Your ideal Sisters Setlist

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.

Surprise Corpse, perhaps.
So what's she gonna do? Sit there and glare at Von across the stage?

Or maybe murder him, steal his swordstick and dump his suit in the back of her car?
wouldn´t be in favour of murder him, :roll:
for we still sit in silence waiting for the next one (album) to arrive :wink:

i would like to invert the whole original/cover thing and see TSOM do the whole of the Cure's Orange gig, with Driven and Temple as the encore.

ideally in france, in the summer with ian brown as the support.

do you think it's likely ?

this is completely wrong and must be stopped.

commandment #1: thou mustest respectest thine adrenochrome.
i'm with you mate...
adrenochrome stands for everything the sisters are..
you can see it in the lyrics...
and if you take the teachers/adrenochrome medley...even more!!

"we're the sisters of mercy..."
"...the damage done..."
"some girls wander by mistake..."

that medley has it all!! the name, the first single, an album,....and the final phrase of teachers:
"did my singing please you, no? words you sang along!"
that IMHO is as true as it can be...everybody knows the sisters and their lyrics stick to your mind unlike everything you'll ever hear!!(especially from adrenochrome!!)

Todd Rundgren's lyrics do it for me too :D
"And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it's a frightening thought to go nowhere".
