30 years of royal highness today

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.

I was counting the person as Robertzombie - not that I actually know him, knowm

But I know him, virtually know him, through the good offices of Heartland - so I am counting that as knowing him.

Now your not confused

That was meant to read "know him" not "knowm" which is an old commanche word for "can't f**king type"

Have been surprised by how little there has been in the media about the thirtieth anniversary, both mainstream and social media, especially as it's exactly thirty years since the great Craig Adams played his last gig with TSOM. :( As with Gary's recent departure anniversary, I've posted my own wee tribute to CA on my blog. TSOM have never sounded the same since, and Von gave up on trying to replace him over a decade ago.

To be fair, I'm always confused.

Anyway, I celebrated the glorious events of thirty years ago by cooking tea, helping out with homework, going for a run and then a shower.

There probably would have been a lot more in the media if it hadn't had clashed with the 200 years since Waterloo.

The celebration of the end of some self centred, dictatorial, half-pint of a megalomaniac trying to take over the planet.

And thanks (not for the first time) to @Joy for instantly tracking down a quote I could only half remember. :notworthy:

30 years, where did they go?!!!

Sadly I only got into the Sisters in late 84, as a 14 year old, & so wasn't at the RAH gig but it's crazy to think that most of the punters at that gig, will now be in their 50s.
Give me one good reason

I know it wont happen & no offence to the current line up but I would dearly love to see Craig play bass at future Sisters gigs.
I'm not talking about a full reunion of the early line up but similar to when he plays with The Alarm, TOH/Spear.
Just a silly dream of mine because I love his style of playing.
