Mysterious Von

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Because I fcuked up big time on here due to gender confusion.

I think the mystery is in the heads of the people who like there to be mystery.
I've personally always found him very approachable so lomg as you don't just burst in on a conversation and ask inane questions, eg FAQ of the stupider kind and then demand an autograph.

He's more serious than mysterious.

If you get into a conversation with him he's more than likely to test your intellect by asking your opinion about the state of the world. Often the case with serious people that they're inquisitive - more interested than interesting.

That said, he has a very dry wit that you can actually miss if you're not paying attention (thinks: was that sarcasm, irony, a compliment, an insult or a combination thereof....) and to collapse the myth a little further has a thin little laugh and a tendency to giggling and sniggering which is amusing in itself. And he laughs at fart jokes.
Something pithy.

I've gotta know: does Andrew visit this forum? If so, I don't think he'd come here too often.

We...don't know. Maybe. I'm sure he has Baxcorp watching us, but please let's not resurrect the Chairman Chronicles, eh?

I met him very briefly once.He said he's frightened of horses and have I any tips(not tits) for him! :lol:
He's a dark horse who hides behind blinkers! :wink:

It's all very simple.

f**ked-up (sounding) background, so he went and became a git. :roll:

But no-on cares, 'cos he's sexy. :kiss: Hooray!

Is that mysterious enough for you?

How about those of us who don't find him sexy?
I do want to emulate him as much as possible, though...

Mmm. Eldritch, as defined by dictionary.com is Strange or unearthly; eerie. Then, consider his reply to this comment...

AE - Doomy* is a housewives' word for realistic. It's a dangerous world.
Realistic. His own word. I suspect he's taken Eldritch as a send-up to his contemporaries - Bauhuas, anyone? Regard his opinion on that hoary old corpse of a horse, the band name...
Meloday Maker, January 1983 wrote:
"The name's nice and ironic" said Andy with a thin grin.
I'll take his word for it. He's realistic. He approaches the world at a different angle - obtusely, if you will, but mysterious? No, he's actually pretty open. The thing is, underneath there is an educated English gentleman, not some bat-eating drug-addled American rockstar. Therein lies the so-called 'mystery' of rock idols. Their bizarre private lives. Andrew's private life is - I assume - simply not that peculiar.

Again, all of this is nothing more than an opinion... 8)

I can't answer that question without getting into trouble. Make of THAT what you will.

Because I trust you Si, and because the Heartlanders have been such good sports, have a look at this picture and see if you can't identify the chap at the back. I have a better picture, in the possession of a mate, which I may post later.

And may God have mercy on us all.

I do have plans to write a few articles for some computer magazines, randomly appear as another band's bassist, judge some independant short film contests, and then hint at a flurry of concerts...so don't write me off just yet.

I'm not officially wussed-out yet...but I can't see me making it. Anyway, if I wasn't being threatened by mad people wielding archaic weaponry, life just wouldn't be the same.
