Vive Le Rock

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 told that when Ben was 15 he was such a good guitarist that he would have played in CTT except he was too young to go on tour.
Not quite true Ben played with CTT in 2008 on a couple of gigs so knows Christian from then, he went to Bristol Uni in 2000 so I doubt they have been friends since the last 80's as Ben would have been about 5!

Just avidly read my copy of VLR. Great John Lydon interview, fantastic KJ interview...really disappointing AE interview. Article is mainly a (well-written but factually inaccurate) history of the band with the odd Von quote. My favourite line : "For a man that wears a big clock round his neck, I have to say that Flavor Flav is a notoriously bad time-keeper." Rock'n'roll !

Yes, I did find it rather sparse with regards to actual "interview" - it was like a 2-minute elevator/lift conversation interspersed with large chunks of the Sisters' wikipedia page.

Not a whole lot of opening up - other than the poodle and "island of of Africa". Neither which was named.

I gave up subscribing to VLR after 2 successive years when they didn't tell me my subscription had finished and I missed an issue because I just assumed it was late.

Snap - though I managed to re-subscribe. I think I'll give it a miss next time, though - it's an expensive luxury given the extra mouth that now needs fed at Chez Hunter.

Funny, this is the second time Christian / Claytown Troupe have cropped up on my radar over the past couple of weeks.

I would have guessed at Madeira, the Canary Islands, or Cape Verde (or the Seychelles, if it's off the east coast). Not that I particularly care, but...

Well, this is Sisters News 2015, and if it's between discussing the island or the poodle, I know what I pick ;D

an island off the coast sounds like it's quite close to the coast, which Zanzibar is. Ok you're right, it's not exciting enough :roll:

Much thanks for the scans! :notworthy: Nothing new, it seems, aside from the whole Poodle bit... I do have trouble imaging Von with a poodle, of all things. Wonder what happened to his cats?
