*know not not now, sorry

Coming from the lone american here... George W Bush is definitely THE Prince of Darkness

I'd say the Sisters are in fact goth... in the meaning that, their music can easily be classified as goth. And what do you expect when you are one of the most inlfuential bands on goth scene ever? And dress like that?

The problem is that didn't have the intention of making goth music. His idea was to make postpunk/alternative rock, which the classification was in those days. But with goth as a new style, Andy finds himself not wanting to belong with these other bands, it was never what he intended.

So the choice is this: Are the Sisters goth?
(what their band would be classified as): YES
(what intended to make the band): no

This has been said before, and while I'd agree that everything up to and (possibly) including FALAA could be described as "postpunk/alternative rock", there is no way you could apply that label to Floodland.

"Psychedelic Dub Metal" was a term I seem to remember being used.

Is this a record for thread necromancy or what?

Is there a page or three missing?

My wife says they are, my ex-flatmate says they were. I think they rock...

Eldritch is the only person who really cares and I thinketh he proteth too much

can anyone explain my what means "goth"? and this is serious i really dunno
and someone wrote that "Floodland" was true goth, but there's another question : what goth scene looks in the days when "Floodland" was released? Wasn't that the mr. E (with a little help of Patsy) made-accidentally- goth scene ?( yes i remember how influential sisters were for 2nd wave of gothic music )

Everyone has their own definition of "goth". For me it's UK Decay, Sex Gang Children, Southern Death Cult and a few like-minded bands.

For the rest, call it "dark rock", or "post-punk" or whatever. Good music transcends genre classifications anyway.

Interesting, especially how none of those apply to the Sisters in any way, shape or form.

And yeah.. TH-TH-TH-THREAD NECRO!

I dug it up from "most views" from Statistics. I am a gravedigger now?

And I still have no idea what "goth" means...

Apart from that, obviously :

apart

That's my very favorite kind of g*ffik.

And that's the only kind of goffik that is as good as The Sisters.

More like a deformed heavy metal band than goth.

Well they did call themselves a heavy-metal band in the early days.

No, because i dont like goth bands

...and rightly so, as what currently passes for "g*th" really sucks, imho...

how dare you !? you don't like evenescens(or what ever), nightwish, within tempation ? they're so cool band playing so cooool music, so cool and sweet that even i could gone sick ...

None of those bands are "g*th", man. "Alternative" and some form of metal, maybe...

Next thing you know, you'll be claiming that Manson's g*th, ffs... *Shakes head*

Evanescence/ Within Temptation/ Night Wish was what I knew as goth back when I was still pop/goth/rock orientated... Wasn't bad, for sure, but if you'd call the Sisters goth, it'd mean something quite different from calling those three goth.

When was this, Tidal - last year?

Just kidding...

Within Temptation, Nightwish and all those bands are Opera Metal. In the case of the former they might cross over being a pop rock band like Evanescence, a band that modeled itself after Within Temptation but had the American music industry behind them and hence became more popular than the original. Who then reinvented themselves after their clone. In either case none of that's goth and a lot of it sucks imo. The Sisters are The Sisters (well, Andrew anyway )...

yeah,yeah but still everyone call this band "goth"(and they're still sucks) and yes, Manson is new price of the darkness, goth king
