  • ich habe diese band schon geliebt da habt ihr alle noch in die windeln geschissen!

  • PATRICA MORRISON!

  • Play this tune when a severe storm is about to hit! watch the lightening! AWESOME!

  • Espero con ansias el concierto!!!!

  • Its so hard to listen to their music after I saw them live and Andrew went into "primadonna bitch mode" and refused to play the show without his beloved fog machines, (which the fire marshall said they needed to turn off) and cancelled the rest of the show. We drove an hour to see them, and what did we get? The jerk took our money and left us stranded without any entertainment. No refunds were offered or anything.

  • Oh my God.. I feel so sorry for you :(

  • yeah, he sucks, but we ran into some folks that drove from roanoke to see them which is THREE hours away, you can bet they were even more pissed than we were. Andrew's been known to be a douche from time to time anyway, from what i have been told.

  • Im in love with theyr music/style and all about them!

  • damn! that sexy motherfucker!

  • Lol!!

  • This song rocks

  • Trent Reznor owes a lot to the Sisters!

  • Great composition, great visuals, euphoric, powerful, melodic... cant ask for much more in a song or an artist!

  • the version of in extremo is good too maybe you shoud try it

  • I like inextremo and I think they did a good version of this song but I think it doesnt feel right on the album a bit out of place

  • YEAH, TOTALLY AGREE

  • Yeah, I LOVE their version.

  • We need the 11 minute version!

  • Great song too bad your scam sucks dog cock...

  • what I wouldnt give for a roll-in-zee-hay with Patricia!! Even today she is still smokin hot! Sorry Dave....

  • she reminds me of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror....thats just wrong man....just wrong

  • this song is fucking amazing

  • i agree! i very like it...

  • Fuck Eveyone who talks shit about SOM. My brother and sister were "goth" in the 80's, before it was cool to be a "tortured soul". SOM was one of my first CD's in the 90's and I still love'em today :p

  • You guys crack me up lol. Andrew Eldritch was never a goth in the first place and is said to hate goth music anyway, and was just as happy making those Utah Saints techno albums in the 90s. Personally I liked 'em both, don't be so quick to label. Talented guy. Whatever he wears to work ;)

  • SOM are so awesome. Too bad they aren't "goth" enough for some of you elitist fuckheads. You're prolly missing out on a lot of other great bands too, lol.

  • what is more goth than this band, song and video? I would like to know goth elitists?

  • oh fuck off the lot of you. it's good music. stop your pathetic labelling and enjoy. jeez puttin things in boxes you put yourselves in boxes. getover yourselves you wannabe freaks.

  • Couldn't have said it better!

  • I used to love this, I had the 12" vinyl version - fantastic!!

  • ...ergh some strange dispute, i really don't like to talk about, like this"... is true metal or goth, oh no this is sell out! -that was real

    ...bullshit

    everybody in "art business" try to be on focus, what would they be without your attention ?

    is this sell-out?

    in other way maybe they just sing on the shower, ...hey now, hey now, now...

  • fuck he looks like terminator

  • no goth shit here..pure hard music

  • pure hard rock omg ....

    This is gothic rock new school is a bit mixed with hard rock but still gothic rock

  • didnt say hard rock..said hard music..its different..what ever you label it..its excellent

  • Um, this IS Goth. It's the *epitome* of Goth--along with Sex Gang Children, Christian Death, Specimen, etc. All of Sisters of Mercy's music (with the exception of the "Vision Thing" fiasco) has been and will always be played consistently in Goth clubs since the 80s. A Goth club without the Sisters isn't a Goth club at all. --Where some people get their information...lol...

  • specimen was know as batcave music of the early 90s.along with alien sex fiend..ect was in and out..I lived the 80s..so its not getting info its living it..great music what ever you label it

  • You are wrong. The Batcave was an 80s phenomenon launched in England & was frequented by Andi Sex Gang, Marc Almond, Boy George, etc. This is *common* knowledge. You couldn't be more wrong. You're not just wrong. You're lying.

  • sorry ment 80s...im getting old..time flys

    When the Batcave opened in July 1982, it was not intended to be a "goth" night, nor were the existing "goth" bands high on the playlist. Instead, it was seen as a reinvention of Bowie-style glam, but with a darker, horror-type twist. As it happened, this fitted in very well with what some of the "goth" bands like Bauhaus were doing, members of such goth bands frequented the club and eventually it became the prototype goth club.

  • The Batcave was founded by Ollie of Specimen in 1982. Specimen as well as other blatantly billed Goth bands were regular headliners. Batcave had absolutely nothing to do with Glam, Bowie-influenced or otherwise. Batcave had absolutely everything to do with Goth. Again, you are wrong. Um...Google. Wiki. It's all there. You are trying to re-invent history to suit your own version of reality. It's not working.

  • stop quoting wilk..please..word for word..keep googling and youll see the answers

  • I'm exposing your pseudo knowledge on Gothic music history. Nothing more. Nothing less. You're having trouble accepting reality. That's okay. You'll get it eventually. It may take several lifetimes but everyone learns on their own schedule. I quoted no sources. I know the facts, therefore there is no need to quote. I repeat, you are trying to reinvent history to suit your own version of reality. It's still not working. And stop with the plebian distraction tactics. They're not working either.

  • directly from wikep asshole..you quoted directly word for word..note about the glam comment asswell

    The club opened in July 1982. Originally specialising in New Wave and Glam rock, it later focused on Gothic rock. Ollie Wisdom, the lead singer in the house band, Specimen, ran the club with the assistance of production manager Hugh Jones. Famous regulars at the Batcave included legends such as Robert Smith, Siouxsie Sioux, Idi Amin, Steve Severin, Foetus, Marc Almond, Vinny Jones, Nick Cave

  • The direct Wiki quote for Specimen (Ollie of Specimen started Batcave) dork is, "vocalist Ollie Wisdom founded and ran the club during 1982-1983," & the rest of the verbiage backs up my statements and refutes yours. You have MISQUOTED the Batcave Wiki article & are still re-inventing history to suit your version of reality. It's still not working. Failed again. You. Are. So. Lame.

  • how could i have mis quoted it ...if i copied and pasted it asshole..your smart, yet so stupid,,do you know what copy and paste is

  • If you copied and pasted it, it wouldn't have been misquoted. You rephrased it to support your argument. More distraction tactics. They *still* are not working. Clever, but not clever enough.

  • hey, vision thing is hell not a fiasco, its a friggin awesome album, the acoustic stuff like something fast and i was wrong, oh...so good.

  • Vision Thing is not bad (well, to me it is) but it's nothing compared to Eldritch's earlier work, especially what he did with Patricia Morrison (formerly Pat Bag of The Bags) on Floodland. No Gothic clubs in Los Angeles, anyway, played anything from Vision Thing. "VT" was virtually ignored by Goth DJs, the material deemed a "sell out." And they were right. The Goth DJs played everything from Floodland and BEFORE. And justifiably so.

  • just because isnt "goth" doesnt make it a bad album, and i dont know about your definition of 'sell out' but i would have thought the fact that somethingy is highly popular and played everywhere should be deemed as more of a sell out, whats that definition, "anybody who makes any money in the entertainment industry", lol

  • DJs who DJ'd at premiere Goth Clubs in Los Angeles at the time (Helter Skelter, Obituary, Perversion etc.) did not play tracks from Vision Thing as they deemed it a "sell out" album. Their, and my, opinion was that VT was not dark, i.e. Gothic, enough and pandered all too much to "normal people," that is, the blue jean, white t-shirt crowd, or more appropriately, the "weekend Goth crowd" who think Love & Rockets is as Goth as it gets. Please consult a dictionary for a definition of "sell out."

  • the definition was a joke...

    and it is actually ok to like music that doesnt strictly conform to the subculture that you happen to be a part of. im not a goth and i like the sisters other music, oh god, better call the goth clubs and tell them to stop playing it!

  • A: I'm glad you like SOM, & without being "Gothic."

    B: I never said it wasn't okay to like music out of one's "genre." That was your assumption. I like everything from Opera to Goth to (real 70s/80s) Punk.

    C: The definition was just that, a definition.

    D: At the time Vision Thing came out (1990), one of my Goth friends summed it up perfectly when asked about it. He said, "I *tolerate* VT, but I don't like it." Not Goth/dark enough. It really happened.

    E: Try not to take things so personally.

  • Always loved the beginning of this! Great song.

  • great song

  • Wasn't Elvis clad in black leather from head to foot in '68?

  • Boy oh Boy how to rattle a cage! May have been slightly wrong in the official goth/ punk definition of Iggy Pop but where can anyone truly root goth? First sunglasses that never came off; Roy Orbison First artist to perform songs rooted in melancholy; Edith Piaf First artist to wear black leather; Alvin Stardust! As far as oldest living non famous goth the whitby gazette at the last goth/ vampire weekend found a 63 year old woman who called herself a goth. Can't beat opening a can of worms...

  • gosh...he is soooo hottttttt!!!!:P...:*

  • My daugher was a Goth.  But that's not saying the music wasn't good. Sisters of Mercy was as good as anything I heard in the 60's.

  • I still remember when I heard for the first time this song it was on a late night audition in the radio and they were playing the whole Sisters of Mercy Album too bad that nowadays they don't play stuff like that :/ and yet still Old Goth music rules all ;D

  • see everyone here is like yeah all the old goths are cool and stuff but hell im 15 and still love sisters of mercy but also the metal too, but yeah my mum introduced me to em XD

  • stfu Andrew rules.

  • The lyrics are a jab at the mission!

  • wanker- youv'e offended millions

  • My ex brother in law introduced me to these guys. Great, great stuff...too bad they don't record anymore

  • Bas quality of video...buy the way great song rock,n,goth

  • yea : )

  • Ah, nostalgia, lol.

  • Awesome - is it wrong to still be into goth over 40 :p

  • Um, sweetie, I was goth probably before you were born, and before there was even a name for it, though I approve. I still am, and better'n ever. You wanna see some real goth shit, just wait a bit longer. A very few of us are really ready for it writ large..

  • awesome yes

    Goths over 40 is sooo coool!!

    I will still be (or something nearby)

    If you are old enough you can be one of those really amazing goth "elders" much respect!!:D

  • Hey,does anyone know who is like the oldest living goth? XD

  • LeStat.  :)

  • Who's that? O.O

  • From "Interview with the vampire". I was answering your question. Just joking, of course.

  • Ooooh...I would rather let Miriam Blaylock have that title if we're gonna talk about movies ;)

  • Fair comment, my friend.

  • Oldest living goth... Iggy Pop is always known as the godfather of goth, failing that I'd have to say Dave Vanian.

  • He's 51.So there isn't anyone else who's a goth and is older than him? When I asked the question I meant like,a non famous person. :P

  • I've heard of Iggy Pop being the godfather of punk, since he made punk-like music before the official movement, but I never heard of him being the godfather of goth.

    To me, if any band is the godfathers of goth, it would be Joy Division.

  • Hey! Do you know of a person (a non famous one) that's a goth and is like over 60 years old? :P I mean the whole package,he dresses like a goth and listens to goth music and everything. Cause that would probably be like the oldest goth in the world lol. I know this girl that's like 31 and is a goth. That's the oldest goth I know.

  • I know someone who's 56 and he's goth. And he sings in a goth band called RRRRRRR (look for Maniqui in youtube and you'll find it, it's a song from them) that started in the early 70's

  • Wow,cool. A 56 yar old goth :P

    Does anyone know someone who's older XD ?

  • *ahem* Bauhaus >.>

  • who said this/

  • I recon you could call Peter Murphy the godfather too. He must be pushing 50.

  • 51.

  • My ma is nearer 50 and she's still a bit of a goth.

    I'm telling you, if she lays her hands on my boots one more time...

  • Now you mention it. I was into the scene before the name was around too....

  • This lord is pleased....Great song from my early days...

  • Jim steinman is a brilliant producer

  • Oh you gotta love it :P

  • The remake by Maryslim is good. Very powerful.

  • hey now, hey now now? whts the song tryna tell u??

  • I've never seen someone be able to pull off wearing a leather jacket without a shirt AND brandish a dowel rod to such amazing effect...

  • Awesome !!

  • still good times when you were 23 and didn't have to sneak in!

  • what a classic.

  • rock

  • AE=Poet/Warrior of the old school, thanks for posting it

  • By the way...in case you didn't understand what I was trying to get at...

    Those were GOOD TIMES!!!! Miss 'em SOMETHING TERRIBLE!

  • 1987. 15 yrs old. Sneaking N2 the nightclubs, drinking Boone's Farm, Strawberry, smoking cloves, wearing all black, bleached blonde hair higher than Steve Stevens' hair, black nail polish, dark "vampire" make-up, leather boots w/ silver skull buckles, silver crosses & rosaries, & everybody knowing every frickin' word 2 every SOM tune, Bauhaus tune, Siouxsie tune, and, well... Ya'll remember those days...

  • Ah, the clubs. The Krypt, Zombie Zoo;

    later, Helter Skelter (which was actually something of a disappointment, in retrospect - this was as "goth" was emerging from the LA deathrock scene).

    I remember, sister; I remember! *high fives*

  • KWEEZUUL - You just painted a page of my history as well! Strawberryhill, 8 buckle boots, velvet capes, black hair, leather jacket, etc!! Damn, it was fun!!!

  • quality band, what have we got nowadays.. utter shite most of it.

  • There are still a few bands these days that carry the Sister's torch like 69 Eyes. And hey Skinny Puppy is still around.

  • And I forgot another band thats kinda in the same vein Lacrimas Profundere

  • yeah, there's a couple arena-goth bands still kicking around.

  • my daughter thinks eldritch looks like a white michael jackson

  • lol

  • andrew eldritchs deep voice and the sexy patricia morrison make this song work its magic

  • i used to listen to this 19 years ago

  • THE ORIGIONAL GOTHS AND STILL THE BEST

  • brings back memories of dancing at 'Changes' in Windsor, Canada. Great stuff! Why can't music today not suck and be more like the 80's!

  • this brings back memories too

    tks tks tks

  • This is my very favorite Sisters song. Thank you!

  • Damn, this brings back memories

  • this song still makes me shiver in a good way

  • scary but beautiful with it,what a mighty woman.

  • These guys had to be on retainer from White Wolf studios.

    great Goth, great band

  • Luv this band, but Eldritch is such a wanker. Its a shame how he treated Patrcia Morrison, she was the best thing that happened to the sisters of mercy.

  • Hey now hey now now sing this corrosion to me...

    I got nothing to say I aint said before..

  • Love this song, brings back so many translucent powder memories, Cheers!

  • the sisters of mercy is the best gotic band
