It was the kind of evening where you meet up with old friends and are reminded about Motorhead gigs you attended and had completely forgotten about. Old friends recent friends and a heart-warmingly charming lovely bloke in an elephant mask telling stories and knocking out Sisters classics. Magnificent night, cheers to you all. If Mr Marx decides to do any more of these shows I can't recommend it enough.
Listening to Gary play Burn, Damage Done etc makes you realise that beyond the swagger and style etc of the early records, they're really good songs.
Like, they hold up to rearrangement and being played by a dude with a guitar and a loop pedal. Super stuff.
I think sometimes that the modern incarnation of the Sisters hasn't leaned into these songs in quite the way they could have. I get it . . . Mr Eldritch isn't interested in nostalgia etc and would prefer to move onwards. And I'm down with that. But . . . Gary did something cool here. Love it.
Gary told me later that evening that he'd had a whole thing ready to say after playing Heartland - about the forum and our community, but he was so emotional he totally got carried away by it all and, well, he forgot
I didn't mind though - I was already almost in tears anyway. That would probably have been a bit too much.
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
Gutted to have missed this. especially after buying a ticket, but sometimes the rest of your life gets in the way of having fun. Glad everyone who went enjoyed it and thanks for the videos Anders.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
