Who's this "Taylor" guy then?





Nah, that can't be right... he can play drums...

I think Mr. Eldritch is very amusing, nice or not. I always have a good laugh at his interviews and utterances in general.

I know almost nothing about Hussey. I think he's an extremely good guitar player, but his music both pre and post 1984/5 is very weak.

I've never been able to retain interest in any m*****n song after more than two or three hearings. In comparison, I don't think I've gone more than a week in the last decade without listening to the Sisters.

So, the name of Mr. Hussey's band is automatically censored on HL...

Nice touch that I hadn't noticed 'til now.

Forgive me, I'm new here.

People can make their minds up about Wayne, me, I think I'd like him.

Blimey scotty, I could have written that.

As has been touched on it's a fashion thing I think, a sheepish if fell out with him so do I.

When the Sisters split I saw the mish what, 15 or 20 times in the following couple of years and they were almost all great gigs. Give the guy credit, he's still out there making records and touring. He still wrote Marian (and others). I listened to God's Own Medicine at the weekend and you know what? It won't win any awards but I enjoyed it, it was fun.

Good times.

At their last show in Berlin at least 40% of the audience showed up in Sisters Tees and screamed for various TSOM songs.

I thought that was very unpolite.*


* and quite silly to pay 30€ for a ticket just to offend the band.

Plus you get to wave your arms around in a silly manner. Good times indeed.

In some cases, good times involving an impressionable young lady, a bottle of Black Tower, and Severina.

I've said too much.

No no no, not at all. Feel free to continue, we're listening...

I had a similar feeling the last time I listened to that album, week ago or so. Wasteland and Severina particularly are undeniable. Time for HLanders to jettison any attempt at having taste, break out the snakebite and black, and dance around like nonces...

...judging from the spectacle of Black Oktober, I think we're already halfway there

Can we have the Fifth Amendment as part of British law please?

I do quite like Wayne. I was a big m*****n fan for a couple of years and I met him at the end of 1990, when he was probably at his most burned out and wasted. He still made time to speak to us when he probably didn't feel like it and I appreciated him making the effort to do so. The problem (and what put me off the Mish in the end) is the crappy, flowery lyrics he writes. I still have a soft spot for a lot of their music, but generally the lyrics spoil it all - Severina being a particularly heinous crime in that daprtment. They do good stomping anthems though (The Crystal Ocean and Wasteland being personal favourites), and to my untrained ears seem geneunely good musicians.

Only having come across the Sisters via Temple of Love 12" tacked onto the end of an early m*****n bootleg back in early '87, I was always open to the m*****n, and most of the antagonism betwen the two passed me by (being brought up in the sticks and not reading NME every week). I loved both of em, up until I heard 'Mr Pleasant' and 'Lovely' on the Carved in Sand / Grains of Sand albums, which made me cringe. The Masque album completely put me off them for the next few years, and it was only 5/6 years ago that I got out the old Mish stuff again. The Sisters however, I've never stopped listening to, since that first unexpected blast of Temple of Love, and doubt i ever will!

"The tried and the trusted talk of plans
Master, past and present
Heartless wordplay, and dreams of revenge
Living on the edge, the razor edge, living on the razor edge

One day we'll look back at this
And laugh and laugh and we'll die laughing
One day we'll look back at this and laugh

Pillar of wisdom and soul of iron
Alone, in the crumbling tower of power

All your friends are dead and buried, they died laughing
All your friends are dead and buried
My heart would bleed for you if I wasn't a victim
My heart should bleed for you

Circumstance, eternal, forever
For the love of god, it's a crying shame
For the love of god

Treasure the moments touched with joy
But the remember the moments, tarnished and stained
For you, sunshine, for you
It's a taste of your own medicine
God's own medicine for you
Wake, wake for you
Wake for you
Wake, wake for you my precious
Wake for you"

I still believe in Von, but Von no longer believes in me.

Me too actually.

Mark, do you know anyone who has shouted at Wayne from across a pub?

Some people can remember things a little too well for my liking

Wayne is a Liverpool FC fan, Andrew a trekkie. There is the difference.

Andrew supports the MU Soccerballs.

I had to have a serious think about things when I found that out.

He is from London, so who did you expect him to support?

Fulham?

according to a copy of UTR in the image gallery, eldo no longer supports man u(re). and as its an old copy, it means he hasn't been a fan for at least 10 years (cant remember the exact date of the UTR)
