and everyone else is in the spa. c’mon. drummers get a workout, but so do guitarists. so do some singers–think david yow.
DRUMMERS FINALLY GET THEIR DAY OF …(something)
i have had the privilege of knowing many drummers and yes, they are all perfectly fit to kick my stupid ass. but so is everyone else, at this point.
some drummer commissioned this tale to counter the endless drummer jokes.
later.
mc hammer. good one.
probably has something to do with the clothes…
Is that why Mr Buck Satan always slouches over the mic stand these days? Out of breath?
al’s always done that shit.it’s part of his shtick. and he’s done great guitar work when he felt like it.
these days, i don’t know what’s up with big al.
but i do recall some of the ministry and cocks shows where everybody was dripping wet, grabbing the towels prior to even hitting the dressing room–that kinda crap.
it’s an extreme excercise in making noise. amen…
Was it the Animositisomina tour or the DSotS tour where he had that mic stand with a built in seat?
At least he doesn’t have to sit down through half the show.
Interestingly, Peter Steel had to sit a lot when I saw Type-O last year. He’s a freakishly large man. I wonder if he’s got bone problems or something.
The last time Ive seen Al I was actually pleasantly surprised with how animated he was. He might lead the most unhealthy life possible; however, performing live is a significant amount of exercise…
throwing up yer guts is good exercise too
sorry, not having the best day here…

Menudo and beer. You must have it.

Not only live but practice too. I was in a synthpop band a few years ago and practiced about 3 times a day only knew 4 songs and i would get tired after 2 songs. I remember thinking to myself one day " how do those fuckers do this". My throat would hurt also just from singing, and its not like i was yelling, its fucking synthpop i was singing in almost my normal voice. I guess i just dont have the singer gene.
throwin’ down some menudo right now…thanks, man.
Played with drummers who were really well-toned, they do after all have the most physical work to do but that doesn’t make them good athletes. If anything, most of the drummers I’ve known are a bit stiff. Not really all that athletic and not all that fluid in their motions.
FWIW…Uncle Al was a pretty good athlete, at least once upon a time. Used to play catch with him a lot. We were both baseball players in our youth. Tossed the frisbee around too, stuff like that…even seen him up on water skis. The guy had pretty good hand/eye coordination which is something you need to be a good athlete.
tell us you have pics of big al on water skis! (be better than the stupid squirrel repeats, anyway)
yeah drummers are weirdos–no better way to say it. i don’t know about the issue of them being stiff tho–rieflin’s been doing tai chi forever .true story.and he meditates a lot, and drives everybody crazy whilst drumming the tables in restaurants.
(btw, i ain’t be listenin’ to no boy bands–just havin’ the soup)
back to business.
i’m barely sitting down and now i’m pissin’ my pants.
kudos to you senor carmangary.
oh geez. now i may have to listen to some menudo…just to get the whole vibe goin’…
special ed.: Fuck yeah.
carmangary: FUCK YEAH. [laugh]
Nice one carmangary!
The Al head in that pose reminds me of the Journey video game from '83, with the photo’d heads on disproportionate 8-bit bodies. Someone, quick, program an old school Ministry video game. I’m sure we could come up with an objective in about, oh, 5 seconds. Gotta do it JRNY style with the photo heads. Al water skiing…hmm, made me think of Fonzie jumping the shark on Happy Days for some reason.

Oh, MAN… I remember reading about that cabinet in some gaming magazine, and I instantly was dying to track one down.
anybody have any al/ester williams shots–water ballet, that kind of thing?
(just askin’…)
hey, this sounds like a cuban exploitation game. i like it…
Ha - I played that Journey coin-op once at Funway Freeway. Totally pimp.
I think a good Minstry video game would consist of Jourgensen facing off against 3 versions of himself. With Sympathy Alain, Twitch/ Revco Al, and Psalm 69 Al. Basiacally different versions of himself from different recording periods. Various objects you could use to smack your opponent ( or your past self in this case ) would include bone encrusted mic stands, wine bottles, and pimp canes.
The inevitable bonus round would consist of seeing how many backstage groupies you can pork before getting an STD whilst being chased by Missus Jay with a frying pan around a huge labrynthin / maze.
Dude. Yes.
If I had totally 1337 haxoring skills, I’d whip up a hack of Mortal Kombat featuring Al, Paul, Chris, Missus Jay, Sin, etc. in a multiplayer duel to the death.
Best feature: Mr. Connelly replacing Scorpion, the trademarked “GET OVER HERE” replaced with “I’M A KILLING MACHIIIIINE!!!”
