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.
Yep, that U2 one looks fookin ace - unfortunately it was still light when they came on at Roundhay Park, but the PopMusik intro was still in place.
Rammstein's original Mutter tour intro was up there - featuring the band bumbling round the stage in nappies, having just been 'born' from test tube thingys. Only seen this on vid though, at the Apollo the other year Til sprung out of the stage trapdoor. Dull by comparison.
And of course, Metallica use The Ecstasy Of Gold as their walk-on music, which is as dramatic as God will allow. And is thus my fave.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

I wasn't watching the kids
Maybe I'm just right naive and innocent, but I haven't looked at her 'in that way' at all on the programme. But that picture - Christ On A Bike!
Back on topic Mr Fiend, another Metallica corker from the mid 90's was the band simply walking on stage, house lights all quite 'on', and plunging into 'So What?'. Marvlious.

Big Audio Dynamite, Glasgow Barrowlands on a Fair Saturday, last century, walk on to - what sounded like BAD doing Peter Gunn, I've been searching for it ever since

When I saw Entombed they came on to the Imperial March from Star Wars. But overall best for me was KING DIAMOND coming on to the intro to "Home from the Asylum" (or whatever the first track on "Them" is)
British Sea Power at Berlin Roter Salon, September 2003. The already dark red room darkens, and the sounds of Sir John Betjeman reciting a mildly rude poem about a buxom Yorkshirewoman emerge through the PA. There is no backstage area for the band to appear from. Then there is a tinkling sound and the band walk slowly though the rather scared crowd, ringing little handbells and staring blankly, walk on stage without a word, pick up instruments and they're off...
Although they almost surpassed this on New Years Eve at Highbury Garage whereby they came onstage in chunky patterned knitwear of a scariness level more generally seen on Norwegians and started with a touching choral rendition of "In The Bleak Midwinter".
I was at the U2 at Roundhay too, god it didn't half s**t it down that day!!
