Wow, thanks for sharing the pictures. The first time I see a newspaper really putting in the effort to make their own pictures and write something new.
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Enjoy the shows.... :D

:oops: sorry.

I just had the revelation, that Eldo picked Ben & Chris because of their size. He just couldnt find any smaller guitarists, who wouldnt make him look silly on band pictures.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Wouldn't it be nice to upload some of those pics to the Photo Gallery? It was refreshing to see them as a "band". Thanks a million for posting the address :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Heh... Ben looks incredibly bored by the whole situation in this video. That Andrew looks uncomfortable with it is nothing new :wink:

Does anyone hear what he's saying through all the portuguese interpreting?

The text below is well faithful to that it was spoken in the video as something more:

Ps.: The text is in Portuguese, therefore my English is not very good!

Dois dias antes da apresentação dos ingleses do The Sisters of Mercy no Via Funchal, que será nesta sexta-feira, 19 de maio, a casa de espetáculos paulistana realizou uma entrevista no saguão. Os quatro integrantes tiveram cerca de 30 minutos para falar com a imprensa, mas quem acabou respondendo as perguntas foi o vocalista e único membro da primeira formação, Andrew Eldritch. A banda é formada ainda pelos guitarristas Chris Catalyst e Ben Christo e pelo tecladista Nurse. Doktor Avalanche, a bateria eletrônica, completa o time.
Irônico, ele fazia piadinhas que rendiam algumas risadas entre os presentes, mas, na maioria das vezes, parecia não querer conversar, respondia sim e não. Sem maiores explicações não se lembrava de muitos episódios ocorridos no passado como na última vez em que esteve no Brasil há 16 anos. “Não havia percebido que fazia tanto tempo que eu não vinha pra cá, realmente não me lembro do show e de nada que aconteceu�, falou. Talvez a falta de vontade em dar explicações ou até o aparente descaso com a mídia possam ser explicados em uma resposta que deu quando falou que acha “entrevistas irrelevantes para a música assim como a internet, que só serve aos usuários se for construtiva�.

Sobre os shows da turnê de comemoração aos 25 anos de aniversário do The Sisters of Mercy, ele se negou que rendam algum CD ou DVD especial. O repertório será composto por música inéditas, feitas com a nova formação da banda - que vigora há apenas cinco meses - como a novíssima “Still�, mas também não faltarão alguns clássicos.

Andrew lamentou a relação de seu som apenas com a cultura gótica. “Entendo que este público goste, mas o Sisters dá boas vindas a donas-de-casa, motoqueiros, etc�. Além do que, ele afirma que a banda sempre teve um pé no metal e ressaltou ser fã de Motorhëad e Deftones.

O interesse político do líder da banda oitentista foi por ele ressaltado várias vezes. Andrew assume a postura de “extrema esquerda� e diz que acha fundamental o interesse pela política na música. Acha que a principal falha da cultura pop é essa falta de visão social. “Acho sensacional a postura de Bono, embora não concorde com muito do que ele faz�, disse. “Também não divido o palco com bandas nazistas, mas acho essencial que eles existam para criar uma diversidade�, explicou Andrew, deixando claro na entrevista que quando se tratou de política, ele debateu o assunto.

Sua visão esquerdista culminou em sua conclusão de que o futuro da música é a saída das grandes bandas da gravadoras majors e utilizá-las somente para a distribuição de seu material. Mas para isso, a imprensa também deve cooperar. “Infelizmente a mídia parece dar pouca atenção às bandas que estão fora das majors�, apontou. Sem a menor modéstia, atribuiu a briga com a Warner ao fato de que não existe uma gravadora tão ambiciosa quanto o grupo e ainda criticou músicos que querem ser famosos ao invés de fazer sucesso. “De sucesso, o Sisters of Mercy não precisa mais�, completou ironicamente.

Ele ainda teve um momento de humildade quando agradeceu ao seu público, reconhecendo que se não fosse pelos fãs, não estaria ali naquele local. Afirmou que após os 40 anos é possível, sim, fazer bom rock, disse que se necessário, algum guitarrista está perfeitamente apto para tocar baixo – já que não há baixista fixo no grupo - e desmentiu os boatos de que tenha algum tipo de rixa com os conterrâneos do The m*****n, liderado por pelo ex-Sisters of Mercy, Waine Hussey.

Depois da apresentação em São Paulo, o quarteto ruma para o Rio de Janeiro, onde tocará no Circo Voador, no dia seguinte

[Some strange question]
No! *crowd erupts into giggles*

This one has more energy, it's obviously younger *more giggles* Which makes me have more energy and makes me young too.

This is the longest tour the band has ever done. I think the last one would maybe have died by now.

I click it and it plays, but I cannot save the file.
Offline explorer seems to be able to save the shortcut, but not the file itself. :?

Either I'm too stupid or this one doesn't work either.
Has anyone actually saved the file? If yes, could you please tell me how you did it? :notworthy:

Yep, truly superb pics. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Von does look like he's having a slight Simon Cowell moment (that would be trousers too far up to those who don't know) with his leathers in the 1st pic though don't you think?!
