At the risk of another deluge of "record another flaming album!" posts, I thought this would be fun

Knowing what you know today, if you could travel back in time to 1981, what would you tell Andrew/ The Sisters Of Mercy?

Over to you........

Don't sign to WEA!

seconded but, i would go another way by constantly wishpering in his earduring chemistry classes: "gave your music for free via computer, yeah in about 25 years everyone will have personal computer in their home and will connect with anyone in the wurld using Internet, so go and give your music for free, be first who'll do that".

Don't let the goose in the post-production lab have at Wake.

Your second album will be a masterpiece.

Think very hard about cover art that does it justice

Seconded, they are a fat US entertainment company ... they will always put "political" interests over your existence and what you are doing does challenge not only their basis. Maybe you think you can force them into paying you for keeping your mouth shut, but a) they will pay you more properly than you might imagine, b) add a few deadly "surprises" on top and c) you can't keep your mouth shut, anyway ... and err ... are they not tapping your telephone?

In 1993, I'd have said: Talk to me!!! I can spare you a good deal of hard times at various levels ...

But hell, that went thoroughly wrong and by now you've got there somehow in most respects and for the rest (of what I can remember) I'm sure you'll be doing that (and more) as well ... ...

I'm a bit puzzled by this...

So. It has come to this. Time travel fantasies.

I'm going to go listen to a band that makes records.

You do that, I'm gonna sit here listening to live versions of reptile house songs.

Don't participate in a song called Will I Dream

Why? It's always seemed a logical consequence to me back in the 80ies.
Maybe because over here in Germany, we, i.e. almost every non-conformist, were always under suspicion due to the cold war, the RAF and lots of other stuff. Remember laws like the "Radikalenerlass" prohibiting people with undesired views from a variety of professions like in education and so on...
Also I'm convinced that some interested circles actively undermined part of the so-called hippie movement by various measures including feeding them with drugs and contorting certain achievements towards their own interest in the long run, like for example the so-called sexual revolution ...
Don't know whether this makes it clearer for you, though ...

... we hopefully will. For so long, I'm going to listen to a band that plays great rocking concerts ... ...

You know, I sincerely love your optimism. I really do.

You know that tape?
Take the drums off it. That'll p*ss them off

"Why not go back to uni and finish your Chinese degree ? That way, in thirty years time when China rules the world economically you'll be a multi-millionnaire, and I'll be able to live a normal life instead of spending thirty years obsessing about the world's greatest ever rock band."
