My favorite R.E.M. album?
Utah Saints: “Two”
[tongue]
The ONLY CD that was any good was Automatic…(and now that CD sucks) As far As Stipe goes… Bring him on! I’ll shove a lead pipe up his ass in a way that won’t put a smile on his face[pirate]
SHAME SHAME SHAME on you, Farva. Go get those IRS releases from 83-87, lock yourself in your bedroom, and learn to like some good music once and for all! Or don’t, your choice.

I’ve heard them and i HATE them. they SUCK I don’t think I have a bigger Hate for anything on the planet as I do for Stipe and friends. BLECK I hope they all die slow agonizing horrible pain filled deaths!!![pirate] I’d Vote republican and tell Bill O’Rielly he’s a smart man to his face with tv cameras rolling before I will ever intentionally listen to another REM song. Fuck REM with a big arm off of a cactus tree! [pirate] if billy boy is long gone if that happens he’s forgiveble ONLY for eeking out a living but I still frown on his participation in that no talent hack band! [pirate]. I’ve heard every single member that has passed through rem has had to make out with stipe. Buck once through his drink at a airline steward. They drove their former drummer to near death! Stipe cuts open little animals so he has reason to giggle! Wish they’d retire already!
Late,

rieflin wasn’t the only “clean” member of ministry. barker’s never been a drug addict either. hardly drinks.
another snappy dresser too, btw. he and rieflin had and have a long history/friendship. i think everybody used to call them gay cause they’d go to art museums in free time on the road.

What are you goons talking about?? Bill is an excellent drummer!!! And this drummer “friend” who suggested otherwise…exactley who does he drum for??? Does he actually get paid to drum???
As for superbly devastatingly wicked drummers…definately Dale Crover.
Also check out the Jungle Drummer…he’s a live drummer who plays on the UK’s Drum’n’Bass circuit and he’s pretty fuckin nifty…as his name suggests he bangs out live Jungle riddimz! Check out his myspace… DJ Fu Vs Jungle Drummer or youtube for viewing of his incredible drumming.
Back to Bill…Wee Willy Reefer kicks ass!!!
As a matter of interest, does anyone know when Bill last played with Ministry? He was credited on Filth Pig but didnt play on Sphinctour from what I can tell.
He left during the Filth Pig recordings, IIRC.

He left in early 95. I think they used a few of his drum tracks on the album but he was gone before the “Australasia Tour” when the band played Big Day Out/Japan in Jan/Feb of 95.
Cheers, Bisquitodoom. I remember seeing in a music magazine sometime circa 2001 a short piece on Bill describing him as a “Ministry mainstay” and I knew it didnt add up.
P.S. Didnt know ‘Filth Pig’ was originally called ‘Pig Filth’.
the “Australasia Tour” when the band played Big Day Out/Japan in Jan/Feb of 95.
…and we never saw them again…
…or at all in my case.

Actually it was originally called “Pilth Fig”…
God MaggitTooth is a comic genius!
that’s bill drumming on “Reload”, that much i know.
