As someone once said, "Some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more". I would appear to be in the latter camp ...moses wrote:I don't think his lyrics are obtuse or even that poetic.
I listened to a live compilation of all the "new" songs recently and the big thing that hit me was the poor sound quality.Sita wrote:Any kind of official live recording would be fantastic. I keep listening to some of you guys' very fantastic recordings, but still, all the audience talk and the mix... nothing like an official, a bit polished-up, live recording!

Yeah, and some of you are trying hard to nail down a duty towards one's legacy ... phh ...Prescott wrote:Being645 wrote:Legacy, phh ... ... ... ... you are all crazy ... ...
Some of us care deeply and intellectually about the Sisters legacy. Thanks.

(and if I say phh, this does of course not target at any of you, but soley at this funny concept in general!!!)
When you look at the world of today, legacy as almost everything doesn't have any other meaning than
usability and financial yield ... so, on his way to eternal revenge, deprived of his mission, Von will surely
give a damn for serving anyone with his legacy ... sorry for that ... ... ...
nah, I'm losing the will to continue with this onePrescott wrote:James, shall I pass this one to you?
Great point! I tried to tackle this point about 250 posts ago too. It's basically like all the apologists are arguing that RECORDING MEDIA in general is unnecessary so it should have never been invented in the first place!?TheGoodSon wrote:Quick question for those of you who insists that a new product (studio album, live album, DVD) is completely irrelevant because The Sisters live experience is still a good one - was there, in your opinion, ever a need for the band to release anything at all, in the first place?
From what I´ve understood, The Sisters were a great live band in the eighties as well (not to mention bootlegged as hell), did it really serve any purpose to release the indie singles, F&L&A, Floodland, or VT? Couldn´t they just have stuck to playing live, since they´re good at it and since it´s all anyone needs?
Apart from the fact, that The Sisters have improved their performance enormously compared to various former events, I can't but agree ...TheGoodSon wrote:Quick question for those of you who insists that a new product (studio album, live album, DVD) is completely irrelevant because The Sisters live experience is still a good one - was there, in your opinion, ever a need for the band to release anything at all, in the first place?

That says it all, Steve! ... ... (again) ... ...Pista wrote: He recently talked about taking the band back to how it started (in the NZ phone call with his cat playing a star role).
He stated that they were the band that played shows & yet never released stuff.Well, I might be missing something, but Damage Done, Body Electric, Alice, Anaconda...etc. seemed to be "releases" or was I dreaming that bit?

It's nothing personal.... in fact, the Oxford English Dictionary's definition of something being impersonal, specifically depicts Andrew's non-existent relationship with his audience, via a stick drawing of us, and him with his back to us.
He cares so little what we think, that the null-energy distorts spacetime outwards, causing impressive bouts of antigravitational phenomena like pigs flying - such occurrences unfortunately being too brief and ephemeral to isolate in laboratory conditions for closer scrutiny.
What we mustn't lose sight of is that Eldritch 's time is too important for him to waste, what, six weeks max of his time every two or three years on products that will invariably bring joy to tens or hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Our presumptions of his idling his time doing f**k all in between mumbling a line or or two of a twenty/thirty year old song every two months are unfounded - lest we forget about how much 'good code' he writes, because God forbid where the world would be right now without his computer skills.
God, I wish I was a Coldplay fan.
This is the current state of the band. Does anyone actually think it will change? Seriously? I'm not asking if anyone wants it to change. Many do. But will it? Can it?Machine Regime wrote: doing f**k all in between mumbling a line or or two of a twenty/thirty year old song every two months
Sure it will. But first we gotta get the guy hammered. Really hammered.sultan2075 wrote:This is the current state of the band. Does anyone actually think it will change? Seriously?

That's why he demanded £3million for a record contract. It costs a lot of money to get really hammered when you've built up a tolerance over the yearsMachine Regime wrote:Sure it will.
