if they missed the 'the' out (well spotted randdebiel²) on the cover, I can guess what the content is like, was a certain Mr. Mercer involved with this one?

What exactly is Von's beef (ahem!) with The Mick? Is it purely down to "You called me a g-g-g...ohIcan'tsayit - and I'm sooo not! LOOK I'm wearing a big orange jacket that makes me look like a B&Q worker just to prove how totally not-g-g-g-... oh you know... I am!"

I think these things are often the NME turning their archive upside down. Hardly going to be any new material I'd say. Still, there was a good article with Andrew in the NME around the time of the greatest hits release I believe. It had the Cure on the front cover. Can't recall but I have it somewhere...
The NME logo is a bit of a misnomer -- since the death of the Melody Maker, their archives are regularly plundered as well, plus other mags too I think from memory.hallucienate wrote: and we all know how much von just loves the NME

"You tell me; I don't write for NME."
There's some modern day narrative, but it's essentially word-for-word reprints which are good to see again.

Sorry mates, a bad-English-speaking Heartlander from Peru... no, from Estonia (this time) wants to know if any of you could be so kind and send me this issue. If you sent me a PM we could discuss how could I pay. But be sure, I would do it.

Quote from the Virgin.net interview:
"I gather Mick Mercer keeps revising his Book Of G*** to include ever-more-ascerbic comments about us because we still refuse to talk to him. Go figure."

Yeah, I've heard that one. But why will Von not talk to him (I know he says 'we' but I assume it's a Royal we).Karst wrote:Quote from the Virgin.net interview:

i imagine he must have said something in the very early days that von took umbridge to
certainly mr mercer has been a staunch supporter of all things goffick for the last decade plus, and even seems to respect the sisters
so i've no idea where eldo got the idea that mick holds some sort of grudge from.
unless, shock! horror! gasp! and i know this is very much out of character for him, but unless von is actually the one holding the grudge?
nah, thats not like our fearless leader now, is it?
just a thought

Mick Mercer is a journalist - and not a very good one to be honest. He has tried to write the History of G*** times over again while fewer people have become interested and he's forced to sell his goods over eBay at knockdown prices. Seems to me that poor Mick nearly considers it a personal injury that Eldritch refuses to speak to him let alone acknowledge him. Another aspect is that some people seem to accuse the Sisters of turning G*** into stadium rock and making it mainstream (although that is maybe more relevant to the Mish/Cure in the latter part of the Eighties).
In the end people like Mercer are pretty much irrelevant as they provide a skewed analysis. They can't seperate the concept of a 'movement' and the corporate set up of the music biz.

It might help if he could write an interesting story instead of his dull facts about how The Cult were not only the founding fathers but the champions of Goth music
