Ben and Dylan must have noticed we found it already maybe - they have both put it on instagram now. :lol:

Pic taken by Dylan's girlfriend.

"Spare us a shekel for an old g*thic overlord"

Sorry, been one of those days, in fact that could be the, admittedly, unwieldy tour name.

Heh. I have the same jacket as our glorious leader. But he probably didn't buy it in Primark. :von: :lol:

Ace photo, where did you see this Lee? Leathered up and raring to go, just missing a top hat ;D

edit : scratch that question, just seen the other thread.

Careful, the OGL moniker was awarded to Wayne many years ago on the MWIS forum.

It's a Levi denim jacket isn't it? Or a "wrangler" like we used to call them, no matter what the brand, back in the day on the Wirral.

For reasons unbeknownst it seems odd to still be enamoured of such a thing, aged 50 and all, but yep they sure as f**k do. Ravey rocking the 'who in their right minds only wears one jacket?' look :notworthy:

Question - is Von standing on a box or is Ravey equally titchy?

Regarding a height query above.

Looks like southerners who spend too long in Leeds start shrinking.

also good to see Ravey being recognised as a band member- the first Nurse to be so honoured,. :notworthy:

EDIT: i wrote "The Sisters Of Mercy- fuck all the haters" as a comment to Ben's posting the pic and got a 'like' from Mr.Christo. I am nearly 50 and probably old enough to be his dad but it made my day. :von:

I'd say shorter than Von by an inch or two, he really is tiny.

News to me too, wow I thought he was as Leeds as it gets. Erm, apologies, Mr Davey. Well, it's not where you're from it's where you're at, and Ravey Davey Gravy is definitely there :notworthy:

The most I've seen them look like a band since the early 90's. :D

They look f**king iconic. New album... INCOMING!

Haven't been this excited since... well, you don't need to hear about that. I should know better than to get my hopes up, but, f**k it... hopes are up!

I love this photo but there's a small part of me wishing that while everyone else was being serious, Dave was waving his arms, jumping up and grinning, that would be epic!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This is just outstanding.
My heart genuinely skipped when I saw it. Far too exciting - but also sort of like 'yes, this is how things should be'. I'm sure there is a suitable German word for that feeling.......

That gang mentality of being in a band - we haven’t seen that for a long time from the Sisters. It's really quite moving to see that in the current live band... a proper band, and proud of it. f**king awesome. Gawd bless 'em.
