Interview with AE

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.

The questions are longer than the answers.

It's ok, they had more musicians in the past than recorded albums...

I wonder if that even was planned for this May - look at Ben's tour schedule; a double date in Pretoria 8th/9th of May :?:

Now the Eureka machines have gigs in England theses dates, but still, they would have fit suspiciously good in the Sisters tour schedule...another canceled South African gig? :?

As he and the band (and crew) are English, that surely would imply they are the worst thing about the place. :lol:

i think he's probably referring to the english stag and hen parties that have invaded prague and are turning the centre into an eastern european version of the reeperbahn, or even worse - trurning into a version of newcastle's 'bigg market' :urff: :(

in the case of prague this might refer to those many people from the anglo-american area who came there to work - prague serves as base for many of big companies for all eastern european countries, there are many of them, but our local friends can tell us more. in fact many companies were moving their eastern european headquaters from vienna to either prague or budapest in the past few years.

Below is 'Doktor Avalanche' live at work at the Brixton Academy back in 1983. You'll also notice Andrew Eldritch, Gary Marx, Craig Adams and Ben Gunn in the line-up next to 'Doktor Avalanche'.
about time someone realised who the real star of the show was :!:

I get the impression that Von prefers to keep quiet about this, that he doesn't really have any interaction with his family (and hasn't had since the late 70s or thereabouts), and that this line of questioning would be one surefire way to guarantee an early end to the interview.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

actually i was wondering about one of the lines in FALAA - about "almost 25 years" and whether that was a reference to his parents (would he have almost been 25 then?) or and upringing?

It's just his age - in some later 85 gigs he changed the line to "26 years".
