[@TheMercury-13]

Being a kid in ANY era is a buzz; all eras have their charm. '80s were bad except for the Alt/Goth/Rock vein 💜finding a few like-minds & civilised laxer licensing laws which let 14-15yr olds into Pubs, clubs & gigs. I prefer 21stC, all music ever at our finger tips! No traipsing round sneery record shops with half remembered lyrics or taping it off a mate, then having to re-spool said tape with pen after it randomly explodes, only seeing music vids on 4-channel TV [99% mainstream guff] or paying £1 to view the only 2 alt videos [Damned- Grimly Fiendish or the Ramones] on the Pubs new-fangled video-dukebox'! or Thatcher, nuclear thereat & 'yuppies'. But I DO miss my 1980s waistline, & wonder why I ever, ever wasted time thinking I was 'fat'.. 🙄

[@TheMercury-13]

Went to a Sisters' gig recently, with 17yr old offspring & her chum; wasn't expecting the gig to be so great-! Kind've blew my mind & re-ignited my love for everything SoM; new, old & inbetween. Also nice to see that besides my fellow 'elders' there were many far younger; good taste is alive! Real music is eternal, never ages, unlike us mere mortals..

I think if you are an artist/musician you may not like being labeled. In a similar vain many heavy metal bands of that era denied being metal. Often the answer was ‘Heavy Metal? No, we are more diverse than that’... at my high school in the 80’s there was kind of a war between the Metal fans & alternative/goth fans... I liked both 😄

So they recently opened a pretty nice skating rink in my city here in Costa Rica and the dj was playing some 80s music and I had a USB flash drive inside my pocket with this song. Went up to him and told him if he would play this song.

Know exactly what you mean mate off to give mine a thrash, sounds like a precision to me, i know Patricia Morrison had a Jazz but Eldritch claimed she never played on anything, as a bass player i alway watch the bass and watching her closely on the (mimed) performances i think he has a point as she barely seems to know the tunes and half the time seems to be playing notes that arent even there, still she was the instantly reconisable face of SOM, more so than Eldritch.

I got into them in the mid 2000s and listened the absolute shit out of them all through high school. The album with this song and the one before it are solid gold. Greatest Hits isn't all that great (couldn't help myself with that pun) but it does have the best versions of a few excellent songs and one very good song I believe is unique to it. If you're interested in hearing more, then check out First and Last and Always (less production values but catchy as hell) or Floodland (which has this song and some other amazing tracks with big production - but I would argue a little more filler than the first album).

He forced her to yield to his sexual advances by telling her the alternative was that he would kill her and one of her slaves, place their bodies together, and claim he had defended her husband's honour when he caught her having adulterous sex. Soon after, Lucretia sent a message to both her husband and her father, Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus, telling them everything. She then killed herself.

the days when there was alternative/goth clubs downtown with great dark deco and visuals ...with dark corners and big screens with experimental videos with me on acid and rockabillies playing pool and alternative godess dancing on this music and front 242 was a hell of a world apart from today ! ....we were a futuristic generation in a dark past that flew away too soon --- -- - ✈

[@catsystemcorp]

damnit I missed it :(

[@dreamingofcottontails6601]

I'm just thankful my taste led to the goth & industrial clubs & scene in my teens & 20's, while they were still awesome. It was more a way of life than a scene, but you know what I mean. Back in the days of wearing full length black satin gloves & taking 4 hrs to get ready, dropping a tab, doing the two step on the dancefloor & spending a fortune on eyeliner & the most fabulous velvet, lace & leather concoctions. When you'd be called a freak just walking down the street. I do miss it, but I'm just thankful I've mostly always had different & eclectic taste & did the alternative thing rather than boring bland popular genre shite. I'm sure there's a whole new generation of teens discovering all the old favs & bigger old goth & industrial stuff now who are thinking the exact same thing every generation who's discovered it think-that they're completely original & hardcore.

[@dreamingofcottontails6601]

@gigawatt Who knows. Several probably already have. Why do you ask? I can only think of how press & opposing candidates would use someone's past against them in public office, but in that case there's been far more interesting & 'different' politicians & candidates. Take Jello Biafra for example, lead singer of The Dead Kennedies & brilliant highly political spoken word artist. Now he would've totally kicked ass over the farce that is Trump. ;)

Not true - listen to "She Past Away". Best new goth band to come out in years! Funny how a band with such an old-school sound can be SO refreshing, but they really are.

[@phelinephrenzy2358]

Wendigo Heart I just checked them out to see if I'd agree. Looking for good & unique sound. Hard to find these days. Sorry, I didn't care much for it.. Thx, anyway. Sisters will always be First, and Last, and Always! Might I suggest Ghost BC? They're different. Their frontman, Tobias Forge, also has a unique, "I don't give a sh* t" attitude like Andrew and causes internal and external band conflict & controversy. Even has a female bassist. He's not an Eldritch clone or wannabe. Unique but similar. Check it out. Tell me what you think.

[@mylivetubetv]

The fellow from Rosetta Stone... Miserylab is also good.... There is a new "wave" (excuse the word) of these bands doing this.... She Past Away was good... I have not heard anything from them since 2015 but I am sure they have something coming! Lost Tapes, Empereur, etc. are also on the list.
