Thank you, thank you, thank you

i'm trying to divorce with them, but we've got too much common stuff

If they didn't exist I'd have to start a band. I have no musical talent. I started a magazine instead. You don't need talent to do this.

love love love them

I love Still, I love Arms, I love Crash & Burn, I love Romeo Down & Will I Dream, I love everything "new" from Come Together to War On Drugs, I love Adrenochrome, Floorshow, Burn, Lights, Kiss The Carpet, YCBTO, & Under The Gun. I even love The Damage Done. But Not Home Of The Hitmen.

& lets share why we love them, when we started loving them & why we'll continue loving them...



I'll start... I love The Sisters Of Mercy because they are the soundtrack to/for my life.

Okay, Andrew - we get the idea - you like your own band...

The music and lyrics are both evocative, and Mr. Eldritch may be the ultimate rock star.

Not 'arf - Eldritch is to music what the Simpsons is to cartoons, Alan Moore is to comics, and sex is to being alive.

I love them As well, I think everybody here loves them

Oh how happy I am to see this back!

A annoying but necessary evil? Mind yer words!

IZ.

Since 14.04.1989 to be exact. Why? Because of that beautiful deep voice, lyrics & tunes, screams & whispers.

Since it's resurrected and I'm new ...

I got into The Sisters at school around 1986. Anyone from Batley Grammar around that period? Danny? Norman? Dan? I was too late for Wake, but saw them at Wembley in 1990. Crap!

It took a while for 'Vision Thing' to float my boat, but 'Floodland' and 'FALAA' did the trick. Collecting singles and bootlegs, I became a rabid Sister fan. Today, 'Vision Thing' is a lot more interesting to me, now I'm 40 ish and not some teenage goff. Growing up in/around Leeds/Bradford in the mid-1980s you couldn't really be anything other, could you?

What I like about The Sisters is the lyrical turn Von pulls in almost every song.

I am certain that's what I like about it - even 'Under the Gun' has a real return to the Floodland era, big vocals, big music and an undertow of Mr E pulling his growling sneer

I've seen them a few times since 1990 at smaller venues and I just continue to love whatever they do. The Adam Pearson period was good - innovation, musically and a good output. Christo/Catalyst just rock, tho' ... and that's what The Sisters are really about. I think The Sisters today is possibly the best line-up to date. We just need Lemmy on't bass and we will have THE Sisters of Mercy

Love it ... always did ... always will!

welcome (again)

great post

Your aim was well off in this instance! But I'll let you off.
