is it just me or did this song not always have a piano solo in the middle? is there another version of this song somewhere.

[kotivalo123]

@RobZandy there is another version

[Shards013]

Not surpassing the Sisters but a great support act for them.

[ElegyofMadeline]

@Shards013: way better than the played out sisters

[VoodooUprising]

@RobZandy yes, it was the long 12" version with a golden snake skin album cover.

Just to let peeps know The Violets released an EP recently and word on the grape vine is that they have an album coming out this year. Si from the violets is part of the Sisters too, he is Dr Avalanche at the mo and has been for a while. And for the record yes the sisters tour but they haven't actually released anything in some time. As for their Islington show, check out the DV8, York show :)

@notaras1985: cool story bro.

[notaras1985]

@stevobath: Cool story bro.

@ElegyofMadeline Have you seen this band recently? Fucking atrocious. I really think that this is the only decent track they made.The rest was second rate pop.They made one shit album that did NOTHING.As for the Sisters being 'burnt out' they still tour CONSTANTLY & release knew stuff regularly.Just cause theyre not in the public eye in certain countries doesnt mean theyre dead. If you really think this band is so good, take a look at their Islington 2011 performance.DIRE!

great band

@mrbelmont2000: Also, if you 'were' back in the day involved with the scene you would know that they added insult to injury by not playing with bands such as Sunshine Blind for being 'too Gothic'. So, in retrospect, yes the early releases of Sisters of Mercy are classic and essential as well as excellent pieces of art by themselves, however what they became is a pale and pathetic shadow of what they originated as and are a joke to those who cherish the true gothic art. Sorry if you see different

[ElegyofMadeline]

@mrbelmont2000: I don't know what area you came from or how long you've been in the scene, but yes the Sisters are extremely 'played out', sorry, to disappoint you but it's true. They are overrated and stagnant in comparison to far more overlooked bands such as this. So yes, they are burned out, especially since they have absolutely no respect for the fan base that listen to them, i.e. Gothic and Deathrock fans.

[mrbelmont2000]

@ElegyofMadeline the sisters are classic and what do you maen played out? Goth is an underground subculture so technically none of these bands are that burned
