Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: true

Sad but true. In 1993 a new version of 'Alice' appeared on the 'Under The Gun' single. The original version is much better, if you ask me...

2. Tour names - Can you give me the name of the Sisters of Mercy Tour from 2000?

Answer: 'Trip the Light Fantastic'

All these are Tour names. 'Tune in, ...' is from 1985, 'Distance...' is from 1997 and 'To the Planet...' is from 1999.

3. Lyrics anyone? We'll start of with an easy one: 'In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt. In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom...' is the opening line from which song?

Answer: 'Marian'

In this song, singer Andrew Eldritch shows he's a polyglot by singing part of the song in German. Who is this girl anyway, she has made a huge impact on him, that's for sure...

4. Lyrics: a bit tougher. From which song is this chorus: 'See them shimmy see them go. See their painted faces glow. Slow slow quick quick slow. See those pagans go go go '?

Answer: 'Floorshow'

I love the little dance instruction, seems someone is waltzing away here :-)

5. Cover versions. On the 'Temple Of Love' 12-inch appeared 'Gimme Shelter'. Who were the original performers of this song?

Answer: The Rolling Stones

Allthough they changed the lyrics very slightly. In the original sentence 'love's just a kiss away and war is just a shot away' the position of the words 'love' and 'war' are changed.

Answer: 'Confide in Me'

Maybe you guessed 'The Wild Rose'? This was a duet of Kylie with Nick Cave and also a quite nice song...

7. In 1985 they split at the end of the 'Tune in, Turn on, Burn out' tour. Their last concert was in London on 18 June 1985, do you know where ?

Answer: The Royal Albert Hall

Actually all these places are in London and they've played them all. The last concert appeared also on a video named 'Wake' and is brilliant.

8. Another lyric anyone? 'You say stay and never leave, you say meant for ever. I could believe you but I don't' is the opening of which song?

Answer: 'I Was Wrong'

Answer: 25

The opening line from the song 'Vision Thing' reads: 'Twenty-five whores in the room next door'...

10. Which was the first single taken from the album 'Vision Thing'?

Answer: 'More'

A very nice video was shot, the backing vocals were very cute with their masks on :-)
