Following Vision Thing 91-94

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 never said "make a goth album". I said make an album that could be marketed to goths. That whole alternative/industrial thing that was going on at that time was one of about six pre-defined MTV market segments into which all bands seemed to be square-pegged into, regardless of how they sounded or how connected to that particular "scene" they were. Do you guys not remember this?
What I remember of 1994 was Grunge in the US along with stuff like Pavement, and "Britpop" here in the UK with Oasis, Pulp and Blur. I'm not sure why a record label would be pushing a Goff agenda back then. Marilyn Manson pushing the Goff look wasn't until 1996.
They'd be more likely trying to put Von in a flannel shirt rather than black bondage gear.
Exactly this. The Sisters in 1994 would have been well out of place, even among the Lollapalooza crowd. Von putting the Sisters on hiatus for that year and the next would have been the best thing he could have done.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
