Okay so two days ago we headed to Cologne to see Seventh Void and A Pale Horse Named Death play together at the Underground club. For those who don't know, both of these bands feature members of Type O. Now as expected a lot of TON fans came out to see the boys and we started talking about the Sisters with some. Anyways apparently there should have been some "ghost tour" around 1994 where TON toured with the Sisters. We heard this too late to ask Kenny or Sal but if I can I will try to find out more tonight as we head to Eindhoven for the last gig of the tour.
Does anyone have any idea about this?
The Sisters touring with Type O?

The Sisters of Mercy did some Superbang Festivals in Germany
with The Ramones, Monster Magnet, Type O Negative, and La Costa Rasa ...

Oh yes, there had been quite some rumour about one of the gigs ...

oh yes that story I know, Peter mentioned it a couple of times in interviews I just didn't know it was the one where the Sisters also played.
just look at the lyrics from the Bloddy Kisses album:
"We Hate Everyone
Right-wing commies.
Leftist Nazis.
Point their fingers.
Rumours linger.
We don't care what you think.
We don't care what you think.
Branded sexist.
Labelled racist.
Want it clearer?
Check the mirror.

Lies and slander in vain try to shame us.
Riots, protests, violence just makes us famous.
TV interviews, free publicity.
Increase record sales dramatically
The left they say I'm a facist.
The right calling me a communist.
Hate hate hate hatred for all - one and all.
No matter what you believe.
Don't believe in you - and that's true.
Yeah.
We hate everyone
We hate everyone.
Some would say that we're biased.
Accusations that we are racist.
Well, s**t comes in all hues.
Now this means you.
'cause things ain't always like they seem.

anyways there was enough stuff on Slow Deep and Hard (like Der Untermensch) to freak people out and the result was the bombthreaths and such.

Oh yes, I think it's difficult to judge where a band or anyone really stand from a few things they say or release ... some reality might show if one is more into it - in a way and/or with time.
But regards TON I am not. And I couldn't tell, for I'm clearly not so deeply into any kind of, ehm, metal, is it? ...

Smart move by TON management to get them onto this tour just when their sound had veered away from thrash to psychedelic g*th metal. One could understand the Sisters being a little distant at that time with a band so clearly influenced by them, although TON developed their sound somehat subsequently. Not to mention their image (Playboy, Ricki Lake etc.).
Bloody Kisses may be from '92, but there's been little since then to touch the first few minutes of Christian Woman IMO.
