Of course, there was that other sad twit who used the term "ex Sisters Of Mercy" after he split the Sisters in 1985...
I downloaded Patsy's album from kazaa ages ago. Glad I didn't buy it as it was awful. I read somewhere (her official site I think) that it was only recently she was able to listen to it again and came up with some excuses for the album. Yup, she thinks it's s**t as well.
As for who played bass on Floodland, I suppose if the name of Meat Loaf's bass player at the time (from the Neverland Express) appears on the album credits then it's a reasonable assumption that Patsy didn't play on Floodland. Eye candy is all she is/was. Also, as there was no tour to promote Floodland, this would add to the assumption she never played on the records.
Without wanting to sound arrogant, I saw her live with The Damned and thought I was a better bass player than she is. At least I have some expression in my playing. I was wearing a Sisters' top which she obviously noticed. Aren't I a naughty boy!
