Heartland

Damn, I wish I had the money, then I'd pop over a kill a few birds with one stone so to speak. Vancouver's a second home to me. I miss it a lot. for some reason, i miss it to. but only 'cos i moved away in november SPECIFICALLY because the sisters would never be bothered with such a place. (oh, i s...

i don't mean to p*ss on anybody's parade here, honest, but some people have difficulty in letting the man move at all...if he doesn't give what you specifically go to hear, you'll say it's a botched performance...in this case, you want to hear him sing the way he did in -98 (or whatever) and if he ...

Great venue, good crowd, decent sound, great set list. Unfortunately, Eldritch’s vocal performance was very disappointing. At times, there were glimpses of The Voice, but that was all.

I am!

A top nite out with Andy, hopefully!

Isn't there a big mental institution in the Baltimore area ? Then "still in Baltimore" = still locked up Interesting take on the line. Are you thinking of a particular, well-known place? The last two lines of the verse I've quoted have always been a mystery to me. People on this thread have suggest...

I've been wreaking havoc on my brain trying to interpret this but can't come up with something that I will keep agreeing to for more than a few hours. Any helpful insight will be much appreciated Eldritch is having fun with language once again. At first you think the song is about the speaker admit...

Thanks In terms of overall theme, a hard one to figure, but you could pick out a fairly veiled attack on televangelism and perhaps organised religion more generally ('all the things we never needed'...you can hail maries all night to no avail...). Not totally confident about this one, but the secon...

I have no idea what any of it means. :innocent: I need help. Any thoughts on any lyrics or anything please post!!! Literally anything! I've never understood it & its one of my faves. Like Badlander says, think dancefloor. Now the definition of "floorshow" is "a series of acts presented in a nightcl...

We have heard many Heartlanders express their wish that Eldritch hire a live bass player to relieve the workaholic Doktor. Just to prove the democratic nature of this Heartland is there anybody out there who prefers the Doktor's playing? If so, it would be great to hear your arguments. In case Eldri...

Speaking of Doctor Jeep. Does anyone have an idea about who or what that is? Meanwhile, in the Sheraton, Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on. The closest I've got to an answer is that this is a reference to a drum machine, cf. Doktor Avalance, but that doesn't seem very satisfactory somehow. Any ide...

Is it just me in imagining that the "businessmen in South Miami" might not exactly be in the most legal of businesses? Page Crockett and Tubbs... http://www.markfiend.com/images/whiteline.gif Spooky; I just looked at the wiki entry for Miami Vice : apparently, Sonny Crockett was a Wide Receiver ......

Great! Thanks Olga for your enthusiastic review. Can't wait to see the pics.

I am de-lurking myself to post...so I figure its appropriate to link to this lovely review I found in my searching: http://www.bigtakeover.com/reviews/the-sisters-of-mercy-house-of-blues-las-vegas-thursday-february-16-2006 Pretty accurate, but I wish there were real pics from the show :!: Hehe. I w...

My top five: 1. "Fix." (With Craig Adams and Lemmy on duelling basses! "The love for the corpse for the corporation." Eldritch should be made poet laureate of a small exploited country for that line alone.) 2. "Amphetamine Logic." (You've gotta love Eldritch's self-induced nervous breakdown in the l...

Thank you for locating those excellent photos.

Eldritch looks sharp in the jacket. Looks like he went shopping in the Land of the Free

Have you Heartlanders seen this?

Yes, of course the words have to sound good and fit the music--but if that was all, Eldritch would be like 99.9% of the musicians out there--and he isn't. That's why we like him, right?

Excellent concert, the band were in top form. Thanks a million for the review. It is very exciting to get such detailed dispatches from the front line.

From Dan at Dominion: There was a time when Ben and Chris met in the middle of the stage facing each other and it was very Spinal tap AE almost fell over himself laughing on the side of the stage. Dare I say he seems happy. Hehe. Thanks for the scoop! It seems Eldritch is now prepared to do anythin...

I wonder who will be playing drums for the Cult. John Densmore perhaps?

Les Warner of course.

. . . and, of course, Craig Adams will be on bass and Gary Marx on rhythm guitar . . .
