Von Moonlighting As German Crooner

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.

At least now we know what he's up to when he's not touring... :twisted:

For the Germanically impaired, the chap's called Heino. ;D

I think "Heinous" might be a bit more appropriate... :P

Somewhere in the realm of :notworthy: Mighty Vicus :notworthy: I read that fans gave a CD by Heino to :von: .
..it was said that he was not amused..
But why, oh why?

I'd love to hear :von: do Danny Boy on the next tour...

...actually, thinking about it, a cover album would solve a number of the problems related to recording songs by former band members. Some suggestions:

Hasta Manana Monsieur (Sparks)
Small Town Boy (Bronski Beat)
Free World (Kirsty MacColl)
In Your Room (The Bangles)
Fight for your Right (Beastie Boys)
Fade Away & Radiate (Blondie)

In that photo, Heino looks more like Max Headroom than Von.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

With his booming voice, bright blonde hair, and ever present sunglasses, Heino is considered a national treasure in his native Germany, and an icon of kitsch in the English-speaking world
The only surprise is that anyone's surprised. :lol:

Von's "mysterious" "techno" "albums" my arse. Now we know.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Unless he has a wardrobe full of them, I do believe it is.
