Spear of Destiny performing a cover of Sisters of Mercy's 'Temple Of Love'. Former Sisters bassist Craig Adams takes on vocal duties. Part of Spear of Destiny's headlining slot at Whitby Goth Weekend.

Wow, that is too cool. A Sisters song with live drums and a living bass player. It is also nice to hear the original guitar line much more in front of the mix, although too bad the camera man never cut over to Adrian Portas.
As a Spear of Destiny fan I'd love to have heard Kirk Brandon doing the vocals.

The same city Whitby mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula?

Hideous.

Vocals aren't good but it's great to hear a proper bass on the song

Indeed. The previous week the Fields of the Nephilim headlined the Bram Stoker festival there.

Sounds like a city with character

not worst than live version.

wot he said. the vocals are especially awful. but the guitar line isnt played too badly. i just dont see what they hoped to acheive by this.

Please crowd, I guess. As most of bands are trying to do that.

Or perhaps they were just enjoying themselves -been known to happen!

Yes, that is an option.

^^grudgingly agrees with previous 2 posters.....it makes no odds to me: in future i'll ignore such links.

i don't mind that,not the best vox though

First we have Wayne whimsically reminiscing about FALAA, then Von smiling, SMILING, at someone filming him at a gig, now we have Craig playing TOL. The reunion is on people, I tell you...

singing:

Imagine there's no m*****n,
It's easy if you try,
No separate bands,
playing one song,
Imagine all ex-band members
playing for us today.

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one,
I hope someday they'll reunion for us
And the world will be as one.

/singing.

thank you, you were wonderful audience.
I'll get my coat.

Jesus, at least Von can't whisper out of tune...

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...

if Mark -gary marx- isnt involved i wouldnt be interested......much.

Honestly, I think a reunion is a terrible idea.

reunion without 1984 doktor avalanche aint worth it.

Me too

From Wayne: So this is what me ol' mucker was getting up to last weekend on Halloween.....Mr. Craig Adams on vocals with Spear Of Destiny playing 'Temple Of Love' at the Whitby Goth Festival! I duuno if it was intended to be scary but it's actually a pretty damn fine version, far better than we used to play it back in the day when Craig and I were in The Sisters Of Mercy. Does anybody else think he sounds a bit, just a bit, like Ian Curtis? And it's good to hear the bass on that song. I believe the current line-up of the Sisters are needing a bass player......For those out there that frown upon such shenanigans, lighten up. Craig has every right to play that song as he did co-write it......allegedly.
Oh, by the way, I'm playing the Whitby Goth Festival myself next April, headlining on Saturday 23rd, I believe. I can promise I won't be playing Temple Of Love but, mmm, maybe it's time for me to have a go at something from FALAA that I had a hand in writing. Any suggestions? More details on the festival when we get 'em.
