Pipeline

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.

Same here :D
A song covered by so many bands already, but I think it works very well for The Sisters!

I heard one of their ellpees back in 84, I haven't bothered since, shabby Rolling Stones/New York Dolls/sub Aerosmith trash rock

there's far better out there, like Aerosmith

It all comes down to personal preference but
I much prefer Hanoi Rocks to Aerosmith
Hanoi Rocks I saw several times in the early 80s and again a few years back, absolutely fantastic live and pretty good on vinyl
Aerosmith? - what I have heard on record, nothing without RUN DMC

I am very disappointed that Ben and Chris did not manage the beautifully co-ordinated guitar dancing that appears on the Chantays video. I have often thought they should be more like the Shadows....

The scene was with The Wanderers being chased through the alleyways by The Fordham Baldies.

I can now play the main riff, but am struggling with the progression/key change bit.

Whatever about hearts now, and still taking your word for granted although I've been warned I've slightly elaborated that page in the Wiki now ... :lol: ...

I would point you in the direction of 'Greatest Hits 1973-88' or 'Live Bootleg'. It's all rather different to their MTV era / post-Run DMC collaboration output. In a good way.

Also, if you like Blues Rock, Aerosmith put out a great roots album in 2004 called 'Honkin' on Bobo'.

Some of their music from the mid 80s to early 2000s I can take. Most I can leave.
