The ignorance of Lovelock..

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.

Hey, have you ever come across a 'celebrity' and come away thinking, 'jesus, that person's a real tool in real life' No ? You will if you meet Hussey ( only joking Wayne - but you did have your moments) Like this one back in 1983.

Around the time the Sisters played the Liverpool Warehouse, Mr Jeremy Wayne Lovelock (ne: Hussey) used to hang around the DJ box, trying his hardest to be part of the in-crowd. Well, in away he was, what with Pauline Murray and the Invisable Girls and being in Dead or Alive. Liverpool had quite a music scene going back then; I think even I was a popstar for a while in my mind (Well me mum said I was star at least- Or was that a miserable little b'stard?) I can never quite remember, anyway;

My mate walked up to him and asked him to play a song by the Sisters of Mercy, Hussey looked blankly at him and then declined, 'cos he'd never heard of them; a couple of months later, he indeed joined the Sisters of Mercy.

Just thought I'd share that with you all. Sometimes our lovely popstars aren't really as clued in as they wish you to think they are.

I remember meeting him in PlanetX. Think he was with the drummer (Mick??) He did come across as a bit of a knob, a very drunken one at that. Most people do though when in that sisuation

Wayne was drunk? Surely not :lol:

You say Liverpool had quite a music scence back then...I agree. There is actually more of a vibrant scene now though... If you you visit Ladytrons club, Korova you will be able to see plenty of new underground bands and lots of twatty pop stars any night of the week. I think it's way more vibrant scene nowadays in da 'pool

Didn't either Ben or Robo not know much about the Sisters prior to joining?

Ben, allegedly. Given the time and place, however, I think he had far more reason to be ignorant of the girls than Wayne did.

Ben apparently says he used to listen to Vision Thing when he was in school. So I don't know about that.
