Happy 50th Von

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.

Please, is there someone out there who can tell me, that this person on the right side on this photo is not Mr. Andrew Eldritch?
If he is, it would be sometimes better, never to give up the masks... :eek:

Now I know, there must be a god out there who still means it good with me to hold my dreams and not to destroy them.
I was really shocked, as I saw that photo on a polish dm-forum.
Really, you made my day to say, he's not AE :von:

You're welcome, I'm sure. :)

The most recent non-performance photos can be found here.

There haven't been any sans lenses in...well, a very long time. Best you can do is this, and fast-forward 25 years...taking into account a lot of mileage. (Let's just say I've studied recent concert profile close-ups...a bit. :oops: )

Can you provide a link to your brain, please? :wink:

No, wait, you mean this one, don't you?

Since it isn't a very clear snap, I didn't think to mention it...
