Ways to coax new original songs from Eldritch...

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.

Naaah, sorry - they tried that once. Didn't work out so well - turns out the bass player had a pie-and-donut fixation, couldn't play, and spent all her time cutting the fingers off her gloves and back-combing. :lol:

Actualy that could be me, apart from the addiction is choc hobnobs, but to be honest i wouldnt mind bumping in to that ex bassist down a dark alley, i give her a choc hobnobbing !!!!!
I bet she still looks good in ribbons !!!

I like this.
They actually exist. ;)


In honour of dear old Spiggy:


Well I got green eyes
I'm so tough
I knocked over over over over
All your stuff
I pissed, I pissed the carpet
I climbed the curtain
I scratched your neck
Now you're hurtin'
And I say "meow..."
And for the final bit:
And I said: "Next time you'll clean my box or,
Next time, the carpet
If you don't clean my box I'll
p*ss the carpet!"

Has there been any concerted attempt on Heartland yet to petition/lobby major record companies to throw money at the Sisters?

I don't know if there's enough of us to make any of them listen, and I don't really know enough about what Eldritch is holding out for in terms of a deal - if anything - but since neither he or we are getting any younger, an avalanche of letters or emails to Polydor or Geffen or whoever probably can't hurt the chances of us seeing another album in our lifetimes. What do you other HLanders think?

Record affairs are the band's own business ... unless you have an offer at hand they might not be able to reject ... :lol: ...

You vastly over-estimate our numbers and consequent market influence, I think.

Yeah. If you look at the board stats a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that a third of all posts on HL are from the ten most active users...

Telling people Von's a wee bit more gay than Rob Halford or the latter's a wee bit more straight than the first, thus making the man pop out creatively while struck by genuine g**th outburts of rage as a consequence of my rather poignant advice.

1. tell people Von's gay to get him out of his actual lair (meaning this one below) and have him come across Meatball's (Meatloaf's, sorry a little typo) brotha Mr. JIM SPIELBERG (STEINMAN, sorry again, isn't it a bit strange typos are chafing against me on a day like this?)

Image

2. kidnap Claire and demand bunloads of brand new songs (with a trifle more cowbell of course to spice up things a little) as an appropriate ransom or Von ye sucker will end up like this
Image

3. drop a few bombs in heaven and unchain spiggy from the shackles of the hideous spell that has him bound hand and feet up there ya know in the great gig in the sky, get the furry thing to the mastahh's bosom so that the mastahh may be brought down to tears and hopefully write a couple of classic tunes to kick some stenching arses all the way back this thread. It most likely ends up like this.
