Life's a gas..

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.

God this makes me feel old hahaha..I first saw the Sisters in October '84 (Black October tour) and a few more times in '85 and then finally at the Royal Albert Hall - which was quite awesome, I remember seeing some of the original God Squad actually crying !! (no shame there). Then we had the Sisterhood shows - even had Morrison and Eldritch at the Birimingham show, which was nice. And then onto the m*****n - ah, the m*****n. And finally after 185 shows and at least 10 countries later ,it all came to an end for me. Saw Craig at a DMWshow and an Alarm show recently- we spoke briefly, but he was 'working' -he's not changed! I'm old school, I suppose, the FALAA line-up is the defintive for me, the rest are just journey men and glorified session musicians. But it's still nice that some are ,dare I say it, Keeping the faith :)

Hey Now ; That would be me..in the flesh..or is it cyberspace? I get so confused. Ray Ramone ( or "Ramone" as the sex offenders register confirms !) As for 'not being worthy' Your more than worthy, I can assure you. :)

I'm flattered with the comparison (I think!). :)

used to follow rosetta around quite a bit. used to have hughes' "ophelia" (from the "...main chance" single) on the back of my leather :D

also, was a mate of morgan's - he was from over that way i seem to recall. he used to drive me to all the rosetta gigs ;)

hmmm, one particularly unflattering quarriers song springs to mind:

"he's fat, he's round, he's bouncing on the ground! ray ramone!"

oh dear :oops: :lol: ;D

there's a few old rosetta fans on here... dave "snowey" for one.

God I was only thinking about Ramone the other day (nothing pervy, just saw a old Rosetta poster on the wall in Ressurection records) and up he pops like a bad smell (lol).

Wayne was asking after you at last years Preston gig. He asked Stokoe (sp) if you were there and he said "Is he f**k" so loud everyone in the venue heard him.... :notworthy: :lol:

Are you still living in the Dingle, sorry Aigburth? and what some of us would like to know ............WHAT'S THE CHANCE OF A ROSETTA REUNION.....

I kinda lost touch with Rosetta after I quit as manager. I spoke to Karl (Bass ) not too long ago. What I could gather was that when the band split up, it wasn't very amicable - and a bit sour. Karl was playing in the Dream Disciples and Porl King is now a proud father!! (He had a child with Kim- his long time better half). I'm not sure what Porl Young (guitar) was doing since he got 'released' from the band, and returned to Brighton. I left due to musical and personal differences (hahaha) - their 'industrial' slant was not to my taste, so my heart was no longer in it. I could waffle on for hours about Rosetta Stone - all good. But I'll save that for another time :) Hope that help clear a few things up for you.
