Tim b. busy again

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.

Not as good as Motorhead, but better than The Birthday Party, which makes us pretty damn good.

You know, he never joined the Sisters out of fandom.. It was a job. One he gave us a lot of joy with as he is great with guitars, but a job.

As soon as you get paid, it's a job.. I always felt Tim liked The Sisters as a band, but not the politics of being part of such a big machine.

Think he has his own outfit now. Julianne Regan said as much. Surely Tim was a bit of a hired gun after he left the Eves. I mean, he had played with the Mish on some summer festival dates in 1990 prior to joining the Sisters (together with the bulk of the crew). Then all the CNN stuff started...

@ tim: as far as i know andy approached tim b. with something to the effect of "ey oop mate, wanna play guitar again on the forthcoming tour? a hired hand, like! 400 quid a gig...?"

to which tim b. said (and i paraphrase here) "fuck's chance mate!"

:lol:

i gather it was seen as especially insulting given von's alledged "take home pay" per gig :o

I presume it wasnt for the whole tour then? How many dates were on the last tour? Well over 50 wasnt it?

That would be a decent amount of wedge for a couple of months work. Or am I just being naive :?

So he would have been in instead of Chris? Interesting.

But I thought Adam had basically indicated that after the 2003 tour he was finished with the Sisters? And that 2005 was pretty much a guest-appearance?

Someone who knows Adam refered to him as the ex-guitarist prior to the 2005 tours. As Karst noted, he came back for the limited dates in 2005.

So if Tim had said yes, the line up would have been Andrew, Tim, Chris?

I think we should have an Interview With : Quiff Boy" in the Reviews & Interviews section. :lol:

Think of the new stuff we'd all find out!
