What goes around, comes around

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.

It strikes me that with the current vogue for and receptiveness towards guitar-orientated music, now would be a good time for Eldritch as 'the master strategist' to get something out and cash in.

Who knows, maybe in a year so, when the current crop of chart-bound rockers have blown their wad, we'll be back to the state where the mainstream is solely singalongacoverversion and one-dimensional 'boop-beep' dance music again.

And this, together with the further growth of online file sharing, will make actually selling any product and making any money even harder than it is now.

Come on, von, have you seen the way the wind is blowing?

It would also be a good time to release a record because I still have some money left over from Christmas

18th June 2005 is my bet, so don't hold your breath. We all know Von likes an anniversary, plus I wouldn't really be surprised if the contrary bugger already had a record deal, but was just holding out on us.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

*Sigh* He's not going to die soon. He's just going to well, fade away.

But have some hope...he hasn't met me yet. Right? I will change his life and we'll get another studio masterpiece. :)

I'm hoping for a Bowie/Iggy Pop kind of thing. (Up and coming "next big thing" meets his drugged-up hero in Hamburg and drags him back to England to record an album.)

If The Darkness are fans of the Sisters, then you never know...

In the style of Serge Gainsbourg, right? :wink:

Iggy was considerably younger than Von when Bowie pulled his career out of the toilet... :(

The only person that can save Von's career is Von, and he doesn't seem interested!
