Sisters' Covers....

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.

I said it about 2 or 3 years ago, but I still reckon Von would give Angels by Robbie Williams a good shot. He might even end up making it his own.

It would be very difficult to even imagine him contemplating covering a song by a goth band.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Oh my goodness I just thought of the best possible song. It isn't too dreadfully inappropriate, so it probably won't get done. But

"The Clampdown" - by The Clash.

I'd love to hear "Lost in the Supermarket" or "The Guns of Brixton" too. Sorry, London Calling is in the running for the best album of all time in my book.

:notworthy: YES! Von needs something commercial to get the backing. I think that is the single to go on the new album. The only problem is he won't get as much €$£€$£€$£ and would be lining the pocket of the Fat-Dancer, therefore he has another excuse not to release anything

I just noticed yesterday that the bass in Sandra's 'Maria Magdalena' sound a lot like the Sisters in the 84-85 era. So why not:
You take my love
You want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life
Why can't you see what I am
Sharpen the senses and drawn the knife
Heurt me and you'll understand

I'll never be Maria Magdalena
You're a creature of the night
Maria Magdalena
You're a victim of the fight
You need love
Promesse me delight
You need love

Why must I lie
Find any prize
When will you wake up and realize
I can't surrender to you
Play for affection and
Win the prize
I know those party games too

I'll never be Maria Magdalena
You're a creature of the night
Maria Magdalena
You're a victim of the fight
You need love
Promesse me delight
You need love
He might have to find somebody to do the backing vocals though.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

80s pop icon ? Decent tune ? Lyrics that could fit Von's style ?
Good idea. 8)

She was a two hit wonder, one of which was 'Maria Magdalena'. I kind of like that song, even though it's on the wrong side of the 80's :P. The Girls covering it, I imagine, would sound something like 'After Hours' mixed with 'Sugar Baby Love'. Well, that's the vibe I would go for anyway... ;D

There's a much better finnish rock song called 'Maria Magdalena', by a rather obscure band Mana Mana from the early 90s. They were profound and groovy at the same time.

Actually they recorded songs in english too so good luck in finding them, i heartily recommend.

Ahh, this was a thread about Sisters covers, but please note that i wasn't the one who started talking about Maria Magdalena.

i think :von: could pull off a half decent version of 'Ich Will' by Rammstein

or perhaps a moody ballad-y type wail to
'The fields of Athen Rye'

i still believe that goth has its roots in Irish folk music,
its just soooooo goddam depressing!!!

If there would be a god, he would make Andrew sing this song.
