My first thought:

What have I missed?!

I'm stuck in my teens *and* I'm an alien (not going to discuss the genius bit, because what's on paper means nothing when nothing's come of it, imho). No records yet; stay tuned...

Mice?

My point was/is his alleged "genius" is severely flawed due to his allegiance to Man Utd. Planet Dave will understand - when he finishes eating his cheese

FWIW: Genius? Nah.

That would mean you agree with Ramone, which in turn proves my point that mice are lovely creatures and that doing harm to them should not be allowed.

There's a ManU scarf from the 1970s or early 1980s on the shelf in the downstairs hall closet at my dad's house...

How very odd. Still, spot the leeds fan and his unhealthy obsession with a club he doesn't even support. Firm city territory is that , Norm. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Give over - you miss us, go on admit it to yourself

How the Stilton?

Anyway, I promise I'll not derail this one any further.

Mice, no.

Maybe Lice.....

Nah, dear _emma_ we know he's not Capricorn, although I understand how you would think as much!
Von an alien, hmmm....looking at his profile with close examination of nose and ears....nah....he's too pretty for alien imo.

But he has a grasp to a certain way of looking at life that I think appeals to us all. It would be interesting to know how he sees life now though, or maybe that's what the future album may reveal?...

Oh and I don't think has to worry about catching any lice or nits for that matter....

I've always been wondering how Eldritch can keep making masterpieces, although he is the ONLY constant factor in the band?!?!?! he only does vocals and lyrics, so how can such a different setting of group members still produce "the" Sisters feeling?

because the peasants are ruled by an iron fist




oh and eldo does the production (mostly) and a lot of scheming n tinkering about wiv shiney toys.

Because he can also play guitar (he's playing the main guitar riff on the original version of ToL) and bass and keyboards.

And as Dr. Moody pointed out, he's rather good with sequencers.

Oh yeah, and he's a perfectionist too.

You'd be surprised at how much of the music was both written and played by Von. Easily a good 50% written by him overall, and definitely much much more in the early (pre-FALAA) days.

Like Ive said before, I have not grown up, my toys have just got more expensive!


BTW, cant bother my hole to do multiple quotes!

What exactly's wrong with that, anyway? I can't stand boring old farts!

The same way the conductor of the Wiener Philharmoniker pulls it off, apparently...

IZ.

Of course, in those days the technology to do Forum spam didn't exist.

I don't believe this.

First Robert Smith publishing porn, then the conductor of the Wiener Philharmoniker "pulling it off".

Wherever next?

That's as well, cos the Leeds HL Contingent is full of them.

(by which I mean males stuck in their teens, not boring old farts, god forbid, we'd never be accused of that)

And not just males either, as the stunning and groovy Ms Orange showed with her ace Ms Banshee look the other week. Killing Ja-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r? What Killing Jar-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r?

Emotionally mature, spiritually experienced and mentally grown-up doesn't equal "boring old fart". In fact I've known quite a few examples of boring old farts who are still stuck in their teens.
Oh and - forgot to add - amongst the 1% the majority are Sisters fans, of course.

About 99% of females tend to be very judgemental when it comes to men's "maturity".

I should say "Yeah, right, they must have a good reason for this " but I won't. I'm not taking this any further. I love you all.

Must... refrain... from... razzing... any... further...

Love you too.
