Possible Sisters covers?

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.

What song, old or new, would you like the Sisters to cover? Since they have had some really successful covers in the past, they CAN actually improve on the original song… “Emma,” for example.

Angels.



I've thought for years that this would work well in a Sisters style.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I've always thought this would work well, in part because in some ways it already sounds like a Sisters song:

--
The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Hey Pista.
Thanks for the welcome! Hmm. How about “A Girl Like You,” by Edwyn Collins. Or maybe even “Love My Way,” by the Psychedelic Furs. The Sisters are quite versatile, you know.

I do have my dream of them playing "We built this city on Rock & Roll" in Leeds, but last time I mentioned that I was told, in no uncertain terms, "if this actually happens we'll know it was your fault". :lol:

Good call! But maybe 30 years ago. Sadly Von's pipes could only really do justice to a very select few low-register growly tunes these days, anything else just gets murdered as per That's When i Reach For my Revolver. Play to your strengths, hence not for the first time I'd suggest E1M1 from Doom, or Quad Machine from Quake 2 :von:

Planet D, Eldritch plays to his strengths in all things, so he could transpose a tune down an octave to suit his needs. But then, there’s always GPT?
