Andrew Eldritch throwing cigarettes.

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 just had a laugh watching footage of Andrew Eldritch having a cigarette fight with a disgruntled crowd. I can't understand much of what is being said, but it sounds as if Von was winding up the presenter via relenting to speak German (the interview at one point begs him to speak German in English), so is it possible for one of the more fluent German speakers here to translate and tell me what's going on exactly?

There's also a Dutch interview here and a German interview here (from 1984) that I have never seen before and thought people here may be interested in.

But never take Deutsch for Dutch. Dutch is what the silly Dutchmen do in The Netherlands.

Dinky, you forgot this one! :roll: Untergewicht wrote "Part 3" on it! :wink:
A very nice find, especially as we get Andrews bank link (Commerzbank Reeperbahn, ask for Mrs. Bremer (I just took a look for a link to them, they´ve shut down! :eek: Too much Rock´n`Roll going on around them?))

I guess the interviewer from the first link was what started Andrews very special handling techniques for the audience (Quote: "Shut up!").
Only that this interviewer blerk was very serious about that.. :lol: (Which probably was what made the audience throw stuff onto the stage)

I shall dedicate to try and type out the three links. Trainspotting at it´s worst, yes, but someone´s got to do it.
(Forum:"Get a life!" Me:"Can´t afford one" F:"Fine, then get typing!")
That may take some time, though.

The presenter was begging the audience to be quiet. But they rather didnt care and screamed for The Residents who have been on before. :lol:

what an embarrassing little oddity.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Eldritch, although looking somewhat nervous, seemed to be enjoying it though. I love the cheeky smirk he gets that is now dinky daisy's avatar.

@Little_Sister, thanks for the translation. :D :notworthy: :D

Yupp. Andrew apparently loves the members of the bavarian CSU for their sensible scepticism of social engagement.
You may imagine the political conditions down there at Bavaria as a mix of a comedy version of 1920´s Chicago and today´s Disneyworld.
