Nephilim Tour Cancelled?

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.

Kudos to your avatar of the delectable Poison Ivy, radiojamaica. :notworthy:

As for the Neffs: I try to get more infos on the cancellation from my friend from SPV.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

NFD are suprisingly good for a band which sound almost entirely unorigonal. I like their new poppier, grittier take on the nephilim sound. I have No Love Lost (with live cd) a good album, favourate track is turbines.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

Got me tickets for the Krefeld gig last week...was excited as hell..now this pile of s**t....GRRRRRRRR!!!!!! And yes..it probably IS good ol' Carl not being able to get a band together that can even remotely pull off Mourning Sun live. One thought that crossed my mind is that it might have been Tony agreeing to do the live shows in the same way they did in 2000 and him backing out in the end. But then...could have been anything..

I'm getting increasingly used to this. The Nephs were about to tour in '92 when they dissolved the band instead. I was going to see the Nefilim show in Stockholm in '96, but then McCoy "disappeared". I went to the Arvika festival in 2000 for the reformed FotN, but they cancelled due to the drummer having injured himself the day before. Needless to say, I hadn't really got my hopes up too much this time.

Considering most of Mourning Sun was samples and keyboards, what does he actually need a band for? Not having a band never stopped Eldritch.. :innocent:
Maybe McC is working on the video he was talking about. That was meant to be on the special edition of the album. But wasn't. Then was scrapped altogether. Then another song was chosen for the video. Then....

my guess is that it's not so much McCoy being an ultra perfectionist (at least in this instance); if that were the case , I reckon that the cancellation of the tour would have happened a lot closer to the time of the gigs.

More likely, some critical aspect of the band either is just not good enough, or there have been "personality differences" - and with just two months or so to go, maybe it's a bit short notice to get someone in to do the songs justice.

Pettitt, Wright, Yates and Wright not withstanding of course!

Perhaps Carl should be commended for is ability to craft statements
to his fans that tell them precisely nothing at all about the reasons
for a tour being cancelled.

In fact I think that's almost as good as Andrews Legendry explanation
for not releasing "summer" and a chain of independent records:
"What with one thing and another, it wasn't to be." Magic. ;D

f**k, f**k again, and f**k some more !
I'm back on HL after a two week break and this is what I find. Gutted.

Now in all seriousness I can't really say I missed you boys and girls very much since I had such a great time, but still it's nice to be back home. :P :wink: 8)

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Same here. I could get them to change the lightbulb while they're up there.

(Cue the "how many Goths does it take to change a lightbulb" joke...)
