Somebody went there and covered Damage Done

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.

Awful. is that what they call 'darkwave'? dirged-down synth pop . like playing the 'fade to grey' single onn 33 and thinking its better like that. Awful. fake-goth nonsense.

In the immortal words of Eddie Hitler, I think I'll just put "bollocks".
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

As mh put in a thread about a Roundhouse show - "Von does look like Eddie Hitler in that jacket, though." There's always a link,...

To the tune. At first I thought it was broken. Then I realised it wasn't. Then I started to actually quite like it, especally when I stopped thinking of it as a Sisters cover.

And captures the Fisher Price instruments thrash aesthetic perfectly.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

These shoegaze covers are fine, but I was thinking that if any Sisters track screams out for the cheesiest possible techno remix it's this one.

Something like this.

And oh, I guess since we're now doing versions of Damage Done, here's my personal Abrimaal-tribute-version, appropriately titled "The Damaged One" - enjoy, or hide behind the sofa, as you see fit.
