Cover endorsed by the Sisters

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.

Lovely, indeed ... cool video ... and great singing, which is especially rare for Sisters covers.

Those onscreen YouTube adverts are really getting out of hand.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Good question. Most likely Andrew doesn't give a f**k what Chris writes there and is probably fine with him running the show nowadays. One less irritating task for :von: so he can concentrate on important things like computer games, cat food and hentai ;D

Sounds like an early version of R.E.M. trying to deconstruct a Sisters' opus.

Actually is more daring than REM in orchestration and usage in instruments. I like it :D
Got to listen to it again some times while i drive my car in a country road. (Best way for me to concentrate on new songs)

Chris is usually fastidious about separating his personal view (ie his own account) from TSOM official communications, so as the band are currently presumably together ahead of the gig tomorrow, I suppose that you could say that Morriss' version is officially approved.

I liked it. Unlike most Sisters covers, it never made me embarrassed to listen to it. I like covers like this because they display how excellent a songwriter Von is (when he can be bothered) - his songs translate very well to multiple idioms.

I liked it too - along with the Lambchop version of This Corrosion it illustrates, as Sultan notes, the songwriting craft.

Plus its reminiscent of the way The Sisters would take a well known song and re interpret it - i.e. Emma, Gimme Gimme Gimme and Jolene...

I kind of like it. At least it isn't someone pretending to be :von: again.

You mean the voice of course, but everything else the singer does here is pure imitation like in no other cover I've seen, in a rather funny way that made me laugh :)
