Hell yeah man! They’ve been killing it completely recently despite the vocal minority of triggered right winger fans bitching, but completely awesome songs that have been coming out 🤘
I, for one, am glad he lived as long as he did. And made so much awesome music. Uncle Al has not made a bad piece of music in the last 30 years. Thank you Mr. Jourgenson.
@@davypelletier Well I wouldn't go as far as saying "Well I wouldn't go as far as saying he hasn't made a bad piece of music in 30 years" because that is his opinion. If yours differs, then that's your opinion.
"I, for one, am glad he lived as long as he did. And made so much awesome music." You make it sound like's dead and isn't making music still. He isn't and he is. "Uncle Al has not made a bad piece of music in the last 30 years." You haven't listened to Filth Pig, apparently.
I have been saying Trower over hendrix for years. Off all the people to agree with me I never thought it would be Al Jourgensen but this is why I love the man. Al is brilliant.
I remember in HS, circa ‘92, watching ’Cry Freedom’ in English class, and suddenly randomly hearing the opening to Ministry’s ‘Breathe’!! I was busting! Also, wouldn’t it be awesome if Pailhead came back?
I remember being in 8th Grade and hearing my brother playing Jesus built my hotrod? It literally Gave me a adrenaline rush. Ministry soon became part of my warm up soundtrack before Wrestling matches. Between Slayer, Ministry, black flag and Minor threat I was amped when I stepped of the mat. Thanks Ministry for state championships, speeding tickets and party Anthems.
Thanks for all the good times Al, keep being you and giving us that quality product. You've made my time on this planet's thin crust a far better experience.
Yeah in a way he's taken the torch from lemmy. I don't know any serious music head that would say anything bad about either of those gentlemen. I miss lemmy so much. But I'm glad as hell that the alien hasn't left the planet yet. Hope he will be here for a while still. I wanna see AL do T.V. live one time before I go personally.
wondering if Martin Atkins (drummer) would play with MINISTRY again (?) He is an amazing drummer. Saw him playing live with Killing Joke and with MINISTRY years ago & he had such thunderous, fast power. He was awesome with each band.
Uncle Al I love you since bring a kid getting into . Ministry shows being took backstage n following lalaplooza tour you forever been a paragon of years of herion addiction depression i always have your music w me 💋🖤🖤🖤
Great interview but I kept getting distracted just watching her talk. She's gorgeous and I kept wanting to focus on her, lol. She really does well with directing the course of the interview. Don't know who you are but you're great at your job. Keep it up!
He mentioned Billy Gibbons? Truly a rocker, rumor has it Billy once took a guy out one night that gave his daughter a terrible time... the kid woke up with some weird tattoos on him in a Donkey stable?..... not sure but I'm thinking never piss these caliber of Rockers off.... the Antem Let's Go ! Ministry... one of the top ten song's from the Hand... and after that they still keep Rocking.....
As far as my code of ethics regarding addiction issues as a "drug addict" myself...i have to say its respectable,your mileage and still having the desire to create.. and have a career....did any drug cease to work anymore... Like you abused its privilege now to use it,you did it so much...ya know drug addicts dont equal "low i.q"!!!... Just saying!!!
The morgue needs to walk behind this guy to pick up the dead bodies. I'd be surprised to learn that vultures and flies don't hang around him just waiting for the next associate to drop.
@ffacundo Her name is Christina Rowatt, she has her own youtube channel called The Void With Christina, I had to go do some reading on her as well to find out and I'm pretty impressed. Rock needs more people like her.
Ministry was cool back in the early 90's when I was a teenager, but unfortunately they decided it was a good idea to kiss the feet of the establishment like Rage on behalf of the machine did. Hope them and they lame conformist fan base have fun posing👎
