Isn't it time for a backstage pass?

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.

Dearest Emma,


Ben might be lovely and all..but we need a proper guitar player.....for the 1st time ever.....AND a proper bass player.......We had that back in the day.....why can't we have it again? Cos Von is a cheap bugger and doesn't want them on his payroll? This I ask you.........

I like Ben. His guitar parts are fresh and powerful. Especially his solo in Something Fast is brilliant! :lol:

I don't know, I have no idea what a "proper guitar player" is. I am just a listener, without any theoretical knowledge about music. I either like what I hear or I don't, and Ben I like.

:lol: Indeed Camy. :D It was a great gig wasn't it. :notworthy:

As for "proper guitar players", well maybe in the first place we should admit that our beloved Lead Singer is not really a "proper singer" either. He has the feel and the vibe and the moves and the form and content and everything :von: :notworthy: :kiss: but let's face it he's not José Carreras is he. ;D I personally believe that The Sisters have never been about technique and skill, this is not what defines them. 8)

I actually think Ben's playing (in the context of TSOM) has improved, and that he fits in, stylistically, a lot better than he did when he first came on board.

No, it was my ultimate gig experience ever.

It was really surreal moment, when Von throwed that bottle to me. :notworthy:
