German TV show

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.

Hi people,
I just saw an unidentified object and wanted to ask if any of you could comment it :roll:
I mean a brief snippet of a TV show which consists of Von's interview in German (or rather an introduction to the following) and Under The Gun performed in the studio.
Well, what's strange about it? Von speaks German? C'mon - a man who's name is Von HAS TO speak German :wink:
No, the point was in a band - a guitarist (at first I thought it was Bruhn but he had dark hair) and a female keyboard player who also sang the female part of the song. And she was NOT Terri Nunn, she looked almost gothic :) Actually I suspect they didn't play nor sang but still... who was they :?: Does anybody know?
By the way, the TV channel or program was ELF 99, Von had short dark hair and odd shades.

I got this funny thing on video somewhere.

I don´t think that there are any relations between these two people and Eldritch or the sisters.
I guess they needed two more people to pretend it´s live..

I´ve got a german tv-show from the 90s called "rockpalast" ón video with a full playback performance of "Temple Of Love" with Von and three other guys- one of them playing drums- strange and stupid
"Take Me Down To The Paradise City Where The Gras Is Green And The Girls Are Pretty"

I have that one too, and that girl is really really bad at miming. And she's certainly not playing that keyboard. Don't know who she is though. I always assumed she was Suzanne the background singer they used around that time, but 9 times out of 10 I'm wrong when it comes to assumptions.

IIRC there's something in UTR about this. The people in the "band" were friends of Von's in Hamburg; in another band maybe? Von let them come on the show and pretend to be Sisters because at that point the Sisters were him and the Doktor??

Isn't that thing he talks about in UTR the Top of the Pops where they mock-played More and i Was Wrong?

But what i would like to know if the woman singing backup in that one is Suzanne Josefowich?

Wasn't it "Peters Pop Show" 1993, where they "performed" More & I was wrong?
