      Sisters in 1983 were a rock n roll band. Nothing more. Nothing less. But a damn good one with hefty fuzzy bass lines. That clown Wayne brought all the goth, dry ice, cowboy hats. All theatrics. This is here is effin’ rock n’ roll.

      semitelfeletem Weren't we all that thin til age 30? Eldtritch once said that the black clothes were left over from his university days as they were everyday functional. The meaning being due to poverty rarely washed the clothes. I spent ages 23 to 30 as a "goth" even though the scene had died in 1994 when it had a boost from The Crow movie. The Sisters had a great 11 year run from 1983-1994. I realise Eldtritch still yours but friends who have seen the post-Vision thing band claim that he is joke and sounds like a 3rd rate garage band. Check out the 1993 Enjoy the Puppet show concert when they supported Depeche Mode. This was Eldtritch's downfall even though he denies it. The two massive Mode albums - Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion - were superior albums to Floodland and the woeful Vision Thing.

    • @duncangarvey8893
      @duncangarvey8893 Před 7 lety +3

      Frosted Depeche Mode are garbage, give your head a shake. Floodland was a great album, though I concede Vision Thing was below par. I was a goth in the mid eighties and Depeche Mode weren't on the map in the alternative scene. This Sisters were great up until Floodland, his downfall was letting Craig Adams walk away, taking his obvious song craft with him.

      The Sisters run ended in 1983 a few months after this. Wayne joined soon after Ben left. A little less than two years later from this it was only Andrew and never really sounded this tough ever again. He went where the money followed him. He’s still a cunny funt with great humor. Glad he still gots that.

    Andrew’s twitching would give Ian Curtis a run for his money. As lame as Vision Thing may be, the live shows from that era revealed a far more impressive lead performance. He’s since resigned himself to just pacing back and forth behind his two Adonis-like guitarists (or, in some cases, the one 21 Jumpstreet looking guy and a girl who is the worst guitar mime ever!) that eclipse him and often drown out his very diminished vocal performances these days.
