Sorry to bring this up once again....

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.

...but I just stumbled upon that picture. I had only seen a smaller version, where i hadn't realized that this photo had the Sisters
-posing on a gravestone
-in a cemetary
-in autumn
-with Von wearing what looks suspiciously like a.......cape...:eek: ;D ;D

...this is the gothest picture I have seen in ages ;D ....well it's actually quite beautiful, I must admit. :innocent:
I remember some interview that had Von vehemently denying ever having worn a cape...

This is one fine display of all of the typical 80's different shapes of shades indeed.
Different Shapes of Shades, now that would be a great name for a band doing deathrock versions os Scooter songs.... ;D ;D

I totally like the cute little nose Von has in your picture......(edit : the 1st) :oops: aaaaaaand that's it for tonight.

Your second pic clearly shows a jacket, sure. But look at the first pic again - it's not the same garment. The neck/"lapels" are huge, and whatever it is (:innocent:) hangs down below everything else :von:'s wearing, fanning out and revealing its striped lining...

I think it's a cape or cape/coat in the first pic.
Cheers.

It's not really a graveyard either; it's the field at the back of the Henry Price flats just on the edge of the university campus by the looks. St George's fields I think? The bit in the corner presumably used to be a graveyard but it's just a corner of a big open space now.
Very little of what you believe to be true is actually the case.

Sorry.

Is this what we've been reduced to? Arguing over whether he's wearing a cape or a jaiket! :roll: ;D :|

We need another tour and/or a new album, in fact any news at all please! :(

But nice try on changing the subject. :twisted:
