Heard Al got really pissed off at someone in these record companies. Wrote an angry letter and ejaculated some jizz into the envelope. He got an answer "Hey Al, what is the point of this letter, and what was that stuff you sent me, had a funny taste"
Mike is also lucky because if he'd gotten convicted on that pharmacy deal he wouldn't be able to tour overseas. It's hard to get a passport with a felony conviction, and some countries won't even let you in.
sorry, a bit off topic but he sounds like Chris Barnes (Cannibal Corpse), I take it that's the midwest Chicago area accent ? I know Barnes is from Buffalo NY, but it seems people from there don't sound anything like the typical proper New York accent.
The thing about you that attracted people to you in the first place is the same thing that they try to beat out of you later; are all human relationships based on this?
What Al is saying reminds me of my wife and my past girlfriends. They all liked my crazy style, attitude, bad boy, and how I dressed, then when we got together and we're more serious all they wanted to do was change me into someone else. Why not like me for who I am, like before? No I need to change this and do that. How about shut up and suck it. That's what I always say, doesn't work though lol
Yes , With Symptathy is a good album.... the point is, it wasn't _his_ album. He didnt' want to make it. Producers get in the way, the label gets in the way... Happens all the time with debuts. Watch Rick Beato's "almost famous" youtube video.
1:29. 2 take homes bottles for two days (which is one dose per day, which is the standard ). You only dose once a day so exactly how it that not enough?
I always find Al fascinating in interviews, he tells it how it is and its very refreshing and enlightening. Things are never what they seem behind the scenes.
I’m a huge fan but Al is an unreliable narrator. Half of what he says is bullshit. If you read his book the forward is all about how he doesn’t want recognition and just wants to be the jimmy page to Robert Plant. Total bullshit, Al loves the spotlight and having a platform. It made me question the entire autobiography to the point I consider a good part of it as fiction.
With sympathy is a legendary album.... but al Jourgensen doesnt really acknowledges the album at in his catalog because it was everything ge didn't want ministry to sound like
Being a multiple-relapse-but-now-recovered IV junky myself, my sweatin' shakin' sorry ass has eaten a looooot of motherfuckin' cereal, as it's one of the few things my guts accepted more than like one bite of for weeks after kicking or while I was sick
mike gave me a bike one time back in 92' i was broke down had no job, mike came unto and said "take this bike young son and ride on" and so I rode the bike as fast and as far as i could for as long as i could and i ended up in NOLA
I'd love to see an interview about why they hate Detroit, they have a huge following here. My band 1999-2005, was influenced by ehg and laughing hyenas. We took our name from negative non conductive reasoning -negative conductor. We formed to be able to open for bands we liked,but most of the time blew them offstage. We had a wild live performance, people said it's like a roving tribe or gang. We had security guys at most shows who were part of the band,they also plugged in things that came unplugged during shows. Fun times.we played w weedeater,today is the day,bloodlet,jucifer, suplecs,fistula,sofa king killers, cutthroat s 9,-16-,easy action(John.brannon of negative approach/na), throttlerod, dirty bird, flying luttenbachers high on fire,evil beaver, love 666, and tons more.
He loved that stuff back then...he just changed his mind about it cuz the drug abuse fucked with his mind...its impressive to see that his willpower still helped him succeed in the brutal industrial stuff though...Al Jourgensen for President -- 2020!!!!!
You didn't catch he's like a "victimized" jerk? Talking about "dominated woman" while taking fans as tour ornaments? Still like his music, he doesn't needs to be the way I imagine a cleaver guy has to be.
Did you see that new interview with Mike? Recently? He mentioned that he doesnt even consider Sludge a genre and it doesnt exist to him. Hell, he even said he doesnt consider Eyehategod a metal band and more of a rock band. So i kind of go by what the singer says.
With Sympathy is one of the best electro pop albums of that genre. Great catchy songs. It's still one of my faves. He should just embrace it for what it is. So his style evolved and he moved on. It's still a great synth pop record.
brother, "twitch" and all the singles inbetween that and "land of rape and honey" is just pure gold. even the singles before "with sympathy" are amazing. im falling is a great track.
He doesn't embrace it because, as he himself has said, didn't feel he even recorded that album, because it was a product of pressure from the record company to make a commercial sounding record. They're catchy songs yes, but it's by design, not because there was any kind of passion behind making it. It's very formulaic synth pop and not the music he wanted to do.
I just saw Ministry's 2015 New Year's Eve show in Chicago at the Concord Music Hall, and they had two large Nazi eagle banners hung at either end of the stage, with the Ministry insignia in place of the swastika. What kind of asshole must Al Jourgensen be to do something like that? What kind of statement is he trying to make? And why would the management at the Concord Music Hall be stupid enough to allow him to get away with it? Derek Davis Chicago
well obviously he's not a Nazi sympathizer because he's Cuban. maybe he did it to make fun of Nazism instead of embracing it. he also said that if he were making music in the 30's and 40's that he would've sung about berating George Bush's grandfather because well obviously he was a Bush and because he banked with the Nazis
For fucks sake..what wrong with people like you eh?Always piss moaning about something..?get a life/why so fucking, full on super serious all the time?nazi insignia=bollox. CHEMICHAEL.M.ALIEN.T.EELS SNIDE SQUALLISS?5/4/666?
dude. I just checked it out and this dudes is Derrick Beckles, a write for the eric andre show. He even started his own show this year (with eric andre as a write for that show) .
When I was strung out on smack.....I was working construction on 2 of 3 Walgreens Rx....2008 ??...that were built in Laredo Tx....I drove the water tanker truck and had to get it filled .....at a pump station or open handled fireplug.....sometimes took a detour to score some black tar .....saw Eyehategod in 97 at Expo of the Extreme Chicago.

this interview funny as hell 😂

Dope Tune & Rhymes. Samples On this Tune Are Dope !!
I wondered what is the name of the glasses Al is wearing, or the place to get them
Aliens.
N.W.O.

120 minutes. There are exactly 120 comments.

And in 2022 , it's obvious why they got a major record deal , complete sold out controlled op pawns .

Sorry Al, that album is fucking amazing lol!
His speaking voice kind of sounds like Henry Rollins

with sympathy i only see moron's comments ... sleeeep deeeep sleeeeep ....
Just because someone understands the way the music industry works and can explain it well on camera doesn't mean your band is worth a fuck
Yes!
everything was alright until god shat on my methadone clinic and my hopes and dreams
Edgy and articulate. Man, those were the days.
Del -"but I ain't finished, til I let the flipside ride til the rhythm is diminished"
Hang on, so he's telling us the record company is at fault for him starting off with a pop album?
You didn't catch he's like a "victimized" jerk? Talking about "dominated woman" while taking fans as tour ornaments? Still like his music, he doesn't needs to be the way I imagine a cleaver guy has to be.
killer?
Very interesting and surprising to hear that about 'With Sympathy'.
This is too good
doom metal... lol
Theyre more doom rock, even mike would agree its not sludge at all
Did you see that new interview with Mike? Recently? He mentioned that he doesnt even consider Sludge a genre and it doesnt exist to him. Hell, he even said he doesnt consider Eyehategod a metal band and more of a rock band. So i kind of go by what the singer says.
Yeah, i get what you mean now.
