every Christ~mass night since then, just like that very first time. Information wasn't the overload it is today, it was hard to find out about your faves. I only bought NME regularly or another 'inky' if it had The Sisters on the cover. I was obsessed but not mental, at that time Shriekback were another obsession. I found some guys into ver'Back but TSOM fans/mates were slim.
Back to the chase - that 3 piece Sisters did an admiral job at the RAH and it really is down to Wayne being able to 'fill in' for the departed.
Say what you like but, his solo on 'Knockin' still makes the hairs on my arms stand up. I realise this is a personal take and maybe should have its own thread (Mod?).
What tours as A Sisters of mercy (note lack of Uppercase) these days upsets me so much that I refuse to go and see them. I'm sure RoboBreezer and Bubbleheid are keen chaps and ken their chops, it's the singist I have trouble with, and the crap snoud, and the same auld fuckin' setlist.

most peeps round here will put up with, what I view as a very unprofessional show

but ye already ken whaur I stand ;D

sorry for hijacking your thread _emma_ :|

Wake has always been pure rock melancholia to me, that's why i loves it. The heady atmosphere of things surging before they fall apart ~ that and the blinding geetars as perfectly summed up by Herr Blast above. My VHS copy damn near snapped from overuse!

I got a DVD copy (from VHS) and I wore that out from watcing it so many times.

Mind you, it did have one of the CD Stomper labels on it so maybe that had something to do with it (just going by what I've read on here about even Sharpies ink eventually having bad effects of the playing surface).


Emma,
At least you'll be able to get the type of pic you want from the Leamington Spa gig.
And I ride down the Highway 101

No no, I'm not the type of person who takes photos at gigs. I just stand there and watch y'know, because: a) I would be too nerwous to use a camera, b) even if I weren't nervous, I wouldn't know how to use a professional camera properly, I'm a crappy photographer I really am. :lol:

But I'll be glad to use a photo taken by someone else, with kind permission. :D

Maybe something from the Floodland era?
The Petra ruins might be sofa- friendly, or maybe a factoryscape from Lucretia? Either photographed by someone like Simon Marsden would look stunning.
