Picture to Gig match

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.

Im pretty sure this photo was from the Festival (Lorelei?) where they announced the Vision Thing tour dates in summer '90. The band (I think minus Tim Bricheno) appeared on stage just prior to the Nephilim performance.

Many people wear rings on their wedding finger without being married. I think he just wore it to wind us up... even though we didn't exist back then... if you know what I mean.

We don't exist when he doesn't see us - and given those shades, I'm not surprised :lol:

IIRC the wedding ring is mentioned in an interview somewhere as a way for :von: to avoid unwanted female attention.

I used to wear a ring on my wedding ring finger. Which probably explains why the girls all stayed away. :(

i know this is waaaaaaay too obvious, but the 'real' sisters of mercy wear wedding rings and they aren't married.

since about forever i just kinda assumed the ring and the cross that he used to wear were a joke on that.

sorry for being lost for stupid again

I still say someone gave it to him.

He did ask for one, after all.
