Hi check this out...

http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/2006/02/09/noise.html

Just thought some might be interested...
P.S. Where's the new album... Been waiting for 13 years now and getting pissed off... Waiting quietly and seeing the new tour... I think it may be time to pipe up... Ever thought about adding New Zealand to the tour list Mr Bux...
P.S If you ever need anyone to fly the corporate jet look me up...

Cheers

Surekill

... and we wait in vain.

Nice link though

Thanks for the link

That 3rd question is one of the boring kind though.....wouldn't be my choice to ask that...

Thanks for that

Lovely up to date picture by the way

cheers for that
didn't some journo on the SBTSB thread say no interviews were being granted....? he's obviously writing for some darkling rag that von wouldn't wipe his elbow with.

I asked it and yes that was the answer...."no interviews this tour".

Good work, nice link

It's good to hear he appreciates good drummers, like the almighty Budgie.

It's not quite like the rest of the planet. And it's a fantastic place to spend one's birthday, particularly if one's coming straight from an English winter.

surely Baghdad would have been more outrageous, and had that certain edge over Las Vegas?

That would have been it! Add a Blitzkrieg Bop cover to the setllist, and the party starts!!

I love how 'the band' is 25 years old, according the Von (a band birthday), you know 'they' put him in the front, etc, etc. It's not 'his' band or anyhing, at all.

He doesn't know why they haven't toured the USA since '99? Lack of promoters? Money? Tough to tour in the land of Clear Channel? No product?

Haven't seen a peep anywhere regarding shows here yet...the Village Voice carries the Webster Hall shows page, not even a logo for The Sisters though (at least they wrote The Sisters).

consider yourself stabbed Electrochrome

Ack!

25 years would indeed be a marker if the "band" had actually done anything for at least half of those years!But as it stands It's a bit like saying "25 years of Strawberry Switchblade".

being critical of the sisters is of course "allowed" when it comes from heartlanders- but is it just me or are they some of "us" who constantly moan/whinge/slag them off? i don't know why they don't go somewhere that they do like the subject under discussion.

I have to agree, I'm affraid folks. Criticism is okay, and none other than healthy IMHO, and the humorsome way many among us deal with the Sisters is one of the things that make me absolutely love to be a fanatic, but if you just come on here to air off the frustration you got because they haven't released an album the last couple of centuries/didn't play in your shitty hole of choice this year or any year before: There are other places to do that...

Aye...

its not like we don't have cause Lee, be honest if it wasn't for this place keeping things alive, we'd all be somewhat more jaded

i agree on both points james -but there are some people who revel in the downside of it all and haven't got a good thing to say when something positive does happen.

That sounds very Goth to me!

*run awaaaaaaayyy!!*

IZ.

If that was directed at me..
I'm perfectly willing to admit the brilliance of The Sisters,as and when they are.FALAA is almost permanently on my cd player,and I think "We are the same,Susanne" has the most addictive guitar lick since "Sweet child o' mine" by GnR.
But...
The band seem to be an almost pure "for the money" outfit these days.You may well be willing to hear the same setlist many years in a row,but I'm not!!
The band could be something special,and as is,seem to be on auto-pilot.When something happens that's worth celebrating,I'll be amongst the rest of you cheeering,but as is,I see no reason to celebrate a case of same old,same old.

I don't really get all this logic about being "out for the money".

As it is, they havn't released a sodding thing in years and years,
and yet play a load of new songs that havn't been made commercially
available, but apparently that being 'out for money'....

If they released a new album every year, did a shed load of world
tours and merchandise, then would that NOT be being 'out for the money' ??

Vision Thing was probably the last thing he did because of the money, (I mean musical concessions therein for the US market) but every band tried this at one point of their career. Otherwise TSOM is a fine example for artistic integrity rather than for a cash-machine.
Just imagine on how many Goth-festivals they could cash in if it wasn't for this little word.

AE might be a bit eccentric but he never sold out.
