Some kind of mascara ad?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I would have thought they would have used a Goff band for the soundtrack.

On the subject of WTF adverts, there's a Nissan ad on the telly at the moment featuring a p*ss-poor cover of Human Fly. Do not like.

Oh, I quite like this one ... no mascara at all, to the contrary, it reminds me of Quasimodo ... but of course, I can see it with a girl's eyes ... :P ...

And Marian does fit nicely as well ... pretty, vlada881 ... :notworthy: ...

Anyway, there are some really good videos backgrounded with Sisters songs on Youtube ... well, others might seem not so reproducible for me, but that is a matter of personal, ehm ... what word to chose? ... capacities, experience, constellations, conditions, circumstances, f**ked-up-ness ...

what's the film they've used? looks like underworld or some other such sh*te... it would take more than a sisters soundtrack to make me sit through 4 and a half minutes of that steaming turd of a film :urff:

Well, ok. Not almost. That guy there lacks not only humour ... :wink: ...

Oh, but there ARE plenty of such vids already. And some of them are - at least - good fun ... and not badly made ... :lol: ...

Definitely the original Underworld from 2003. Latest sequel out in the New Year for second-rate vampire movie fans.

And in any case, they are probably largely overlapping groups ;D

I did not know that Underworld movie and anyway, Vampire symbolism does have its points ... if one can make something of it. I have seen such a pretty Vampire-Eldritch lookalike at the Woodstage-Festival in Glauchau in 1997 ... so sweet and nicely done, it made me smile and it deserves respect.
There was also another pretty Eldritch lookalike, the kind of the drunken and despaired bastard ... very sweet and lovely as well ...

Back to that vid, now that I know it is a whole movie where those scenes come from, ok, then the role of that guy might develop, hopefully ... :lol: ...

but it's a sh*t film, regardless of how much credence you give it's subject matter. it warrants no intellectualisation or excusing. it's sh*t.

All I'm gonna say on this matter is

Kate Beckinsale

who needs credence, subject matter, intellectualisation (is that a word?), or excuses... 8) ;D

Marian always was the standout potential hit track on FALAA - catchy enough to appeal to the masses but dark enough and with a good enough vocal by :von: to keep the die-hards happy.
I'm sure that with a decent vid (i.e. not like this one) it would have been a huge commercial success, certainly more so than NTTC. Perhaps it was too long, perhaps the German bit put them off, or perhaps it's just more evidence that WEA didn't know what they were doing. They'd learned from their mistakes by Lucretia, which was a big success despite being the third single from Floodland, and whose vid is the most watched Sisters track on YouTube. Is it too late to ask them to put out Ribbons as the last single from VT ??
