Interesting article on g*th culture

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.

Heyas
I was just looking for some old review I once saw, some kind of "what hasn't been told" from the 80's alternative scene, and came across this article:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2006/sep/29/popandrock

It's rubbish but there are some curious moments, anyways, just sharing with fellow heartlanders :)


By the way, does anyone know/knows where to find this other article? I can't remember much of it, but I do remember one passage where the author said "Peter Murphy wasn't much into to drug, but there was definately something wrong with him." Or something along those lines...

The Sisters Of Mercy: Amphetamine Logic

This stark, driving track defines the Sisters' oeuvre and sums up Andrew Eldritch's cod-vampiric lifestyle: "Nothing but the knife to live for."

I know! Erm, the clue is in the title...

Cod vampiric. :roll:

What does that even mean? I assumed it was some sort of British colloquialism ("cod-vampiric" that is). Judging by the reaction I'm guessing it's not, and I'm now imagining vampiric fish.

Looks more like Dave Vanian to me.
