Its that guitar sound........

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.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Let the boy do his thing, imo. Obviously whatever Wayne is doing isn't compatible with the Sisters and it's not very productive to juxtapose them like that, but I enjoyed the song.

Plus, I think both Andrew and Gary have credited him for the overarching sound of FALAA, the richness of arrangement and the gloomy-pretty guitars. Those are like the defining qualities of one era of the Sisters, and Wayne brought them to the band.
