Interview with Carl McCoy!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is it true that he sang in a local reggae band in his early days (pre FotN)? I read that somewhere (can't remember where) and I suspect him to have a mighty fine rasta roar ;D

FOTN is site advertisement, sleeve art and SPV info are any indication.
Yeah everything is under the name FOTN which confused me as he had previously stated that all further releases would be under the name 'The Nephilim' something about wanting to look forwards not backwards.

I'm assuming someone at the record company, particularly with a view to
flogging the back catalogue convinced Carl that it would be more commercially viable to use FOTN, and avoid any confusion.

Where did you get the picture in you're avatar? :lol:
Just when I thought Carl couldn't look anymore peculiar (or silly).

Agreed. But good to know that he has some profane goals as well:
"We want to challenge The Cure to a hot curry competition and a game of snooker."

Is that not Petit - at least he had a sense of humour. Never really liked the Neffies - or any of the G*th second coming for that matter.

Yes, Mr McCoy wasn't pleased you leaked his pictures! Although i must admit my part, as i helped distribute them! :lol:

Apparently the site they originally appeared on was german, so it could be a record company leak. The same day it happened the myspace profile was removed, it seems 'The Watchman' wasnt happy :wink:

he looks as if he would resolve into dust any second. Not even the black veil can protect him from the sunlight.

Back to the topic at hand:

Is he still in contact with Cian Houchin and has he heard any Saints Of Eden?

Also he's possessed of a selective memory:
For Melody Maker in '89..
"There are some ugly people. Look, at That Guitarist. He's ugly isn't he?"

"It's great when The m*****n or the Sisters go in the charts, but at the same time, I feel what they're contributing is sort of conforming," he sniffs.

"I don't think we can slag these bands off," ventures Tony.

"I'll slag anyone off," says McCoy.

The,when Wayne rips Carl a new one in an interview in Siren in '92..
" I've read that article on Hussey cos several people were asking me just what I had done to upset that man. I don't know That Guitarist, I never met him and don't know anything about his work except what you get from the TV. "
Okay Carl...
As for questions..
1:Why did you ink a deal with Jungle Records behind the back of the Wright brothers,leaving them stranded?
2:Why did your official merchandise service keep it's customers waiting up to seven months before sending them what they had paid for?
3:What was that countdown on your website counting down to,exactly?
4:Is this pseudo-cult you've created "24th Moment" legit,or just another attempt to make you seem enigmatic and mysterious?
5:Do you think complaining about Jungle releasing "Fallen" is a little unfair,since you hadn't any work to show for five years under contract to them?

I used to really love the FOTN,but jeez McCoy is a delusional prima donna..
