Fact.
Oh please…[/reply]
The irony is crushing
These fucking Al is great/Al is a dick threads are completely pointless. Do people not get sick of writing the same shit over and over?
I make my myself sick now and then but at least I’m not like Israel and I can pull out when necessary.
The truth is whenever there’s activity in the nu-Ministry camp these days it has an adverse effect on this place. There is a correlatory decline in quality around here when a hot new Ministry album is on the scene.
Congrats, Uncle J. You won, you cunt. You and your fake joint and desperate need to be an ‘Uncle’[/reply]
…what? I have been using this forum for years and believe me I’ve had more than my share of negative things to say about Al’s recent work. I’m no fanboy…far from it…
The last album I really enjoyed or even listened to in full was ‘Houses of the Mole’ if that says anything…
I was just kind of drunk digging on some Ministry stuff yesterday and figured “you know what, despite all the bullshit, Al is a cool motherfucker and I’m grateful for the music he helmed”
I have no illusions that Al wrote and played everything I love and all that. I give the Book Club their due. But Al was the one spearheading things and his charisma is undeniable and a huge part of the band.
I don’t know what this chip on your shoulder is but if you truly hate Al and Ministry so much, why are you around?[/reply]
Probably because I thought prongs was more than just Ministry, but that seems to be less the case now so I’ll probably buzz off eventually
For the record I don’t hate Al, I just severely dislike him now [laugh] It’s hard (and quite stupid) to hate someone who hasn’t actively and deliberately caused you harm.
When he could make great music you could overlook the fact that he was a little boy acting out on his insecurities like all these other rock star dicks. But when his music is shit… a spade is just a spade.
But on the topic of these sort of threads (and Gunnar just because the thread title doesn’t explicitly state ‘Al is great’ or ‘Al is a dick’ doesn’t mean a bunch of threads go down this Al loving/Al bashing route) I just can’t abide the same stuff being said over and over again. I find it dumbed down and boringly self indulgent to just go on and on about “I love Al because of …”/“I hate Al because of…”
Look I’m probably just going solo on this one but I’ve reached absolute fatigue of the Al-centred discussions (knowing full well that I have actively contributed to the boredom)
I can’t hold back the tide and there’s tens of other posters who seem to enjoy it here at present so I’ll butt out. I’ll park my ass somewhere else.
