People on here would be the 2 people!

FALAA is my least favorite of the three long-players. Too much Hussey, too many cringe-worthy lyrics ("it's just like jesus never came"), the vocals inspired too much parody.

Why isn't 'After Damage Done' an option....

I must be in the minority then, I loved the "poppy" sound and less serious lyrics. Beam me back to 1980o Scotty

Aye, I'm fine wi it too. Stop headwanking you lot

Totally agree. They would have been like Joy Division.

Whenever I want a "Fix" (pun intended) of the Sisters I always reach for something FALAA or before. I find my self preferring to listen to the demos from this era than the cock rock of later releases

For me those old demos are the real deal. I do like more recent ( )stuff also, but without those old things like Afterhours, Burn, Floorshow, Wide Receiver, etc I don't think I would be here...
A while ago I made a cdr filled with old stuff (the newest stuff were some of the Floodland demos) for a friend who is starting to get into The Sisters. She loves that stuff and I'm dead sure she wouldn't have been as happy with ASCOO
That said, every gig they do nowadays, I enjoy myself silly

Such a pity they called it a day after Under The Gun.
They should have gone on forever, of course.

I wonder what Andrew is doing now, and what his source of income is.

I seem to remember an interview where complained about the lack of response to UTG. Maybe he figured recording was not worth the effort and could get by on residual records sales and performance fees?

I remember watching UTG on MTV (when that still was a music channel) several times. It certainly wasn't neglected back then.

All Andy had to do was release a new album not long after UTG. If he'd try again nowadays, he would risk ending up with an Adam Ant experience. He's not man enough to take that risk, so he doesn't.

I think the problem was the "fans" didn't appreciate it

Probly because it was crap. That tends to happen.

Seconded. No wonder gave up if UTG and re-recordings of past glories was the best he could manage.

Oh do Get Bent!

A proud moment - been on HL nearly three years now and just earned my first "Get Bent".

It didn't matter any longer what any "fans" were thinking, since it was not only on MTV but anywhere in appropriate TV features ...

Really bad was that they didn't make another album and UTG was used mainly as the buying incentive for A Slight Case Of Overbombing ... followed by SSV ...

But hell, Bruhn had left, Tony James had left even earlier and eastwest, misdirected as usual, wanted probably something feeding the right-wing zeitgeist .... so what.

Ahem. I really liked Under the Gun.
