R.I.P. Steve Strange (Visage)

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.

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!"

the very first Sisters bootleg i ever heard or owned was on a c-90 cassette. never having heard "sister ray/louie, louie" segued into what is basically one track before, when the gig ended i was still awaiting the last song. to fill the space at the end of the cassette at some point someone had recorded "fade to grey" by visage. i knew it wasnt the sisters but -like kashmir as intro to the gig- i have loved that song ever since....(steve) strange but true. :?

When the new Visage album was announced a couple of years ago, we all laughed, thinking it would be awful. (This based on Steve's live performances after the original Visage split.) It turned out to be a great album, sounding exactly like Visage in 2013 should. Sad there won't be another.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.
