Sisters Of Mercy Interview Super Sonic Super Channel 22/02/88

[@juanharocorbera1577]

patricia morrison is simply beautiful

[@stephenrussell8600]

Yes she is

[@sophiabulgaria267]

You know that's a DUDE right?

[@manxuberglider8]

Sophia Bulgaria : Don’t be ugly. This isn’t your scene. Troll elsewhere.

[@jamescorbett5729]

Eh, yeah, that’s why she’s in the band.

[@chuckabbate5924]

Her eyes just kill.

[@EricandDish]

The Sisters of Mercy changed dramatically when Patricia Morrison became bassist👩‍🎤. The 1980's was an amazing decade for women in music.

[@djuraster]

wait till you find out that someone else played the bass, not Patricia

[@goldenultra]

I like the bass on Emerald Forest. One of their early sound experiments. Less sound production but it has angelic beauty.

[@iamanisland]

Patricia was only there for her looks.

[@thekenjirosangaarena]

Why are u all talking about fish? 🤣

[@mrkrills8839]

I think the playback was kind of obvious back then, they didn’t even try they just played the studio recording and mimed to it.

[@80sWavrDude]

Age 18 (1988) couldn't have POSSIBLY been any better when I had sweet music such as this filling my ears. So glad I spent my teenage years in the 80s.

[@lapetitemorte526]

One of my favorite bands to this day! 🖤

[@nobudgetshortfilms5510]

I also still consider them the pinnacle of 80's rock.

[@anselknight1866]

They just didn’t go as commercial as the cure

[@tylerskiss]

Wtf does the Cure have to do with tSoM? The Cure just created the music they wanted to. Disintegration was expected to be complete commercial suicide to the extent that they forced the band to include Fascination Street as the only potential single- yet that album went on to completely explode. Also, you can’t listen to garbage tracks like You Could Be The One and pretend that Andrew is some bastion of anti-commercialism.

[@anselknight1866]

I mean, friday i'm in love still gets radio play to this day, not many yuppies could handle tSoM on the radio anymore@@tylerskiss

[@bougeac]

Andrew was a frightening prospect for a lot of interviewers due to the fact that he wasn’t interested in playing the game, is very intelligent and is a master of wit and irony (lost on most of his interviewers)

[@Fiveash-Art]

He's pretentious as hell and this interview is cringeworthy stuff ... I feel embarrassed for his band mate having to sit next to him with this act he's pulling. 😂

[@VenturiLife]

An intellectual that just happened to be a musician. That's how I'd describe him. The lyrics and musical compositions are something else.

[@thevanguardsofmanhood8463]

[@juliantorres2772]

I discover Sister of Mercy in a Rock magazine in Argentina and i went straight to find their music, plus some charts choose this Corrosion and i was hooked . Andrew is one of the sexiest and intelligent men in Music. I allways love to hear his interviews.

[@natamadic]

You have a chance to talk to Andrew Eldritch and you end up talking about his underwear and pants. Just sad.

[@chuckabbate5924]

Ah the 80s , the throwaway decade.

[@atom_gray]

were you looking for signs of intellectual life on shitube?

[@philippetrape9295]

Let's put it up this way. Eldritch is undoubtedly a musical genius, but here, his attitude sucks. Patricia Morrison is perfect, distinguished, decent, and stunningly beautiful. From their attitude, one can understand that the pair does not go along very well. Something seems broken. They don't communicate. As if the interview was a torture. No enthusiasm. Now we know that Eldritch recruited Morrison only for the look and nothing else. It was for pure marketing. Actually, it worked well. The combination was top-notch visually. But it was a one-off attempt. Eldritch already had something else in mind with a new line-up for ''Vision Thing'' in 1990. After this fiasco, Morrison will marry Dave Vanian and become a mother. Good for her, but sad conclusion. However, with Eldritch, what could she wait for? The strangest man of the Rock and Roll circus. Refusing honors and systematically pulling away from the musical industry with nothing released since the fantastic ''Under the Gun'' 1992 produced by ex-Tears for Fears Ian Stanley. A pure enigma. This being said ''Floodland'' is a fantastic album and among the first 100 albums of rock history.

[@danielgriff2659]

I cant believe i didnt know "Morrison will marry Dave Vanian and become a mother." Thats awesome! Dave Vanian was cool as f*ck. I loved The Damned. The Damned, The Clash and the Sex Pistols toured together in '76 for the Anarchy tour... damn i would have loved to see THAT show! But I was 7.

[@JohnMoseley]

@@danielgriff2659 As far as I can tell, hardly anyone got to see that show because most of the gigs were cancelled due to the interventions of concerned local council members and the like.

[@ajzn97]

@@danielgriff2659 She was actually in The Damned for like seven years and recorded an album too.

[@philippetrape9295]

@@ajzn97 Indeed. And her album was more than listenable. Before joining SoM, she played bass in the Gun Club.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Why is it a “sad conclusion” that she married one of the coolest old punks in existence and became a mother? I mean, if her reasons for being recruited to the Sisters were purely superficial and image-oriented, then I’d say she moved on to MUCH greener pastures. She’s much happier now. How do I know this? Because I’ve spoken with both her and Dave several times since they “paired up”, and it’s as plain as night and day.

[@scottiew11]

Such a brilliant song! I saw them in London in the 80s, not long after ‘Floodland’ was released. This year, in October the band played in New Zealand and Australia- they are still brilliant and great to hear them live again in Auckland. I was surprised that the venue - the Power Station wasn’t packed! It should have been!

[@thiscorrosion900]

More like 1990-91 Vision Thing tours.

[@marcusviniciusdottlinger9626]

Patricia will always be the most beautiful woman ever!

[@user-ut3hj4mf8m]

she's just ok, but nothing more.

[@therogers4432]

She's just THE Face Of The 80s for me... So many girls tried to copy her look, and a (very...) few managed to get close (I dated a couple of them), but Patricia was always The One for me...

[@nobudgetshortfilms5510]

​@@therogers4432 I love her style, personality and overall aesthetic, but the face of the 80's to me will always be Sherlyn Fenn.

[@carpetfluff35]

[@Vasteras01]

I saw the Damned. Captain Sensible got in trouble so I could go talk to Dave Vanian. One of the very first goths, and the singer of my favourate Punk band. The only thing I could think of saying to him was "I like your wife". I regret nothing...

[@kevcatnip7589]

[@miwdiva]

I'm sure he appreciated it, he deals with some many dumbass, ignorant, jealous twats who hate on Patricia because her "crime" is to be his wife... when it's not delusional hags who think he loves them better than his wives.

[@miwdiva]

When it's not morons who discovered the Damned and the Goth thing yesterday morning yet blurt disrespectful, ignorant shit on her. Little surprise, most of these same women have the glamour of a dishwasher..I'm like, what are YOUR credentials?

[@victoria_mnlight2927]

How'd he respond

[@soloharmonicsrobj8246]

Somehow I missed the Sister's Of Mercy during the 80's and 90's. However I discovered them about 10 years ago. I crank them up every now and then.

Eldridge has always has a Bowie vibe about him.

[@Fiveash-Art]

Except Bowie was intelligent and always respectful .... This guy is the very definition of a pretentiously cringeworthy rock star. It feels like a joke.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

All of the early goths worshipped Bowie. Peter Murphy based his whole schpiel on Bowie. 80’s goth was basically just an updated version of early 70’s glam, with some horror trappings. It stands to reason that Bowie would loom large amongst it’s pioneers.

[@PgTrAxX]

Andrew rocking the look in the 80's that everybody wants since 10 years now! Talking about trend setter 😁 He's so good looking though and Patricia oh my god.... L.O.V.E. 😍

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Yeah he (and Patricia) pretty much pioneered this look, along with a few other early bold souls. Too bad Andrew at least not only abandoned it, but has done pretty much everything in his power to go against it ever since. I mean, I KIND OF ‘get it’. Once something that you used to get violently harassed for becomes just another safe fad for the Hot Topic crowd, it can be infuriating. I’m an old punk, I understand. However…. devoting your life to burying your past beneath layer upon layer of denial and making a fool of yourself while trying to distance yourself as far from your past as you can because you’re stuck in a shame spiral? Nah, that’s no solution. Be f’n PROUD of your past. Own that shit. Who cares what happened from the 90’s onward?

[@johnhall9825]

The best version of the Sisters Of Mercy.. Andrew & Patricia..

[@MetzGaming]

I used to think this, but if you dig deeper you might find you enjoy the old stuff just as much. Watch 'Wake', the last live concert from the pre-Patricia line-up. It's perfection.

[@pikkon899]

As an image for the band, yes. The 2 of them looked good together but Patricia didn't play any bass on the second album even though she was hired to do so. Andrew wrote and played all of the music. The only time Patricia played bass and contributed musically on any project with Andrew was on the Sisterhood album (not Sisters of Mercy), "Gift" The bass on that album was all her. The "Lucretia" bassline was all Andrew.

[@johnhall9825]

@@pikkon899 Thanks for the info, I love the album GIFT and FLOODLAND is one of my all time favourites....

This highlights Eldtritch's pet peeve. That is, "wri ting albums is fun, making albums can be fun, mixing albums has its moments but still can be fun, BUT . . . . promoting albums is a slog and mind numbingly boring. " Point definitely made !

[@APersonOI]

God i loved this band. Always thought Eldritch was the godfather of goth, and The Reptile House EP was perfect and uncompromising (Siouxsie, despite her not liking the idea, is the godmother), with Pete Murphy a close second to AE (as an aside, the beginning of the hunger is beyond cool). Not forgetting the other members of the bands, who had massive inputs, including the original Sisters (Some Kind of Stranger is one of my favourite songs ever, but I dont reckon it's goth). Choosing one song from each for pure gothness I'd go Marian, Red Light and Bela Lugosi's Dead. But Id never seen Eldritch in an interview before I saw this. Judging by the comments, it seems to have divided some opinions as to whether he's being ironic and witty, or just a knob. I cant decide. I agree that hes a bit snotty and the foot on the table was naff, but I do like that he wears two pairs of pants. 😂
