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.

The one that I always remember went something like: "When you're checking out the front rows of the crowd to try and figure out how many of them you'll be sleeping with after the show, you're there for the wrong reasons."
But, he did also say fairly early on (IIRC) one of the reasons for getting into a band was due to "an inability to click with women at parties."
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

On the topic of stage names and signing on didnt Playdeads singer have to stop signing on when someone in his dole office recognised him from Playdeads Into the Fire video?
This was certainly a problem! Back in the early 90s when I had the dubious pleasure of working in New York Road/Eastgate Dole offices in Leeds I faced regular queues of musicians waiting for me to sign them on as they knew I wouldn't shop them.
As for not being able to attend restart interviews because they were off on tour.... a similar problem for band followers as for band members I recall.
Oh is it? I don't know anything about Andreas's sexuality. But then I've never really been one to "worry about it" when it comes to what other people do with their genitalia.
I like that, "equal-opportunity slut" and yeah you may well be right. After all, Wayne's a happily married man these days.

For some reason I thought Andreas was married with children now. I don't remember where I read that, though.

I don't know if it was ever specified that it was Andreas, but it seems like a reasonable assumption.
