Long Train / Ghostrider

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 was listening to Long Train today, and something about it just suddenly reminded me a lot of Ghostrider. I'm not sure why - just the vibe, and the looseness of it all. Oh, and right at the end Eldritch actually sings "ride, ride, ride-ride-ride." And I wondered whether Long Train might be, in a way, Eldritch's attempt to create The Sisters' own version of Ghostrider. Has that ever occurred to anyone? Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree?

Yep, always thought it was heavily influenced by Ghostrider also.

So now i have to go and listen to one of the very best Ghostrider/ Louie Louie -Albert Hall. Brimstobe & Treacle version.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
