What he does is draw a line through a song on the set list when it's done, then clicks a bit, then readopts the pose as the next tune starts.

Why don’t they just give Chris a guitar?!
The dominant need of the needy soul is to be needed.
He hasn't learned the new songs. That'll take time, if it happens at all.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
tough job
True, but his Sharpie action is exemplary, you can't fake this.

You people seem to find the collapse of the current line-up funny?
I don't agree.

There are different responses to your question, one is of course that you have to laugh, or you'd be crying. Secondly though, Dylan leaving isn't a collapse of the current line up, he's been there what, four years? Eldritch and Christo have been together for almost two decades and having Chris back in the the fold actually increased the average year's the band has played together. I personally expect Mr Catalyst to return to the guitar once Davey returns. And if he doesn't? This isn't the first tour they've done with only one guitarist.Fodderstompf wrote: ↑26 Sep 2023, 20:18 You people seem to find the collapse of the current line-up funny?

I'm sure it's not the "collapse" of The Sisters as such. And there's no point (and no time) to cry now over spilt milk.
We can only make the best of what is now and enjoy what we've got.

The power and determination coming offstage tonight was unmistakable. This is not a band that's giving up.

No, it's a bit of a tragedy. But I'm here still having fun and finding fun in a music show. On a personal level I'm really worried about Dylan but I can't change that so I'll make the most of the shows I've spent many hundreds of pounds to see and enjoy them.
Is that ok with you?

I hope Dylan can resolve his issues & i hope Ravey Davey’s Mrs gets well soon.
It is possible to laugh & cry simultaneously, especially as a Sisters fan x

All very curious. I remember a few years ago reading how desperate Chris had been to get a credit as co-author of a Sisters song. Almost as soon as he left and Dylan joined, the website was awash with songs co-credited Smith. It looked slightly vindictive.
But in a few recent interviews, Andrew has implied Chris is pretty much his closest friend. Dylan's self-description on his own website proile as (among other things) "mentor" implies perhaps he'd been forgetting who calls the shots in the Sisters: not something Ben has ever been unsure of.
If you read yesterday's "Creative Independent" Eldritch interview, it's clear that while he enjoys coming up with good songs, it's purely for pleasure: if it happens, great, but if it doesn't, so what? As he says, he knows how the new songs would sound if recorded – and no doubt, some of them have been. But he doesn't give a damn whether we find out or not – and why should he? As a 64-year-old who's said farewell to too many of his friends from the '80s, he's (rightly) more interested in doing what he wants to do with the rest of his time – rather than fulfilling our fantasy of the fourth album.
Best advice is to get to the front of as many gigs as possible, and lose yourself in the noise, smoke and lights.

I'll say he's Jim Bob because Christo has Fruitbat's hair.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.
I'll see what happens. But I wanted to at least see the line-up with Dylan as the new songs are great imo. So I sold my tickets after he'd gone. I don't regret it and it's very sad what's happened.Fodderstompf wrote: ↑26 Sep 2023, 20:18 You people seem to find the collapse of the current line-up funny?

Quite nice gig! Think they compensated best being short of one guitarist. Chris was not only nurse — he kept making paper planes which did not fly …
Overall chemistry on the stage was good. Looking forward to Köln.
Props to The Virginmarys — rocked liked hell
