[gedediah]

It was a brilliant show. Thanks for capturing it so well!

[wasschoenes70]

to much but never enough...i want more!

[AndrewMiLobiYou]

And the Oscar goes to ... you! Excellent camera work! You can clearly see he is giving his all. Wow I really missed something. Monday can't come soon enough.

[Joanne69]

@AndrewMiLobiYou Aww why thank you!! It's certainly far from excellent but that was a rather perfect moment for a close-up - eventually shaking is due to the realization I am missing on the real thing and seeing the real expressions rather than the ones on the camera screen. Giving his all, just like you said. Enjoy Monday, Andrew and the gang are in excellent shape!

[AndrewMiLobiYou]

@Joanne69 I certainly will... and Tuesday and Wednesday.They are the best!!!!

[Stevethesearcher]

A bald man in a terrible yellow T-Shirt. Is that what he has sank to prove he is not a Goth anymore! Why not do a few Kylie covers and go the whole way?

[Joanne69]

@Stevethesearcher The man ain't got no need to prove anything to anyone. Might be as much as a "Fuck you" to all those overconcerned with his wear as an "I don't care". Either way - I am ultimately concerned with the performance he delivers, his singing and his stage presence were unprecedented - so why be bitter about anything else?!

[Stevethesearcher]

@Joanne69 Joanne. I appreciate your passionate defence of Andrew Eldritch. However as he hasnt released an album since Vision Thing in 1990 he does not deserve it. Loyalty is all very commendable but it has to be earned. He is well known to be very dismissive of the fans. In fact he doesnt give a damn about them one way or the other. I used to be a huge Sisters fan but I lost interest when I realised that Eldritch doesnt give a damn about the fans and cant be bothered to make an album.

[LegionMusicLeeds]

@Stevethesearcher You should have been at XXX, you might have come away with a different opinion.

[Stevethesearcher]

@LegionMusicLeeds If you like atmospheric rock music I highly recommend Star Industry from Belgium. Check out the song "Last Crusades" on Youtube. One thing I dont understand about "The Sisters" is that Eldritch doesnt want to be associated with Goth anymore hence the horrible yellow T-shirt. However he is still playing doomy songs at his concerts. Why doesnt he just do RNB instead or maybe appear on X-factor. That will kill off the old Goths at the concerts quicker than the yellow T-shirt.

[LegionMusicLeeds]

@Stevethesearcher I know Star Industry very well. In fact, I have all their records. With respect, I think you might have missed the point a little re: The Sisters. Firstly, he doesn't really have any problem with Goths, leastways, not any more. I know this because a) he provided a Goth disco at the aftershow party (DJed by none other than CLaire, his ex girlfriend circa FaLaA).

[LegionMusicLeeds]

b) I had a good 10 minute chat with him at soundcheck and he was nothing but a total gentleman, despite the fact I'm a great crimped up goff monstrosity

c) So what he was wearing yellow? Surely the TEN MILLION TONS OF DRY ICE earns him a couple of Goff points.

d) Who cares what he wears, the music makes the Goth, not the outfit.

e) The Sisters are, and always have been, a humorous band.

[NightShift]

@Stevethesearcher

Actually, the Sisters have covered Kylie. See 'Confide in Me'. ;D

[RubenvonZwack]

@NightShift I was gonna say the same thing ... Sisters covers rule :D

[wasschoenes70]

@Stevethesearcher

"another shade of YELLOW, sunset YELLOW

another shade of you, can make it summer and make it

SHINE!!!"

[Stevethesearcher]

@wasschoenes70 Yes and another twenty years before the next album. The reason why Eldritch wont release any of these songs is that he didnt write them so no money for him. Summer was written by Adam Pearson.

[wasschoenes70]

@Stevethesearcher

i dont need any new album (what for?). i only need andrews voice and vibes ;-)

i care for the good vibes and not for the money...or album, whatever...

[Stevethesearcher]

@wasschoenes70 Its funny that. I actually like bands that make albums. Its nice to hear a new record every fifty years or so.

[KabbalahWestCoast]

@Stevethesearcher tacky obvious u r sold on the fake look of goth

[emveke]

see you on moday guys!!!!!

[TaHyKu]
