MARES VIVAS REVIEW

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.

yep amen to the leave bog off sad pale imitations leave us with the albert hall memories.

were stunning at the top of their game. the albert hall holocaust bootleg is just the best CD ever as well as the newcastle 85 one.

saw them in manchester on the silver bullet and cried. was so looking forward to the show and they were **so** crap.

Personally I think he looks fine. Let's face it, a person's looks are irrelevant to their talent. :von: never relied on his looks to write killer songs, sell records or concert tickets. All that came from his brilliant mind! This is TSOM we're talking about, not some candy-assed boy band! If somebody stops listening to an artist because they don't like their look, then they were never truly a "fan" to begin with. Just my opinion. :D

Get over it.

They're The Sisters of Mercy, not a Sisters of Mercy (c.a. 1985) tribute band.

i love the sisters anno 2008.. they rock much more than they did before..
ok.. it would be great to hear them play some songs they haven't played in a while, like adrenochrome, valentine, body & soul,.. but hey.. can't have it all..

if you wanna hear the sisters play a 1985 setlist, play a cd.. :lol:

All those sad suburban goths who still cry if Marian is on their stereo, go mow your lawn with a Clan of Xymox shirt on.

Sisters is at best a human machine on war. Sometimes it's horrible to look at, sometimes it's evil, but mostly fascinating, weird and, most important, never ends.

...no, they're just a good band that too many people take too seriously for the wrong reasons, and too many people don't take seriously for the wrong reasons.

Seconded, but without that 'no'. It should be 'Yes, and...'

In an interview from the 'old' days Eldritch was asked about Bauhaus and bands like that. If my memory serves me correct, there was no postive response to that :innocent:
