Are The Sisters g*th or not

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.

I don't remember much about the 80's, the words drug, induced and stupor spring to mind, but I do remember the Sisters were considered Goth. As opposed to Killing Joke (more my cup of tea at the time) who were technically Goth but considered post punk rockers

And the fact that i occasionally listen to the Sisters or the Fields of the Nephilim or the Cure or Ordo Equilibrio or Arcana at night in the middle of a pentagram in a dark old forest with an old church in ruins near by a cemetery dressed in all black with candles lit doesn't make me a goth either
I just like it that way :von:

Goths=weirdos
The only good goth is the dead goth. Hmm this is redundant, most of them ARE dead anyway, aren't they? At least some look like they are. :von:
And the Sisters are NOT goth, I don't listen to goth music :von:

And i agree with gs, dressing in black is a matter of personal choice, has nothing to do with gothness :von:

By the way, does anyone else think Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor kicks *ss? It's really beautiful isn't it?

Let's pretend for the sake of argument that the Sisters MIGHt have been at SOME point a LITTLE gothlike :P
At least they did it with style hum? Has anyone ever done it better then them? I don't think so. :wink:

And back them (the good old days) things were a little different no?
Something that once was meaningful, artsy, had depth and beauty turned into a bunch of clichès put together by a younger (and cluless) generation :sad:
And the fact that americans discovered gothdom didn't help much either, did it?
I should go to sleep before i embaress myself further

By the way, i'm not bashing america or the young (i'm still a young kid myself :razz: ), i just mean that when something becomes fashionable usually its 'soul' is ruined, whatever that is
Oh well, who cares anyway

We know Von's current opinion on goth's.
But has he always been a man like this?
I don't know but if I think about the name he has taken:
Eldritch...
What do you think?
