The Look OF Eldritch

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.

I know there has been polls on which line-up has been the most popular but I was thinking about the 'image/looks' he has had over the years, from Cape & Hat to his most recent 'Chrome' look, and wondered what has been the most popular within this forum.

I can't figure out how to post pics :oops: (Scotty?) so I will describe my fav look as being he 'Greasy greebo leather look just before Hussey joined. Long lank hair, beard and mirror shades.

Anyone else have their fav?

As opposed to his "faux raver with cancer" look.

The 'now you see him now you don't' look when he's stood on a stage a few feet away, obliterated by fog and retina-fcuking lights, giving it his all. :von:

Otherwise the Dominion look, obviously. 8) :notworthy:

my favourites are post-punk from 1983 and Gothic Overlord from 1987
but the current image is fun - Andrew almost says: "Ha-ha, sod off", looking this one - :von:
though i'd prefer him to wear a hair - just an army haircut, something like 1993

The "Dominion" look was good fun. :D

Also partial to the Amish-axe-murderer look from the Sisterhood era. :lol:

Any time he's wearing a novelty coat - the gold lame dressing gown, the Red Cross orange thing etc. The Technicolour Dream Coat from Porto in 2001 was a definite winner :notworthy:

Worst look ever - cnuting M*nc Utd scarf tied round his waist :evil:

Well in my case it depends on the levels of hormones on a given day. His various looks fit respective levels. Madonna is better at it though, as she also has the looks that fit the transitions.
