Smart career move or oblivion?

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.

1 October 1990 and Melody Maker reveals that AE has died, shortly before the release of third album Vision Thing. Apparently he fell into a vat of methadrine (at least he went happy). Fast-forward 13 years and he is

a legend on a par with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and other stars who drowned in their own vomit when they should have done the backstroke?

I think this may make me the most unpopular poster on the board. I shall now hastily include a disclaiming smiley: :eek:

PS: long life and happiness to AE, obv...

Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Shesh. Ian Astbury's headband is in the lead. How vile.

Speaking of IA, has anyone seen that complete cult trying to do his Jim Morrison bit with the remains of the doors? It sounds such an entirely ghastly idea I couldn't bear the thought of going. :urff:

Amongst The Cult fans it's popular gig and supposed to be very good.

Cheers Angel, I heard he sang all the songs in the movie, but not on the OST. Anyone able to confirm this :?:

Given the timing you've presented I've got to go for completely forgetten.
Now, had he snuffed it round about the release of FALAA I reckon Hussey and Adams would have high jacked the Sisters, Marx would still have been out, and Von would be a kind of legendary Bon Scott figure. :eek:
Worst still - no Floodland!

Had he pegged it after A Slight Case Of Overbombing, then we might be seeing the Jim Morrison type thing.

Hey, if Tupac can put out six albums and three movies postmortem, I for one think AE has no excuse. Last night I told a friend that I had seen the Sisters live last April, and her only question was, "Are they still around?" And she's Anglo. Humph.
