Taken from interview:


KNAC.COM: That begs the question then… the Sisters of Mercy are playing here Monday…

STEELE: OH, NO…

KNAC.COM: (laughs)

STEELE: REALLY? Haahhh…

KNAC.COM: Webster Hall. First time in seven years…

STEELE: You are the Devil in disguise…

KNAC.COM: I’m tellin’ ya. I love that s**t.

STEELE: Huh. I’m gonna try to go. I had met, uhh…

KNAC.COM: Andrew Eldritch?

STEELE: Yes, Andrew Eldritch. Met them. We had played a show with them in Germany, like ’97. And he was just like the nicest fuckin’ guy, man. He was really great. Made me feel right at home… had a drink with him… though he was busy with his, uh, situation… you know, there are always “situations� on tour…

KNAC.COM: (laughs)

STEELE: (yelling) �WHADDYA MEAN YOU COULDN’T GET THE COKE? GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!� You know… so Monday, hah? That sounds like that might be a done deal…

KNAC.COM: I’m going to get my ticket today…

STEELE: Webster Hall, huh? Who’s opening for them?

KNAC.COM: Uh, this band called “The Warlocks�…

STEELE: The Warlocks?

KNAC.COM: I’m not familiar with them. They’re kinda new I think…

STEELE: I guess like ‘Born-Again Christians� hah? Okay.

KNAC.COM: I think the Sisters take the stage around 9…

STEELE: Wow. That sounds really good. Monday night, huh? I might try to make it down there…

KNAC.COM: Yeah… something to think about.

STEELE: Absolutely.

Good to see Steele is back.

cheers Eric

Yeah, I'm looking forward to their new album.
You're welcome James!

T-O-N are a fave of mine, Hell! best concert I was at was them, Glasgow Garage c. 1997.

It snowed onstage and I wept during The Green Man.

perfect

Did you shed a tear? Hehe.
I didn't know they had played Green Man live.
Yeah, they're one of my favorite bands too.
I would love to hear them cover Lucretia.

Oh God no. Nothing against Type-O, they surely have their good sides. But a TSOM cover would show the yanks weaknesses just too clear.

T-O-N have done some great covers:
NIB
Summer Breeze
Day Tripper
Smells Like Teen Spirit
eh.....
and another one, two or three

I love their cover of Cinammon Girl (right spelling!?) on the October Rust album. Best song has to be Black No.1 though. Saw them in Leeds in 97 (I think) & that song sounded superb.

Nice to hear old big Pete likes .

and vice versa.

Eldritch did Type O the compliment of his attendance and saluted his bulky disciple backstage after their show on Reeperbahn.

@Blast: I know, I escpecially like their Black Sabbath version from the 'Nativity in Black' tribute , but we're talking about a TSOM cover. And they are doomed to fail when done by followers.

I saw TON at the Metro two summers ago and they gave me one of those nights to remember. They really got me with a majestic rendition of "World Coming Down"

I think the Dan Swanö version comes pretty close to what a TON cover would sound like.

Yeah I like Dan's version. Very heavy

Haven't seen Type O since 1995 or -96, on the October Rust tour. Saw them in 1994 or -95 and it was an amazing performance, the October Rust gig however, was extremely uninspired and not worth the money...

Would be fun to see them again some day!

Thanks, Eric, for the link!
