To think it’s 2023 and The Sisters just played here to a sold out Los Angeles crowd. The best thing is, The Boys from The Mission are coming in September (Wayne, Simon, and Craig) I can’t wait to see them! Cheers!
@@luiskern8910why? Floodland is a great album. Gatekeeping Sisters albums is a pointless task - even the weakest Sisters album is still going to be one of the best albums you'll ever hear.
Wayne Hussey joining the Sisters was like like drinking diet soda for the first time. Wayne was and still is a very talented guitarist, but he brought that the Bling, Cowboy, and Rockstar image to the Sisters. I will always prefer the Ben Gun as it was raw, dirty, fuzzy bass lines by lines by Craig that really worked brilliantly with the Doktor. Gary’s and Ben’s guitars had a neurotic mystique. They barely ever used any fog before Wayne joined. As Andrew would come on stage he owned it. Everyone was locked in to their bold sound and Andrew’s unique image when they performed live. Nothing here even touches on this. How I love Andrew in every interview. So sharp and witty as it always seemed he knew every question before it was ever asked.
Hey Bradonomous, I like your honesty. Like most "Goths" I loved the Sisters of Mercy, The Mission and especially the Fields of Nephilim. I heard from European fans (I lived in Sydney, Australia) that the Nephilim as a band, were best by far when it came to playing live. I heard that the Mission too could easily blow the Sisters of the stage. An honest reviewer said that the Mission, in Iceland in 1992 had played the same venue one week earlier and were way better than the Sisters of Mercy.
Craig and Wayne are excellent musicians and many of The M*****n's songs are absolute gems from their instrumental side, but I miss the intensity and spirit Andrew puts into his lyrics and his stage presence with them. I can have The M*****n playing in the background while working. With The Sisters of Mercy, that's impossible for me, the music grabs all of my attention every time. Even now, after having been into their music for well over 35 years. Sorry, Wayne, sorry Craig. I hope you´ll cope with that. :o(
Wayne really had that specific sound with twelwe string guitar....flange, delay, distortion...reminds me little on Robin Guthrie sound even Robin's sound is more complex one..and it was natural and good thing they got separeted.. we had more good music.
"Leeds", como se não houvesse outros lugares que tem música go'tica do caralho como Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield e London, vocês tem essa estupidez de achar que o mundo gira em torno de Leeds e daquele time falido do Leeds United Kkkkk
Wayne Hussey really isn't that integral to the history of the Sisters so I don't understand why people want that era of the band to reform. If you'd said Gary Marx though, I'd have agreed.
Wayne has said he would be up for a reunion. But l doubt Gary Marx would do it. I've read interviews with him (and Wayne & Craig), and Gary said waiting for Andrew to write a song was excruciating! And l doubt Craig would do it, he doesn't like Andrew.
+danielscissorhands you wrong, are differents, Eldricht has more darkness, the combination with the light guitar sound and chorus of Hussey was a triumph on first album. Definitelly, Hussey not dark.
Lux . . . Daniel is right. A person I know flew al the way from Australia and ended up partying with Wayne Hussey. My friend was not a goth but knew who The Mission were. He hung around Wayne Hussey for a few days and said that Wayney is a top guy who is just a normal guy. In contrast, a female friend of mine who personally knew members of Depeche Mode ended up in the famous 1993 Wembley show where the Sisters played support for Depeche AND Eldritch made the disparaging "Enjoy the Puppet Show" comments. My friend was there when Dave Gahan asked Eldritch what his problem was. Eldtritch was completely off his face on speed and alcohol mumbled some crap. Depeche Mode's engine room - Martin Gore - who loathed the Sisters and did refer to them as a poor man's Depeche Mode threw them off that very lucrative tour. Eldritch stuffed up badly as the Sisters went nowhere after that. Rumours spread about the Eldritch comments re: Depeche Mode. Depeche Mode were the world's biggest band in 1993 - 94 with a massively success tour and they topped the charts wit Songs of Faith and DEvotion. You can see Eldritch;s huhe mistake.
I have never met Wayne, though I've grown to admire him as an artist far more than Andrew. That said, I did meet Andrew twice and both times he was a Prince. My friend and I were young and nervous and all sorts of star struck and he took us in to meet the band and took off his sunglasses (something I had never seen up until then) and he was very kind and tolerant. I'm always shocked to meet the people I idolize(d). One of the worst was Peter Murphy. That man is a twat.
I'm increasingly coming round to that viewpoint. 80s Sisters blows the Mission out of the water but Eldritch is laughably pretentious really, and Sisters live are a complete joke now judging by the clips I've seen. He seems like a very self-absorbed and bitter person, whereas Hussey seemed to get over the split pretty quickly.
Saw them at the Ritz in Manhattan in 89 or so. Both bands are great. It is lucky for them they didn't come out now. Neither band would have gotten a record deal.
Sadly true, I feel so sad that modern music is in the state it's in. Though The Mission did release Another Fall From Grace on an independent label, and still managed to get into the album charts (top 40) in 2015.
Vision Thing doesn't get enough love. I know it's way different and more like American metal of the time but it's a great album in it's own right. However This Corrosion is my favorite track by them.
This video is excellent the interviewer calls Goths . . . Gothiks ansshe clearly has no idea how the 1985 Sisters break-up caused huge animosity in the English goth scene. WAYNE HUSSEY - I wonder how many people saw this at that time. Wayne Hussey comes across as superbly cool and handles the Sisters of Mercy break-two questions really well. The Led Zeppelin "man" - John Paul Jones produced the BEST ever produced goth album - Children. I purchased it on vinyl and the sound was impeccable. The songs are well produced and once again, the guitars and drums are mixed expertly. Children charted well in the world-wide alternative/independent charts BUT it was too demure - way to acoustic - an album. Loud guiutar and guitar sampling and looping were the in thing. Ex-Goth's The Cult were exploding and Guns"N"Roses were about to break world wide and in a stroke of genius, former Meatloaf producer - Jim Steinman was used by Eldritch to produce the ground breaking . . . Floodland. ELDRITCH/THE SISTERS of MERCY: Eldritch carries on like a a "tosser" in this video. I felt sorry for Patricia Morrison who was dragged into that crap. In a stroke of luck, Floodland was huge and entered the mainstream English charts. The single - This Corrosion - topped the alternative/independent charts world-wide. Floodland and the three huge singles - This Corrosion, Dominion and Lucretia - were literally parked on, the then very lucrative U.S. College charts. This brought Eldtrich wealth and eventually Floodland sold millions of units.
Eldritch never seems to come across as a good guy from all accounts, he certainly seems barely present in any of his interviews. However I think it's undeniable what a hell of a songwriter/performer he is, The Mission is comes off as a bad U2 copy from this video I see here, and while no doubt those members had a heavy hand in the sound of First and Last and Always I think Floodland proves all the good elements from any Sisters material is a result of Eldritch's input. Important people are not always good people. All this other successful music surrounding the Sisters at the time, chart success, who came out on top, is really meaningless in the long run. I can listen to Sisters of Mercy all day, but Guns N Roses? Depeche Mode? That shit sucks.
Straight after the split the first Mission gig i attended Manchester Apollo or Boardwalk well Mcr for sure had billboards with Sisters of MERCY in huge lettering with The Mission have no connection with the above a dam site smaller underneath! As Hussey says in the interview the fans weren't particularly split, in my mind the fans won just more great tunes!
Früher fanden wir die ersten beiden Videos sicher cool, also bei Sisters war's bei mir, glaube ich, so, aber heutzutage sind diese Videos echt eher peinlich
Just wanna know why the guy is on the floor on a cheap looking IKEA mattress doing an interview?? Did Sky Channel catch these guys going in or coming out a bazaar in a place like Turkey or Saudi Arabia?
Made 'em more like. James Whale was a condescending twat who wound up the people he interviewed. Interviewing Wayne was the only highlight in a frankly awful series. The Mission are still touring and selling albums and had a top 40 album in 2015. Whale is now a DJ on Radio Essex. Enough said.
Depois que as bonecas de Leeds flertaram com música eletrônica no Mask (1993) a acucarada "Severina" voltou a ser apenas um nome de nordestino, ainda bem kkkkkk
I never quite got The Mission. Nothing wrong with the music but whereas Andrew's stuff makes me want to dance and to make my own music, The Mission's does not. No offence to Mission fans, as I said I don't dislike their music.
Think the fact that The Mission are Sisters-ish, but are a good night out and actually release new stuff is a big part of their appeal. I love The Sisters, but good live performances are rarer than hen's teeth, and they've done nothing worth hearing this century.
The Mission are really good and they continued First Last and Always era Sisters. For me 79-85 era SOM is the best not that dance stuff they did later. Their older stuff is music to ‘shroom to not dance to.
Their very first singles are punk rock. Then their eps, I liken them to moody, atmospheric dirge music to take psychedelics to. First Last and Always is an atmospheric rock album. Floodland and Vision Thing are cash grab dance crap.
@@davidannett3322 well, now that i look at the older sisters vids i see the hat as well, so idk, maybe it was an industry theme happening at the time... the character "Black Hat" from the movie 'Priest' looks like some kind of homage to it as well
Los músicos salieron por patas de Sisters of Mercy porque querían hacer música, no dar tumbos, puestos hasta las cejas, de antro en antro.. so ignorantes!! :P
Gothics wild Germans that sacked Rome therefore misnomer say sunbeam and the light rays Starbucks coffee and sisters covers on Starbucks records allow mobile phones TV stations to film
Yeah, Bill has made a fair comment. If you'd heard Ansrew sing recently, you'd find it difficult to say that. He was once great, but his voice has gone. Wayne's on the other hand has only improved with age.
It’s funny how we all ridiculed those very cheesy glam bands of the 70s with their bad dress sense, terrible dancing and crap lyrics but this lot were just the same, totally uncool! Hussey just combined what he’d learned (stole) from Pete Burns who was actually cool and Eldrich and made The Mission. You can just tell they have terrible music taste and empty heads.
It was their attempt to break the US market, so it was what appealed to a US audience at the time; stadium rock. It wasn't a bad album, but it fell inbetween two genres.
Pues no te ofendas pero me tú comentario me parece algo patético the sisters if mercy es buen grupo pero me gusta más el estilo de the misión si fuera mierda the Misión nunca la hubieran echó no siguieran vigentes respeto cada quien su opinión los 2 grupos me gustan pero ningún grupo es perfecto todos hacen lo mismo
Quando o cenário do Gothic Rock entrou em decadência no começo dos anos 90, a boneca do Wayne e o seu The Mission simplesmente pularam fora do barco quando viram que o declínio era iminente, nessa altura as bonecas de Leeds já' estavam flertando com música eletrônica kkkkkkkk. E para promover/ alavancar o estilo, Nosferatu, Suspiria (darwave) e outras bandas fundaram na Inglaterra (o berço do Go'tico) a Gothic Society e se tornaram a segunda geracao do Gothic Rock Amebas como voces focam suas atenções apenas no palco e só' esbravejam quando os músicos trocam a cor das roupas e nao o que acontece nos bastidores, pois eu faco o contra'rio Kkkkkkkk
