No more NIN

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

For the past year or so, I've become a much bigger fan of Placebo than of TSOM. :|
At least we're getting a new Placebo album this year.
I get less keen on Placebo as the years pass- its been decreasing returns since Black Market Music though they rtemain great live.

Regarding NIN I must state that I adore Fixed and Pretty Hate Machine but was left bored by Year Zero. Can't remember much about Downward Spiral though I have it. Should I dig it out? :?

artificially stimulated, with a lot of bluster and 'show', but a real lack of any genuine passion to the performance?

yeah, that's what i thought last time i saw them.

You are all diseased and talking about some or other Sisters gig, FACT! :evil:

Last time Trent passed the Ancienne Belgique here was fecking awesome, such power, such energy... bloody nice lighting, sublime sound, talking with the audience...

Unlike other bands.

Nobody prefer the Swans? Loudest band in the World or acoustic versions? Burning world anyone? Saved, the song Mr Cash should've covered. White light from the Mouth of Infinity? No? On a serious point maybe the route Michael Gira took would've been the way for :von: to go. Young God records seem to be doing alright. And the Angels of Light are damn fine act. After all a name is just a name. Essentially we're waiting on something from Mr E, whether its under the Sisters banner or not. Would be a shame to kill the name though. Maybe the Sisters something else... ;D

oh dear, what a shame, how sad.
minnistry wiped the floor with them IMO. with equally boring drug habits. and it's not really on to even mention them in the same breath as the sisters; even if they are dead and gone.

death to false metal. :von:

:D :D :D Oh well whoreally cares anyway who puts out more than others because at least the Sisters are not trying or any where near trying to become corporate sluts like the rest of these groups (not saying who)> anyone can listen to the above mentioned and feel all knowing but for those of us that hold the Sisters close the way they move is very commendable indeed. If your a NIN fan and don't know who the Sisters are or evn care then you've deprived yourself. I'm sure the bands mentioned have a heart for the Sisters like we all do. No? Well I do!!! Enjoy it for as long as you can.

I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while.
Permanent would be preferable personally.

Janes didn't implode on Lolla, it was they're farwell tour. Perry said he was breaking up the band because he didn't like how popular they become and the people listening to them.
End of line.
