  • Took some guts to film this in that vast indian cotton mill back in the 80s

    Can you imagine what all those indian paupers thought about this strange bare chested leather clad apparition flailing a 4 ft metal rod

    Andrew Eldritch striking these portentous pronouncements about ecology and the dwindling western influence way back when the country was in thrall to fucking stock aitken and waterman

    People like Eldritch putting their heads above the parapit while the rest had our heads in the sand

  • SISTERS RULES

  • Still good after all these years. Let's get undressed

  • Eldritch = GENIUS... BTW this video was shot in India back in the 80's in a cotton mill and local metro trains !!

  • Bring back Dr Avalanche. Iv'e followed the sisters of mercy from the very beginning in those dark days in Leeds. 

  • if Rammstein were from the 80s

  • Saw him Halloween 2005. Really dreadful. Tape machine behind the amps, a guitar player and so much fog. He changed the arrangements of the songs and you could barely make them out. It was dreadful.

  • @Jimmibear13 I saw Sisters in 1990 and was disappointed despite the fact that I was madly in love with them - and Eldritch ;)

  • Between SoM and Bauhaus, I don't think I need anything else (maybe the Clash)

  • Ah I missed tickets to the melbourne show! Anyone who wants to sell me one, I'll happily pay twice three times the price

  • I m thinking this is best goth\indastrial band jf 80s...Perhaps and 90s and 00s....

    Greetings from mother Russia

  • Fantastic live. Eldritch has still got it. Got limited post cards designed by him at the Leeds University gig, along with a cup cake...Lol. Talk about blast from the past.

  • Awsome song!!

  • wird zeit das der bursche live nach dortmund kommt^^^

  • WOw. I am totally straight, but I would let von bum me. Just him, oh and Johnny Depp.

  • @koggi242 u & me both--oh, i'm a girl

  • @koggi242 Yeah...I think "totally straight" doesn't mean what you think it means. Pretty sure you're g a y as hell koggi. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

  • epic !!

    

  • Quality...Mr Eldritch is so cool. Michael Jackson????!!!! For fucks sake, borzch1, stop smoking those dodgy cigarettes. The Sisters of Mercy are legendary. MJ, well....no comment.

  • @ALotofWind MJ was a legendary kiddie-fiddler =;o)

  • @jokernet13 he definately kiddled a few fiddies like, i was there

  • This still looks ten times more credible, than any of those modern cocksucking-vampires-series... And of of course this is more about the music, not cock-sucking OR vampires, so go listen to your JB and watch Twilight or what ever, if you dont like this.

  • @ollijun XD u've got reason!!!!Twilight, JB (and the fuckin' assholes tokio hotel also) are only commercial shit!Twilight's fake alternative..

  • ist kult

    

  • This guy looks like Michael Jackson

  • One of those songs that has to be played loud, preferably in an underlit, smoky club

  • metal stick? check.

    black aviators? check

    shirtless? check

    ....and Andrew's ready to shoot another video.

  • Охуительная вещица

  • @wolfboy2423 The video by itself is undoubtedly silly by today's standards. Does your wise ass care to elaborate on what's wrong with the MUSIC? 3/10 because I'm honestly not sure if troll or not.

  • @wolfboy2423 after saw "Bruno Mars" on your profile, my brain told me to read your comment as a joke and not a critic.

  • @wolfboy2423 LMAOO ur such a silly kid

  • the never ending beat, it just hypnotizes me, i must get up and dance like an alternative idiot when i hear this song

  • The girl looks like a man in the thumbnail :/

  • yessssssssssssssssssss! :-)))

  • I remember the Sisters opening an edition of Top of the Pops with this track in 1987.A superb song now as it was then.

  • Really good music. Not plastic. They really felt what they've done.

  • How on earth can you dislike this? This is MUSIC, man!!!

  • Oh my god, I have the worst stomach ache of my life right now but I don't want to get up and not hear this song for the next 10 minutes I'll be in the bathroom. I'll just wait it out for 4 minutes. God help me.

  • Isso sim é som de elite!!!

  • 194 people took the wrong pill, and are still clueless sheep;.. plugged in the Matrix.

  • When I hear music like this; I kind of feel like Neo did when he suspected that everything around him was without real substance, falsified, and controlled in the Matrix. Music being fed to us today, makes us feel trapped in the Matrix; and listening to real music; like The Sisters Of Mercy, is like accepting the pill that Morpheus offers;...The Truth;..to show us; like Alice in Wonderland...how deep the rabbit hole goes...see you all at the bottom!

  • 3.00 <3

  • i would give a lot to be living around the 80's. With good music. unlike most shit today

  • @metalerz666 There was shit around then, believe me! Trouble is now just about 100% of stuff is shit. Nothing really original just fucking samples,shit covers,awful R&B & the shite called rap! Also young people are all the same. All bland & no diverse youth cultures to express yourself with. All sports wear & designer labels. Even so called'Goths' are manufactured!

  • @metalerz666 I did live around then. I'm so pleased to see younger folks recognizing the originality of that period. I was lucky to have lived and worked around the music industry at this time. But do realize that Sisters of Mercy were VERY much underexposed back then. The popular stuff was just as much shit as now. In fact, I smile when I listen to radio stations like Jack-FM playing, sadly, not Sisters of Mercy, but stuff like The Church that was most assuredly NOT played on radio then.,

  • @Peachesdamule understandable, I belong to the culture that never hear their music anywhere but in their own speakers or headphones. But I like it that way, if they aren't played on the radio they don't get that much comersial, and i like that

  • @metalerz666 In some ways I think your culture has it better in the sense that you can get exposure more easily to amazing music like this, that we had to dig for. But that having been said, I'm really thankful that I lived during this time and got to experience it "real time." Listening tonight to more SOM -- I'll be dammed if Eldritch's ego isn't well deserved...INCREDIBLE music. So emotionally probing in really reaching inside the listener and creating an intense, surreal mood.

  • What ? hard metal and methadrine ?????

  • @vylkyl "Hot metal and Methedrine..."—another name for methamphetamine. Hot metal could be in reference to heating the spoon, though this song has many interpretations due to its metaphoric lyrics.

  • 2012 : Sisters of Mercy in Argentina !

  • "Get down. Get undressed"

  • He looks so much like Red Skull.

  • Love this band!!! Love their style, lyrics, rhythm....everything!!! I wish they would comeback with some new music!!!

    

  • Andy with his 1980's haircut ;)

  • If I worked in a factory

    um

    

  • I always have the certain feeling that if Sisters Of Mercy were currently a new band, now that vampires, zombies and the gothic is so popular btw kids, they would sell milions and milions.

  • superb but the volume and video stopped and didnt start again just as i was getting into it heavily.its the 3rd time i've watched.i wish i had got into the sisters earlier.can you reccommend anything else by them.dark,i know what the stalking things about.shades and gothic hints.i must hear more.it's wicked. f````````` wicked.chemicalmessenger1

  • everything is gothic,everything is good!

    The Sisters Of Mercy!!!

  • Patricia Morrison is my Lucretia, YUM! And she rocks on the bass!

  • Fuck ! When I heard that song ... love that one

  • seriously this CD, CT, and S&B have inspired me with the bass... good bands and good bass lines.

  • I'm curious as to how this has been viewed 3.5 million times.

    Someone explain, please.

  • @bodiegod God has good taste of music, his angels too :)

  • that woman is beautiful.........

  • @rustybuckets07 I'm sorry to tell you so but then you're gay. Or at least bisexual. Not that I care :)

  • @CasketJoe..comment got thumbs up from 5 people smarter than you.

    They understand 'IRONY'.

    To you irony is just a way to describe something 'metally'

    Not that I care :)

  • @rustybuckets07 I was just trying to help you with your sexual dilemma and this is how you thank me!? What a brave new world... :D

  • @CasketJoe LOL..thanks Joe ..don't think it wasn't appreciated

  • @rustybuckets07 Just a joke man, no hard feelings! :)

  • @SheikhTaqiyyameister OK.Beardy knob.

  • @rustybuckets07 I know what you mean! Must have some bisexual genes spinning around. Hehe!

  • gaga = suck

  • Listen to Warrel Dane's cover of this song. Trust me.

  • That's how a goth should look like. Totally badass!

  • I didn't know young Stephen King was in a band.

  • always had that feeling mum was up to something,when i was traveling

  • its been along time since ive listened to them...but i still love them.love his voice!.

  • This reminds me of my childhood (the good parts).

  • Mr Eldritch loves his DR DRUM!

  • Comment removed

  • i can't stop watching this

    

  • i just started crying.... because this reminds me how bad modern music is god damn it!

  • @xxatthescenexx if you think this is good, i fear for you.

  • @Jlipnicki Shhh, you're probably 14 years old.

  • @xxatthescenexx Ever listened to Pure Reason Revolution or Porcupine Tree? There are some good bands out there continuing the legacy.

  • Neo has never been considered an underground club. Not even 30 years ago. It's not as popular as it was in the 80s, only because back then there were so few clubs in the Chicago area playing the European dance music that attracted the crowds. If it's considered "underground" now it only means they are losing business and have more competition in the area and less people who are coming into Neo.

  • Once again I find myself creeping on the Gothic youtube area!

  • @RenixCherokee I'm with you mate. I try to resist but it always calls to me.

  • @whitenoiseization Chicago, IL.....USA....It is an underground club that still plays REAL music ;) You walk down a back alley and through a shitty door and it looks like a dungeon/bnasement but it is the BEST nightclub I have ever been to. It is called "NEO." It is Chicago's oldest nightclub. They play all the darkwave from the 80's and up. Beborn Beton, KMFDM, Bauhaus, MLWTTKK..... on the list goes. It is my home away from home.....good times!

  • Stop the world! I'm staying in the 80s

  • Get down, get undress...

  • uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • Bass! Music without bass is like a zombie without a heartbeat.

  • Who is the lady in this clip ?

  • @LazyGigolo Patricia Morrison. Not the same one that "married" Jim Morrison.

  • @LazyGigolo  Patricia morrison - married to Dave Vanian of the Damned and mother to Emily

  • Also Pat Bag, no? L.A. punk scene?

  • @LazyGigolo that's a LADY?! thought it was a guy in drag.

  • What was she doin with that dick?

  • Who the fuck reads Shelley anyway? Mad, bad and dangerous, for sure, not like like this tool.

  • @philsavory too many likes, you cock. And I'd rather read the French shit that was available. Voltaire, at a pinch, but for a good Sherbet, you've got to be talking de Sade.

  • Mercy of me!!!!!! This is great!!|!!!.......SISTERS OF MERCY FOREVER

  • Saw them live last sunday! best sunday of my life!

  • Apocalyptic song

  • I listen to a lot of Death Metal, but there will always be a spot for Sisters of Mercy.

  • muito fajuto

  • Michael went to the surgeon with a picture of Eldrich. The story tells that Michael was in love with him, and tried to get in touch with but Eldrich was straight and didn't like pop music. So Michael had an idea...so that he could be more intimate with Eldrich that anybody could dream.

  • @LeChatAlice I can't believe I've never noticed that MJ's dermatological fiasco is effectively a quasi-permanent Eldritch costume.

  • GREAT SONG!

  • This song has a lot of energy ... fantastic group

  • newsflash Michael Jackson is the lead singer of the sisters of mercy.

  • is it just me or does this guy look like the late michael jackson?

  • @SynthHappens Yes, he looks like Michael Jackson.. after he's been burried for a few months...

  • Is this dude the coolest mofo ever or what? Motorcycle jacket, aviators, pimp cane, no shirt...

  • Im pretty sure goth is defined by the bass haha

  • @BrightGreyful Nope, its defined the amount of darkness element to the lyric theme.....the heavy background bass is just backing that darkness of the lyrics.

  • I just copied and pasted the shit another user by the name @DeathMetal6907 said

    Yeah elitist don't always know wtf they're talking about. Everybody just look what this guy said.

  • saw these the other night, still as good as ever
