Sisters play Suikerrock !!!

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.

No I won't be at suikerrock. I'll see the Fields at the gothic festival. I've seen the Sisters too much, i'm very disappointed. Thnks for the good old days to spencer, dave, robbie, sven,wim,...
Someone has to stop idealising Andrew, isn't that right? I'm bored with the sound and always the same setlist from the last years even if i'm drunk .....
A very very disappointed long time fan.
PS When the Fields are playing in Waregem, i'll think of all of you

Hi there Floyd. Enjoy the Fields in Waregem! Talking about your good old days...dave, (have you heard from him recently by any chance?) i don't think he roams these parts nor does robbie. But both can be found somewhere else if you want to pass on your message...oh spencer is there in that place too...
Andrew is just but man but still delightful to some of us! :wink:

Welcome....

Though I like those Fields as well, to me they don't even come close to the Girls. So I don't see a point in stopping me and others to idealise Andrew. I am a fan! Not a disappointed one though the past and the future should have been written different from the current story. Shame, even big but no more. I am not blind nor deaf but this is my band! They gave me a lot, are still doing that and always will do that thing to me.
So you enjoy Waregem; I will certainly enjoy Tienen and without any offense meant; I think of you not! :wink:

disappointment through lack of enthusiasm and s**t sound is better than disappointment through a geek that shouts: 'everyboooody happy??? YEAH!' (thinking of all these donkeys at Pinkpop last weekend). The Sisters are true rock n roll; sometimes bad, sometimes good but never the same oiled machine.

There's more to choose than the choise between "a lame band that never makes records" and the "is everybody happy" band.

There's a load of bands worth following. Bands with great sound that bring out records more than occasionally, with lots of enthousiasm for their own music and towards the fans...

Don't ask me for examples though ... :oops:

Nice find Diego! Now we know what we need to get Von to play that garden party... :wink:

By now it's also official that the slot right before the Sisters will be reserved for The Scabs. They were big in Belgium once, but I doubt too many of you know about them.

I believe something like this will be the order of the day: Arf BBQ -> Scabs -> Sisters -> crash & burn ;D

The Scabs?

Always reminds me of the picture/comic back in the days in Deng where everyone (including the bushmen or whatever it were) wanted him to sing Hard Times :lol:

Yeah, heard them perform that one on Rock Werchter back in the days. Guess it was 1992. Enjoyed it....

I'm leaving London via the tunnel on the 25th. Crumpets and crack pipes on the orient express. I plan to stay awake for quite a while and make no further plans
