Introduction of Johnny Rotten

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.

Hello All

I should have done this earlier on, but here goes.

I'm Johnny Rotten (realname Robert), i'm from the The Hague area in the west of holland, and i'm 27 years old a lorry driver of profession.
Been introduced into the sisters by a m8 who gave me an audio version of the "wake" vid somewot 4 years ago, and after the first tunes of FALAA i wuz convinced that this stuff wuz brilliant, and trough a very good m8 of mine who has been a sisters fan from 1982, i've obtained alot of sisters material(either live as official and not so official releases), i am always on the hunt to get anything which has anything to do with either the sisters or merciful release. i've only seen the sisters twice: 2005 in 013 Tilburg and 2006 in the melkweg Amsterdam.
And since last weekend i've got a head & star logo tattoed on my left arm :D.

this is not the best of introductions, but one can only do so much :)

grtz JR

Welcome indeed.

So, having heard the Wake gig, then seeing the band in mid-00s mode, whaddya reckon to the, erm, stylistic changes? Just curious as to how a relative newcomer to the Sisters see's their current form.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Very good question Dave, I personally feel the 1981(start giggin')-1985 is the best, i offcourse i like Mr Eldritch in black and dark shades and beeing with the old side marx/adams/gunn or hussey (likely it would have been a totally different side then the current one is, thou it could have been a "mish" with eldritch i dunno, no disrespect to the current side offcourse, robochrist and christo are brilliant) .
The music changed as Andrew did (evolution in a unexpected form) , thou i think it never lost the power, maybe it has lost the undercurrent a bit troughout the years, but still i cant name any band which could even get close to the current sisters let alone the old sisters.

i can listen to any given sisters track as it wuz for all i care Damage Done to Still i feel they are all gr8 ,i'm sorry i cant discripe it to you, it is something i feel but it's a very good question i'll think about this one.

In fact, the dark secret is that this is really a Prog Rock forum in disguise. Tales From Topographic Oceans, anyone?

Welcome, indeed!

Haha OMG you guys rock :notworthy:
Thnx again for the welcome, i need to admit i'm not technical but i would be more then pleased to put some on the sharing section, and weeding i never did so far (obviously ;) ), and i wouldn't mind to participate with that aswell, cos i feel anything i own i for every one to have, since we all share the same passion , i wouldn't want to cut somebody out.
only one problem is...i'm not technical as i said before, thou i cruise the internet with the highests of speed. i know "rude word"all about putting something on it :(.
and since i've obtained some sets with a good friend of mine(paid quite a prize for it), i need to ask him wether its ok (i reckon it would be, but i think it would be best to ask before in a weird curcumstance he go medievil on my bottom :D ).

And ozpat bedankt man, er zijn maar weinig sisters fans in nl, i salute you
(translation: there are only a very few sisters fans in holland)
