Some Kind Of Demos

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.

Now go and do a cover of Far Parade.
You'll have to use your imagination for the music, but I'm sure it's possible to come up with a suitable pastiche!

Not exactly. Chris on the lockout did some YT streams and i asked him about far parade's quitar parts and he played the riffs of his part. He mentioned he didn't know how exactly had :von: arranged the vocals but the rythm parts were all there. :innocent: :bat:

Haven't the riffs gone into Show Me? Sure he said that post-leaving.

One of them for sure, i think someone that heard the stream mentioned it in here when talked about that stream afterwards. Definetely Chris didn't say about "Show Me", that i remember well for sure.

Show Me is credited to Christo/Eldritch/Smith on the official site.... wouldn't it be odd for Catalyst not to have been involved in writing those riffs he played?
Regardless @iesus do you have a link to that VOD?

Chris made a lot of streams in lockdown, it would be imposible from his YT chan to search it, at least from me.
The easiest i can think of is finding in here :hl: the conversation we had about "Far Parade". We talked about it in here and commented right after the stream, it might be even the link to video in there. :bat:

An absolute gentleman and I'd take a bullet to have him back to the sisters.

If memory serves me right, he spoke about that in a different VOD, Far Parade became Show Me and possibly another song that he couldn't remember the name, however, he didn't compose any of those riffs, as they were originally Ben's riffs and at some point were played in the bass guitar.

In a new interview, Ben talks about "a Swedish guy" who has done a whole album of the new songs (it's around 18 minutes in).
So doesn't sound like they have a problem with it

I’m the Swedish reviewer he’s referring to early on in the interview. This is actually the second interview where I’ve heard him mentioning my ”Sisters 4.0” comment, very happy that he seems to think it made sense. 😅

I'd only listened to one song the other day but I just listened to the whole thing and it's made me appreciate the songs more.

A few months ago when the compilation of new songs was posted I hated them (except for Black Sail, that was alright). Quality has a lot to do with it. The live recordings sounded crappy... but then don't a lot of bootlegs sound crappy? The difference is that with the older songs we have studio versions and know how they're supposed to sound. So the brain has that as a reference when listening to a bootleg and the brain does some sort of amazing interpolation to allow you to listen to a crappy bootleg and think it sounds good. With a live version where there is no studio version we don't have that, all you have is a crappy recording with no reference. Eldritch might think that having the songs "out there" is sufficient but it really isn't, without a studio version as reference those live versions just don't stand up on their own. Mr Eldritch if you're reading, get in a studio and record those songs! I know you're not lacking a studio because home studios are ten a penny nowadays. With only a live version as representation your legacy is a lot weaker than it could be.

So thanks @FMAMMY , I enjoyed listening to them.

He really is! These 'Cult Love' series of podcasts / interviews have highlighted how tolerant you have to be in the face of people asking you questions and very evidently not remotely listening to the answers you give, just cracking on with their next question on their list / agenda. No sense of conversation at all, not too much grey matter either. He's such a sweetie to smile through it all as opposed to saying 'no mate, it's not my job to try and tell the population what they should or shouldn't think, go figure it out for yourself ffs', or better still just repeat Von's answers in the Andrew X '84 interview, which would be equally valid.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

The Sisters are always at their best when they have a member named Ben. :notworthy:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Tobias has put up another albums worth of covers.
It’s on iTunes but I haven’t checked Spotify.
I like the version of Crash and Burn.

God forbid anyone using the sisters good name in vain.. Except for time Warner/electra innit.

What bothers me is that Tobias project is outta passion, any profit that he got from it barely covered the licensing and all the rigmarole to put it on Spotify.

My main goal when I colab with him is to have fun, celebrate the sisters and have at least some sort of studio version of the new songs on iTunes or spotify, it's a shame people see it differently.

I'm glad you like it, I spent more hours tweaking and mastering it than any other song I ever produced

This was a very pleasant surprise. Hearing these songs in an actual studio style recording sounds so good, and getting wide receiver as a bonus was a huge plus!

Talking about Chris, apparently he's not ghouling with Ghost anymore. Well, maybe "anymore" is not the right word, but he's not with them in these first shows of their tour. Nobody wants Dylan out of the band, but everybody would love Chris back in, so it very well may be the chance for the Sisters having a human bassist again. 30+ years after.

as far as I know there's just fragments of available lyrics for Better reptile but if the lyrics appear some day I'll give it a try :)
