Parents probably not so. And I doubt that "Sisters Anniversary Gig" is an "Approved Sporting Activity" or any of the other weak excuses available
Do you know what the yanks are like in such matters? For that comment you'll (and I'll) probably be whisked off 'for a chat' if we ever so much as step off a plane over there. Which fortunately I never plan to do (again).
Unfortunately, I couldn't afford £3.69, so Vegas is a bit of a non-starter anyway.

Who bothers about the support band when you can do this instead?
Look at the display. Am I not the lucky one?

Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Yeah, it totally rocks! I think the whole thing is hilarious. Knowing Eldritch's perverse sense of humour this is exactly the sort of silly stunt I'd have expected him to do. I can just imagine him now in his white suit, on stage as support act to Barry Manilow in some glitzy Vegas venue, then joining Mr Manilow towards the end of his set for a duet of 'Mandy'.eastmidswhizzkid wrote:No. It's BOLLOCKS.Deviancy wrote:The Sisters in Vegas in February...

let's hope so -but why then not do the 25th anniversary here and do vegas some other time? whoever's pay-rolling the gig must be a fan (as someone said over in sisters chat).

But why would a real fan lure Von away from the place that he knows to be the band's "spiritual home" for such a special occassion as the 25th anniversary? Someone with that amount of money can surely afford a plane ticket to wherever the girls are playing, without thoroughly pissing off a large proportion of their fellow fans

and maybe a world tour to promote the album he's going to finance?Dan wrote:If it's a fan hopefully he's got enough money left over to pay for a DVD release of the gig.
if it's some big rich american fan then it could be more likely than you think.

Good point. Maybe it was all Von's idea. Maybe he's having a Christmas joke and maybe it's York after all. Hopefully we'll find out the answers soon enough.Motz wrote:But why would a real fan lure Von away from the place that he knows to be the band's "spiritual home" for such a special occassion as the 25th anniversary?

i'm still not convinced that it's not a big xmas joke...one that will kill his american fanbase off forever.Dan wrote:Good point. Maybe it was all Von's idea.

That would be great. Seriously.
If I recall correctly, one of the problems with the "new" (mid-90s ) album was distribution in the States. If Von can whittle his fan base down to Europe alone, then maybe it'll be easier for a small independent to put an album out for him?

Now he's got a weird sense of humour, but I don't see him doing that, see how little of us there's left in Europe already...
I did find the Barry Manilow suggestion very comical though, Mandy instead of Emma/Jolene/... ?
