Does anyone know the cramps song played before live shows?

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 heard a good song from the cramps twice before a sisters
gig started (one at a munich gig 98 and one in Prague 2001)
I am a cramps fan, but I only know the newer stuff of them
and that was a brilliant tune. Could anyone tell me the title
of that song. Taking vonns laziness into account, surely he
always uses the same songs before gigs start...

I thought it's the venue that chooses the songs played before the bands come on (except for a specific intro which has normally been Afterhours or that similar one on the last tour!) :?

I remember going to one gig (can't remember and it wasn't "guardian related") and they played an All About Eve album beforehand :urff: ;D

i also remember hearing the Cramps at the Astoria in 2001...remember talking about it with me old mate Juju... :notworthy: ...can't remember if it was "Songs..." or "Gravest Hits"...but it was classic Cramps

I guess they were playing the cd, as far as i know "gravest.." exist only
as a 12".
Excellent choice by the way :D

this ain't gospel...and as it's the Cramps i could well be wrong without actually hunting the CD down...but Gravest Hits is on CD as bonus trax on Psychedelic Jungle...

don't ask where this CD comes from but i think it could be an American issue...and i only have it on CDR :innocent:
