[kj] OT: sisters of mercy

[Jay Retro]

Jim Steinman was brought in as producer for that song, to deliberately make it pompous and stupid. This same plan was used for This Corrosion. Keep in mind that the band was formed to "take the piss out of Rock and Roll"- which it it, judging by some absolutely vile and disrespectful cover songs. The Sisters were king-hell great in their day.

On Killing Joke: "Well, we don't like fascists, otherwise we think they're great"

I've just watched them doing More on youtube, and was reminded of how utterly pompous they seemed back in the day (in particular, Eldritch's voice).
 
Was I wrong?  Any Sisters fans care to tell me why they were great?

Weird thing about the Sisters as a live-concern these days (and these days means everything since the mid-90s, I guess), is that they continue to write and perform NEW songs, but they just don't exist as official releases. Sure, you can prize them as muddied bootlegs, but for some of us -- that's just not good enough. Their wry little website has been coy about things for literally decades.
Meanwhile, is anyone going to the Mission reunion (without Mick)? They're recording a reunion album as well .... like the world needs that.

Thinking about it, being a SOM fan is a bit like being a KJ fan if their
last album was Extremities . . 



Some may think this is a good thing :o)

Last studio album was 1990. A Temple of Love remix in 92 and Greatest
hits, 1993.
I guess they do a lot of merch? :/

Can a band that hasn't released anything since 1993 really be considered
a band any more?

They're not really The Sisters any more are they? More like Happy Andy
E's 80's Goth Revival Band as far as I can see

I hate seeing the words "Killing Joke" underneath the word "Slipknot" on
a bill. That just ain't right.



Meanwhile, what's the communication like between KJ and the Sisters? I
believe I remember Jaz slagging off the Sisters way back circa OTG, but
I wonder what the status is these days.
