People are so ungrateful. I think they sound good and I love they backup vox. Like how many years have passed? Years of shows and you expect someone to to not age?
That’s what I was thinking too! The music sounds great , I think people expect them to sound like they did in the 80’s and that’s just not cool! I can’t wait to see them next week in Saint Augustine!
I really like Kai, she is enjoying herself and brought new life to the band. I hope they will keep. Andrew is getting sick, he doesn't want to stop to do shows, meeting fans. You can see Ben Christo is getting more and more participation. I hope if Andrew stops they will keep the Sisterhood alive.
I have SOM EP's / albums although had to pass up that Sisterhood crap. Met the love of my life during a Floodlands song. Big fan, but this is horrible. Andy is mailing it in and it is being returned to sender. I am in TX, SOM are playing next month. GA tix have been reduced to $10 and I still will not be in attendance.
Uncle Fester ? Look, Eldritch, you don't turn up and if you do...well...I'll keep quiet...I was never a big fan of " The Mission" but your "hired hand" is live much more worth the price of a ticket than you are...I thought you were politically "left" but ripping off people doesn't seem to bother you...anyway, why not shout "Sing" during " Lucretia", you're resembling the "Empire" more and more...
@@TomNobody631So I'm to believe that the "live" perfomances of Eldritch are about charity ? Please...if he needs money, let him start some internetchannel, no need to embarass himself and bore the audience with a terrible show...
@user-il8ql3ui2y er what? I didn't say anything about charity. You suggested that the price of a ticket was some sort of rip-off, which goes against his left wing principles, and I was simply saying that the cost of a ticket is to ensure that everyone involved putting the gig together is appropriately compensated. Calm down. Also he's pretty independently wealthy and doesn't need the money. The shows are offered to the people who want to see them. You aren't being ripped off, because you aren't owed anything more than exactly what you paid for. Get over yourself.
@@TomNobody631Prices of tickets have become ridiculously high, the "Sisters of Mercy" being no exception, I payed the same to to see PIL ( same venue (Ghent)...and already thought then, well, so much for punk...but at least there, I got to see a good concert... I expect some return for what I pay for... so a "no-show" (Ghent) or a terrible concert (Antwerp) is not it... " The shows are offered to people who want to see them" (them???, a mumbling zombie, a guitarplayer who by vitue of young age can still be forgiven thinking his penis is larger than his guitar and something that looked like Jem from the holograms, oh yes and a drummachine...) Maybe ask Dick and Harry about their opinion...
@@BeneRou If you think that bands sit around going "Let's charge a lot of money and make a massive profit", you might do well to ask yourself: does it work? The answer, obviously, is no. Of course The Sisters Of Mercy aren't raking it in. Eldritch is independently wealthy from old royalties and from business ventures wholly unrelated to the band (quite left-wing ones, as it turns out), he doesn't need the cash, and the band members are paid a retainer and enjoy performance royalties (which is why the set skews so heavily in favour of songs the people on stage wrote), and these are, famously, Not Large Amounts Of Money. The band keeps the tour sustainable by taking as little profit as possible. They book most of their tours 6-9 months ahead of time, and the venues gleefully accept those bookings because the sales are good. If you book an extensive tour 9 months in advance, for 9 months of the year, your ticket prices have to cover the cost of that tour - transport, logistics, crew, venues, royalties, insurance. The band would literally be able to make a larger profit by performing fewer shows, if it was about the money. You say "So much for punk" while also bemoaning the fact that you're not getting enough bang for your buck, from a purely mercantile, transactional point of view. That's real punk of you. Eldritch has always said that he doesn't owe his audience anything - but he knows what he owes the people who make these shows happen. In the nicest possible terms, get over yourself. It's fine if you don't like them or find the show disappointing, but just leave it at that: these attempts to self-aggrandize by framing the band's own decisions as those of a sellout, just so you can tut disapprovingly, makes you look like... well, like just another tedious commenter on the internet, to be honest.
Danke fürs Hochladen!
Ben Christo (Diamond Black) and Kai (Esprit D'Air) on guitar!
I’m glad they’re still around STILL AWESOME! singing and playing their hearts out. 🎸 good for them! Gotta see em soon. Maybe.

Fan since 1984! 🕺

I hope they will keep.

Kai: he and himself. 😉
One of my favorites 🖤🖤🖤 Always excellent
Hey it’s Andrew as Nosferatu! Now that’s goth.

🦇🖤 IT'S GOTH AF !
🖤🦇🧛🏻♀️🧛🏾♂️
sehr schön- das rockt
Fantastic guitarist
Which one do you mean? Posing boy on the left side? Perhaps you think about Chris (nurse to the doctor)... the only good one in this line-up.... :(
Awesome!
I mean, i love SoM, always have but Andrew is either on drugs (more drugs), or he's just gotten too old :(
Walter White really should have stopped after the first season.
Usual pretend fans slagging him on here.
Check my pic but sorry they are shite nowadays
Ingo je moet wel een grote fan van hun zijn als je alles na reist
🤷♂️

I think you'll generally find that it's less a case of "ripping people off" as "earning enough money to pay everyone properly".
