@Peterholland1991 Yes I can`t. And nobody can. But it`s a common knowledge, that Al-Quaeda and Bin-Ladden were supported by CIA during Soviet campaign in Afganistan. The question is if they are independent now, or still work for... somebody)

I find that the Sisters have always challenged my intellect, and required a bit of historical investigation on my part. For over twenty years, I have enjoyed their music, and find them to be an anthem to cultural and socio-political events throughout modern history.
There is a difference between early SoM ("Walk on Glass") , mid-SoM ("Black Planet") and late-SoM ("More"). I think it fair to say that very early SoM had strong goth overtones and perhaps could be called goth, and that Eldritch mixed in "Industrial Metal" and other influences over time such that it can't really be called goth today regardless of what you might have called it once. (eg: "Gimmie gimmie gimmie" is not goth.)
I see a dark cinism in all the phases, the name goth could be used cause they had similarities with a lot of bands wich were influenced by iggy pop, david bowie.
If you are in for the labels, use your ears to find that the Vision Thing album is plain, powerfull, awesome Rock´n´Roll like Guns´n´Roses or Motörhead. ;o)=)
Andrew about where in the genres he sees the Sisters: "Between the Pet Shop Boys and Motörhead". -On Target, eh?
Oh, and has anyone ever seen any clear definition that´s beyond the opinion of the NME about what´s to be called goth? After all the NME invented that genre.
if you are in for the labels, than you are missing a point ... by far...
does it really matters if they were or were not goth? do we have to stand so weak and unable to be individuals, where that sickening need of belonging to a group comes from? I'm me and I am social being happy to know each and everyone around for their story and their soul as unique as it is is valuable part in this jigsaw puzzle we call world.
Why try and put a label on something! there are way to many... if im gonna label Sisters of mercy then I''d call then "F*ing Awesome!!!!" And if i were to label Katy Perry I'd label her "Sh*t" and thats good enough for me!
But, unfortunately , sometimes labels are necessary.
To be honest, I'd quite happily just say that Sister are a rock band, but then, with so many different types of rock it's helpful to be able to shove some sub-categories in there.
Really? I thought this entire album was just a sort of extended criticism of American policy and the American way of life. Some of the tracks make this point more directly than others, but the title "Vision Thing" leaves little to imagination.
a question for the goths out there have you ever been hated by other goths because u listen to sissters of mercy and not "real goth music" cause i have
its just people think real goth is just like well....i honestly dont kno id say manson and like afi but i only listen to classic goth like SoM, the cure, and clan of Xymox
no no no they aren't the first. field of the nephilim were the FIRST but didn't really see themselves that way. then bands like alien sex fiend, red lorry yellow lorry, 1909 and the damned came along into the genre. but FotN were the first and best!
flossie999 - Either I didn't understand your comment or time is moving in reverse for you! All those bands you named were around before FotN(I think their first record was '86). I would say Bauhaus and UK Decay were the first real goth bands,then there were Sex Fiend, Sex Gang, Death Cult, 1919, Red Lorry, Sisters etc ...THEN Fields. Interesting theory though!
"meanwhile, in the sheraton, doctor jeep play on and on and on.." If I am not mistaken this line refer to Senior G Bush sitting by the piano playing as the US bombed certain areas in the world.
This almost has that Industrial Metal like KMFDM feel to it and even a Nu Metal like Static X even though that might require a flame shield it has that chug guitar and drum sound.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, sounds even worse than it did 20 years ago. At least "Floodland" (though overproduced) took an interesting curb into new territories, but this is just Eldritch's sad exploitation of a name that was desperately hollow after the split.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh my beloved Sisters of Mercy. What happened? This album was such a pile of shit. Man was i sad when this was released. Well I still love the old Sisters. Guess Andrew lost his vision thing.
I was really stoked on it when it was released. I thought of it as an interesting spin for the band. Just wish they'd have released something after.... I've always thought this track to be sort of a nod to billy idol's white wedding. as funny as that might sound.
doesn't sound funny. i can hear white wedding too. nice to know someone's ears operate like mine. i hear another song in the bass line but i can't place it
gimme a break. this is crap. If evolution means becoming bland and boring then you are right. I was the biggest Sisters fan back in 1983 and I still love the old stuff. This just sucks. Listen to First and Last and Always and then tell me how great Vision Thing is.
Well if that's your opinion, than it's your opinion. Personally I love First and Last and Always and it's my favorite of theirs, but I don't think Vision Thing sucks. But to each their own.
Woah, This Video Is Full Of Subliminal Messages.... The Screen Flashes The Emperor is naked right away near the beginning... Then there is like a frame flash of eldritch with a background that says something like: "Sioth" (at 0:05)
At 0:28 at the top right of the screen there is some lettering: This B" and i cant see the rest.
Hmm... Yeah SoM Is goth. While they are not trying to, they did become one of the most important groups. Although it is also just rock, and occasionally Industrial, it definatly is goth. After all. Its the fans that supply the labels, not the group. (Lol)
Actually I just found out, and was totally mad about, SoM out Dominion into that game Grand theft auto 4. I'm going to guess that the majority of the people that are claiming their Not-Gothyness, found this band through the game.
Andrew is a smart guy, he never would say : I am goth. Post-punk is a reality, goth is a name created by the press for a couple of bands and then, a lot of idiot people started to paint the face and say: I am goth. Ha Ha Ha...
It was there very early on, The sisters were labeled as goth early on in their careers and the fans dressed in that way from early on, as did the Andrew himself and to go along with Edritch's line on this is wrong.
I mean, who calls themselves Eldritch anyway? a Goth thats who!
I disagree. Goth is a reality because the subculture was labeled and given a form. Where do you think the term post-punk came from? It was bestowed upon music that sound different from anything else that existed. First and Last and Always definitely sounds what the label goth describes. It sounds different than post-punk. Eldritch, unlike Marilyn Manson who simply marketed his industrial rock as goth, actually made goth music, and ironically had a profound impact on the subculture.
Non prejudice nordicks trying to find their culture without hate, however lots of sex, but sex is violence, well I guess it's a conundrum, as long as it's consensuall}:>
I totally disagree, I can see that people here are willing to go along with the line Eldritch spews about Goth, but I was around at the time and he was happy with the imagery and being labelled goth for years before he spoke up. I find his criticism of a subculture that he was part of and influenced sad. Of course you clearly like him too much to consider the possibility he may be being unfair to Goths. I think you need to bemore tolerant of people who choose to dress as Goths.
@sendtomrc Goth/Emo is a pathetic shadow of what it use to be when I was a teenager. Old School Goths should face fuck these Emo kids with a knife for ruining the subculture.
@sendtomrc FULL ACK!!! I love the Music of The Sisters of Mercy before they split off into The Mission and Andrew Eldritchs Solo Projects Floodland and Vision Thing. But.... I like many songs like "1959" or "Colours", "More" and of Course "Dr. Jeep". But: To to see Andrew in a white business suite is really strange for me, as i am part of the Generation in Black.
@sendtomrc Nah, the real gothic rock exist, Bauhaus are very very different to U2 and The Cult. Lacrimosa isn't the only gothic band, the painted face is a stereotype.
@sendtomrc Andrew also said he wasn't post-punk. He said something along the lines of, "We don't know who the fuck Alien Sex Fiend are and we don't want to know." Actually, that's verbatim.
Nor did he claim to be Heavy Metal as every thirteen-year-old "I am so Goth lol" on youtube thinks he did. He said they were a classic rock band, and with the exception of First and Last and Always, frankly, I can see it.
Anyway, genres are labels for the fans, not the music. The music is just "good."
@sendtomrc wow, you're going to insult an entire subculture of perfectly nice people? fuck you. fyi, most of the sisters' profit and fanbase came straight from--guess fucking who?--GOTHS
No, it's not Gothic anything. That statement being applied to the Sisters isn't correct or okay anywhere, but you definitely don't want to say that if Andrew were ever in your presence...
I Haven´t realized this before, but this video really reminds me of Neil Young's Rocking in the free world. Another great song, very similar to this in many aspects.

@sendtomrc Nah, the real gothic rock exist, Bauhaus are very very different to U2 and The Cult. Lacrimosa isn't the only gothic band, the painted face is a stereotype.

@sendtomrc Andrew also said he wasn't post-punk. He said something along the lines of, "We don't know who the fuck Alien Sex Fiend are and we don't want to know." Actually, that's verbatim.
Nor did he claim to be Heavy Metal as every thirteen-year-old "I am so Goth lol" on youtube thinks he did. He said they were a classic rock band, and with the exception of First and Last and Always, frankly, I can see it.
Anyway, genres are labels for the fans, not the music. The music is just "good."

@KomradeAnon - So let's call rock band, just like other dark bands like to be called. About F&L&A, for me it's the most R'n'R album.

@sendtomrc wow, you're going to insult an entire subculture of perfectly nice people? fuck you. fyi, most of the sisters' profit and fanbase came straight from--guess fucking who?--GOTHS

No, it's not Gothic anything. That statement being applied to the Sisters isn't correct or okay anywhere, but you definitely don't want to say that if Andrew were ever in your presence...

I Haven´t realized this before, but this video really reminds me of Neil Young's Rocking in the free world. Another great song, very similar to this in many aspects.

Well they were bombing the crap out of Iraq. First time out. Went back and did them again when they looked like getting up.
Still, the US will always sell weapons to people and then go after them and the sell again. It's called, "repeat business".

I got married in a sheratan hotel. On the morning of my wedding my best mate broke into my room and woke me up by playing this song.
"meanwhile in the sheraton Dr Jeep plays on..." Heady days... (daze even)

I absolutely can't agree. It's pretty rhythmic, but I'd NEVER call this their most guitar-driven song. Not by a longshot.
