Ben is always playing a lot of mistakes during the gigs, Chris is doing better, but who do you thing is the best Sisters combo ?
Me thinks it 's Pearson/Varjak.
We should get Pears back.

Naah, we should get Steve Vai to join TSOM.

oh dear...

here have these to clutch at

Both solutions are equally possible.

I always liked the Starling/Pearson line-up myself (and I'm a big fan of Starling's work generally). I also liked Pearson/Catalyst--I thought they sounded really good together. I like Ben's playing, but sometimes it's a little too skronky-metal for me. It depends on my mood, I guess.

Ben Gunn - The Sisters forgotten man, it all went Pete when he split

I like the present line up. I rate Ben as a really good guitarist but I don't like his sound. I don't see the point in comparing the different line ups ,this version is just another way to efficiently skin a cat...as with all natural products quality may vary.

bad day Herr Post?

It's like England football commentators not trying to mention 1966

Well - over here we have a different view on 1966...

Bruhn & Pearson kicked major ass in 1993. It was the closest to Motörhead that this band could get.

That's your man.

Bruhn / Pearson or Pearson / Varjak.

About the current line-up... Chris is great. Ben is a fine guitar player but I just don't think his sound is right for TSOM.

whitout any doubt, Adam Pearson is the best one in my opinion and the best combo i´d say Pearson - Varjak.

They did sound great back then in 2005!
I never was much of a Starling or Bruhn fan, but Varjak was supercool too... on the other hand Marx will always be thee one I guess

This one

Me.

Aisde from that unlikely situation, its Adam Pearson any day for me.
Poor guy doesn't even have his own Wiki page!

Unsure myself, really. Though I hear a lot of comments that are down on the current lineup, I found a Youtube video not too long ago from the last tour (might have been Leeds, can't remember) of them playing Flood II (my personal favorite Sisters song - or one of em anyways) and though the vocals were low and mumbley as usual, the guitars sounded fantastic and worked with the song perfectly. Louder than the album version obviously, almost a sort of Pink Floyd sound to them. I played that video over and over again for days just to hear it.

Marx/Gunn/Eldritch.

Over here, he has ... not yet perfect, but at least existing ...

Pearson and Varjak any time!

Bruhn, Bricheno & James trounce all the later line-ups.
Didn't see them pre-90 but Pearson & Varjak would take second place.

I'd go for Adam + the Catalyst. It must have been quite hard for Ben to fill in Adams shoes but I think he's developing very well during the last years. Besides that he's a top dude and both, ben and chris, seems to re-energize the "project sisters" and a bit.

Adam + Gary would kick ass
