Black Angel

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.

Yep, a long way to go. Particulary with her by your side. But worth it I feel.

Discuss or ignore. :wink:

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

You mean they released an album? I thought they were just a novelty band chasing after the title of Silliest Song Ever. And they almost succeeded. :innocent:

Goes off to find Love.

nirvana's not as crap as revolution -all the others are cool....but black angel's the best drunken sing-along-chorus (especially the change at the end).

Yes, it's my favourite track on the album and perhaps my favourite Cult track.

:eek: :eek: 'Nirvana' is corking. They opened with it in 95 at Bradford - I almost shot my wad. :notworthy: Think they played Love as well. :notworthy:

Black Angel and Hollow Man ARE the standout tracks off the album though. Shame it all went tits-up a few years later.

Best Cult gig I saw - supporting GNR at Milton Keynes in 93 - in the p1ssing rain - short but heavy as fcuk set. Ace. 8)

Bought the recentish Live dvd...and promptly gave it away. :urff:

ahh...but i still enjoy it Dave :innocent: :wink: :lol:

i thought that i could get away without posting on a Cult thread...seems that i'm blighted again...

Nirvana is a corker for a live opener...and Big Neon Glitter has it's moments live too...but alas like Mistress EmmS i too have suffered at the hands of a couple of local cover pub bands completely fcuking up Sanctuary...


gonna go and sit in a corner now

*gets hat and coat...brrrr cold outside*
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,

F**k me, it was you wasn't it! Lovely, I had clean forgot who had been the recipient of that dvd, other than 'someone on here'.

Cool, glad it found a good home. Pardon my memory, people who know me (to any extent, Delilah :innocent: :lol: ) know to tolerate my lapses of concentration. :roll: :lol: Or at least understand them. :lol:

Pleasure to have blighted you so. :twisted: indirectly or otherwise. :wink:

Love is definately in my all time top 5 albums of all time, but for me Black Angel lets the album down.

Every other track on Love is so good (plus the b-sides of that era) that I fail to see how they came up with such a stinker as Black Angel.

20 years ago....... WOW

Actually a great year for albums.

F&L&A
What DOes Anything Mean Basically
Meat is Murder
Psychocandy
Love
World Service
This Nations Saving Grace
Songs to Learn & Sing (Not a 'real' album granted)

I still listen to them all on a regular basis.
Give me one good reason
