I'm reeaallyy bored so I'll start with a DLS - Neil Diamond - love that man and almost everything he has ever done! Scary I know. I get ragged on all the time for it. Even scarier still, when I was a little girl I thought he was cute in the jazz singer but thankfully those "cute" images were replaced last year when I saw him live and he made out with this woman for like 5 minutes!!!!!!! He's like 60! YUK!!!!!

I've met a lot of bands but never the sisters

None, unless you count the Chameleons and some Danish goff band I met in Copenhagen whose name I couldn't even attempt to spell if I tried.

My memory doesn't go back that far. Possibly something by Adam and the Ants although I was pilfering Black Saddath albums from my brother at a very early age.

THE SISTERS OF MERCY, The Sisters Of Mercy, Sisters, The Sisterhood etc...
Siouxsie & The Banshees, Joy Division, Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub, Front 242, Rosetta Stone, Sex Gang Children, Xmal Deutschland, Skeletal Family, Alien Sex Fiend, London After Midnight, Depeche Mode, Switchblade Symphony, Kraftwerk, Death In June, Laibach, Inkubus Sukkubus, Duran Duran, Clan Of Xymox, The Crüxshadows, New Model Army, Vendemmian,The Merry Thoughts, Behind The Scenes, The Fall, Iggy Pop, Leather Nun, Vennaskond (an Estonian post-punk band), Hortus Musicus and Rondellus (2 Estonian bands making authentic medieval music), Deine Lakaien, Cassandra Complex, Die Krupps, Type O Negative (only album "Bloody Kisses" and a few other songs), Paradise Lost (only "One Second" and "Host"), Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Tricky (the last 3 + Siouxsie and Xmal... are also great favs of my wife), Machine In The Garden, The Doors, Blondie... and many more... did I say The Sisters?

What bands have people met/hung out with?

Do you mean greatest live-experiences? (Sorry if I don't understand everything OK)
For years it was New Model Army (in 1993) from one festival organized in Estonia from 1988 to... 1995?
There's not such kind of events here any more...
But NMA was really very powerful, even more (by my opinion) than Iggy Pop next year.
Very suggestive was Leather Nun in 1988(?) in the same fest.
2 years ago (in Leipzig, Germany, Wave-Gotik-Treffen fest) I saw accidentaly Sunshine Blind and it was fascinating.
There was also German EBM band Das Ich - very sick thing but their show was very impressive... Weird, sick and impressive...
In 1998 and 2001 Depeche Mode was in Estonia.
I saw them both times and both times the show satisfied me.
This year I saw finally THE SISTERS (at M'Era Luna).
Yeah... It was really great... far better others... I got nothing to say...
But I can't deny that Marc Almond was also a higher class... and London After Midnight was OK.

What was your first record/tape?
First tape?... Hard to say... When I was a teenager we share tapes with my brother... Maybe Alphaville in 1984?
But my first very own?... Maybe Judas Priest in 1987 ?

[Justj0hn]

What other bands/artists are people into?
The Swans, Foetus, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The
Chameleons, Einsturzende Neubauten, Skinny Puppy,
Dead Can Dance, Wolfgang Press, Throwing Muses,
Curve, Shriekback, The Cramps.....and many more.


What bands have people met/hung out with?
Uhhh, in '01 I interviewed Jim Thirlwell(Foetus)face to
face. Hell of a nice guy, thankfully.....I've heard many
a horror story concerning difficult interviews with him.
Such was not the case....great guy.

Doesn't count as hanging out but last year I nervously
shook Michael Gira's hand(after mustering up enough
guts to approach him)and squeezed it so hard that I
felt his finger joints creak. Then I thanked him
for "creating at least 2 decades worth of the most
devastating noise on record.....". Very pleasant in
person.

Tanya Donelly back in '92....touring the U.S. for the
first time as Belly. Gave her a key chain with a coffin
hanging from it that contained a tiny little skeleton all
in the spirit of Halloween which was just around the
corner. Then I offered her a mint. She nearly took one
until she realized they were Altoids, the curiously strong
mint. "Oh, uhhh.....nevermind, those make me high."
she said.

What was your first record/tape?

At the unripened age of 10, Close Encounters
soundtrack on cassette...played it constantly in the
car. Spent the bulk of the 80s musically devoid....only
2 cassettes I intermittently owned and borrowed were
Sweet Dreams(Are Made Of This)[Eurythmics] and
She's So Unusual[Cyndi Lauper]. Had a huge crush on
both Annie and Cyndi at a year shy of being
a "teenager".
