I always enjoyed seeing these guys play

Check out the Sisters' version - they reproduce the intro pretty much as per the original, since I don't think that can be improved on, but give it a sense of menace to reflect the death of hippy culture at Altamont. They also twist the lyrics, so rather than love being a kiss away and war a shot away, it's war that's a kiss away and love that's a shot (of drugs) away.

Always felt that The Sisters gave this song a much needed shot of their methedrine fuelled darkness.  Emma is magnificent - that howl Eldritch does at the end is soul wrenching.

Spolier Alert: I'm a huge sisters fan.

Between the Buried and Me 

Birth, School, Work, Death - The Godfathers

Wow!  The Purple Turtle - still going huh?  I lived in Reading for 10 years from 98 - 08 my first two years were spent frequenting that place!  Glad to hear its still going!

Meshuggah and then Meshuggah again, not sure whether my favourite is Koloss or Violent Sleep of Reason.

Nothing for me.  Closely followed by Koloss.

This popped up on my morning run playlist - forgotten how much I enjoyed this album.

Hi Jef

It's a nicely laid out site, content is good.  I found the Boss Waza Craft article a good and informative read.  

Well done and thanks

Steve.

Inspired by a couple of existing threads. 

What (forgotten) albums will future generations re-discover? I'll go...

Infected - The The
 

 

A real gem.  Becomes more relevant with each passing year.

Considering how talented John Taylor is, shouldn't everyone worship Duran Duran, or how about The Cure, Gallup is amazing.

I recently started learning Come Undone, what a great bass arrangement!

Lost count of how many Cure songs I've learned, they're more my style, but I do like Duran Duran's darker period.

 

Yes.  I am a massive metal head, it's pretty much all I listen to but Duran Duran creeps in a lot. Saw them live on their Wedding Album tour, JT's playing blew me away, became a fan boy from that.  As for the Cure, I learnt a lot about bass playing in my younger days listening to Staring at the Sea and Disintegration.  Fascination Street, A Forest, Primary - bass riffs for miles.

Oh yeah, definitely, they were a gateway band for me in the mid 80's. They were always a bit heavier than a lot of their peers which worked for me. I was one of the few who loved, and still loves, the Corabi album 😁

Poison just weren't acceptable to me on any level back then but, now, I can see there was a little bit more behind the make-up than I gave them credit for. Not much more, but still more 😂 If I'm feeling brave, I might pick up some Ratt soon.

 

Another fan of the Corabi album here. Smoke The Sky is awesome.  Ratt was always my preference, great riffs and feel good tunes for the summer.

I'm no John Taylor but I have a reasonably good hair cut.

This. 
opened up soo many avenues for me, but this remains one of my favourite tunes 

 

Beat me to it.  A 7 year old me was gobsmacked by this tune.  Life changing moment.

Allegaeon did a nice job on a Bach Concerto.

Throwing Bouquets

The Chapel Hat Pegs

Bridengroom

Altar of Sacrifice - for the metal weddings

The Receptionists

Yes - been really enjoying this one.  Mr Smith also pays some decent bass on this.

I still want one of these.

Listened to this on my morning run.  On my third play now -  death metal done proper.

Half Man Half Biscuit could rock the ant-rhyme with the best of them,

Reflections in A Flat

Oh darling sugar honey
When it was nice and sunny
And when I had some money
We would go and see Echo And The Bunny
…men

Since I was eight I’ve loved you
Through garden gates I’ve shoved you
Then there’s the time I slashed you
And you had to go to hospital

Now you are gone forever
Shot by your Uncle Trevor
My story seems so tragic
Ali Bongo’s good at contortionism

Signed by Patricia Morrison, who of course mimed the bass parts to that 2nd album. The light caught the picture to the right which is Craig Adams autograph and since that was taken I have added Tony James signed poster to the right of that one. A trilogy of Sisters bass players!

Very cool. I'm not envious in the slightest, honest.😁

Sorry it's 4 basses but it's taken 33 years to get here and even now I am holding back on my Gibson Thunderbird!

Loving the Sisters of Mercy pic!

The Sisters of Mercy - clearly weren't and still aren't Nuns.

Was Not Was - were they??

Jason's playing on these three Voivod albums -

It's pretty damn good.

I'm old school and still buy CD's. Only downloads i get are when i buy the CD on Amazon and i get the free album download too.

I don't use Spotify or any other streaming. 

I'm a great believer in the artists should get some of the profits from their own albums.

Some of the stories i hear are quite surprising and such a shame really.

I'm the same.
