Oh Boy, why Simon?

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.

Things i remember about Sisters in 90's:

Detonation Boulevard being played twice in a gig (Only the drum intro).
Burn being stopped in the intro, and started again.

(I also remember 'nice' setlists, Eldritch with hair, and a Bassist, but this isn't the point)

Well, Ravey sure must be a nice guy, but...
Not Sure if want :lol:

Sad to see Big Si go!


Ravey Davey did sound on 2008 US tour very nice guy.

Also the counterpart to AE's fantastic remix of Fatherland by Die Krupps.

Certainly no blame but shame it is.

I'm sure other ones can do the job but I liked him being a nurse to the doc and kind of a 'mother' to the band. The right appearance and looks behind his small apples! :notworthy:

Ravey was there in the 90's as well? So he did Pukkelpop 1992?

Seconded, I will definitely miss that look ... :( :wink: ...

On the other hand, if he left because there are a lot of things to do regards The March Violets
and this would otherwise somewhat collide with his acitivites for The Sisters of Mercy ...
doesn't that imply that there are going to be some time-consuming future activities of The Sisters ... :eek: ;D ;D ;D :lol: ...

No, the first time he was nurse to thd Doktor was during the Roadkill shows in 1996....

I agree, he was a reassuring presence behind the 3 apples.

I absolutely agree, fit perfectly up there in shades and beard behind the smoke, and cool he was - but Ravey Davey must be quite old as well?

Oh that's sad. He might be back though, you never know.

He is/was a fine nurse to the Doc.He seems pretty relaxed and cool guy as well.

I guess Simon wants to make some music and Eldo finds it pretty offensive :D
And since there is just a few dates this year i don't think the 'busy' schedule is the problem.
