How The Sisters can turn into a money making machine.

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.

Saw E. Neubauten (can´t remember the spelling right now) some weeks ago.
After the show you could buy a official bootleg from the show made up from the groups mixing desk.
Interesting idea,
Imagine to buy a live cd-r with The Sisters, directly after the show. would be great, wouldn´t it ?
That would put the bootleggers out of job quite fast.
But, I guess one can only dream :wink:

That would be too easy for an 'ornery bastid like Mr. E, and not that I'm a fan in any way, shape, description or form but, I have been told that Marillion are self financing, via online sales and subscriptions.

Go figure...

I have also heard of this and wondered whether it would work for the Sisters. However, even were the Sisters "fan community" to raise £1,000,000 to finance a new album and tour, I believe that Von, being the ornery bastid he is, would refuse to take the money, or worse, take the money and pi$s it up the wall.

I think he'd also manage to take offence somehow and go on strike from touring. :roll:
