at some point stating that he'd never play France.Money or bread and cheese? The French have mighty fine bread and some awesome cheeses; Camembert, Brie, Le Brique, Boursin and many more. Great Pate too, I love french food and I can get a better cheese there than here so frequent trips have to be done. I think its the cheese and bread, got to be.Pista wrote:Hello & welcome
I seem to recall
Can't recall why the change of heart in 2006 though.
Well, that Severn bridge toll is a bit steep.Drsisters wrote:He only played Wales once, wonder why

That's really true, isn't it czuczu?

Eldritch smiles in one direction and plots in another. His latest scheme is a Sisters Of Mercy DIY flood kit so he can submerge countries of his choice.
"I think I might have to reinvent America and put a big lake where Los Angeles stands. I was going to put a map on the back of the album, and redraw the world according to the Sisters Of Mercy. Norway? Ocean. France? Ocean. There'd be nothing but water between Calais and Iberia. France and L.A. would be drowned for the common good of mankind. Perhaps I should get rid of the French bits of Canada in the first phase as well."
Looks like he had serious issues about France once upon time"Europe looks brilliant without France on it. It really enforces the identity of Britain as an island. In fact, instead of the promotional ads for the album on telly, I should put Euro-tunnel-type ads on. People could buy shares in the Flood France Conglomerate. I had thought of putting the women somewhere safe first, and then moving in. I don't mind French women. Perhaps a chemical attack on the male chromosomes. It would have to be pretty strong stuff because you know what those French chromosomes are like.
"I refuse point-blank to do business with anyone in France, ever. The band has never played there. The band will never play there. I have never exported a single record or done one interview for the French. I believe 'This Corrosion' has made some money over there and I fully intend to send the royalties back. I think it's the sort of gesture we all ought to make. They're a miserable consumptive race that revels in despair. Even their language is really great at expressing that pathetic shrug of the shoulders that English has no use for.
Thanks for the link, but what an embarrassing read. I probably thought it was cool when I first read it in the 90s, but now it just screams of a jerk trying hard to be even more arrogant than he already is. I don't think Von of 2016 would enjoy it either. The same goes for that "Off Beat" interview in German from the same era.
is a much wiser man nowadays. The sad thing is, we will probably have very little lyrics from his older, wiser days. This is actually one of the worst things with him having stopped writing songs, or at least singing them.

Well, they don't release any records since 93, but at least some interviews have become better, and

yeah, besides that whole thing, i guess a lot of those were said half jokingly and half for the eldritch persona's benefitmarkfiend wrote:I think that any interview that Eldritch did in the Floodland era needs to be taken with a large pinch of [s]cocaine[/s] salt.
