Doktor Avalance's bass playing

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.

It's gamer slang, a deliberate typo on "own", which in turn means "to be rather good" or "to defeat" - mostly the latter, apparently, but in the circles I frequent it tends to be the former.

Even in his current state, Mr Burton would wipe the floor with any Sisters bassist, mechanoid or otherwise. :notworthy:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

I haven't heard it done by the Doktor. I do though have quite a liking for the sound of real bass with a drum-machine.

:( Sad that a real bassist gives nod to synth. I thought that you liked the sound of Tony James playing in the life recordings. :(

My vote (not that it means much) goes to a live player. Even those on the current tour seemed open to having a flesh and blood bassist on stage.

Oooohhh, couple of good uns spring to mind:

1) Justin Chancellor - of TOOL, could do it once he's got the upcoming Tool Dates out of the way, which on the downside might take a couple of years.... his Bass sound is perfect, and his technical ability is way above anything The Sisters have ever had before... could do it when maynard's doing the next APC thing?

2) Raven, from Killing Joke... now THERE'S a juggernaut of a Bass sound.

I'm afraid he might even be too good techniquewise. You don't wanna spoil the fun, do you ? :wink: :lol:
That'd be such a break from the Craig Adams - Tony James tradition.

I dunno, thought Craig was at times pretty darn good... I always got RSI trying to play bass to "wasteland", could never keep the riff going... whereas I can play "46and2" ; therefore, I deduce that Craig is BETTER than Justing Chancellor??!!!

I note you didn't mention Patsy?? :D

Goff ain't enough. (sincere apologies to mister Eastwood)

I might say I honestly forgot her, but even I ain't going to buy that. :oops: ;D

The second's a very good choice. That would be :notworthy: Though Joke need him really.

Yup.. Trouble is not only is he now The Joke's full time bassist, he also holds the same position in Ministry as well.


And to be bassist in The Sisters / Killing Joke / Ministry would kind of mean that Raven would need to be referred to the monoplies comission thingy...

Ok, I'm slow on the uptake.... hadn't looked at the KJ forum for a couple of days, and now it seems that Raven will NOT be playing with Killing Joke on their April tour....
