Sister Morphine

Midnight Angel,

Your preference is going to determine it. Obviously we have a lot of division here on this board, which is nice. It means we have a good variety of tastes represented. Skid and Slutty80 obviously like their rock a little harder edged. The Bernie Edwards SISTER MORPHINE is very sleazy, and Skid's comparison to Sea Hags is right on. They are very similar in style.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Sea Hags, and I don't like the Bernie Edwards version of the band at all. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm just saying that I'm a proud glamster. I like my music lightweight, very pop, and with as little attitude as possible. That's why I'll take Heart Throb Mob or Queeny Blast Pop any day of the week over Motley Crue. I like songs about bubblegum, high school proms, and rainbows. Skid's comparing the Boston Sister Morphine to Poison or Pussycat is also right on. They are very much into sing along choruses, and are a very commercial glam band.

In short, if you like your music harder edged and heavier, you'll like the Bernie Edwards lineup best. If you think Poison is THE shit, and the more pop a band is, the better, you'll like the Boston band much more...

I own material from both bands...and I do have to say that the Boston Sister Morphine was the better outta the two. The other SM lacked in the songs...nothing was a stand out...in otherwords...after a listen to the full album, no song was remembered.
Boston's SM was sleazy glam which as mentioned sounded to me like early Alleycat Scratch.

I have ST original!

Fully agree with Raggz there. I didn't DISLIKE the Sister Morphine that the tracklist is up for, it was okay i guess but nothing stood out at all. I'm more into the glammier side of sleaze i guess lol, so the Boston band blew me away when i first heard that demo years ago.

BTW Lynsey... if you need a copy of that Boston Sister Morphine lemme know. I can maybe send it to you via yahoo messenger or something? Or email?

yeah that would be cool if you could do that for me Andii [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] They have blocked all messengers at work but I have a gmail account you could send it to
