Sad when you listen or watch old bootlegs with Chris in. So young

Very.

Re albums, FALAA wins for me.

Rankings are wankings, but contrary to the church it is not unhealthy so I would choose everything from 1981-1985. Plain simple.

the best album? the best sisters album is an (incomplete) and sonically bastardized collection of the 7 & 12" singles that were available before ANY album proper (thats not an opinion it's a FACT).....and technically Floodland had no line-up. so unless you are going to be brave and say Vision Thing (in which case good for you for your honest and not being a mish-troll or a back-in-t'-day whinger) it has to be FALAA.....which doesnt feature the best line-up.

IMO The Reptile House EP is the closest thing to perfection that the Sisters have committed to vinyl. Eldritch/Marx/Adams/Gunn.

My fav album is Vision Thing. Possibly if such a thing could exist the most prophetic album in term of world politics ever though the Reptile House is close. Fav line-up is more difficult as each line up is equated with a particular period. it's like saying what's the fav period of your life? I have a soft spot for them all, even the terrible haircuts and dodgy shirts.

Chuck in Good Things (slow version) and Jolene, and you have it nailed.

I dunno I'm a little disappointed in The Sisters now to be honest.

Yes they have become a cyber driven tribute to former glory

tributes to former glory is what the m*****n currently endeavour ... but of course, that's not The Sisters and never will be. Wrong spirit.

Think we should ask Gary about that
The Sisters spirit died April 1985

The godawful evangelism from both sides of this ancient argument is becoming annoying.

I saw Da Mish do a fab gig in Liverpool on Friday, several other members of this forum were there too. Others present had Sisters tee-shirts on. The overlap in audience is huge and everyone goes to enjoy a rock n roll show, OK, some lyrics are cringey, but the noise they make is great.

I'm looking forward to Da Mish again this weekend and The Girls in the autumn too, I will see friends old and new from this forum at both gigs and that is how it should be.

I honestly have no time for evangelism of any type, to me it is abhorrent as racism or sexism. Live and let live, it's only Rock n roll but we like it x

I'll wind me neck in now and go and have a puff on me vape lol

After Wayne had walked in and spread his sermon ... ...


@Swinnow
Love to hear you (and others) had a good night and wishing you all the best ... ... as long as you don't try to force me to join...

Nah
If you remember AE wanted to take the band to a more keyboard based sound
AE was becoming more controlling so Gary hoped off the bus followed by Wayne and Craig via they didn't wanna play the stuff AE had written

... for the next album. And that was much later than when Gary left. He did so explicitly, because the atmosphere was spoilt. There is some interview somewhere, maybe you know which one ...

Becoming obsessed with control usually refers to various causes, one of which is heavy substance usage, the other one is broken trust. It's ok that peeps leave and form a new band, if they don't like the direction their current band is takin'. Stuff like that happens everyday on the schoolyard ... just like the pissing ... yawn ...

Yep your right
The whole anti WH and CA thing is playground stuff and was over long ago

Sweet, good old thread to chuckle about, Liverpool won and I might open a bottle of Birkenhead's finest fighting brandy to celebrate with. If Mr Rhombus is lurking I'm sure he will approve of my choice of quaff.

@Being, I know better than to drag you screaming into a Mish gig, even after filling you with said brandy. Hopefully, see you in London though.

That were nice ... however, the Saturday show is nearly sold out (no more tickets near stage) ... and I'm still reluctant due to the cost ...

@Being, know what you mean, London is horrific even to us island monkeys. Come to Leeds next time the girls play there, the spare room is yours to do as you will x

Leeds is even more far away than London, but maybe, one day ... ...

Leeds is so more civilised though lol
