Glasperlenspiel and band lineup rumours

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Adam gone, does he need the hassle of forming a new band and starting again?

Maybe he is. Maybe he needs to have some rationale and understand where TSOM sit in the wider pop/rock world.

Which is somewhere down with the plankton
What if he knows exactly about the status of his band?
What if he had come down from his high horse long ago?
What if he desperately tries to find a record deal since awhile?

What if he just cant get one?

Would you dare to face your disappointed fans with all their expectations?

I’ll just have to sit this one out on the touchline with the half-time oranges and the fat wheezy boys with a note from matron, while you young bloods link arms for the glorious final scrum down.
;D

Are those the lyrics to the new Sisters song?

I can't see him, at age 46, wanting to form a whole new band. But you never know.

And yeah, TSOM doesn't sit anywhere in the pop/rock world, which might be what Von wants. This band is not picking up new fans--they're making a considerable effort not to pick up new fans.

I have no reason to believe anything will change, with or without Adam.

I hardly think so, as it only fires BB pellets!

Anyway, I have no faith in testimonies extracted under duress, nor do I think violence is the best way to encourage him to continue or desist...as he chooses.

How's he gonna know the difference? When someone has a gun against their head, proper etiquette is to submit, not to ask if it's real or whether it fires BBs.

You are forgiven. (Even though comparing it to Wide Receiver isn't exactly a bad thing, to many others it is, so I'll go with the majority. Just this once.)

And a message from a Sistersfan in RoboChrists guestbook (yesterday) about Chris joing the Sisters was quickly removed. They really want to keep it a secret do they? Can´t hardly sleep... oh yes i can!

and he's not answering emails along the lines

'hi chris

any chance of getting me some free tickets for the uk dates, and when are they btw? could you make it a weekend, as i can't be bothered using holiday days to travel to see the band

thx.'

which is a bummer ;D

i don't think he has joined, i think he is merely fulfilling a role and von can only afford one month, hence the july gig was cancelled. :wink:

I'm just hoping that Robochrist (should the rumours be true) will take on bass duties as Adam did. The idea of it all being done by the Doktor thrills me not.
I've not been able to find out anything about Chris 'Robochrist' playig with the Sisters yet and I know a few people who know him a lot better than i do, maybe it is not true?
