Ministry @ Wacken

You and christo are whale saving, pot smoking, tree hugging, unwashed lefties. Both of you are prone to wearing socks with any variety of sandals and smoking yourselves retarded while believing alcohol is the devil. You are both most likely vegetarians, crying for the life of a chicken while being pro-abortion.

See…there’s where you’re wrong. I’m drunk right now. And I had bacon for breakfast.

See…there’s where you’re wrong. I’m drunk right now. And I had bacon for breakfast.[/reply]I am, in fact, drinking as well. Which is why this is taking so long…I’d love to take a page from your beloved party’s booklet o’ ignorance and simply spit a bunch of retarded, stereotypical ad hominem bullshit back in your face, but I just can’t concentrate to that degree. So, rather than pointing out your horribly misguided view of the universe (which no doubt centers around your own lovely self), I’ll just refute your points.
Let’s see - fuck some sandals. Hooray for weed, though everything in moderation, of course. While I approve of pale chicks, I can’t emulate their non-carnivore lifestyle; in other words, the bloodier the better. Chickens are quite tasty, thank you.
And “pro-abortion?” Way to go with your spin, you hateful, ignorant fuck. It’s shit like that - the simple twisting of words to denigrate your opponent, that makes me intolerable of everything you stand for.
Being inebriated, I can’t help but fall into the same pattern that you and your ilk use - completely unrelated (to the relevant argument) name calling, rather than intelligent, reasonable debate that may lead to compromise (which would equal LOSING in your book, right?) This is why you can never have a satisfying relationship, and feel the need to take out your frustrations on the rest of the world - your utter abhorrence for anything that doesn’t benifit YOU in some way.
The world doesn’t work that way, friend. The day of the RIGHT has come and gone (at least for a decade - until the Democrats fuck up again and send everyone back to vote Republican - it’s a cycle, you see), and I’m rubbing my hands with glee anticipating the precise moment that your entire ideology, nay, your way of life, implodes all around you.
Will you be smart enough to recognize that moment, or stand fast in your comfortable bubble of jack-off-ery?
Perhaps, when I’m sober, we’ll have an honest debate about why you think you’re better than everyone else.

I thought this board was about Ministry…well i guess thinking is not in order.

I believe ministry/industrial fans are a little off. [tongue]

His motive is simple:

…leftist political ramblings and accusations of treason on behalf of the US government, then people might might ignore my total lack of skill and proffessionalism in a musical sense and be fooled into thinking that I may actually have something to say. And if anyone does criticise my albums, then I can vilify and publicly heckle them for their conservative political leanings thereby dissuading anyone from taking a similar course of action in the futrure. It’ll work a charm. And the critics’ll love me for it, seeing as they all seem to be Bush haters as well.

Man, I simply cannot lose!

[;)]

Opposite all of that and it works for Oreilly, in the same vein [:)] only he does it every day, unlike Al, Once every couple of years. So Who is the Bigger threat?

You’re absolutely right. Any other thoughts on the Wacken performance? I wasn’t there, but heard they put on a “boffo” show. No, really, that’s what I heard…[:P]

Sounds like a blast, but I’ll be busy crying at the Hawthorne Heights concert.
Wait a minute…are you hitting on me? Because I’m a 12 year-old emo kid, and I always wanted to tongue kiss a bitter, closeted lump of conservatism!
You’re getting me all sweaty [;)]

prog lib = polite for idiot

I won’t go into detail on some of these things but:

  1. I grew up around politics. Now notorius, Duke Cunningham was a family friend, at age 8 or 9 I sat at a VERY small graduating class for the War Colledge up in D.C., V.P. Cheny was the guest speaker. My father a grad… My family actually KNOWS the Bush family and in fact the Bush family brought certain members of my family into governmental positions after the winning of the first election. Suffice it to say, I’m one of those that can truly say he grew up in the political world; and as my father is pretty devoutly Republican, I perhaps got the strongest serving of that side of things.

  2. Though I would not elect to follow my father and enter the world of the military and/or politics, it’s probably not surprising that I would take a strong interest in the study of political science.

  3. Despite the enviroment I grew up in, I would not end up Republican…I’d also end up far from Democrat.

  4. I truly view the dual party system as an illusion, and an illusion that most notable politicians are well aware of. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin…a third major party would actually mean little more than the introduction of an actual 2 party system. If you don’t believe me, overview the details of Clinton’s second term (take his name out the picture, and one could easily argue that it looked like you were looking at the actions of a Republican President.) Also take a look at how many bills Bush has vetoed that were Democrat in origin. Finally, take a look at how many of the “major” issues Republicans have attempted to push through that Dems didn’t just complain about, but actually didn’t give approving votes to in majority.

  5. Before criticizing Dems. Actually take a read of Smith’s “Wealth Of Nations” and then comparing his outline to how we actually have structured our “capitlism” (you might see there quite different designs). Also, take some study into Republican ideaology and then compare it to the actions of the current Republican party…I think you’ll see the “Republican” party isn’t so Republican. In essence, the industrial military complex, economic imperialism, EXPLOSIONS in federal beaurcratic size, etc. are quite the opposite of standard “conservative” ideals; and in many ways, mirror the behavior of concentrated regimes/empires of the past. (don’t complain of “medialized” communist, facist, etc. if you mirror the behaviors of what leads to such).

  6. Take the same basic outline of 5, swap areas of attention/study where needed as to apply them to the Democrat party. (you just might see how similar the parties actually are and how far from their ideaology both are).

  7. Fuck 1984, go ahead and read Machevili’s “The Prince”…in fact, give it a good 3 or 4 reads…watch any media news channel you like for a full day. Read news papers the next. Then read 1984…what Orwell was saying just might finally start to sink in.

  8. Actually read the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels before you comment on communism. You just might find that the governments you’ve been told are communist are anything but (in fact, to say a government is communist is an oxymoron).

  9. Nothing is forcing you to listen to Ministry or to participate on a Ministry centered forum. You are completely free to cease listening to Ministry. Don’t complain about not liking their message and then continue to listen (that’s just idiotic). Grab the old albums you like, and cease paying attention to them.

And finally, if you are going to talk politics and make CONFIDENT statments, make sure you’ve studied your subject matter less you make yourself sound like an idiot.

I Love 1984!!! Pat Tillman, the perfect example of the Hero Winston Smith creates. I said that right away when I heard of his death the same time as when I ever heard of him. They talked about how brave he was and single handedly saving his squad and blah blah blah…I said, half seriously he probably got killed by friendly fire and and this is the perfect oppurtunity for recruitment, showing just how selfless this guy was, even when staring at the NFL. Make people feel all guilty cause they don’t have as much going for them and are still selfish about going into the army. So anyway long story short. 9 Mos later not only was it friendly fire but looking into possible murder charges…

  1. Actually read the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels before you comment on communism. You just might find that the governments you’ve been told are communist are anything but (in fact, to say a government is communist is an oxymoron).

I’ve been saying that oxymoron for years. The closest any country has ever come to communism is Fascist Socialism And they are cretainly NOT the same!!

I’ll agree with this to an extent. You should always listen to the “other sides” message but listen for information not just to complain, doing that IS IDIOTIC!

wonderfully put! I second that.

Back to the Wacken bit - here’s a link to the “official” vid from the folks at the festival, featuring one song from every band there. “Psalm 69” starts at about 1:18:50 (it’s a 2 hour video), and it looks great!
There’s also vids shot from the audience on Youtube, which of course aren’t as good, but still.

… can go out and cause some real trouble. Not just trolling sites like this one. You can take turns dying each others hair bright pink or green and go squat in front of Half Price Books with your skateboards as a form of rebellion to your parents even tho you have nice beds in air conditioned condos that some cross eyed unfortunate lisping ghetto maggot would give his last bottle of Old English and a vital organ or 2 to sleep in. Later you can make mixed tapes of Iggy, Patti Smith, and The Buzzcocks while getting baked and drawing on your army jackets with black sharpie markers.

Incredible. You sure got me pegged. How’d you do that? The only point I might argue is that I don’t see how you can consider me a troll since I was a founding member of the band. A washed-up has-been perhaps…but certainly I’m no troll.

he’s not talking about who you are/were he’s talking about what you are…there’s a difference. Symantics suck don’t they? Try another angle!

Thanks, looks & sounds great.

Joey…not his best performance.

I don’t believe you.
Look, I know you’re new here (unless you’re the same damn troll that just keeps changing their name), but you may wanna do some fact checking before bashing long-standing members of this board all willy-fucking-nilly.
It’s your choice to slag off Al and the music if you want (I can’t help but agree with at least some of what you said), but we tend to just leave it at that.
I’m here to talk about music, not randomly bash complete strangers over the internet because I feel big and brave in my anonymity. There are places to do that - this isn’t one of them (notice I didn’t say the PA, as I’ve been over there lately).
Your comments were completely uncalled for, not to mention ignorant. Please try to have some inkling of what you’re discussing before opening your mouth.

There are plenty of people here that share your political views, though every one of them has expressed their viewpoint more eloquently than you. If you want to discuss those kinds of things, keep them to the threads they belong in! If it were in fun, that would be one thing - I still like to fuck with Peligro about his abbreviations, knowing damn well that hundreds of thousands of people do the same thing. What I really feel, however, is that you’re simply trying to antagonize and annoy people, and in that case you are not welcome here. Go find some other board to troll…I’m sure the teens over at the Kittie board would be sufficiently intimidated by your bashing to boost your already over-inflated ego.

Whomever mentioned Joey - you’re absolutely right. He wasn’t that bad at the two performances I attended, but he was distracting in the Wacken vid with all those fills. It kinda took away from it a bit.

It hardly matters. He completely wrong in either case. Christ, I’ve never even owned a skateboard in my entire life. [;)]

Whoever 23 is, they have my respect and then some.

Here’s the Psalm 69 clip edited out from the full-length video and available for download. BIG, BIG thanks to K over at the PA for going to the trouble.

If you haven’t used this site before, just type the random code into the field at the top right of the screen

damn megaupload sucks. somebody please reupload it somewhere else. thanks.

I’ve got it on Soulseek if that helps, but I don’t really fuck with these kind of sites. I guess someone could use Yousendit.com?

hehe. seriously, what’s wrong with joey? not that i’m defending slipknot (i don’t like 'em at all), but still, what’s so bad about his drumming? oh yeah, he’s probably most ‘normally’ dressed out of all slipknot.
