And this makes even more sense when you recruit two interesting young guys of a different generation who can provide youthful enthusiasm, willingly undertake some of the routine tour drudgery (including press), then happily beaver away on their own side projects whilst you fanny about at home with computers and play with the cats. It's a bit like those people you get at work who "wind down" (i.e. getting near full pay for part-time work) as a prelude to retirement.sultan2075 wrote: I just don't think he can be bothered. Which is fine; one cannot do all things that one might do, and the satisfaction of one potentiality necessarily involves the closing off of various others. The satisfactions of private life are greater than those found in the hedonistic rock and roll lifestyle, I'd imagine--especially as you age. That's certainly been my experience. And let's face it: unless your Lemmy or Keith Richards, it becomes rather pathetic after a certain age. I get the impression Von is too smart for that--so the weekend job approach to the band makes sense.

Exactly!Brad wrote: The real shame is not playing any significant amount of new original material.
I don't have any problem (anymore) with no release of anything, I can really understand Andrew's motives for that and I realise it's more fun and easier and less stressful to earn your bucks touring. I would probably do the same if I were him.
But when they refuse to play the new material they obviously have written, like Far Parade, then I don't get it anymore. The cool thing with the (Pearson era) Sisters was that they actually not were a "self cover band", because they played enough new material. Today I'd say they are precisely what Andrew said they weren't back then, namely a nostalgia act. A good one, fine, but still a nostalgia act.

I can't agree to that.
First of all they play all these songs they way they should be played in 2011/2 - not like in the 1990ies, and fortunately so ...
...
Secondly, there are new covers, plenty experiments on sound and arrangements, all of which clearly mark some major improvement.
And - one never knows what's to come ...
...
Also Far Parade is somewhat overcome by now. Not much use to turn it into music anymore ...

The good thing is that Eldo only changed haircut and sunglasses and songs.DeWinter wrote:I seem to remember reading on The Sisters website Eldo being astonished that the band were no longer considered major label worthy anymore. Im at a bit of a loss as to why he imagines they would be, none of their contemporaries have managed that, even bands with more commercial success like Dead or Alive.stufarq wrote:Not really. It's just the same carefully rehearsed excuses designed to make them sound more important than they really are.copper wrote: Guess that answers a few questions.

...That appears to be footage of a bunch of people shouting. Possibly a protest or demonstration somewhere.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Waow... I thought I missed something in the discussion. But it seems not. We are discussing a potential new album, right?
