Hahah. I think part of it depends on which songs you prefer, too, and what sound. The current lineup does a brilliant job on the ones I happen to like, although the dissatisfaction of the Logic people is understandable. Not entirely the guitarists fault though, and still better than the studio version...

Marx was the most important if not the best. Helped to influence the band more than any other guitarist. Without him there may have been no Sisters post the first few years... Hussey should have been great because musically he is spot on, if lyrically wayward.

1.Pearson
2.Pearson
3.Pearson

He captured the soul and spirit of The Sisters,don't start me again on this one

Marx - Hussey (

Marx - Gunn


My least favourite are definetely the Bruhn-Bricheno era , livewise that is of course, in the studio they were great.

It's confusing just how cagey the Vision Thing guitarists / bassist are about how much they actually contributed to the album proper - are they worried Eldritch's lawers'll leap on 'em and tear their throats out, a la the rabbit from Holy Grail, if they inadvertently lay claim for a single lone note they didn't really... erm... pluck?

Also'd be nice if Pat M could also put it on the record exactly how much of her bass, was in our face, as it were...

I once saw Kirk Hammett wearing a Sisters shirt while playing live, so I am going with him.

I met James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet at Rock City in Nottingham the day after they played Donington Monsters of Rock in 1987.They were there as guests of a certain ex Sisters guitarist who's band were playing a fan club gig there that day...

Andreas had no problems talking about the studio sessions. Tim was a latecomer so he had little input. John Perry's work is not disputed.

Besides, Tony James claimed a lyric for which he is not credited.

I'd have to go with Gary + Wayne - however, I think Ben & Chris play First And Last And Always better than anyone else that I have heard.

i agree with Jeremiah Ben and Chris play First and Last and Always better than anyone ever did...
also there are other songs that were better performed live by certain guitarist duos than others, therefor this question cannot be answered by saying simply this guitarists where better together than the others

Vibe wise.....Pearson and Marx.... I also just happen to like Bruhn as he actually had a Floyd on his guitar.......but to be honest......Pearson and Marx rule ..and I have to say Varjak was an excellent rhythm guitarist.

Marx first, always and never any question. The fact that his input in forming the band and defining it's early sound is not being recognised more is disgraceful. Floorshow, Heartland, FALAA, Nine While Nine, SKOS: where would the Sisters be without them? Shame on the lot of you!

Eldritch in second place. His work on Reptile House, Temple of Love and Floodland is critical. The Marx/Eldritch pairing is the Sisters as they were originally meant to be.

Catalyst/Christo come next; they completely revitalised the band at a crucial time.

Hussey? He's a competent and technically proficient player who writes some nice twiddly bits from time to time, but what did he ever really do to make his mark in the band? A handful of tracks over a year and half. Must try harder.

Pearson? A competent rock guitarist but goddammit weren't the Sisters bloody grim during his tenure?

I'm not the biggest fan of the actual line-up....
I don't like Def Leppard

I agree, Rafal.

It's like chosing between getting shot in the head or being decapiteded. Both lead to instant death, but if you'd ask me, I'd go for the shot

Yes, I'd say that just about sums it up. Though I'd add that Varjak, Starling, and the Vision Things guys (inc. John Perry) were good as well. There's not been one that I actively disliked.
