Sisters of Murphy video got thumbsdown

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The video from Sisters of Murphy live with Crash and Burn was thumbsdown
perhaps it is not the best version ever in this cover but certainly not only a thumbsdown :s

Musically not deserving of the thumbs down ... but I can't help feeling that, especially when they've all gone to so much trouble to replicate the sound, instruments, sartorial elegance etc, perhaps the singers barnett could do with just a little more work.

The video sucks big time in terms of recording quality so what's the problem with a thumbs down if the package looks and sounds just bad. Do I need to start a thread for any thumbs down I got for my vids over the years or may I continue not caring about this? :wink:

Without comments it's impossible to know quite which aspect the thumbs are directed at ... could be the quality ... could be the overall content ... could be anything really.

to clear things up. my post was trying to say that they make a far better job of it than what tours as A Sisters Of Mercy these days, it's got bass for one thing, never mind a bloke that can actually sing, then there's Mia - that just ices the cake for me

what's the thumb down all about?

I got through 13 seconds.

When the audio quality is that bad, it's probably better to not post it to youtube at all.

If you cannot stand a thumbsdown now and then you should not stay into music business. It never bothers me, and I think the Smurphs think the same way.

Agreed!
