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.
Being that Heartland is a known entity, is it not possible for us to compose a list of good questions for Andrew that we could maybe get him to agree to answer if we then got in touch with the Reptile House etc? Has anyone tried this? Maybe the recent sunshine has left me feeling too optimistic, if so I shall go back to shutting myself in a darkened room and being a pessimist again
Love, is a many splintered thing - Pass the sandpaper I'm goin in.
we (the mod team and myself) have toyed with the idea of requesting a HL interview a few of times, but we usually decide not to bother
my own personal feeling is that
a) collating questions from various members would likely mean an incoherent interview
b) what could we ask that hasn't been asked a thousand times
c) what could he tell us that he hasn't said a thousand times
which is why we have pursued a policy of getting interviews with other band members.... especially the ones have usually been less vocal that andrew (ie: gary marx, tony james, andreas bruhn) - they tend to have far more interesting stories to tell
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
This has been done in other forums, the Litany forum (Skinny Puppy) did such an interview with Ogre wich was really good, on the other hand he's a much more interactive person than Andrew...
...I’ve never had the desire to make a record unless I have something to say...

1) a band one - about the sisters, their current & future activities etc
to be honest, all this has been said in a couple of dozen articles and videos on the recent tour (all hail chris catalyst )
2) personal one - about "andrew the man"
which as debi suggests, i doubt he'd actually answer.
I´ll take number 2..
i'd probably go for (1) - partly because we'd be more likely to get some decent answers from him with those kind of questions, and partly because i'm more interested in what the band is up to rather than what daytime television programmes watches while stuffing his face with pot noodle

Yay!! We´ve got it! Let´s start!

hm. option 1) would mean going over the same old same old - we aint gonna get any new revelations now and the answer everyone wants is not going to be answered as lets face it is semi retired
and b) well - yup, Main Man - you hit the nail on the head - 's a bloke. Which means he hogs the TV remote, has selective hearing and is either a bum or tits man. or both. which isn't very mysterious. at all. which is probably why he doesn't want to talk about himself and wanders off onto things like atom bombs or such like
I think that would never answer to some extreme personal questions (like "are you still on amphetamine?" or "how many girls have you slept with in Berlin?" or "could you still sing as loud as you did it in the past?" ), and I agree that he couldn't tell us something that he hasn't said a thousand (or maybe a million) times before.
So let him think about the new album...
Girls in crisis, ultra-hipped
Weird as Isis, wide as Egypt

...who would ask something like that?? Na, not interesting at all..I would ask, if he had an photo of himself just got out of bed..

No one, I hope. But he has been asked for every (really) interesting thing, so If you want to ask him something new you have to ask questions like these...
...or like this:
