@PaulMWIS Exactly, The Mission ARE touring, not IS touring like some modern twat would say. Well done for not pandering to the pathetic modern tossy way of speaking. Kudos for that.
The Mission UK, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cult, Psychedelic Furs, Jesus and Mary Chain, Love and Rockets ... oh what great music, none compared to the new crap out there. Memories!
I used to spin this track @ The Twilight Zone Loud !! 140 db 3 -5 ' Tweak it to Perfection ! Bass that would go through You ! Highs for the back of the neck Separation, Presence, The energy that was there when I played this track was Incredible ! > This amazing music transcends Time and Space for me.
A good reason this may have "Led Zep" sounds is because John Paul Jones produced this - I love this song but it fails to build to a big finish - falls short in my eyes - incredible potential
Yes the original version of 'Tower of Strength' was released in 1987, this revamped 1994 version was remixed by Youth (renowned producer and member of Killing Joke) for the band's Sum and Substance Singles compilation
Okay...my question is...Grains of Sand, Carved in Sand.. Both albums state trilogy. What is the third album? I have asked this question for 20yrs.. I'm I'm feeling pretty ignorant. I can usually find this out.
@mobilecarlton I would suggest The Mission's Worst video award is certainly more due to one of their '90's songs. This, I find quite funny in its 'we are heroes' stance.
@Spankabuttux And further, I would say it is surely better to imagine yourself as a fictional hero, rather than, as Bono does, imagine yourself as an ACTUAL hero, despite his tax evasion. We all knew you were a cunt, Bono, it was only a matter of time...
Yes the original version of 'Tower of Strength' was released in 1987, this revamped 1994 version was remixed by Youth (renowned producer and member of Killing Joke) for the band's Sum and Substance Singles compilation. This video put together by the bands label is a compilation of the original Tower video with footage from other Mish videos.
@missionukvideos I don't understand why they would remix a song for a singles compilation. Don't people who release these albums realise that when they release a singles compilation or greatest hits people want to hear the ORIGINAL. If I'd bought this album without realising Tower of strength was a remix I would be so pissed off. I'd be thinking why can't they just put the bloody '87 version on there and leave it. Just my opinion.
Saw them at Reading '89... bought a black t-shirt with the TOS lyrics on the back... I'd kill for that t-shirt again! Then saw them as The Metal Gurus in London... Lord, those were the days :)
Me too! Well, being at Reading in 89...top spinny cobweb sculpture spinny thing during the Mission set, Shane McGowan falling onto the stage blind drunk and a truck-load of mud!
Getting back to the Led Zep rip off tirades. I only wished I was good enough to rip off Led Zepplin and with their blessing to boot. Hell we all rip off somebody when we write and play our music. Jimmy Page would be the first to admit ripping off the great blues artists as well as contemporaries he has ripped off. It's still uncanny how much Wayne Hussey mirrored Bono and how Sisters of Mercy then appealed to so much wider of an audience.
@TheKurtKnispel It uses exactly the same special guitar tuning which I listed above. It uses exactly the same chords in a different order. John Paul Jones, Led Zeps bassist produced it.
@TheKurtKnispel If you lay guitar, you see the connection. Kashmir is mostly plaid with you fretting hand in one position, fretting two strings and moving up and down the neck. You have to use the special tuning, one that is a Jimmy Page signature because of all the songs that use it. Tower of strength uses the same tuning, same hand shape and even starts on the same chord. P Diddy had Page playing on come with me, and credited him
@SvenTviking I know. That's why I said "If" he would made the song without credits. So what you are saying that if you use C D A chords in standard tuning but in different order you are ripping off some original song made hundreds of years ago. This is just a tuning. Rhythm and melody is what counts in my book for a ripoff and you certainly surprised me with the Kashimir since I don't feel the connection by listening these two songs.
Same thing can be said of 'Severina' / 'Achilles last stand' - and 'Marian' / 'Friends' (Sisters of Mercy). Part of their brilliance that they (I suppose meaning Wayne Hussey) could take Led Zep inspired songs and make them sound totally different (you just find out when you play guitar!).
I think Andrew Eldritch once said in an early Sisters of Mercy interview something like 'it's about time someone said something as crass as 'Led Zep - ace!'.
Yes, long live the beauty of the darkness...We opened for them on some dates in the early career...An amazing band, not soon forgotten... Cult were fairies by comparison...
they dont make music like this no more,guys like pete murphy,sisters of mercy,sioux n banshees ,even the cure,lol,could go on for ever,god i miss them days:(....
I used to play this @ The Twilight Zone 143-145 db 5' until the hairs would stand up on your neck;)))) and the bass would pierce your soul ^_^ I have seen hardcore guys and girls dance hard to this with tears in their eyes Amazing track!!!... great memories
A great reminder that music wasn't totally wasted in the nineties! It's easy to look back and dissmiss the decade as a wasteland musically but tracks like this show the truth...
Happened to remember about them while i was thinking about the some old bands . This is a wonderful song . Thank you Youtube. Now I can just see those wonderful songs..
Christ, has it been almost 20 years since I have seen this band. I worked at Tower Records on California, and I saw them for free 3 times in 90. They were damn good.
I saw the Mission live twice in the 80's, they were great and the looked fantastic with their hats and black outfits. I remember their guitar player was absolutely brilliant.
This song kicks ass. I wish I'd known about this when they were touring. They must have been a powerhouse live.
The song almost sounds christian in scope. I wonder if that's intentional. Wouldn't be the first time we've gotten that from a goth band. Anyone know if this is about Jesus? Or is it for a lover?
How beautiful is this song? What a great band....I was a goth myself back in the 80's & once ur a goth ur always a goth deep inside, no matter what you do & how much things have changed over the years. Long live sadness & the beauty of darkness
@Prizak1 why does goth have to be sad? The Missions songs are not sad and not always dark either....but they are brimful of PASSION and BEAUTY and POWER...whether they portray pain or joy they are always filled with these ingredients...INTENSITY and EXPRESSION...love you Wayne
@Prizak1 Thats great yeah my mom used to be goth or post punk and when i was little i was always listening to the cure and siouxie and depeche ect... but ive always known that that was me, Now Im the goth in the family and its great to hear this music!!
You are so right. I keep telling this all the time. Almost because people who know me now cannot imagine i was a goth in the 90´s.Once gothic...
I haved travel around the word- musically speaking- because i love to know other cultures of our planet and doing that by knowing the local music is amazing, There is so much richness in diversity! Even if i am celebrating with incredibly joyfull music from Nigeria or India.. those are phases of exploitation, part of the knowledge.
Continuing the answer:(..)When i am on my own i really feel i´m alive in nostalgic moments/songs. I guess the gothic part of me after all still lives in me . At the same time i can´t stand inconsolable people or people who complain a lot. I can´t bare wickness. That´s why African Culture 4 ex is so incredible.All the energy and positive attitude facing immeasurable problems.But yet, i hear those goth songs and hear my soul speacking in each note..How weird+contradictory is all this?

I have a freind who knew Wayne very well he stayed in his flat a lot and was good freinds with him and he was definately not gay.He was a real character and he loved women.
Queer /kwie(r) odd, strange or unusual. The man is on a shirehorse in a city or large town or someant and i remember them from Top Of The Pops and i am sure they had banshees with them on stage. So there you have it "QUEERS"! ps they might be gay as well, but still a great tune.
This song is absolutely magical. I dunno what causes it but there is no one i show for the first time that do not love it and become addict to the harmony.
I have the original disc by the Mission (horrible quality btw, is a cd from 18 years ago :-).......but really want this version too on mp3, who can help me out?
good God!! this brings so many good memories. it took me 20 years back in time, when i was a reckless & wild teenager. music was always my escape and Mission was my favorite band at that time. i rediscovered them at 36 and they still sound so brilliantly clear! the lyrics and the sound still do the same to my brains.
Indeed these artists are in fact the last of the 80's new wave era. The music and the culture of the 80's was not about goths (celebration of death) or gangsta rap (celebration of criminal behavior) - there was an attempt to be inspirational and lift the spirit (as the words of this song demonstrate).
The mission hase Nothing to do with Gothic muzic ore stijl they where adopted bij gothics. long befor there was GOTHIC they where underground New wave music in the likes of U2 simple minds ecetera ectera ecetera. the house seen didnt even ecsisted back then. i had the very first lp albums of them. to me they are right in between U2 and the simple minds THE EURLY YEARS.. nevertheless Great song and music
you know shit all about goth music. Goth started properly in the 80s and evolved from punk and post-punk.
These guys formed from the remnants of some of the seminal goth bands of the era, and were akin to their peersm becuase that's what goth was at the time.
To get an idea of how silly your comments are, just watch the "stay with me" video, described by the great Mr Hussey himself as "carry on goth"...jesus christ Wayne and Craig came from the Sisters, cant get much more Uber goth than that!
The guitar work on this track is just so sublime .

I can´t bare wickness.That´s why African Culture 4 ex is so incredible.All the energy and positive attitude facing immeasurable problems.But yet, i hear those goth songs and hear my soul speacking in each note..How weird+contradictory is all this?

Queer /kwie(r) odd, strange or unusual. The man is on a shirehorse in a city or large town or someant and i remember them from Top Of The Pops and i am sure they had banshees with them on stage. So there you have it "QUEERS"! ps they might be gay as well, but still a great tune.

This song is absolutely magical. I dunno what causes it but there is no one i show for the first time that do not love it and become addict to the harmony.

I'm not convinced that his gender preference makes a damn bit of difference.

how to say that this was a wonderful decision?
just saying "nice choice" sounds very dull and dumb in this context.

good God!! this brings so many good memories. it took me 20 years back in time, when i was a reckless & wild teenager. music was always my escape and Mission was my favorite band at that time. i rediscovered them at 36 and they still sound so brilliantly clear! the lyrics and the sound still do the same to my brains.

I love this song. I used to go to this goth/industrial club and they'd play it at the end of the night. Brings back good memories.

Indeed these artists are in fact the last of the 80's new wave era. The music and the culture of the 80's was not about goths (celebration of death) or gangsta rap (celebration of criminal behavior) - there was an attempt to be inspirational and lift the spirit (as the words of this song demonstrate).
Regards,
Middle aged dude from the 80s

The mission hase Nothing to do with Gothic muzic ore stijl they where adopted bij gothics. long befor there was GOTHIC they where underground New wave music in the likes of U2 simple minds ecetera ectera ecetera. the house seen didnt even ecsisted back then. i had the very first lp albums of them. to me they are right in between U2 and the simple minds THE EURLY YEARS.. nevertheless Great song and music

you know shit all about goth music. Goth started properly in the 80s and evolved from punk and post-punk.
These guys formed from the remnants of some of the seminal goth bands of the era, and were akin to their peersm becuase that's what goth was at the time.

To get an idea of how silly your comments are, just watch the "stay with me" video, described by the great Mr Hussey himself as "carry on goth"...jesus christ Wayne and Craig came from the Sisters, cant get much more Uber goth than that!
