Goth......

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nah, I do like it, just that it's by no means the ultimate classic that it's often made out to be. A lot of that is down to Rozz's voice not being what it would eventually become, and the alarmingly weak production. The Iconologia versions of the songs show them to be quite good songs.

Eric's right about the lyrics though...
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Me too. :oops:
There's a DVD of the Iconologia concert available too...
Feeling less guilty now. :lol:
I have it on VHS. It's not the best live video ever anyway.

Haven't actually heard them.
Death rock. Nowt really surprising, but it has Eva O on guitar. She's... energetic, to say the least. :eek:
They have two live albums and one studio album. Best track : Night stalker.
On the other hand, Daucus karota, another Rozz W. death rock thingy, is pretty weak IIRC.
And Premature ejaculation (S/M indus noise) is just as painful as it seems.

You should try The Mission then Eric :innocent: :twisted:
Actually the lyrics aren't my main problem regarding the Mish. :innocent:

It's not that I don't care about the lyrics, it's just that if I decide not to pay attention, I can just forget them. How convenient sometimes. :wink: :lol:

I totally agree about Rozz voice, but the weak production is kind of the charm me thinks. :D

And about the lyrics: they were only kids at the time so... :wink:

Here's what got me started. The year was 1985 and bear in mind all I'd been listening to up til then was AC/DC, Motorheid and Deep Purple (all of whom I still love dearly).

Then I went to my mate's house party (we've all been there, parents away, home made cocktails, strangers shagging in your wee sister's bed :wink: ), and someone put on FALAA, and I fell in love. Marian was the song that did it I think

If there's more than one album by each band its cos I probably bought whatever they did up til that point all at once, I was a keen record buyer back in the day. Remember the record fairs at the Assembly Rooms scotty? :wink:

So, FALAA for the above reasons

Fields of The Nephilim - Dawnrazor (the only nephs record I ever bought, dismissed them as Sisters copyists at the time)

Flesh For Lulu - FFL/Blue Sisters Swing/Big Fun City. FFL are to Blast what The Chameleons are to me, simply a band I missed at the time.

Lords Of The New Church - LOTNC/Is Nothing Sacred/Method To Our Madness

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Paint Your Wagon

Alien Sex Fiend - odd songs really, Drive My Rocket (Up Uranus)/Smells Like Sh1t (the funny stuff at first, then I got really into them)

The Cramps - Off The Bone/Songs The Lord Taught Us I hated them at first, probably cos my mate insisted on playing She Said at a ridiculous volume the morning after MY house party, cos he knew how much it wound me up. Ended up loving them though.

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy (still the best album ever recorded)

The Cult - Dreamtime/Love (their last good album, FACT!)

Skeletal Family - Burning Oil/Futile Combat

Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - LAMF (hey who said it was goth only? this is all the stuff I was listening to around that time)

Hanoi Rocks - All Those Wasted Years (up there with AC/DC's If You Want Blood as one of the best live albums ever IMO, and everyone needs a bit of glamour in their life)....and while we're on the subject of glamour...

Gene Loves Jezebel - Discover/Glad To Be Alive (the free live album of older tracks, which led to me buying up all their back catalog)

New Model Army - No Rest For The Wicked/Thunder And Consolation

The Meteors - Little Red Riding Hood/Stampede That growling vocal on Little Red Riding Hood still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, fantastic song.

Bauhaus - 1979-1983 The Singles vol I & II Band I was in at the time used to cover their cover of Ziggy, and we also did a mean Bela Lugosi's Dead :wink:

The March Violets - Natural History/Electric Shades

The Rose Of Avalanche - First Avalanche Can I find a copy of this? Can I feck

The Primitives - Thru The Flowers/Really Stupid (the growly original release of Thru The Flowers, not the polished jangly version as seen on Wogan :urff: ) Kinda like JAMC with a cute female singer :wink:

Echo & The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing - yep this was my first Bunnymen record, I'm not ashamed to admit that I was a late starter getting into what is now my favourite band. Probably why I prefer the later stuff to the earlier. Couldn't tell you the last time I listened to Crocodiles all the way through :innocent:

and finally The m*****n - all the singles up to round about Severina (I think) - hey they served a purpose. Filled a void until Eldritch got his arse in gear and released Floodland. Plus the girl I was seeing at the time kinda meant that Hussy's lot were an 'our band' type of thing.



...and probably a lot more that I forgot, but they are the main ones I was listening to religiously in 85/86, when it all started for me :wink:

A bit of a goth hit when it came out. Waaaaaaaaay over the top if you ask me. :von:

All the albums after this one got only worse and worse anyway. :innocent:
If it's possible for lamentable turdwalloping cack to get any worse. :D

Catastrophe Ballet is the one everybody needs to listen to. Plus it makes a great name for a pub quiz team.

If you can get to hear any of these songs, I totally recommend them:

Awake At The Wall
Sleepwalk
The Drowning
The Blue Hour
As Evening Falls
Androgynous Noise Hand Permeates
Electra Descending
C*rv*x Couch
This Glass House
The Fleeing Somnambulist
Catastrophe Ballet - is the only CD of CD you need to own. :D

I wonder if these Goff ladies would agree :?: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1PnwJm6sAw

That's probably the wisest thing I've heard in a long long time. I still regret getting rid of a lot of my old stuff cos I thought it was "uncool" at the time. :oops:
