Craig Adams Once Again Top of the Hit Parade

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.

The Poppyfields (aka The Alarm) are at number 28.

Proving once and for all Craig is the "Hit Machine" behind The Sisters and TheMission.

Craig is one hell of a bass player. I have loved him since 1987 when I first heard The Mish. That's great news.

He was in The Cult for a bit wasn't he?
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

If only Andy was convinced about that and didn't conveniently forget that around the release of Temple of Love '92 eh?

Hmm. not really- When Craig was in the Sisters, their three major label singles all failed to reach the top forty, then as soon as he left, they had four top twenty hits in a row (This Corrosion, Dominion, Lucretia, More).

Will be seeing the new line up very shortly. I'll let you know what I think.

And I am especially thrilled.....to finally see/hear Craig in person. I think he's wonderful...my all time favorite bassist. :D :D And if Mr. BP lets me off my leash...I'm gonna accost him and tell him so!

Might just wear my Heartland T....... 8)

Crikey! Craig's eaten a few pies! And I see that the hair fairy has been visiting the Adams house on quite a regular basis.

Having said that, he was never the slimmest Sister, and his hair looked as though it was starting to go back in '84.

I believe he's called 'Conehead' Adams these days ...

Craig has stopped eating pies. He's very slim now. I can attest to that personally.

See most post on the Lust thread....

Good on him! As I am currently severely reducing my own pie intake, I can attest how hard it can be.
