Recorded live on stage in London...

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.

Why would you even fake it like that though? At least make an effort!

Though tbh, why would you even fake it? Anyone who'd seen 5 minutes of a solitary gig or had heard the single on the radio presumably clocked it a mile off.

Band mimes on TV. Why is this surprising to anyone?
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

never before i realized how lovely it was from nirvana to p*ss off a pre-recorded playback by employing this well known goth-voice. given the 1991 circumstances, its..just brilliant.

So...(and yes, I know about the guy and his piano)...is Doctor Jeep a metaphor for US foreign policy? On and on and on? One casual genocide after another after another and on and on and on?

You know what Noam Chomsky (my 'Eldritch' these days in lieu of the real thing) said about this?

Dr. Jeep = G.P. or Doctor, see it's easy when you know how. ;D

So Doctor Jeep = Doctor G.P. or Doctor Doctor. Which brings us to the Thompson Twins who had a song called "Doctor Doctor". "Doctor, doctor, can't you see, I'm burning, burning?" - obviously a reference to all the dry ice at gigs. The Sisters supported the Thompson Twins at their first gig in 1981... which so impressed the Thompson Twins that they released a single "Sister Of Mercy" as a homage. Leonard Cohen heard the song a few years later and released his own song of the same name with the addition of an extra 's' and a time machine. The song was heard by a frustrated drummer looking for a name for his band. This probably creates a time paradox. So Dr Jeep = Andrew Eldritch, going on and on through time not releasing new songs, not now, not ever.

Hey, nobody ever said that being the reluctant High King of Goth was an easy job. ;D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
