the merry thoughts

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Bloody hell. They do sound very much like the Sisters. And that voice is eerily familiar :eek:

And this is bloody scary :|

If the 2004 pic of "Marvin" didn't have hair, I'd be throwing conspiracy theories around now ;D

There must be a common denominator. Germany = high cheekbones, cowboy hats, sneering dismissal and sunglasses.

Downloading now...

dear oh dear. identikit sisters sounds with weedy guitars and a singer who tries so hard that he isnt actually able to let loose - he's too studied and self-consciously von-esque. there's no "him" in there. no power or feeling. he cannot howl or scream.

they're s**t.

There's some life, not much though... too studied and self-consciously von-esque - definitely!

they're s**t - nah, I wouldn't go that far...

I downloaded some of their stuff a while back, and haven't yet listened to enough of it to discern whether they are great or complete cack.

I'm in complete agreement with Erudite on this one - compared to the Sisters' amphetamine fuelled rock 'n' roll, Rosetta Stone churned out Nescafe-fuelled jingles, lacking in any power, passion or meaning.

Just my opinion, mind.

the two I could stand before hitting 'stop' sounded nowt like a certain English beat combo.

No redeeming factors, please move along.

Whoops, I've left it on the creaking heap of neolithic s**t I'm forced to call my workstation. According to The Boss, all this 'porn-surfing' is what's jiggered my machine.

And not the fact that it's running '98 without a service, overhaul, or defragment in the three years you've owned it? Shurely shome mishtake?

Is a wee box so you do not have to stop surfing if you need to go to the bathroom?

This is without a doubt the smartest thing I've ever seen written on this forum. It reflects THE WAY IT IS. There's no point in discussing them any further.


EDIT: Re: http://www.themerrythoughts.com/e/09mp.htm
Sweet fancy Moses, someone needs to cram a boot up the ass of this s**t. Or a gun.

EDIT 3: Damnable filters, that should be sh1tbag.

Put your fingers in your ears and you'd really think Bruce Dickenson was in the room with you.
I wonder what it sounds like backwards :twisted:

I like Andy TG's beard. Other than that, the muppet in the middle really doesn't look like AE.

Cheers, Mr. M!

Well,I daresay there are many Lou Reed/Cohen fans out there deriding Eldritch as a copyist..
I'm pissed out of my skull right now and have no reason to post..
