Paul Taylor from original 1981 lineup

Hello, I am new to this wonderful forum. I’ve been a fan of Ministry for about 6 years now. I discovered their music via Youtube. I really love all the songs from 1981 - 1986 the most but I also enjoy the early industrial rock sound on the 1988 LORAH album.

I was just curious if anyone knows anything about Paul Taylor from the original 1981 lineup? I’ve always thought he looked cool, and wondered if he ever re joined the music scene after he was sick? I am friends on Facebook with this one guy, and he told me that he used to run into Al all the time at clubs and studios during the 80s, and he also mentioned about being friends on Facebook with Paul. I did send Paul a friend request a couple days ago, but he deleted it. I don’t know how open he is to conversing with fans? I just want to tell him I love his style and look in the 80s.

Is it you, Paul? :slight_smile:

Paul & I have been friends since before '81 although time and location have kept us apart aside from the occasional meeting here and there, usually in some Northside Chicago bar.

Top man.

Hello Mr Rob, Happy Holidays! That is a wonderful story about how you and Paul have been friends for such a long time. :blush: I am a fan from Milwaukee. My favorite Ministry lineup is the original with you, Paul, Steve and John. I did try adding Paul on Facebook earlier this week, but he denied my friend request. I figure he is the type of man who enjoys privacy and I respect that. But I really love the style he had in the 80s. They don’t make pirate shirts like that anymore. :black_heart:
