Has Chris quit The Sisters?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Btw, if i may ask for, please renew bass player and drumer also, these days they are even more nostalgia than the rest of the team. Of course both in bits and bytes is fine.

Gary Marx would be fitting at this stage of the game.

He surely won't be the one, tho.

It was a good run and Chris is a genuinely lovely human being.

I’m interested to see what evolution precipitated this change or, if it was random, what evolution it will...catalyze. (Sorry.)

On official TSOM site: no hidden news on live or other sections about NME gig. No info elsewhere. But, you people with contacts, will know it before anyone else.

I miss him already. Genuinely loved everything he brought to the band, booked tickets to next gig hoping to see him again. Excited to see what the line-up is next, but hope it's only temporary. Good luck to him whatever though.

This is what happens when you book a load of dates before checking whether your guitarist can actually play them.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Most likely some rather unknown not very expensive guitarist recommended by either Ben och Chris. So welcome back Wayne! :D

I don't remember the reason for Mike parting, but if Mike got back we would also get Susanne...that would be great.

I like Mike, but Chris Starling was there before him in '96.
I can't remember any detail but wasn't it AE's decision to let Mike go and bring back Chris?

I'm not sure, but I definitely could see Mike and Ben working well together. A bit similar but not too much. And none of them would take too much space or have a challenging ego.
Although I would almost guess it's someone younger.

20 years ago or so? IIRC, his consumption habits had gone somewhat out of hand ...
