Backup vocals

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.

I have to say that some of the "Newer adaptations" of their songs are rather good, but Anaconda? I have literaly never laughed so hard then cringed when the chorus came in. For that fact, I must agree with you.
A man with a fictitious grin pondered the terrain in which he flooded with anguish, for this is England. The lion cannot be tamed, this is the game.

Anaconda is needed in the set for toilet/smoke breaks though. :twisted:

Preferably 8 or 9 songs away from Amphetamine Logic in case you need to go twice. ;D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

WTF is wrong with you guys, she-weevil Anaconda is the best.

Adam and Chris's singing in the first verse of Flood II is a bit off sometimes. But I guess singing backup to Andrew's no-note-in-particular can't be the easiest.

Well, for me there's no denying the background singing WAS, uhm, hard to bear at times ... :eek: :roll: :eek: ... :lol: ...

In fact, they noted it themselves and these problems were effectively resolved during the last tour
(which for sure was not an easy task given the disparity of natural loudness in human voices).

However, no more reason for complaints from here ... ;D ...
