Sisters in 2006

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.

Amazing, the power of The Sisters. One update. A couple of lines. 'Silver'...'Las Vegas'...generates no less than four pages of posts! Analyzing all known meanings of 'silver', 'bullet', 'Vegas'.

Yeah, get on with it, Sisters. Announce the annual mortgage gigs so we can get on with planning...

Blimey, just got a mail off Dominion, reminding me of the Lyrics to Motorhead's "Bite the Bullet". That just about wraps it up methinks, in every sense. :|

Merry bastard.

People are over-analysing too much. Maybe you should be taking the words at face value?

If he was loving us long time with a silver bullet clenched between his teeth, I haven't noticed it. Normally this would be decent grounds upon which to pursue other lines of investigation, but this is :von: :lol:

ok I don't doubt the in-knowledge all you people have - but I'm just wondering why they are writing USA next to it then, be it in white on a white (silver?) page?

This just came to Dominion - think it -sounds- very credible:

ElysiumAustin@aol.com
Ämne: Re: [Dominion] RE: las vagas venue
Till: never_listen@hotmail.com, dominion@toybox.twisted.org.uk
Datum: Mon, 26 Dec 2005 03:44:14 EST

For what it's worth (which may not be much), I heard through a booking
contact that the Sisters were playing in Vegas mid February at a
location to be
determined; I have since heard (speculation?) from another contact that
it most
likely would be the HOB...

I heard (or rather read) this almost concurrently, but independently
from the
posting here.

I run a mid-size venue (500 cap.) in Austin, Texas that caters to the
hard
rock, industrial and yes, g*** crowd... (yes, in Texas) I only
mention that as
a reference for what I heard.

This may be BS I am hearing, but I am cautiously optimistic about
seeing them
again (last time was in '91 in Atlanta).

We will all wait and see...

silver bullet - lone ranger - solo gig

silver bullet - kills werewolves

bite the bullet - do something you don't really want to do.

love you long time - the utterance of an oriental prostitute, a lie in order to secure money.


Just a couple of thoughts that may mean nothing. He's a card, isn't he.

That was my first connotation too, but even after prolonged contemplation I couldn't make up a connection between TSOM and werewolves. (apart from the fact that Eldritch howls from time to time after sunset out of my cd player of course.)
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate kick in the teeth to all the UK/European fans who've kept his pension fund topped up over the years? No disrespect to our Amerikan cousins but everyone is working for the Yankee dollar. Even Eldritch. Or so it may appear. Maybe the one-off 'fee' was too good to refuse? And he owes us nothing. :von:

Anyone else booked their Vegas plane ticket yet?
