Von???

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.

Ah, the old self-created mythology. Interesting tidbit: one of the famous barmy postcards from Mexico in 1986 went thus:
ELVIS IS DEAD. I know because he told me. Sorry to break it so bluntly, but you had it coming, hippie. Feed your head - when you can find it. Von Eldritch X.
So unless Tony James gave him the name well before joining the Sisters (which is admittedly possible) one must assume that Eldritch has fallen victim to a senior moment.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Eldritch knew Tony James before.. he (Eldritch) auditioned for Sigue Sigue Sputnik. ;)

Though I think it's all s**t and he just wants to be called it. :lol:

Credible, although surely velocet would have been more appropriate?

I'm with Dark's theory.

You have just forfeited an amazing Genesis Fest. :oops:

Eugh, Van Deutsch :evil:

It annoys me. If it's not an intentional bilingual spoonerism, then it's just f**king stupid :evil:

Of course most of the posers I've seen sporting said label (apologies to all non-posers :P) wouldn't know a spoonerism if it came up and bit them in the mother tongue :roll:
