“While 13th Planet supports both SXSW and Clown of Slipknot, no one ever contacted Al’s management to invite Al to participate in this panel, and Al WILL NOT BE attending SXSW nor participating in any panel of any kind whatsoever.”
And there you have it.
FUCK!
My ticket to to Austin tonight is nonrefundable!

Lot’s of other things to do in Austin. There’s always the bats.
HOLY SHIT!
“Visuals and Aesthetics of Metal” by Clown.
Damned if that doesn’t sound like the biggest and most unneeded waste of time ever in the history of time.
“So, yeah, Dude, like visuals are like important and stuff. You should like wear cool masks and stuff. Also fire is good. And . . . umm . . . like some pentagrams and fences or something. Just make sure everything looks awesome like us. Any questions? T shirts and CD’s are for sale in the lobby.”
where do i start…
Was there an announcement or report somewhere that anyone knows of that actually mentioned Al on the panel? I don’t even know the reason for this press release. Did someone at the laundromat tell Angie she heard they we going to be on the panel or something?
i liked how they plugged relapse in that thing… why…
^
I know, haha! The conspiracy-theory part of my psyche thinks that there may’ve never even been an announcement of Al being at said event and they’re just latching on to existing hype to get free and easy visibility.
“Ministry and 13th Planet wants to make it clear that Al Jourgensen and Ministry will NOT be opening for the Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney on the next world tour. Please visit 13thPlanet.com, however to get your download code for Erie Load’s latest ReMiXXX of “Me So Horny” with your pre-order of ‘Relapse’.”
Dearest Ministry Fans! Someone has erroneously issued a press release to media stating that Al Jourgensen will be attending SXSW
I wonder if that “someone” was Angie.
Late,
grmpysmrf
That’s pretty funny.
And, honestly, the way it’s worded does makes it sound like 13th Planet screwed up. People generally don’t issue press releases about OTHER people’s affairs. Though if one of Clown’s people misunderstood or jumped the gun on Al’s participation I guess it would be the same result.
I just laugh that they use “Clown” as the dude’s name. I don’t follow Slipknot. Do they all have “character” names now? I thought they just used number (1-9) or something.
I think I’d rather attend a seminar from “Spikey Nail Head” or “Guy With Funny Dicknose”.

Perhaps ‘Clown’ is his real name. Wouldn’t you feel silly if it was?
But honestly, what’s worse…being named ‘Clown’ or choosing ‘Clown’ as one’s own name. I can’t decide.

It’s definitely worse choosing it as your own name. The first scenario shows everyone that your parents were idiots. The second tells the world that you’re the idiot.
I like the idea that it is his birth name, though. He kind of didn’t have much choice in his future. Can’t really be a doctor or a lawyer or a physicist, can he? May as well fulfill his destiny and put on a stupid suit and a red nose.
I refer to morons as “Clown Dogs”. Got it from some movie I saw. That’s what I think of. Speaking of Clown Dogs, will Al be at SXSW? I lived in Austin for 9 yrs and never went… CAUSE IT COSTS SO FRICKIN’ MUCH!
Clown Dogs!!!
I’m pretty sure that’s from “Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead”. I’ll have to look it up later. What a fantastic piece of cinema that was!

Yes kind of like reading the endless bitching of bleeding cunts that is this forum. Yet I continue to do so.

You’re in love with Clown.
That’s MR. Clown to you lot!
His friends call him Robert. Robert G. Clown, percussionist.
Robert G. Clown, custom percussionist.
I’d like to see Chuck Woolery announce him on an episode of “Love Connection” . . .
“Our next contestant hails from Des Moines, Iowa, and it says he enjoys wearing coveralls, banging on trashcans with baseball bats, playing the triangle, and luring children into his van. Please welcome Robert G. Clown!”
