What got you into the Sisters then?

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.

Just checked the track listing on Amazon and have seen it is going for fifty pounds :x
Why it has Reward by Teardrop Explodes on I will never know- but its still a great tune :notworthy:
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria

Well, had it not been that, the lovely Miss Sinny would have attracted you to the band anyway. ;D

Ah, I know which photo you're talking about! It's groovy indeed! 8) I think I actually saved it on my PC a while ago without having an idea who "SINsister" was.
Back on topic:
I got a crush on the band's singer when I was 14. Now I'm 31 and still having the crush. :? :lol:

Here you go, kiddies... :P :oops:

This apparently-infamous (? :lol:) pic was taken in the summer of '99 in a creepy warehouse area in downtown Los Angeles, by Fred H. Berger of Propaganda Magazine; photo manipulation by yours truly.

You're welcome. ;) ;D

Looks a bit like a rockier version of Marcella Detroit, if you don't mind.
Very cool picture. 8)

I doesn't exist in color, I'm afraid, Rob - it was taken using b&w film. Feel free to colorize it as you see fit, though, if you're so inclined. I'd be flattered! ;D ;) :twisted:

Sadly, I dunno what's become of the original print, and I've no scanner anymore, anyway - sorry, man. :(
