Christian Death

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

nah. that's a few dates in the UK, and some on the mainland.
bit much for that to be called a tour in either place.

Count me out. Quite possibly the worst live band I've ever seen.

Valor lost any credibility he may have had left (not much TBH) when he collaborated with Cradle Of Filth

i'm not very keen on valor, i much preferred roz williams as the singer and even then its only really "only theatre of pain" that stands out for me.

years ago Christian Death played a gig leicester and afterward ended up down the Fan Cub (leicester's 80's goth club). this guy Gaz -a massive christian death fan- had convinced them all to come down by assuring them that they would get v.i.p rockstar treatment, but as it turned out Sue the owner had "never heard of them" :wink: and so gaz had to pay for them all to get in, including valors team of bodyguards.
with a lack of v.i.p. area or special treatment, valor just sat there in the corner surounded by his bodyguards, getting more and more paranoid; while we got steadily drunker and took the piss out of him mercilessly for being so far up his own arsehole.
however, no matter how abusive we got we couldn't get a rise out of him at all, he just looked more and more and uncomforatable and hid more behind his bouncers. i swear, he took the lot, he didn't say a word back. later a friend of mine, mel, who'd shagged him a couple of times as a groupie, said she'd spoken to valor afterwards and that valor thought i was mary out of the gaye bykers on acid, and that as he was on our turf he was shitting himsself that there would be an "incident"! :lol:
all of which i'm afraid confirmed my low opinion of the bloke. :roll:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I want to see them for sure!
I have seen Rozz Williams with Shadow Project a long time ago, but never Christian Death nor Valor.
Only last weekend I've played The Wind Kissed Pictures a couple of times. They've got some great songs (okay, quite a few bad ones too).
Not sure I can make the Belgian date, but I hope so...
in dub we trust

Great story, @EastMidsWhizzKid. Have you ever thought of going on the red chair on the Graham Norton show ?

Catastrophe Ballet is one of CD best albums, but i think it was played almist entirely, listening to The Decomposition of Violets it misses i think one or two CB songs

Catastrophe Ballet is the best CD album for me, but ... it's Valor...
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

i own olnly their first four albums and that because i got the french edition which is realy nice but i only listen to CB and deathwish. Truth is the first side of CB is realy good.
Beside that i think their name is realy embarrasing, they made a circus out of the band when they were competing who s gonna win the band's name,
i ofthen thought of selling them (except CB)
They are playing Athens as well but i cant find a single reason why i should go to the gig.

Now, yes. Although Wind Kissed Pictures is also OK, and Atrocities is up there with Catastrophe Ballet. Oddly enough I don't really like Only Theatre of Pain much these days.

Valor is still a total boobie these days.

Me too (aside from the first). :D

I notice they are appearing in Leamington Spa (same venue The Sisters played). I must confess I have never heard any of their music though. :)

Berlin Black are supporting at York - so I could go see them and get an early train home!

Xris and I went to see Christian Death a while back - we created a very specialist Christian Death dance routine due to not-very-much other entertainment being available during the gig. I am tempted to come to the York gig to ensure that he recreates it while supporting them. I hope they are better than they were when we saw them last. Christian Death that is, not Berlin Black who can do no wrong.
MiniDV8 is looking like a really good weekend. Fair play to Shezza once again. :notworthy:
