me mum told me not to take sweets from strangers.

and they don't get much stranger than you

Lest we forget......

We are a rock'n'roll band.
And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine.
And intellectual love gods in our spare time.

Eh, saw the M!ss!on once in Norwich. Okay gig in some Uni bar.

Jeez, what a thread ...

goth whats that then ?

I
Only ever wear black
never wake up till twilight
never listen to any music made after 1987
spend my days hanging around my local war memorial
am unheathily pale
pretend to enjoy the films of Jean Rollin

does that make me a goth?

"The" Pink Floyd Ah ha! A real traditionalist.

I'll be even more so by saying 'The Pink Floyd Sound'

Someone who's got it right.



And to quote Gary.....Goth What's that then?

I agree with all of that, but from an existential point of view, the 'we are a ... band' bit becomes more and more disputable. If a band never make any noise (aside from the odd pout nor sigh), are they still a band?

im sure theres some chemical reaction which could explain this...

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. They make records, sometimes. They play concerts, sometimes. And they also claim to be intellectual love gods in their spare time, which they appear to have aplenty...

Well, Let's take shelf 1 of my CD collection:

The Sisters of Mercy - Lacuna Coil - Tiamat - U2 - Roni Size & Reprazent - Bodycount - The Pixies - Wim Mertens - Mozart - Ennio Morricone - Hooverphonic - David Bowie - Megadeth - Carcass - Nirvana - Ministry - Suicide Commando - Best of Trad. Irish Folk - Boudewijn De Groot - Mike Oldfield.

I have 24 more of them shelves.

Rest my case. You narrow-minded @&##§

Hey, Bodycount! Cool! I went to see them once, in Utrecht. I even shook Ice-T's hand. Good gig.

never had mine in an alphabetical list Thrash, when I started buying music most of my stuff was on Island Records, so my collection is layed out by band connections and contexts - King Crimson next to Roxy Music next to Family next to Genesis etc.

BTW just got a hold of a White/Rob Zombie best of CD with extra DVD of videos, just what kinda drugs is that man on?!

Sad

My *cough* Friends dont me a "Sad Old Goth" for nothing you know !

Its been a long and painful road (since 1987) - and worth every bloody minute!
