Has there ever been a statement by Al that indicated his opinion on audience recorded video/audio and furthermore people trading (not selling) such items?
The only thing I seem to remember is that he actually bought one, to remind himself of the lyrics to “The Light Pours Out Of Me” for the rerecording on Animositisomina. Not sure how he feels about audience recordings, although Bisquitodoom has been sharing live songs here for years, to the band’s knowledge, without any apparent legal action.
So, yeah…
Just to echo what christonabun said, I know that members of the ministry camp do peruse the prongs site and bulletin board periodically (Mrs. Jay to say the least). One of the great things about this site is the availability of downloads of rare tracks. I think its cool of them to allow this…
Well… didn’t they let JLW record the Atlanta show (from memory), and that guy on latenightsinners or whatever that was seemed to have had their permission… they don’t seem to mind… you can usually tell from the bands security before you go into a venue.
Tool for example have their security confiscate any recording devices they find… but maybe that was more to do with flash photography, can’t be sure.
NIN I didn’t even get glanced at, just waved through.
RHCP I has my camera virtually in anthony’s face with the flash going and security looking at me the whole time… they didnt care…
However the guy on here selling the rock pics said that Al motioned for him to stop taking pictures at that show… but that was over 10 years ago… maybe his opinion has changed.

Absolutely.
Just to clarify, I dunno if me filming that show was totally ok’d through. What I’m basically saying is, whatever I was doing was at the time promoting the Piss Army and animositisomina.com … someone on the forum then asked if bootlegs were cool, and Al basically said something to the effect of “if you can get away with it, I don’t care”.
It wasn’t filmed for anything other than promotion. That I know. But, to my knowledge, Angelina and Al have yet to see it.
He is a perfectionist, especially live…to the point where if a show starts sucking in his opinion he’ll cut the show’s encores out. I should know, it definitely happened at the Atlanta show.
and the only thing sucked about that show was his vocal.

the most recent show (tabernacle)? i thought that show was great.
i think it’s about atlanta 2003 show
The vocals were bad when Angie was singing and several places where Al was playing. The bass was a bit one dimensional, and there were difenite problems with som eof the other musical pieces, like Al’s Mandolin in Reload (evidenced by him throwing the damn thing and screaming fuck you and flipping off som etech for not getting it right) and various other places where he is seen walking to the right and yelling a the techs… It was a good show in general but it was very poorly handled by the road crew. I should know. I was there too.
Peace!

hmmm, then why do my boot trading related threads over at pissarmy get deleted all the time??
I believe you can blame that on Rodent! Al has nothing to do with any ministry websites. Mrsjay however does.
who doesn’t think the ministry bootlegs are self generated?
perhaps a chat with the former studio engineers is in order.can anyone provide a list?jeff “critter” newel is one.
It’s funny you say that, because a chat with Critter is exactly what I’ve been trying to seek for this site. Do you happen to know where Mr. Newell is these days? I’d love to interview him.
PM me or email me if you know, please!
