New interview in Spanish here prior to Argentina: http://www.si.clarin.com/antiheroe_0_659934215.html
Nothing new really, but this is what "google translate" made of it :
Lover of Motörhead, Ramones and dubstep fan!, Andrew Eldritch was one of the top names in dark move ochentosa though he comes off the old label. "It's only for people interested in that and we are not," he says, from Leeds, vocalist for the Yes!
Eternal sunglasses, peeled and somewhat cryptic lyrics (is the Indian of the gothic rock?), Eldritch strives since 1983 in women's names to put some of their songs, do cases?, The Primal Alice, Marian, We Are The Same Susanne or ultraclásico Lucretia My Reflection. "They represent aspects of them and they remind me of some I knew, but there is no subject on a complete woman. My girlfriends told me 'why do not you write a song about me?' And I thought, 'No, no, no, to destroy the relationship that's for sure (laughs) "acid distilled with British humor.
In 1992, The Sisters of Mercy took the compilation Some Girls Wander By Mistake and two years before Vision Thing, the most powerful of his career. And live, Andrew sings many issues that have not yet seen the light.
- Why so long to release a new album?
-No need to do, from time to time recorded material. It's funny though is a very long and the band is doing very well without it.
And also change the structure of classical music as "Detonation Boulevard"
-The members of the band (Chris, Ben and Simon) think that our best-known songs sound better when played like the original disks. So I think we should change them.
- What were you looking when you included Ben, Chris and Simon in The Sisters of Mercy?
-It helped that they were smart, they were not addicted to heroin. It helped to play. Chris had the added advantage of speaking several languages. This is very useful for the band.
Still, you use your old "Doktor Avalanche". All we know is the name of your drum machine. Why is it called so?
-For a Swiss football player, I do not remember, was long ago. It is not the same machine. Technology change, but still a machine, part of the band.
- How would you define gothic rock and what is the main difference between this culture and music, since you are considered a rock band but not goth rock?
I have no idea, I see movies.
- What?
-Above all, science fiction movies and Japanese. The coming of Hollywood are generally very boring. I look very good Japanese films, Korean. Also Mexican and Nigerian. Many science fiction.
-For many years you denied being part of the gothic rock scene, although in my User Input, you were the sponsor of that style. But you played at two festivals of that culture: the Moon and Amphi M'era Fest. Why did you do?
'We went because we stupidly paid well and because the list of performers was very diverse. We played at many festivals, you know? Even with Frank Zappa. We're in this for a long time.
And if you offer to participate in the Wave Gotik Treffen, would you accept?
-We always offered and always said no. Never'll play there. If we were the godparents of a fashion movement, probably participarÃamos. But we are not, and we did not.
- What do you think of the controversial laws SOUP, ACTA and PIPA on the Internet?
- SOUP? I feel stupid. Not even a practical idea. It's something you can not run. And if it worked, as would be stupid. But would not work, would be even more stupid. I am sure that sooner or later, someone with good judgment will veto the law again.
- Would you change this law, with a particular term?
The problem is that the only people who can propose these laws alone can convince lawmakers, are the big media companies that are in big trouble because they are all useless. I hate them. If I propose something, nobody will listen.
- Do you have a side project to The Sisters of Mercy?
-I did some things, but If I did things with other names would be because I want to do things with other names. And I'd give you those names, then my plan would have failed (laughter).
- And what you think of music journalism?
-I have no opinion, because I do not give interviews. They are not necessary for me. The only time that the developer asked me to give an interview is when we go to a country not known, then the promoter is a little scared, do not have enough experience, and says, "Listen, Andrew, I need to give an interview for my country. " If I play in London, I do interviews. Neither in Germany, Poland. Not necessary. If I have something to say, I get on the website. My job is to write songs, not explain them. It's your job to explain, not mine.
In your website is defined as "intellectual love gods", why?
-Because we love reading, love sex and we like the sexy girls who love to read (laughs).
- How would you want it to be remembered the band The Sisters of Mercy in the future?
I do not know. I wish that some of the songs are remembered. Even when the songs are not good, yet we work hard trying to get it right. So I would like us to be remembered for trying. Personally, I'm not interested. I want to live in peace and privacy. I hate to be the center of attention. So if anyone remembers me as a person, not a problem for me.
'Perhaps you think more closely to the science-fiction superhero that the singer of rock n' roll.
Well, in science fiction there are many anti-heroes. And maybe I am one (laughs).
"Vocalist for the Yes !"

"Vocalist for the Yes !"
basicly says that the members of the band think that the songs sound better when they play like the studio ones, and it because 
...
... that should be about it ...
