Is Von a rich man?

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 was wondering whether Von is a rich man. How much money do you think he can earn by touring? I'm especially interested in the profit for last year's tour? (Sisters bite the silver bullet).

What kind of house does he live in?
Which car does he drive?

On what does he spend his money...

Okay, I get it. So Von likes nice, white powdery things... :lol:

But seriously, how much do you think he earned from the last tour?

I heard somewhere that he likes to buy first-edition philosophy books or something like that...

He might be rich, I don't know how much money he was given for each show of the Silver Bullet, but I know that for a single gig it is around 40 000 euros ...
I think that he won't stop touring because this is the only way he can earn very fast a big amount of money.

'ndeed.

Sorry for us, but Von doesn't care about music business anymore. Do you expect him sending an application form to the local Schlecker? No, this is the only way for him to pay the drugs and his gasolene.

All I remember is an interesting debate near the beginning of the tour on how much he got from one show. When you take into account all the expenditures, it's not that much. We're definitely not talking Michael Jackson money here. Hence the very long tour I guess. That and the will to prove the world that the Sisters were still alive and kicking. :twisted:

Nice title for this thread. My internal jukebox now has Von singing If I Were A Rich Man...

Sounds quite good.

He has 364,000 in the bank.
He owns his own flat.
He drives an 4 year old Ford Mondeo.
He smokes a packet of cigarettes a day.
He buys a newspaper when he goes for his cigarettes, usually the mirror because he likes the "wicked whispers" section.
He sometimes wears his white dominion suit to the shops.
He has eight pairs of sunglasses.
He's a member of the local chess club.

You'll be able to sleep better now.

Clearly not enough detail for a Sisiters forum.

Where's the flat?
What's the milage/Colour of the Mondeo?
What brand of tabs?
Where can I buy the same white suit?
Can a white suit be considered goth?
Give me one good reason

Seriously? I always thought it was the local cheese club.

Cue another round of cheesy Sisters song title puns. I'll open with You Could Brie The One.

Anyway, as this is hardly on-topic for Sisters Chat any longer, *zap* into General.
