we rarely have access to someone who was a member from “linger”(93) till A.I. (2000)

How did you meet him?

Through the MBKS (National Black Keyboardplayer Society)

I have absolutely no idea if you’re being sarcastic or not.
I think that just makes you more awesome.

Neil Diamond is doubtedly a patron of the NBKS: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x692ix_neil-diamond-storytellers_fun

Mick: You should ask Duane what the porn difference is between “porno for your mind” and “porno for your crotch”.

26

that damned neil diamond

27

28

okay, will do Gerda hey is that you at the end of traclk “Linger…” ir Patty?

Mick: You should ask Duane what the porn difference is between “porno for your mind” and “porno for your crotch”.

Keyboardists have a wholly different take on porn difference compared to us mere mortals. They are Jacques Derrida to our Alain de Botton.

Also it was keyboardists, like Duane, that pioneered the Soft Porno New Wave (La Nouvelle Porno Soft) in the 1990s.

We found a bunch of porn in the parking lot outside of the venue Ministry was playing at in Lake City Florida during the Sphinctour. It was right by the tour buses (whoever was on lead guitar at the time was out smoking by a tree, but we didn’t go up to him) so I like to think it was discarded Ministry pornography.

You could ask Duane about that.

31

have never provided vocals for anything on a record.
and i would still like some clarification about duane buford and lou rawls.

32

So it was Patty i guess and who is Lou rawls Gerta?

  • is ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’ indeed the one Ministry record where Paul Barker did most of the writing because Al was too too strung out?

  • which ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’ songs were played on the Clitour?

  • can Duane guess why none of these songs have been played since the Clitour?

  • ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’ seems to be the most mysterious Ministry album. Can he comment on that?

  • it has been alluded to that the opportunity to appear in A.I. is what saved Ministry from completely dissolving. Is this accurate?

  • what were the main influences on the music of ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’?

  • is it true that “What About Us?” from A.I. and “Shove” from ‘Animositisomina’ are leftovers from ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’?

  • does Duane know anything about the “ambient album” that was scrapped before they did ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’? Is the b-side “Happy Dust” indicative of what that album would have sounded like?

  • what is the story behind the hidden track 99 sometimes called “Linda Summertime” off of ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’?

  • was Duane personally affected by the death of guitarist William Tucker? were they close?

  • what is Duane’s favorite song from ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’?

  • does Duane ever listen to the albums he did with Ministry

  • did Duane prefere his involvement in Ministry or Revolting Cocks?

  • what is Duane doing now musically?

  • is Duane still in touch with Al Jourgensen?

  • what is his most favorite memory working in the studio with the Ministry/RevCo crew?

  • what is his favorite memory touring with the Ministry/Revco crew? what was his favorite tour?

  • what is his least favorite memory of his involvement with the Ministry/Revco crew?

  • any particular wild tour stories? particularly during Clitour?

35
  • is it true that ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’ is actually a sucky album and the fact that people on prongs.org are always cockslobbering over it is proof that they’re all mentally ill?

There you go bro that’s awesome (void head) and at the other dude who hates darkspoon you know at the time i had to push myself to like it (as i think deep down i wanted psalm 69 2) but after 10 + years and you listen to it it seems to have the vibe of the mind mixed with there rock sound at the time all while managing to be experimental give it an unbiased listen now and see what you think

(i remember wishing mikey was still with them at the time)

I don’t know how much of the tour he did, but he played the L.A. show.

With how slow and dirgey that record is I don’t think that would’ve fit Scaccia’s style to much.

You know (As i only own FP at the moment all my cds were stolen years ago) I’ve been playing FP when bored for about the past year and I listened to dark side on YT (after something like three years) and that record is so…i don’t know meaty? I really think it’s in someway’s the most realized ministry record does that make sen? I suggest, esp. if you have’nt listened to it in years, we all give it a spin. Even the barker song has so much depth to it. And the sound/production on it makes FP and even Animosit… sound like garage recordings

^ yep!
