(Stiff) Media Alert...

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.

I don't disagree with you Keith. He's obviously a very talented man, and it is pretty sad to see him these days :|

The first time I saw that programme about him I was nearly in tears, I remember him at the first Pogues gig I went to in 1985, The Pogues were the Second live band I saw and it's left a lasting impression, anyone who saw the Pogues about the same time will testify to the sheer energy & passion from both the band and crowd of a Pogues gig, I've never experienced anything like, even when I was following Fields of the Nephilim, nothing ever matched the Pouges gigs I'd been to, I saw then 6 or 7 times between 85 & 89ish, like them or not, I rate them as one of the best Bands Britain has ever produced.
It's probably typical of Great Britain's attitude to it's artists that he will never be fully appreciated until he's dead, which, if carries on like he is, won't be to long.
Shane MacGowan is one of the best, most under rated, unappreciated Lyricists and song writers of all time, seldom has an artist had the respect of his peers that MacGowan undoubtedly has.
It breaks my Heart to watch him decend to the Depths he has.
And no Claire, his teeth haven't been as bad.

:notworthy: Saw them @ Rock City in 85 and 88 - stayed way waaaaaaay back. Can't add anything more eloquent. Just really glad I saw them when I did.

They can still make me cry.
