Kai playing Black Planet & RAAHP on Instagram

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.

Funnily enough, that’s what went through my head…seems an odd choice to showcase on IG…maybe it’s ready to debut live??

At least here, it requires logging to the Instatfart, so no use for me.

I remember Ben I think, a few years ago, saying that the band had an arrangement worked out and it was effectively ready to play, but just needed Von to agree to it.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Same for Possession, which was on two setlists back in 2014 but dropped right before the gigs started.
I believe we even have photos of those two setslits with Possession printed on them.

I remember rumours that it was down for Amsterdam in 2017 as well.

The Black Planet play through is kinda okay. Like, just playing over the record etc.

But the version of RAAHP Kai is playing slaps. It sounds like he's playing over a meaty actual backing track. It sounds muscular. Love it.

I'd be overjoyed if both of those songs came back.

So while we’re here, remember how good Walk Away was live a few years go despite Von’s obvious dislike?
Let’s do that

Yeah, that FALAA-packed setlist still brings joy to my heart.

FALAA, Marian, NTTC, Walk Away, Logic, A rock and a Hard Place.

Not to mention we also got Body and Soul and Body Electric back around that time.

Also since we are here, Train/Detonation is a lot, and I mean A LOT better than Jeep/Detonation, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.

Thanks.

Listened. I'm in between of finishing and presenting last songs from the latest, and maybe even presenting something completely new. But any refresh of the setlist is most welcome.

Slim pickings these days alright. Obviously never gonna happen. Debut some more of the new stuff at least.

My money's on Black Planet getting a debut on the US tour. It'll tickle Von's catastrophe.

Makes sense, Kai isn't going to spend time learning songs that won't get played live when there's so many to catch up on/refine. ARAAHP sounds pretty good, colour me pleasantly surprised.

That’s what I say.
And follow them with a Romeo Down :D :notworthy:

I get the Black Planet / America joke / context, though Bury Me Deep / Blood Money / Possession would be better choices in my book if they really want to revisit that era. Anyway, same rules apply as ever, not my band so they can play what the fk they like. I'm sure, as with the Walk Away debacle of 2017, 99.9% of the audience will go nuts the second they recognise Black Planet.

At the moment though I'm more interested in Metallica playing Inamorata live than I am the Sisters resurrecting ancient songs.

Remember the time when everyone wanted them to play new songs?! I've seen people in Facebook complaining that they don't know any songs! :lol:
