Arlo: By the way, I first saw Ministry back in 1988 on their Land of Rape and Honey Tour. I think Al Jourgensen caught everyone offguard with that CD (LP?). I was super impressed with The Mind is a Terrible Thing to taste, but much of their latter stuff crosses into almost an death-metal sound (Slayer-like), and so other than a few singles I really only listen to their older stuff (Jesus Built My Hotrod kicks!).
One of my favorite Jourgensen projects has been 1000 Homo DJs, with my favorite song being "Apathy". It captures something that has been socially relevant every day since it was written. Ron: Revolting cocks was another goodie, I remember my first time with Ministry, I heard "with sympathy" and when in the summer of'91 Lollapalooza was in Denver which is where I happened to be on my way to Seattle, Ministry was announced and the entire mood and scene changed, Jorgensen appeared with His mic stand of goat skulls and began dancing a jig to psalm 69 There was an energy so intense at that show. It was thrilling It scared the sh*t outta me. That was the first time in a mosh pit for me, I was introduced to Soundgarden at that show too, singing Body counts "cop killer".. I think that was the first time I allowed myself To be openly anti-establishment, what fun. It began the process of breaking Down the stigma of social customs and morality, I had just read ZMM And was taking a trip west of my own to move out to Seattle. Have to admit Slayer is a fav too, I'm not much for death metal but I think The punk-thrash cross over sound mixed with political dissention just Grabbed me. A lot of bands try but there is no substitute for their raw energy..the litmus test for any true metal head. On the opposite side, I'm on a Alice Donut kick at the moment.
