By the way, who likes surprises... http://www.thesistersofmercy.ca/ And it's not a cruel joke, it's all I got. :roll: Whoa! :eek: Holy clear-as-day-vocals Batman! I thought we had decent sound cause I could actually hear Von and make out what he was singing (course it doesn't hurt that I know all t...

Ah, yes: something I picked only while hearing Something Fast this time. I've always loved the double- and triple-entendre in AE's lyrics, the layers that come out when taken in a different light. I LOVE this about his lyrics - I'll hear a song and it will make me thing of one thing, or evoke a cer...

I brought a stereo digital recorder (Zoom H4) and was psyched to try my hand at a boot, but HOB security was extremely tight. I watched as people ahead were wanded and patted down, opened bags, the whole nine yards. As I walked up, the first fellow told me I'd have to check my knapsack, in which I'...

According to Mr. X, the girly tour tops were already sold out in Chicago. :cry: Does 'someone' seriously not understand how many FEMALE fans they have??? :roll: Apparently not...according to the merch guy I got the last two girly tour shirts in Chicago... :innocent: Didn't know the other girly shir...

also later in the thread: Yep, I remember that. He (Eldritch) was pissed off at the promoter and handed us that book! Funny. Yeah, he wouldn't really talk to us, but Hussey was so freakin' nice. In hindsight, it seemed he might have been hitting on me, but I was completely oblivious. Years later, Bu...

@ozpat....very good point! The band still gets the revenue from the ticket sale even if the ticket isn't used. To all the Europeans here: please don't judge all US fans based on the ignorance of a few. The majority of us are cool. :D I just think that people should keep the negativity down...if you...

I found a few other reviews of this show - nothing professional, just other postings elsewhere. None good. :( Which I actually find rather surprising because I was thrilled with it, and the crowd energy seemed good - I'll admit I was a bit disappointed in 2006 (still enjoyed it though) but this year...

Something I just came across, doing random searches for any Sisters reviews/postings/whatever. Apparently a little club near Ball State University called The No Bar and Grill (in Muncie, IN) in the late 80s was in possession of an address book of contacts for various bands - turns out Eldritch had a...

Maybe they are actually selling these, but used the wrong picture? http://www.amazon.com/Sisters-Mercy-Trading-Card-Set/dp/B0010WVSNK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1227040480&sr=8-10 I actually have those cards. :oops: :lol: A friend at work who I talk music with a lot (he's 18...

Knew you'd be pleased. Hopefully it wasn't overkill - but I had such a great time I wanted to describe it all in detail.

The Chicago crowd transformed completely as the concert went on, from zombies to dancers :-) Ben and Chris love playing Logic - I didn't meet them but it really showed! Let's pray it stays in the setlist in Europe. Andrew made some comments, but nothing I could hear. His singing got better with eac...

Ah, one more thing - Hypernova started about an hour after doors open I believe, not sure how long they played but there really wasn't much time between when they left the stage when Sisters came on. I seem to remember it being a lot longer last time around, between Warlocks and Sisters. The before/...

LONG - but all my thoughts and such: No setlist surprises, same as Detroit but we got Something Fast :) 01 Afterhours (intro music) 02 Crash & Burn 03 Ribbons 04 Train/Detonation Blvd 05 Flood I 06 Marian 07 Alice 08 Giving Ground 09 This Corrosion 10 Anaconda 11 We Are the Same, Susanne 12 Summ...

I wont lie while Vons vocals were louder then they have been, he left out alot of the words on alot of the songs. I may be giving to much credit but could he be doing it so maybe all the prerecorded nonsense will stop? Listening to the mp3s just now - sounds like he got a bit lost on Ribbons, he st...

Woohoo! That is Afterhours in the intro! Seems they've swapped FALAA for Logic based on the past few shows - as much as I love Logic I'm not crazy about the "new" arrangement, I'd actually rather hear FALAA - the way they're played live these days I prefer it. *puts on flame suit* :oops: :...

mention in "Time Out Chicago" issue 194 Nov. 13-19. It's one of the "critic's picks" for top live shows. http://www.timeout.com/chicago/articles/music/68766/sisters-of-mercy Eldritch hasn’t released new music since 1993, though frequent tours sate the hungry devotees. Anticipat...

I've only recently gotten into Vision Thing - always liked Ribbons, More and I Was Wrong, but didn't care for the rest of it until recently - and absolutely disliked Detonation Boulevard and Dr. Jeep. Well, I've now become a fan of it, and am addicted to Dr. Jeep in particular (haven't a clue why - ...

With for me - just cause that's how it was meant to be. But when referring to it I am guilty of just saying "Logic" cause it's less to type. :wink: Somewhat off topic - for some reason I can't ever think of the song without remembering the intro for it, on the Disguised in Black boot: &quo...

I did think the heart-shaped shades were pretty groovy... http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l16/TehTeej/Sisters%20Stuff/Shirt.jpg Me too - that's kind of what inspired this (apparently) ill-advised thread. :urff: It's pretty overwhelming that nobody likes the idea - well one other person voted yes ...

and hey, over in the KMFDM thread - we agree that Symbols is our fav. Some common ground, eh?

I call for the OP to be banned :eek: :eek: Oh come now I'm not that bad - at least I wasn't involved in the (what now seems to be infamous from past posts I've read) Great YCBTO Divide. :innocent: Have a sense of humor man - I'll beg for mercy to not be banned :( And hey, I am getting a couple of p...

Nicole , your humour is of the cruel kind. :| I am officially afraid of you now. :| :lol: Well I thought it was funny... :innocent: Gave me a good laugh anyways - maybe it's just another sign of my job driving me out of my mind. I assure you there is nothing to be frightened of - I'll not speak of ...

That bad, huh? Was just a thought, all in fun...

a pair of Kanye "Stronger" style shutter shades to his eyewear arsenal? :lol: So I, uh, kind of liked the Stronger song (hey, Daft Punk sample) and video... :oops: http://www.videostatic.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/07/15/kanye_stronger1.jpg http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/3/P112...

jesus, this is no-nonsense 8bit rock n roll. It is fun and future wrapped in chrome. It is drugs with a cruel taste. It is an ideal crash in a rented car from Panama. His voice is sexy. The guitars are loud. :eek: Wow - that description is incredible - the imagery is spot on. I've only seen them on...
