What a surprise that you would say something like that._emma_ wrote:I'm online just briefly at a friend's laptop, so let me take this opportunity to say that I think Eldritch is God. Byeeee now.
As for posing with someone for pics.......that's pretty likely to be me.Mr. Wah wrote:My first Sisters gig since Exxile on Euphoria and they did not disappoint. Andrew was in good voice, although (was it just me?) he sounded louder in the mix in the first few songs. Perhaps his voice just got a bit tired as the set went on. In any case, his voice sounded in good shape and he even made a pretty good job of Flood II. Ben and Chris were very tight.
The 'new' tracks referred to by others were nothing remarkable, although it was nice to hear something different. The new arrangement of More is quite short but, still, it rocks, as indeed it should.
For those interested... the cupcakes were okay although rather too solid and I think I detected a strong hint of cinnamon, of which I am not a great fan.
Yes, someone did something to one of the cupcake girls which caused him to be removed from the building. I didn't see exactly what happened.
I decided to stay for another beer or two after the gig and got talking to one of the older people in the room. I was curious to know when he'd first seen the Sisters and what he made of the night's show. We'd been chatting for a while and then Mr Catalyst turned up and started talking to him. I must have been drunk because I still didn't put two and two together ... it turned out I'd been talking to Chris's dad. Anyway, he introduced me to Chris who (also) seemed like a thoroughly nice fellow.
Then Andrew made an appearance. Walked straight past me at the bar and headed to the other side of the room to pose for pictures with someone and to spend some time with the DJ (Claire). It was the first time I've seen him up close and, as has been said many times before, he is a lot smaller than one might imagine. Still, he undoubtedly has real presence and charisma.
A great night out. I look forward to hearing about tonight's gig and the European dates.
I must say I was kinda amazed about just how much time he was willing to spend having pics taken. I am WELL chuffed. I will definitely have a couple of those framed.

when he was near Ben looking down and the two red floor lights shone onto his glasses making him look like he had lazer eyes. Would've been ace.
Well...there was the poster. When I hit my travelodge the people who got back just before me said "Quick, we can still steal it and get it on ebay!" It's really hard to hide a poster.CyberAndy wrote:We had a GREAT time both nights. I thought they were EXCELLENT
My friend who came with me hadn't seen them for YEARS, had heard all the bad stuff about them live - and was amazed how good they were
She thought 2nd night was best ; I enjoyed both equally.
Really good meeting people ; impressive how many seemed to have travelled from Germany, Belgium etc.
Wish I was going to some of the European dates ...
AMAZING there was NO XXX Merch !!!!!!!!!!
I liked the selection (mixing skillz tend to bypass me), it wasn't overly imaginative in that it leaned towards the bigger hits by bands that tend to get lumped in with the Sisterspanzerfaust wrote:anyone can supply more details bout Claire's djing? selection? mixing skillz? etc?
and it was, especially vision thing was a monster.

Indeed it surprises me to. Every time I see him it just blows me away how absolutely wonderful he is.Back in time wrote:What a surprise that you would say something like that._emma_ wrote:I'm online just briefly at a friend's laptop, so let me take this opportunity to say that I think Eldritch is God.
