Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon (Gothic Rock)

If You Don't Believe The Following, Click This And Find Out For Yourself!

Ok, no one believes this shit but it's true.

Remember The Sisters Of Mercy? They were out of Leeds in the UK...one of the best Contemporary Gothic Rock bands ever to grace the '80s.

They set the standard for most Gothic Rock and they ranked with Bauhaus as one of the all-time faves in the genre.

Well, get this.

The Sisters Of Mercy released a Greatest Hits collection in the early 90s called A Slight Case Of Overbombing...this came right after Some Girls Wander By Mistake.

A Slight Case Of Overbombing featured a brand new recording by the name of Under The Gun recorded strictly for this compilation. The female vocals, however, were not done by Patricia Morrison (also bass player before she and Andrew Eldritch had a falling out) but by Terri Nunn.
Terri Nunn had been in the band Berlin and had recorded Take My Breath Away for the Top Gun soundtrack just a few years before. Everyone should be on the same page now. Moving on...

The soundtrack wasn't Terri Nunn's first brush with Hollywood though. At a younger age, Terri had auditioned for a movie role and nearly had it.

The role of Princess Leia was usurped by Carrie Fisher...the movie was Star Wars.

I think we can dedicate Temple Of Love to Anakin and Padme now.

Another True Gothic Rock Tidbit:

Did you know The Hunger starring Susan Sarandon and David Bowie actually opens with Bauhaus performing their classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead"?
