A new tour in the making?

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.

Man, I wish the Sisters would play in North America more than once or twice a decade... I understand Von has a "hate-hate" relationship with the U.S. (which I don't blame), but give us some love... :(

I'm right on the border with Canada- I can see Canada out my back window. Toronto's not that far, and I've missed 'em the past two times they've been through for various stupid reasons. That's not the US. surely Von can find it in his heart to play there one more time? :cry:

Buffalo, New York, right on the lake. Toronto's about a two hour drive if the traffic on the QEW is bad.

Though I'm skint, I'm still willing to bet that there won't be any gigs over here (on the wrong side of The Pond, that is) - so no worries there, for me. Ho-hum. :| :roll:

Never say never, sh*t I just said never twice! - Damn it that's three times! I have a sense of humor. Overbombing 2 was a joke. Besides I'd like to see at least 3 more original albums before another greatest hits CD.

Well, generally hits need to be had before they can even be considered "great".

Yes, I always buy the t-shirt as well MB.

And 'hits' and 'great' are very subjective. It all depends on your perception, and how marginal it is or is not.

You could base that on how many CDs sold, therefore on how many times 'gold' or 'platinum' an LP 'goes'.

But seriously, based on those standards, there should have never been a Vol. 1.

Obviously a joke, yet I think it would be just as funny for a Vol. 2 to be released.

All the Pearson written music would be a great Vol. 2.

We've all heard them long enough, they are certainly old enough to be on a Greatest Hits compilation. In the end isn't that why artists release singles compilations and such? It doesn't matter really how successful the songs were. In this case it wouldn't even matter that they weren't previously released. It would be a gimmick with all the new fans and the press and a nod to all of us who have already heard them, obviously at a concert or otherwise.

There shouldn't have been a "Greatest Hits" compilation, no. It was a "singles and extra tracks we want" compilation.

Yes, pleased I would be also. If they came to the the Far West I'd be ecstatic.

Still,
if it makes you happy.

One thing I know is,
I want more.
