the sisters do dior?

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.

Hey, what "bunch of" films I need to know. At the moment I only recall "Gegen Die Wand" (which was a great film and the choice of that particular song in a film about that particular face of Hamburg was spot-on in my opinion). As for this Dior website, I think it's a bit less spot-on but still not bad at all. And I still maintain what I came up with about 20 years ago: :von: should take part in some beautiful, artistic advertising campaign of some exquisite alcoholic beverage or parfume. I doubt it ever happens but it would be great.

It's just advertising-one firm uses a band and then everybody starts using the same-for a while it seemed like "Lust for Life" was constantly on the telly.

The only time I ever heard The Sisters on film was in Rainman-the Tom Cruise/Dustin Hoffman film.

Kind of a strange pairing but I give Dior some credit for picking such an awesome song :)

:von: was never per se opposed to Sister's songs appearing in adverts, films etc (except Crow type ones obviously). There's a difference between writing something for money and getting paid for the use of one of your songs. Nick Cave, I think regreted writing a song for the Batman (if i remember rightly) film, purely because it bought him a house.

And as for the latter - fortunately so ... it didn't get Iggy Pop much further appearing in such films ...

with the slight difference that he's always had an option in The Stooges ...
having jumped on the goth train slightly late, anyway ...

I would not call it an 80's band either. Not only because of Vision Thing of which More was launced into commercial charts but you as a Belgian should now
that the Sisters reached their widest audience in Belgium because of TOL 92 which got a high chart position in several countries next to Belgium. Inspite (or should I say because) of that, the song was no part of the setlist at the PP 92
gig. The Inglese did not play Temple Of Love. :D

I know the song finds it's origin in the 80's but it certainly did not sound like it in the 90's. :P

:notworthy: :D :notworthy: word for word, sister :notworthy: :D :notworthy:


I do think it's cool Dior uses The Sisters music. And I don't think it's a 'hey this songs sounds familiar and it's cheap too' kind of thing for them.
They (the Dior peepz) probably love the Sisters' cool and feel the music fits perfectly with their concept & vision :wink:
I know more Fashion people that adore the Sisters more than just a little...
It's a bit like Bowie, also very populair in those circles...

Oh, and in my opinion they very much are an old B-klass band! But there is no other like them and they're obviously way more interesting than the A-listers! 8) :notworthy:

I had no idea Sisters songs were in that many films. I should watch Showgirls for that reason! But I don't want to watch Rain Man again. Anyone please tell me in which scene there's Sisters, and why, so I don't have to watch :urff:

This is a bit OT but Hollylicious you've got a nice avatar there ;D

I have to correct myself ... what I had remembered to be GQ was in fact the Austrian magazine EGO which exisited only from 1991 'til 1995 ...
I've still got this article somewhere ... as soon as I've found it, I'll upload it to the gallery - it is however in German ...

Danke, Herr Administrator! :wink:

Yes, it is a hilarious Japanese newspaper serial novel from 1905.

Just another thought on topic. Maybe girls and guys view this differently. I love Dior make-up and fragrances (and I might love their other stuff too if I could afford to try it). So Sisters + Dior to me feels like a sexy combination.
(sorry if that sounds wacky :oops: )
I would probably find it too commercial, like sellout etc., if it were H+M or Coke or something like that. I buy my shirts at H+M, but there's nothing interesting about them.

^I'll have to look into that novel! I'm fascinated with all Japanese & Asian things. May even get an Asian inspired tatt. when I'm in London June :D
H&M is my fav clothing store too but we dun have one here. Only the Mainlands :(

Back on topic..would like to see Gucci use a Sisters tune for one of their shows. Not up on the whole fashion industry but I like some of Gucci's line.
