YES!!! Grumps is in tha house!!! Are you gonna wear your Buck Santa hat?
Fuck no. that cheap ass “oriental trading company” hat doesn’t even fit. depending on how violent the kings fans are I may go in my regular ministry concert gear; Ministry beanie and Devils Niedermayer Jersey. but I don’t want to end up like a giants fan at the dodgers game if you get me.
we carpooling homie?
Late,

I don’t know . . . are you rollin’ solo or with the missus?
I had a room booked so I wouldn’t have to worry about driving back if I had a few adult beverages, but if you’re driving anyway, maybe I’d just stowaway with you.

Tonight!
I might not be wearing a bandana (as I haven’t yet found it) but I’ll look pretty much like this, so if any of y’all Prongers see me, feel free to shout at me and I promise you an official high-five for everyone.
I’m a really fickle social butterfly so I’ll be running around all over the place, but I’ll be with Grumpysmurf much of the time too. We’re probably gonna be hitting Yard House about 6pm.
anyone need a ticket for club nokia tonight? i should have one extra for cheap ($20). let me know and we can exchange phone numbers or whatever
cool, looking forward to meeting u guys. ill be leaving diego about 4, so that should be plenty of time to get some drinks. Ill be sporting a classic ministry shirt I picked up at a swap meet.

Saw Ministry tonight in Belfast, Al was in great form and talked a lot, he seemed soberish, he really liked the crowd and kept commenting on how great Belfast was. He did refuse to play another song until someone rolled him a joint at one point, and he wasn’t joking. Someone from the crowd duly rolled a joint and passed it to him, and the show continued while it was passed around the band. Fuckin’ rebels!!
Great show, anyway, i really enjoyed it, Al seemed to love it and all my friends had a great time. A few of them had never seen them before and thought they were excellent.
I know most of the folk on the forum here really don’t enjoy the Ministry of the 21st century at all, i personally do, but even seeing them for the 8th time this was the best mood i’ve ever seen Al in. Excellent show anyway, gonna see them in Dublin tomorrow again.
The setlist did not vary by one fucking iota from what’s been played on the tour already, which i’m sure will surprise nobody[:)]
That joint story is hilarious.
At first it seemed he was joking abot the joint, but he just stood there and flat refused to do anything until he got it. It was a weird moment.
He was smoking an electronic cigarette because of the UK’s no smoking policy, but then he got his joint, and later he asked for a cigarette. It was pretty funny to see cigs raining down on him, white flashes in the stage lights.
He said “There’s a 10,000 Euro fine for this, but you can go ahead and fucking bill me for it, and another 10,000 for the joint too”. A strange and funny show, with a very, very talkative Al, i have never seen him in such good and garrulous form.
He said “There’s a 10,000 Euro fine for this, but you can go ahead and fucking bill me for it, and another 10,000 for the joint too”.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 Percenters!
Al doesn’t have 10,000 Euros to burn. He just knows nobody was actually going to do anything about it.
Well, first off, no way is the fine 10K Euro. Secondly – I’ll be the first to rip on Al for acts of douchitude, but that’s still pretty funny and badass.
I reckon it’d be the venue that’d be charged anyway, but you’re probably right in that nobody even cares enough to do anything about it. In Northern Ireland we use pounds rather than euros, so he was wrong there, and it’s probably more like 100 quid rather than 10000.
Apart from that, i found it very funny, and admired this little meaningless piece of defiance. The joint seemed to fuck him up a bit though, he made a mess of Thieves after that and looked like a rock n’ roll Richard III by the time he left the stage, he was limping and hunched over pretty badly.
He also did a groovy little dance for the whole set too, reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen’s in the video for Dancing in the Dark.
Some nice Dublin footage on Youtube today:

that’s a tiny venue! would have been cool to see them there.
cool story! i kind of feel bad for being so harsh with him :P. even though i talk shit, i would have definitely gone to see them if they came to canada :P.
Yowza! Brutality! I’m a bit old and decaying now so I don’t do a whole lot of pit action either. I get winded way too easily and then it’s just embarrassing leaving a mere minute after jumping in. .
You really should lose weight then.

As Gunnar gets ready for another awesome night of bat-action…
wow that post was from over a month ago
I know that gunnar looks fat in that bat picture but its all cock. Well, that’s what amlux’s mom tells me.
*can’t believe your mom told you that she and gunnar call it “bat action.” But maybe she’s telling everyone.

Dammit, Luxy! You had 2 months to come up with a zinger or a seething diatribe and that’s your best offering? You’re really losing your magic, Dude. Can’t you babble on about how I’m a corporate goon who just wants to bang my head and shake my fist while chugging Budweiser? What about calling me a closed minded Phiistine who will never appreciate the genius of Tool and Rush? Come on, Kid. Dig deep down into your whiny ass bag of emo faggitry and come back with something you can be proud of.
