The Arrogance Of Mercy

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.

Hi there,


Just a quick thought. I am really sick and tired of our chairman's behaviour. There is more than one album's full of material out there... yet there is still no release. The statement of mr. Pearson about not having his songs released doen't make any sense to me either. This is what pays for your bloody rent and stuff mate! As we all know Andrew Eldritch doesn't only get his money from selling cd's but also from the selling of bootlegs and obscure items on forums like Ebay. The only genuine person within this band is Chris Starling/Sheehan. Ofter ridiculed as he is only the man who "adds" to what is being played. I for one think that Chris is one hell of a contributing factor of what it is that makes you *still* have crowded halls attending. Von........ If you are thinking about making it back to the A-class... you'd better think about "us"as well..... as you have said before.. there is a difference between "us and them"... it is about time you start treating your hardcore fan base as "us' rather as "them".. cous no matter hos f**king harsh it may seem .. if it weren't for the harcdore "us".. you would have NO persisting fan base at all.........As for the new album....... I mean. come on.. most of it is finished as it is.... just f**king release it... don't get stuck just wanting to get a 1 million quid deal...........


Cheers,


Paul

hi :)

just a thought: i'd be careful to make very clear which chairman it is that you mean... remember which idiot wields the power on this forum (wherever he is!) ;) ;D

:innocent: :lol:

in response to the part of your post about adam, i think most of it has been covered on the "leave adam alone" thread :)

about the rest of it? i have mixed feelings...i can see valid points in both sides of the arguement. :?

personally, i would just like some new product sooner rather than later! not too bothered about whys and wherefores, just gimme something (fast). as it were. :|

I have a fantastic idea?

Perhaps someone with the knowledge, time, experience and more importantly decent versions of all the "New Songs" could put together a complation of all the tracks, in order, to be weeded to "Us" and not "Them" :-)

I would pay good money to see his face :von: when he finds out that a 'live' version of the new album has already been released by the fans! HaHaHaHaHa ..! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Just goes to show - there's such a thing as the laws of supply and demand, and unfortunately in this particular case, while the demand sure is there, the supply just ain't. So those who want product will simply find other ways. If Von doesn't like his new songs being bootlegged, it's way past time for him to do the obvious thing about it. Otherwise I would say put up and shut up.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I've been to quite a lot of shows, and I probably have most (maybe) all of the new material. So no probs there, it has a kind of "insider-feel" to it.
I don't really expect an official release but, as I said, it would be nice ...

I'd be willing to give it a shot. It's just that bastard pearson standing in our way (joke before anyone flames me).

If we ask nicely he might give us something else, while we're waiting...... :D

It was my assumption that they're one and the same.
