NME or NDE?

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.

Near Meth Experience—a band, but also a fine play on words. The actual term, NDE, or Near Death Experience, is real. I had one.
And I’ll say this.

If you’ve ever wronged someone:
Ask for forgiveness.
Make amends.

And be sure to do so before you die.

Ah you rode the beast - one of many. Glad you made it back.

And even if you don't have a near death experience, your advice is true for all - who believe they have a soul.
This place is death with walls

Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears

Thanks. Actually though, I was sent back.
Not so much one of many, as one at all.

I always preferred Sounds to the NME personally. In fact I'd rather have Melody Maker than the NME.

Near Meth Experience, not New Music Express; but hey, I’d choose Melody Maker, too.

The Maker always seemed to be friendly towards the Sisters. Unlike the NME or was that more Eldritch's distain for them

Very clever. :lol:
There’s a new movie out called, “After Death.”
I guess this topic is establishing its own genre.

The same NME that used the description (I forget which Sisters song) of 'like a goblin being sick into a bucket' and the same NME whose editor kept a fax saying (and I paraphrase) 'happy headache' as their single chartered. Perhaps a love/hate relationship.

I too was a 70's 'Sounds' guy, but moved gradually to the NME via Melody Maker.

Living in, or around Leeds for major parts of my life I've also had a few NME live experiences.

New-style Manilla Envelopes? I doubt Eldritch has sent a paper letter since 2005.

Actually, writing “paper” letters is quite an art. I’ve seen some great calligraphy that no computer could ever match. :wink:
