Gary Moore - After The War

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 bought a second hand copy of this today because it has backing vocals by one Andrew Eldritch. Does anyone have any info on his appearance on this record. Which tracks he did? How it came about?

It also has vocals by Ozzy Osborne on a couple of tracks.

"Blood Of Emeralds", last track on the album. It's all very shouty, his voice isn't very distinct.

yup, the chorus consists the words "blood of emeralds" being shouted a whole lot by a few people. It's very possible that one of them is Von, I just can't hear his voice in there.

That said I've only listened to the record once, and don't really wanna listen to it again.

AE is far in the distance on the title track too.


I seem to remember him saying in an interview that he was doing something at the same studios & Gary Moore asked if he'd be on his record- he was just pleased to be asked, so he did.
