Ministry: From Beer To Eternity. New album

Ministry covering old DM?! Does that mean Al’s going back to his synth-pop roots? I hope lol.

I wish they would call the album ‘From Weed to Eternity’ not ‘From Beer to Eternity’ too. I love listening to early Ministry while smoking a bowl!

[reply]If you like Skinny Puppy chances are you don’t give a crap what people think of your music.

Chances are you also don’t:

-Practice good hygiene
-Have a monthly income of over $1,000
-Own a car that was made in the last 25 years
-Have a High School diploma
-Own a clean shirt

I’m just happy the Skinny Puppy fan was stupid enough to take the bait. It’s so great to watch Gunnar smack morons like this around. Almost as great as listening to my hero, Sir Paul, play the bass.

I just hope the Skinny Puppy groupie is stupid enough to keep this going for a few more pages, and something tells me he is [laugh][laugh][/reply]
Four outa five ain’t bad…

Hmmmm.

If that dub/reggae track makes it on as an instrumental, it could move the LP into ‘not completely shit’ territory. But there’ll probably be some cod Jamacian patois that’ll make Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion, whatever he calls himself these days) cringe.

It’s a shame, as I remember counting down the days to the new release and the new tour. Now, can’t be arsed.

Hahaha that’s some funny stuff deadguy. Utterly untrue but funny. You high school kids crack me up. I’m doing quite alright thanks. Smack down bahahaha

[reply] if you haven’t yet, check out the Brap 2CD the one disc is Bites era instrumentals, and also check out cEvin Key & Ken Marshall “the Dragon Experience” on Metropolis…same deal Bites era stuff, all instrumental. Also The Tear Garden “Tired Eyes Slowly Burning” has (well the CD anyway) The Centre Bullet with Edward Ka Spel of Legendary Pink Dots on vocals I’ve liked both bands since Puppy’s VIVIsectVI and Ministry’s LORAH…

Brap was one of the first ones I ever heard. The instrumentals really turned me on to the group. The CD-ROM stuff was cool at the time too. I remember the video clips and the interactive discography. The other stuff is cool as well. I feel a little ashamed to say this, but I own a physical copy of every Skinny Puppy related release. The Tear Garden and Doubting Thomas certainly my favorite of the side projects. Ohgr is pretty good. Hilt and Download are hit and miss.[/reply]

that’s all good stuff, no shame there. Thanks for the support! Doubting Thomas The Infidel is probably my fave all time album. Feels kind of proto-FSOL or mid era Orb.

unlike YOU I don’t use forums as MY diary.

Hey, now!!.. It’s more of an “interactive” diary, and I think they’re called blogs now! So go easy!!

Grumpy is, actually [strike]along with akbar,[/strike] the smartest [strike]people[/strike] person here.

There is no reason to involve Akbar in this. Just me will suffice. [:)] and did I mention I completely agree with this statement.

But he seems to like you so that’s just you know a dick move on your part I guess…

Yeah, Ya Dick!!!

Actually that’s no dick move at all. You really got to understand gunnar. To not understand gunnar is probably to be offended all the time. With respect to gunnar’s posts, I think the only ones to date that have been serious are the Scaccia posts.

If you view gunnar (and even me for the most part) as the fourth being on Mystery Science Theater 3000 he shifts in to focus more easy and his context becomes clear. Combine that with his love of arguing ANYTHING depending how his mood strikes him (whether he agrees or not with the point he’s arguing) and you have gunnar.

For a quick example see how he rips on you for having to mail order your H.I.M. bracelets, basically insulting you for liking H.I.M. and then in the next post talks about how awesome H.I.M. are.

Gunnar is here for his own amusement and if someone else can find humor in his posts then great but if not he still finds it funny.

Gunnar ripping on amlux and gerda while often times is quite brutal (and yet still funny) is not personal. Although maybe was a little personal with gerda.

Anyway, gunnar’s rip on me about barker was more a nod to my beyond stupid fan boy ways at this point. I didn’t take it as malicious, just more of an opportunity for a joke. I don’t take myself so seriously that I can’t take a little barb that is actually true in the over-all sense of what he was getting at.

Anyway, you will never “win” with gunnar (or me for that matter) because we will literally argue forever. I’d say Gunnar is a little more hardcore than I am but it’s the same idea. When we sometimes go up against each other it usually ends because one of us PMs the other and we negotiate a truce for the sake of the sanity of others on the board. [:)] and even though it appears to get heated it’s never as ugly as it appears on the surface. Shit I’d go so far as to say it’s never really ugly at all, it’s just two dudes trying to outdo each other and the more brutal it gets the more the other heartily laughs.

You will never “win” with Deadguy because he is here to piss people off so by the mere act of responding to him means you have already lost. So, unless you can make an awesome joke at his expense from one of his overly silly posts, you are better off ignoring him. Once you start defending your position or attacking his, again, you have already lost.

Alright before this post actually gets farther into the TL;DR zone I’ll end it.

the summary of it all is Gunnar is amusing himself it’s not malicious.
Late,

oh I know Grmpy I know, and actually I am not looking to win, this is fun times. The fact is you guys will never win if that’s what we were actually doing here. I am Sagittarius, we live for endless debate and dead horse kicking. (I would humbly suggest I’m the “you” of Litany in a way) None of this is taken seriously, I’ve been interneting since it was dial-up BBS’s in the late 80’s. I know trolling, done trolling fed trolling etc…

In all seriousness it’s completely hilarious to me that this forum and back in the day the FLA forum despise Litany and have such knee jerk reactions to it and Puppy. Al loved Puppy so much he wanted their singer! It’s a great place that’s had its bad moments for sure but, you know, people enjoying sticking with legend over reality, just like waiting in vain for a good new and interesting Ministry album I guess.

I mention Akbar, because he’s Gunnars friend, and he also posts relevant and cool music links. I like your style Grmpy, like that dog biting your pant cuff you can’t shake off but instead of incoherent growling it’s page after page of quotes and follow up. (you’d think I’d enjoy incoherent growling though eh?) I’m not hating on anyone here, and you can blame the man with many bands I guess for waking the Krackin’ … Deadguy…meh I don’t rate, kinda feel bad for him really. PS really dug Flowering Blight when I listened to it last night.

Happy Zombie Jesus Holiday! I’m going back to play Nerf war with my kid now…

PPS why does this forum when you click a thread always start at page one? instead of the last thing you read?

Nice post, man!
Thanks for the compliments.

It starts on the newest post if there is a new post, if there is no new post it starts at the first post. If it’s not doing that for you it might be something you can fix in your profile.

Skinny Puppy fan --------> Man Love --------> Herpes

Seems to be the natural order of progression.

I can’t blame you for getting jealous. I remember how upset I was when I caught my honey, Sir Paul, smooching with Chris Connelley. It was the first time I’ve ever been jealous of a Record Store clerk who makes $9/hour.

But then I put on my limited edition Pink Anvil CD, signed by both of Al’s lapdogs, Max and His Greatness, and I forgave my hero.

THAT’S A DAMN LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!!!
They never made that much hourly.

Oh, great… someone who defines their personality by their bullshit astrological sign.

That’s like those people who act like assholes and then use their ancestry/nationality/race as an excuse. “It’s the Italian in me, Tony. That’s why I’m such an insufferable prick.”

Hey at least I gave a reason to be an asshole unlike You who seems to just run with it unconsciously.

Ah yes and herpes the gift that keeps on giving. I am surprised gunnar you haven’t got it yet with some of these fabulous people … Or vegas…

That was your attempt at giving a reason for being an asshole? Because you only succeeded in making yourself look like a dumbass.

I am completely aware and conscious of my assholeness.

Well of course not, the asshole part comes from the scorpio part of me. And yeah you are a tightly wound up easily hurt pouty child. Good job on you for achieving your goals! Yay you! Throw a party!

[reply]The people on the Litany forum are MASSIVE vaginas.

…and yet you’re the butt hurt one. “Nobody pays attention to my attention whoring over there! waa waa waa” every time Litany is mentioned here. mwuh. [crazy]

there, feel validated now champ?[/reply]

just a l’il reminder of how this started and who’s being vaginas. Your fury and outrage are as Al would say “ACCEPTABLE!”… and thanks to those who can take a joke.

Now back to uh , Ministry’s new album… [laugh]

What exactly am I pouting about and what gives the impression that I’m “tightly wound”? I could not give a shit less about anything that happens on here. It’s just fun making people cry over the internet.
