Southern power electronics.

Somebody’s gotta do this.

I can’t believe this little gem of grmpysmrf’s slipped everyone by…

Oh, all the sudden somebodies butt hurt that I ripped on your “avant garde smart music”

I heard that in my head out loud in a hick yokel voice. I’m still laughing as I type this. [laugh]

Too funny, I kinda know what you mean in that every time I see the aussies have posted I always read their posts in the voice of Paul hogan. I always laugh out loud.

Weird you’d read mine like a “hick voice” considering I’m not from the south or anywhere near it. maybe they don’t teach geography down under. Not your fault, second actor on the left in a cut up plastic milk jug for a mask.

Dani Filth invented Black Metal.

Ville Vallo improved it.

Now, if we could just get Erie Load to perfect it.

Where does Dimmu Borgir fall into all of this?

Southern power electronics.

The best.

Trent Reznor invented Emo…

… Trent Reznor supported Slam Bamboo

Rent Treznor is Tent Zerrnor

Don’t forget Trent was in Option 30.

oh dear. as much as some of you think i hate al, well i don’t. “he” continues to engage and amuse.

I never really thought you did. I just know you hate Martin Atkins. CC’s Pigface stories were hilarious!

Grmpy, listen to this and quit fucking knocking fennesz. a’ight?

very melancholy…

gotta admit, the piano is not bad and the noises do go well with it.

but isn’t the piano sakamoto?

just the fennesz noises by themselves would kinda suck.
Late,
grmpysmrf

yeah, but that’s the point.

it’s one thing to just make noises.

it’s another to apply them in a manner that actually compliments the music and takes it somewhere else.

that’s what having an ear for music does.

Something crossed my mind - not into the kind of metal that Ministry turned into or anything, but I do know Scaccia is talented. However, is it possible that if Scaccia rejoined, and just eased up on the metal and more or less kept the riffs but lost the butt-rock aspect of it…and Mark Thwaite or whoever came up with melody like that Xmas song…

that it could be a decent, and I mean DECENT, record?

Reason why I ask is, I remember this song from 1993, by Greta:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=548f-mpZSJc

Aside from the obvious, the fact that it clearly sounds like it’s from 1993 and is third-rate Candlebox at best, the guitar work really got me…

What if Ministry turned into this?

It could go one of two ways:
a) It could be really melodic, hard-rock (ala “The Light Pours Out Of Me” or “Brick Windows”), or
b) It could be really generic, like good old Greta

In which case, if it’s the latter, who cares? It’s not like the last three Ministry records were really original or anything. It’s just as disposable as any other hard rock records.

It would be interesting. But Al even said that it’s the heaviest stuff he’s done. And going by memory, didn’t he reference RGB? But with Saccia and sobriety, etc, maybe we can get something a little more coherent. It’s not like we’re getting another thrashy bush album afterall. But when I read that, I immediately thought something like Great Satan, which Saccia contributed to.

It’s one of those dumbed-down moments. I don’t know if they both could do it, but, if they DID…

Could it be as generic as they sought out to be?

I would gladly take a ‘Houses Of The Mole’ part II.

That was the only part of the Bush trilogy that still sounds somewhat decent IMHO.

Mainly because it doesn’t sound like thrash-by-numbers [cool]

I sound like a broken record, but I think the real drums on Houses make a big difference. I think it’s one reason people prefer it to the other Bush albums, even if they don’t consciously realize it.
