New Eldritch interview...

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.

"Yorkshire people self-deprecate" is a joke, surely?? "God's own country"?

"Goths own country", surely?

(Or, dare I say it, "Gods own medicine". Runs for cover.)
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

:notworthy: Was there ever a decent goth band from the Red Rose county ?? It did seem to be a Yorkshire phenomenon at te time. I suppose that's why Hussey never really fitted in ...

We were somewhere around Bradford on the edge of the moors when the drugs began to take hold. And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Leeds 6. And a voice was screaming…

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

Well that was worth the price of admission alone!

Great interview.

:lol:

Cracking little interview, even if they did poke through the history that he's made clear time and again isn't really up for discussion.

Plenty to be read between the lines - loved the deadpan "Sterling" comment, and the dry opinion on Gift.

Nice to have the 'sterling' bit confirmed for sure!

I now honestly believe that's what he's like in real life now:

"Andrew would like a twix and a packet of twenty Marlborough Light".

Andrew would like you to stop mocking his affectation for third-person narrative, or you will be hearing from his lawyers.

There are more than a few similarities.

Edit: And I bet no-ones ever seen them in the same room... think on that.

von: That would have been a great album (FALAA) if it had been produced better.

reminds me of an early post in which I was close to excommunication for saying this...

At which point I'll draw your attention to every second thread on this forum for the past fifty years discussing the perpetual non-appearance of said records. It must be a helluva long pipe.

The new album's in a sewage pipeline? :eek: Is that an indication of the quality? Maybe it's a live album.

Is that why they now cover Pipeline live? To give the faithful the clue that the new album is on it's way...

.... and probably has been since Johnny Thunders last covered Pipeline
