Craig Adams played Temple of Love

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.

Wow, that is too cool. A Sisters song with live drums and a living bass player. It is also nice to hear the original guitar line much more in front of the mix, although too bad the camera man never cut over to Adrian Portas.
As a Spear of Destiny fan I'd love to have heard Kirk Brandon doing the vocals.
Mary Bell, we knew you well...

Vocals aren't good but it's great to hear a proper bass on the song

Indeed. The previous week the Fields of the Nephilim headlined the Bram Stoker festival there.

First we have Wayne whimsically reminiscing about FALAA, then Von smiling, SMILING, at someone filming him at a gig, now we have Craig playing TOL. The reunion is on people, I tell you... :innocent:

singing:

Imagine there's no m*****n,
It's easy if you try,
No separate bands,
playing one song,
Imagine all ex-band members
playing for us today.

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one,
I hope someday they'll reunion for us
And the world will be as one.

/singing.

thank you, you were wonderful audience.
I'll get my coat.

Honestly, I think a reunion is a terrible idea.

From Wayne: So this is what me ol' mucker was getting up to last weekend on Halloween.....Mr. Craig Adams on vocals with Spear Of Destiny playing 'Temple Of Love' at the Whitby Goth Festival! I duuno if it was intended to be scary but it's actually a pretty damn fine version, far better than we used to play it back in the day when Craig and I were in The Sisters Of Mercy. Does anybody else think he sounds a bit, just a bit, like Ian Curtis? And it's good to hear the bass on that song. I believe the current line-up of the Sisters are needing a bass player......For those out there that frown upon such shenanigans, lighten up. Craig has every right to play that song as he did co-write it......allegedly.
Oh, by the way, I'm playing the Whitby Goth Festival myself next April, headlining on Saturday 23rd, I believe. I can promise I won't be playing Temple Of Love but, mmm, maybe it's time for me to have a go at something from FALAA that I had a hand in writing. Any suggestions? More details on the festival when we get 'em.
