At least this site has been updated for the first time in 20 months..although the update seems to distill much of what has been discussed here. More power to Heartland's elbows

Quote: | The hot gossip out of Leeds 6 is that there will be a change to the band's line-up on this tour, with RoboChrist doing something or other. Whether this means that either Adam or Chris have called it a day is unclear. |
ahh, so its "out" on the web now is it?
this has been a rumour for a few days now... i've heard from 2 or 3 different sources that he will be replacing adam on guitar.

has chris actually signed on the dotted yet then?  _________________ the cake is a lie

He was in some way affiliated with AntiProduct? Right, that puts him on the "Good" list.  _________________ Danse Macabre |

If this guy is going to appear on stage I'll be collapsing in fits of hysterical laughter!
And I'll seriously consider finding myself another favourite band. There are limits, no matter whether he does play good music or not. _________________ Celebrations done, more to come, hopefully.

This Robochrist geezer played at my local the other week. He's quite an eccentric by all accounts - a sort of Jaz Coleman on speed...  |

But what I REALLY wanted to know, before I got distracted by this - er - well, what I wanted to know is:
Is there any official source, where Andrius will get the information from? I mean, it doesn't help me the slightest if I can read the same roumors on his site that I'll find here or wherever else. What I need are OFFICIAL CONFIRMATIONS from The Sisters. Will we get them on Andrius' site or on Glasperlenspiel or somewhere else?
Please, you people with the link to the Gods, can you let us know?
Thanks in advance!

The GPS folk seem to be pretty tight with Von, so anything they say can probably be considered to be pretty close to official. They should at least be able to get their info checked by the right people. |

Except the email addy on their site is no longer valid. Tried that one the other day, only to get a mail delivery failure reply.  |

Still, the gigs should be interesting with this robocop bloke on stage. Can you imagine him sharing a stage with in that get-up. He'd be mistaken for a stage invading punter and get tw**ted by Von's mikestand at Mera Luna
And as it seems Adam has left the band, I'd like to doff my cap in his direction. Longest serving, coolest stage presence, probably the best guitarist The Sisters have ever had. Shame he never got to record anything. Regardless, cheers Adam.  |

Yes, Adam was great, you're right, and it's a shame he left!
To Adam:
Cheers!

i'm interested.
whilst adam looked the part, and had the "walking backwards and forwards in and out of the smoke" thing down to a tee, he wasnt exactly an inspirational guitarist was he? workman-like i would call it. certainly no gary or wayne... or andreas or tim.
and if he is a bit of a nutter on stage maybe it will create a bit more of an atmosphere?
i'm looking forward to it  _________________ the cake is a lie

This bloke - Robo-whatever - might have a questionable appearance, but his fav music list includes the exquisite Strapping Young Lad.  |

Maybe, just maybe Eldritch might actually keep to his word and produce a Sisters that truly is an Industrial Groove Machine.. I mean the mans meant to be dabbling in music programming etc....
And let's face it, after heck knows how many years of not releasing a recordings, its definitely gonna have to be something totally different to stop some people comparing it to the past work.... _________________ You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye

If THIS is the same guy I'm far more confident and I won't have hysterical fits.
Now where's the icon for relief? _________________ Celebrations done, more to come, hopefully.

He has very similar hair/sideys to a guy that used to work behind the bar in Joseph's Well. But I don't think it is him. _________________ advanced, forthright, signifficant |

Some questions springs to my mind:
1. Has Adam left?
2. Says who?
And about Robochrist:
3. Doesn't this guy look lite a g*th?
4. This guy is a g*th, right?
5. If not, who is Andrew laughing at and making fun of at gigs? Black clothed people? Housewifes?
Is this a joke that I somewhat didn't catch.. !?
Ok, the first two questions if of most importance.  |
