The essence of Eldritch

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.

Hunter S. Thompson meets Mary Poppins.

:lol:

For a moment I thought you were suggesting he was bringing out his own brand of perfume.

If he did, I imagine it'd be in a container shaped like a bullet and it'd smell of laudanum with a subtle hint of ether. :P


And yes, I'm taking the p*ss on both counts, I think. :D

I liked his own "the Pet Shop Boys meet Motörhead."

When I saw the title of the thread I assumed it was a new perfume, a rather pungent mix of Marlboro, leather and dry ice.

yeah, i've met Eldritch... :innocent:

i also thought it was something to with perfume -it would be subtly fragrant and evoke a thousand memories, ultimately inexpensive but rare, and a few drops would have to last you a lifetime. it would of course come in a very small bottle.*

If we're talking perfume, there's that burnt-plastic smell of the organic solvents used in the manufacture of certain medicinal chemicals.

I've met him too.

The essence is maybe 50% "intellectual art-rock hooligan" and 50% "chancer can't believe his luck that his scheme to avoid ever having to get a proper job actually worked".
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Addition to my original trio.

Meets Rob Hubbard.

Imagine a song like Flood 2. Made before Flood 2. And better than Flood 2. On a Commodore 64. And 17 minutes long.

This is only half of it.

For the impatient, it gets Flood 2-esque around the 02:35 mark, although I encourage you wait.

Von wasn't the only sly, electro-brutalist up North in shades and a groovy shirt in the 80's.

I also met Eldritch, during his blonde-hair, white bikers' jacket phase. He said nine words to me.
