Neil Young cover?

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls - first of all I have to apologize - it seems to me we have discussed about it already :oops: ... but I've got too heavy hangover to find it and on the other hand - this question tortures me :urff:
Sorry.
You can delete or close this thread but before that - please give me a light.
So. Last night I had a booze-up with some interesting people - poets from Germany, Switzerland and the USA and one of them, an American poet (sorry, I need more time to recall his surname, the first name was Milo, that's what I remember) told that his friend, a fan of The Sisters Of Mercy has a recording of a Sisters gig in San Fransisco (it seems to me he told about '97, maybe it was actually '98 ) with a Neil Young song cover (Like A Hurricane - if I don't mistake) -is it possible :?: :?: :?:
Thanks in advance for the info :notworthy:

Well, I can't confirm anything but I can add just a fact that we told (for the first time :wink: ) about it already before the boozing :)

This probably isn't an answer to your question, but I seem to remember a Sweet Home Alabama cover was attempted at a few gigs (not a Neil song I know but this is the closest thing I could think of ... )
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

It seems the poets believe The m*****n and The Sisters of Mercy are synonomous...

On the aside, I would like to see a Neil Young cover in the future perhaps "Old Man", "Sample & Hold", or "Piece of Crap".

Thanks, it wasn't the answer to my main question but now I rememeber that the thing we probably had discussed already was actually Sweet Home Alabama. So - no need to delete or close the thread? :wink:

I suppose he might have been thinking of the m*****n who did cover Like a Hurricane

SHA was Lynerd Skynerd's reply to Neil's Southern Man

Sweet Home Alabama never rivalled Free Bird for air-guitar-ability IMHO ;)
