theres a shadowy figure on the left.

Some journeyman guitarist... Eldritch is in the middle somewhere.

[gothadh.livejournal.com]

We'll be seeing that tomorrow night!

[vin_petrol]

I think it's more fun in the moshpit. I can see standing and watching might not be so good.

I'm normally bopping away somewhere. Did they play a good selection of stuff? Did they play it in the normal way or did they do fancy re-mixes of it which annoyed everyone?

[vin_petrol]

There was a good selection, although no "War on Drugs", which I really like. That bloody dirge "Romeo Down" still gets played - I don't like it at all, but it gives me a chance to catch my breath and chat to people. There were a few reworked songs that annoy people too.

I'm with you on both War on Drugs and Romeo Down. I like the way they play Anaconda now, it's high energy. The instrumental which is sometimes called Snub Nose but goes through a variety of other names is great fun. There was one song I didn't recognise, I think it's called "slept" looking at other people's playlists.

Shortly after the Near Meth Experience gig at Joseph's Well I saw somebody else at the same venue who covered Anaconda. It was quite spooky thinking "I saw this played here a few weeks ago in *very* different circumstances."

It is indeed. I think it's called "Top Nite Out" now. Which it seems some people think is breaking the Trade Descriptions act somewhat :-)

That would be Killing Miranda -- I rather like their version.

Top Nite Out is another name for it yeah. I really enjoy it anyway and it gets people moving every time!

[vin_petrol]

That would be Killing Miranda

Ooh, thanks. I couldn't for the life of me remember who it was!

[blondelass.livejournal.com]

I shall take your word for it.

[vin_petrol]

Eldritch was visible later, honest!

[cyberspice.livejournal.com]

Don't you mean Eldrich and friends ;-)

[vin_petrol]

Ah well, this is true. But Nine Inch Nails is much the same, and nobody moans at Trent about it...

[brain-hurts.livejournal.com]

Looks about right.

I shall soon be seeing a version meself.

[vin_petrol]

Yeh ... sadly, my days of following any band around the country are long over.

And sitting in the middle of the fog...is a CD player. :)

[vin_petrol]

HOW DARE YOU!

I have it on good authority it's DAT! :-)

[rich-r.livejournal.com]

We'll be seeing them in Nottingham on Sunday...

[vin_petrol]

Yeh, I'm currently trying to work out how I can sneak off myself to do that. I suspect Trash will notice me missing though :-(

[ladyserpentine.livejournal.com]

That photo sums up the whole shitty thing! Too much pink, too much smoke, no band and hardly any classics.
Fucking abominable.

Good to see you though! ;-)

[vin_petrol]

too much smoke

Er, a silly amount of smoke has been fundamental to Sisters gigs since the mid-80s. Although I do think there was perhaps a _leetle_ too much at this gig. It's not the worst I've been too for it - there was a Rock City gig a few years back where I hardly saw the band at all.

hardly any classics

Ah, but what is a "classic"? Why should Mr Eldritch play songs from long ago that many people like? Perhaps he doesn't? Just because a song from the 80s is popular in goth clubs, why should he care? He's doing his own thing, as an artist, in 2006.

However, it's clear that what Mr Eldritch does in 2006 doesn't suit what ladyserpentine wants to see and hear.

You can always go and see The Sisters of Murphy instead! ;-)

Or lots of other people looking at the general concensus of opinion on LJ.
And you admit that there was a leetle too much smoke? Have a word with your mate then. He doesn't appear to understand!

I haven't seen the Sisters of Murphy but I hear they are much better than the real thing.

[steer.livejournal.com]

Too much smoke?

I'm sorry, I don't understand!

[wibblefish.livejournal.com]

were the levels ok at yours? at ours the voice was way too low.

[vin_petrol]

Hmmm. I suspect it was. I seemed to be amongst people who knew all the words anyway :-)
