glad you had a good time! 8)
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

You missed me, you git! :lol: :D

Can I add that it was nice to hear the First & Last & Always intro played properly, and not the abomination we've had to suffer in previous years.
Plus either the arrangement for Temple Of Love was slightly different, or maybe it was just because the guitars sounded clearer and crisper and much better than I've heard them before.

Your camera is clearly malfunctioning; there are a number of pictures of me, but they've been horribly distorted, so I look like I'm doing things or acting in a style most unlike Sinister.

I demand they be taken down immediately.

I'm not good at posting proper reviews but I'll be at all the gigs and will try my best to add something...

Was brilliant yesterday! I think the sound and AE's voice were better than what we're used to, and the new Chris fits in brilliantly. Was a stonking gig, and somehow they sounded more raw, more like in earlier years than during the last decade.

Looking very much forward to Tilburg.

Agreed. Chris is the man - I thought he took care of the rythm guitar parts admirably, and there was no dodgy make-up on show either! :)

I couldn't agree more, Eva. Although I say this after 'most' Sisters shows, this most certainly was up there as one of the best. Brilliant.

@ Scardy - top photos mate - nice vantage point you got there. :wink: :notworthy:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Thanks a lot for these photos Simon. :D As the evening approaches I'm slowly getting used to this new image. Can I just say again that I really like the string vest? :oops:

Hmm.... Looking at those pics of Adam makes me wonder - has anyone seen him and Christopher Ecclestone in the same room? :lol:

Finally got home (had to go to work on my way back, that wasn't very nice...). The gig was brilliant. It's totally different experience to see the sisters at such a small venue, on a small stage, with basic lights and not the best sound. They rocked! The band sounds heavier (with their new guitarist), Andrew's voice has also improved (maybe because it has rested for two years? :innocent:). Cannot wait till Tilburg! (no alcohol for me this time :oops: )
