Before you start throwing insults at our friends, I would suggest you read a few threads & then make your judgment.
But, it seems you prefer to be a FUD (s'cuse JB for borrowing "the" word).
Or.....?
(btw if you had read some stuff, you'd know what a FUD is).
Seriously. Come & talk to these odd balls & you might find it isn't boring after all.

I'd like to think that if Von were going to troll us, he'd be more clever about it.

Or are you suggesting that the history of the band since the late 90's has been one big meta-troll of the fanbase?

I'm not so worried about the line up, but yes, the material is what it's all about. If I ever go to see the sisters, I don't want to listen to any of the stuff released after FALAA.
imo bit cheeky keeping the sisters name going, eldritch should have done the decent thing and carried on as the sisterhood.

Dude that's a bit much, maybe he should have kept on as The Sisterhood, granted, but not interested in the post-FALAA material? That's harsh.

I totally agree with Jürgen and yes I can state that I have seen them lately, like a few months ago and in 2007, 2006, 2005 and further back.stufarq wrote:You haven't seen them live lately, have you?eotunun wrote:So after quiting, enjoy some aged stars impersonating their past self while we enjoy the still living and pulsating machine that's The Sisters of Mercy.

Every boot I've heard in the last ten years has been absolutely bloody awful. The voice is shot, and it has an American twang; the bass is too mechanical; the guitars use heavy metal fuzzboxes and now they even use bloody whammy bars.
They are not MY Sisters. I hope you enjoy yours.
Tobe honest, a reuninion would drag me out for curiosity... give Wayne his dues, he can still do a live show.. But I wouldn't expect much from everyone else.

For every 1 Sisters Of Mercy show played in reach of my bad self sinse I've been gigging there have been 5 m*****n shows - each better than the last, and the first of which better than the Sisters one. Which left me with a bitter taste in my mouth - as far as I'm concerned no band with only 3 studio albums should completly overlook one of them (in many people's view, the seminal one).
I'll go to the shows on the next tour, unlike many I have faith - I got a bad show and then none after to ease the pain, but it'll happen and when it does I'm ready to rock.
But this is fast becoming a "are the current sisters nothing but a bad tribute act" thread, and we've done that to bleeding death. (IMO, no they are not - I respect the dedication to keeping the faith, despite all the odds, and I'll be at every date of the next UK tour until my I reap the reward of a life changing gig).

Do enjoy the stuff you have from the 80's era till Wake. It truly is great!
You just don't like what it is these days. No problem, but everybody knows what to expect these days. All the dislikes have been said again and again. It builds up every once in a while (like a US tour).
Keep busy living.

How about Eldritch/Marx/Gunn/Adams/Avalanche, anyone? Forget Wayne, he wrote a few decent songs and played guitar well enough, but he wasn't really a Sister, if you know what I mean. Although the current line-up seems close enough too...
sorry, but Wayne gave to the Sisters sound what Marx/Gunn couldn't together

I think a reunion would be a waste of time because Eldritch has lost it. He demonstrates that with every new tour; I'm quite sure Hussey could hold his own.
But the big question about a reunion is this:
WILL HUSSEY BE REQUIRED TO SHAVE HIS HEAD TO MATCH THE OTHER 3 BALDIES?

chalk and cheese, the SOM 'entity' pre/post split, and I would rather listen to serpents kiss than this corrosion, did so then, do so now.
being a newb, hadn't realised it had been done to death. I shall do some more research.
