The Young Gods (acoustic), Luminaire - and Ghostrider

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Apologies if this is referenced already in the posts.

John_r (and another poster) commented on The Young Gods in the "violetstock" thread - querying whether the december shows were electric or acoustic.

Having just seen the acoustic version last night, I actually regret December's outing is electric: they were absolutely superb - and the manner in which they employed three acoustic guitars (Al Comet sometimes using his as a drum, in an almost neubauten-esque style) and a drummer to replicate their sound was astonishing.

I mention "Ghostrider" in the title because they performed it - Franz sheepishly noting it was "Ghostrider by Suicide" at its conclusion. If you can obtain a track of it, well worth a listen: and hopefully they will include that cover in the electric tour in December.

Honourable mention to Ms. Hunger, the opening act - a talent to keep an eye out for.

See you all in Leeds on the 8th.

Ghostrider? Young Gods? :eek:

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Seen them about a month ago, electric in Ghent, and another couple months ago electric in Brussels and that was absolutely smashing, both times! Shame they don't come over to say hello in their acoustic incarnation though.
Styles are a lie.
