OK, so what's the fncking deal?

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.

Now I know I've not been the most attentive of devotees over the past two decades, but why the fnck does Eldritch seem to prefer playing au continet? Is it a Big in Japan kind of thing?

Or does one verse of Marian in German make you some kind of god over there?
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Hasn't he said in the past that he doesn't like the fan base over here - we're too weird :lol:
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

Because folks in mainland Europe have better taste in music, simple.

They're not afraid to indulge in a bit of oh-so-passe Goth Rock silliness... wheras everyone over here's so damn uptight about having the latest trousers and listening THE f**king LIBERTINES and whatever other s**t the NME is telling me I should like this week... :evil: :urff:

...sorry. :oops:

But, really, he just knows where it's at, that's all.
Germany.
T'was ever thus. :wink:

But I am an oh-so-passe Goth - and have been since I was a wee strip of a lass; actually,when I do the maths, its half my life (but thats way to scary to contemplate :eek: ).

Still - I know exactly what you mean - I am forever moaning about how there is nowhere for people like me to go out at a weekend any more and it is because the trendies have taken over. And don't get me started about the people who call themselves goth but have never heard of the Sisters :evil:

Read the interviews; he simply doesn't like England anymore, for any variety of reasons, be it politics, the press, the fans, the promoters, the society, everything...

He's not far wrong.
