Isn't exactly a slag off, as i said, i rly like Wayne/Mish.
In fact, i even have a m*****n EP collection
.
Yeah, Wayne was there when they composed my favorite song( Logic), but as i said, he wasn't there back on the past with Reptile House, or in the future with Floodland, both masterpieces, as good as FALAA (in fact, i think Reptile House it's even better than FALAA).
Now about Von and the 'Karaoke Sisters', i've heard that before, and i'm really into this approach.
Firstly, on the 'Old songs', the current Setlist has indeed lots of old songs, specially FALAA era songs, but do you remember Dominion Maillist from early 00's? The setlist was full of 'new' songs, as Crash and Burn, Snub nose, Summer, Will i Dream, Suzanne, Romeo Down, and the people went bat s**t, saying that they were tricked into a gig, because they wanted to hear the old songs.
So it's kinda of a complicated topic, you know? People tend to be quite divided into this matter.
Indeed, The girls could dedicate more time into creation, we haven't heard anything new since 2009 with Arms, and we are still awaiting for Far Parade, when the current Line up was reunited, i was pretty sure that 'Still' would be the first song of a huge collection of new songs, but nope, i couldn't be more wrong.
'Change', that's relative innit? I mean, there's lots of changes on the past years, even on the 'songs that has been sung everyday for the past 30 years', for instance:
- Corrosion with the back vocals, and then with the intro.
- Anaconda chorus has changed.
- FALAA got the classic intro, same with Logic.
- Will i Dream with backvocals.
and etc.
Of course that was minor changes, but we can't deny that 'Rain from heaven' and 'Jihad' wasn't good surprises and a huge change on the setlists.
And last, and i know much people will hate this opinion, but that's honestly how i feel:
Do we REALLY need a new sisters album?
I mean, we have high quality bootlegs recorded for the past 20 years, i prefer the live version of 95% of all sisters songs.
but that's only my opinion, you can just ignore this part
.
Now about Wayne being an bloody super hero, creating, and yadda yadda, that's not exactly the point.
I Prefer Wayne doing nothing, instead releasing year after year bad albums, or albums trying to emulate the old sisters.
If you try to cover your old band, is it really 'Creating'?
Bitching about Von on every single interview on the last 5 years, is it a 'Real Artist and ethic'?
Von has his flaws, especially when it comes to Ego, but we can call a Draw when it comes to Wayne issues.
To be completely neutral about all this Mish/Girls, Von/Wayne subject, here's what i think:
Von should keep doing whatever he's doing, but please, write new songs.
Wayne should keep doing whatever he's doing, but stop the personal attacks on Von, and all that Butthurt at the sisters.
BTW, I assume you are RLY into Mish, so lemme ask you something, why they dropped the EBM/Darkwave style? I mean, i remember a song called 'Last Beat Of Your Heart' that was 100% EBM/Darkwave, and it's my favorite song from the 'new' m*****n, but i haven't heard anything similar to that on the new albums.

... when it comes to The Sisters of Mercy, there is always the discussion focussed on the question of who is the real "Sisters" - Wayne or Andrew. Without doubt, though, it was Gary and Andrew who founded them and they were joined by Craig and Ben Gunn. None of them feels the need to put themselves ever again in the centre of any discussion about who were the better or the right or the true "Sisters of Mercy" or, even worse, "girls" ... phh, it's really tedious given the fact that they split more than 30 years ago ...
