I know a lot of my shit comes across as negative, but let me say I am going to stick in for the long haul when it comes to Ministry.
Your posts negative? Who would’ve thought that:
“Fuck Chris Connelly.”
“Fuck Raven. I’m sick of this Killing Joke bitch taking Barker’s place.”
No he didn’t replace Barker. Barker left a few years ago, on his own accord and is happy with his decision. What the hell did Raven or Connelly do to you? You think Connelly will be checking this forum anymore after that thread just bashed him without mercy? I don’t get it.
Also:
"And Hero is just terrible. Terrible. Typical heavy metal shit once again…sounds so fucking corny " - this was done on purpose. It was a joke. Surely you knew that when Al shouts “HERO!” and the guitar solo starts. This is a joke that many picked up on.
"And Psalm69 sounds like some faggot metal band like Lamb of God or something “drinking the blood of JEEESUS!!!” " - it was their #1 seller and got them big. It was also unique in it’s way.
Have opinions but when you dislike someone or something and when every post of yours is “Fuck this or fuck that”, it does come off as negative and what is the point really.
I’m not saying all your posts are like that but that’s the surface of it…
And not just you voidhead but many of you. All you guys are still attached to the old Ministry, which is fine. But this is the circle that occurs:
- “Gee, I wish Al would do something like Psalm 69. Filth Pig sucked balls!”
(Houses is released)
- “Wow this sounds too much like Psalm 69. What fags”.
Ministry has spanned a lot of music diversity over time, and with any band like that, there will be divisions (old Metallica, new Metallica, old Stones, new Stones, etc, etc).
But this forum used to be awesome with discussions. Now when I come on here, absolutely anyone associated with Ministry is slagged off. I don’t even check this forum anymore because of those reasons. This now seems like the Piss Army when that first started. People have been slowly wondering away.
Take Rantology for example. There were threads on here about the album before it was even released which bashed it to no end. Is it the first time a band released a compilation? Puppy did it. Twice. New Order does it all the time. Alice In Chains too.
But it was cool that Al reworked many of the songs. It was not meant to be a new album and he didn’t have to re-record vocals and instruments on a lot of tracks, but he did. He spent time on it and remastered stuff himself for it. It simply wasn’t yet another “Best Of” release which many bands do, yet, before it was released it was immediately renounced. At least be open minded and fair in your judgements…
This is the pattern of this message board:
- Revco will post some news he finds from the various sources.
- the 10 replies to his post will be bashing/flaming the news.
Many also bashed the pre-order. They exist for the reason that sometimes it’s hard to find Ministry releases elsewhere. This was requested by members of PA and Ministry listened to them. Also the CD direct from Ministry for $11.98 and 50 free song downloads is better than purchasing it for $14.99 somewhere else. If you don’t want to buy it, fine, but are posts like “Ministry are whores for offering pre-orders” really true and necessary?
