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.
When the beegees best of record came out- sales were pretty standard for a beegees record- it was only in the 2 days following Morris Gibbs death that record sales really went up and the stores actually ran out of the cd
My question is this:
why did those people have to wait till he was dead before they thought "hey, i like beegees, might buy a record". Why does this happen when dead rockstars die?? Do they think that its going to be a rare cd even though its gone like triple platinum or something?
or is it a conspiracy to bring him back from the dead?
i think its that the general public are stupid, fickle and have very bad memories...
when a star dies the radio and tv always start playing their stuff again, the public get a reminder of *that* song they thought they liked from years ago, which just so happens to coincide with a greatest hits lp release!

yup, they had him put down.
the brothers knew they were past their sell-by-dates and so they all drew straws to see which one would die, in order that their surviving brothers would benefit financially from the increased sales of their greatest hits album.

Hmm, I'm not sure that's QUITE what Quiffy was suggesting, though I shan't put words in his mouth...I think the point to note is that the record was already out when said Manx whiner snuffed it...Yes, it certainly helps sales, but I think we can probably rule out murder by the record company, or selfless suicide to help his brothers' bank balances...

Tell me about it, Im a huge Micheal Hutchence / INXS fan who got the p*ss taken out of me royally until he died and then oooh suddenly evryone thought they were great ............. :evil
There aren't any hard and fast rules here - Ian Curtis - god. Jim Morrison - fat idiot, wrote poor sixth-form poetry. Kurt Cobain - wrote one or two good songs, and pinched a great one from Killing Joke. Michael Hutchence - are you joking? See Jim Morrison. His only achievement was the corruption of Kylie.

The music to 'Come As You Are'. From the Killing Joke song 'Eighties'. One of the most blatant rip-offs in the history of rock, and Nirvana had the cheek to pretend they'd never heard of KJ. Until, as I understand it, KJ produced Christmas cards from Kurt. Kind of dented any confidence I might have had in his integrity. Which wasn't much anyway, to be honest. Genius = screwed up perhaps, but screwed up = genius doesn't work.

Shame really, knowing that nirvana didnt have that as their original idea. when i was into the grunge stuff a few years ago it was better then that bloody smells like teen spirit

"Are you joking" - no I dont think she is. INXS are still a great band, but Michael was the driving force. Though of course he may not seem as "worthy" as Ian Curtis ................
