"He's got the Tomahawk missile in His hands..."

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.

Nah, they did that in Birmingham one year later.
Cool, that means I have both on tape somewhere. Now, if I could only find the damn things, I'd do the necessary...
You actually listen to those silver shiny things? :innocent:
You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

Wasn't it performed by Nottingham Forest fans/players once?
A while ago though...like during the 80's......
Yup. Still got that on single.

That's where I knew it from, too ;)

The joke wasn't that awful.

The dodgy assessment of a very talented band, however...:von:

i was there as well -the best reading festival ever IMO: the sisters, iggy pop (both of whom played 1969) and nirvana to name but three- and "he's got the whole world in his hands" was a perfect example of von's sharply cynical and ironic yet totally self-deprecating sense of humour. i remember when every sisters interview used to patiently explain that (whilst being still most excellent) they were ultimately taking the p*ss out it all on an enormous level. von says beforehand "i just know you're going to hate this" and i never thought for a minute that he was talking to us, but rather to the people who didn't understand the joke. eldritch was more off his head than i've seen/heard him since (with the possible exception of one of the nec gigs) and the buzz of playing that song to an enormous festival crowd (at least 60% of whom would probably have hated the sisters anyway -"too miserable...to slow...too boring...silly deep voice etc") whilst bombed off your fucking head must have been huge. it was fucking great. :von:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
