Ministry: From Beer To Eternity. New album

He may have STILL been rockin’ the cop hat from time to time, but it was definitely Psalm 69 era that I’m thinking of.

al: rockin’ cop hat since '82 (same old madness vid)

He may have STILL been rockin’ the cop hat from time to time, but it was definitely Psalm 69 era that I’m thinking of.

All I know is he’s wearing it all throughout the Sphinctour dvd.

In my search to see if he did wear the cop hat at all during that era (I know I’m just being a dick head fan) I found this; A live version of Psalm 69 straight from Al’s monitor. I thought it was fake at first because it sounded just like the Sphinctour dvd at the beginning, but then the song gets going and UGH. This song is nearly ruined for me. Even worse that the tracking is off on the vid.

actually i kind of liked that… its interesting at least to hear it like this

btw they used to have these bad-synched video footage with monitor or soundboard recordings for a few tracks from the Houses of the Mole tour… probably planned to have live release or something, but i guess it didnt happen

I mean, if you don’t have an actual response and are at a loss for words don’t settle for something like that, man.[/reply]
What kind of response did you want for your keyboard diarrhea?
I’ll start taking tips from you when you actually have something.

[reply][reply]I love when you guys go on your cute little fangirl tangents about Al’s appearance.

Keep dressing up like a half-assed Marilyn Manson and then get snarky when people discuss a musician’s (who clearly puts a lot of fucking effort into it) appearance.[/reply]

Oh wow I hit a nerve. Who are you anyway? A novice to the forum? You are awfully cantankerous.[/reply]

Did you ever wonder why it takes such little time for people to end up disliking you? [laugh]

One guy said I look like a member of The Village People…The funniest one came from my dad who just told me I look gay.

Surely the other bloke was saying that as well, he just wasn’t as direct as your dad?

I really like this version. From the same show:

i think Al looked in his prime during the 2003 years.
gotee,bandana,and no dreads a little chubby and having fun.

imo I don’t think anything tops late 80’s Al.

Young healthy looking. Docs. Leather Jacket. Trippy cyber goth hairdo. Aviators.

No homo though. lol

A response to my diarrhea that was a response to your diarrhea. Resulting in a never ending circle of diarrhea.

Perhaps you’re right. But he’s a hipster pothead that I don’t talk to anymore. His HPV infected ass along with his HPV infected wife can go fuck themselves.

I sometimes rock the cop hat myself. Most people like it - one even gave the Ministry nod - but then there’s the ones that don’t get it. One guy said I look like a member of The Village People, and a random chick came up to me and said “looks like a limo driver.” Those were both pretty irritating, especially the limo driver comment. The funniest one came from my dad who just told me I look gay.

Well, anytime someone rocks an “alternative” style, whether it be goth or rockabilly or whatever, you sort of have to be ready for some trash talking to be thrown your way. I wore a beret for a while. That got more than a few comments. I also used to wear some ridiculous vests and/or trench coats. And my denim LARD jacket never fails to attract attention (“Is that a DICK on your jacket??!!!”).

It’s a bit of oversimplification, but I usually tell the whiny emo goth kids . . . “If ya don’t wanna be called a fag, don’t dress like one.”

I don’t know what qualified as “hipster” in 1991, but it certainly wasn’t winning any popularity contests.

I wish I had pics of it. I really don’t know what look I was going for but I ended up looking kind of like one of those stupid NYC “Guardian Angel” dudes. I guess I just liked wearing weird stuff. I had a phase in high school where I would just buy random hats at Salvation Army or Goodwill along with other weird stuff and just wear them for no good reason.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone could wear a beret and actually pull it off in 1991 if you weren’t standing behind Public Enemy with your arms crossed .
