Re: Mister Whammy's Amp!?!
Fender's two-point Trems are very very reliable, moreover, if you combine them with locking tuners and some graphite on the nut you are golden, if memory serves me well, that's what Ben uses on his strat as well. Thanks for the tip! So that's not a Floyd Rose? The last guitar I had with a whammy wa...

Re: "Black Album" bootleg - Eldritch/Pearson demos
Yeah, Top Nite Out is the only one that's actually any good, but none of the rest even sound like the songs as we know them, although Crash & Burn could make a case for being a (very distant) second best. These will turn out to have been someone noodling in their bedroom with a PC, nothing more...

Re: Von interview courtesy of Mr Andrews...
a fabulous interview! great work by Mark Andrews , who we all know has been after a one-on-one with Eldritch for what must be years. i'm sure the fact that he didnt get it until after finishing 'Paint My Name...' had nothing to do with any contrariness in the nature of Our Glorious Leader... :innoc...

Re: The star in the logo
This took me f**king ages to find....answers in the last line. From a new Australian interview: Interviewer (Adam de Ville): I was wondering with The Sisters of Mercy logo, how did that originally come about? Were there other designs that didn’t make it? Eldritch: Actually no, there never were any ...

The star in the logo
It might be me and it also might have been mentioned a million times before...but could it be that to the head in the logo the star surrounding it was inspired by THIS? I just noticed today while looking at a copy. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4cAAAOSw ... -l1600.jpg

Re: Worst band you have seen live and why?
Second on the list most definitely is Marc Almond. What a pile of s**t. Way back when we went to a number of festivals to see the Girls and it almost seemed that every bloody time Marc Almond hit the stage before they were due. He has got one of those voices that I absolutely despise ..which turns a...

Re: Worst band you have seen live and why?
The worst band I have EVER seen was a local band called Schutzraum... They had a cheap casio keyboard, a s**t guitarist/bassist and a singer that was even worse.. They were all drunk and drugged as hell.. The vocalist went by the name of Kikker Stacheldraht..in English: Frog Barbwire... He couldn't ...

Who was the male that presented himself as a female in the More video? I can't quite remember as it actually HAS been that long ago.

We have just lost the greatest guitarist ever..along with Jimi Hendrix.

Superb show last night. I really loved it. So much better than the last time in Paradiso. Great set, great versions of the songs, great atmosphere, stunning lightshow and finally less smoke. :) It was a great show, possibly my favourite of the dozen or so that I have seen in the last 10 years.

My two added cents to the conversation. I have seen Sisters many times live, some of them recorded parts or whole gigs. Whatever the quality of the recordings and the means (semipro camera or phone or pro camera) the sound in the gig was much better than any of the recordings at the same position h...
