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.

But the Belgrade date was less than 48 hours before The March Violets played the York DV8 Festival. It would have been tough to do both.

Maybe this brought it to a head?

Yes, yes, yes - but who was doing the job in '92? :lol:
1990 and 1991 had onstage keys. Pretty sure the onstage keys then disappeared until Winter 93. I think the actual Doktor may well have been offstage during this time with Jez driving.

Oh, sad. Si was very kind to me when I persistently (but successfully!) pestered for set lists in Belgium, France, NZ and here in Melbourne. Thank you Si, you're an ace chap.

Well, in so many years time he can always come back. He and Von have that kind of history...

Anyway, Ravey Davey did a good job too in Cologne.

Ofcourse, nothing wrong with moving on! R.D. was cool!

Indeed, nothing wrong with RD, as long as they don't change their singer ;-)

It's all such a dreary fiction.

this is dreary, not only that, it's a lie

they are a shower of evil metal dickweeds, I have withdrawn my support, forever, he's not going to change (lost his ghost) and I can't be bothered with the pish that masquerades as TSOM anymore

it doesn't make me happy to say the above, it's just a fukkin' FACT!

No James, your're wrong, this is the best band in the whole wide world. A.E. is genius, he's so witty and inteligent. Live sound is always fantastic and setlists are so different. Take a look at last two concerts. Or last tour. Why you so blind and bitter? I guess that's because (and here put some pseudo- psychologic bull crap, probalby something about your mom).

@Bartek - nice effort but you need about 10 emoticons per line for full effect.

Bartek - you also forgot the four paragraphs justifying why Eldo does not need to have released any new material in the last twenty years.
