My name is SKot
I like drinking sarsaparilla.
SKot, is sarsparilla the same as root beer, or if there a difference?[/reply]
It usually is a bit more on the herbs and spices flavor.

I personally wouldn’t want them to go past Steel Wheels. Hell, I don’t even think I’d have them go past Some Girls if I had it my way!
I really like how Iron Maiden has kept things fresh on their touring set lists. When they come out with a new album they do a legit album tour, playing maybe 5 or so songs from the new album and then a mish mash of greatest hits and deep cuts. Then they’ll follow with a tour pulling from back catalog and maybe commemorating a classic album or something. The setlists are ALWAYS different regardless. Yes, they will ALWAYS play “Run To The Hills”, “Trooper” and “Number of the Beast”, but aside from those “must-haves” they mix it up every time and pull some really cool gems.
I never see a Maiden show and go . . . "Yeah, that’s the same show I saw 2 years ago, and 4 years, ago and 6 years ago, and 10 years ago . . . "

Al is lazy and greedy…posts like yours remind me of how badly he needs Paul Barker, Bill Rieflin & Jello Biafra…he’s lost without dees wonderful people & altho he’s still friends with Jello, he doesn’t spend nearly enuff time with Jello. I think Al’s biggest problem is being a poser…he feeds on the metal subculture dat Sanaz chic promotes & I suspect it’s ruined him.
I think Al’s biggest problem is being a poser…
Al is known to be more of a chameleon, both personally and musically.
Part of what made 80s (and somewhat 90s) Ministry so fascinating was how varied he was. Al would try out a style of music, set the bar really high for anyone that came after him, then move on to a different style and repeat the process.
I think Al let Ministry get too comfortable ever since the early 2000s, maybe due to his health.
I’m glad that Al has come around to his early years with these new cleo releases.
I’ll jump on the introduction bandwagon:
Louis Con Carne, long-time lurker who mistakenly woke up with a prongs account after a bout of heroic drinking about a year ago. Based in New York but quitting my job, retreating to Pittsburgh due to lower rents and expectations.
Rankings:
With Sympathy: Never listened
Twitch: 8/10
LORAH: 9/10
Mind: 10/10
Psalm: 9/10
Filth Pig: 9/10
Dark Side: 5/10
Animositiaistiaaisnnanssl: 5/10
Houses: 7/10
Rio: 3/10
At this point I lost investment in the band, pretty much just scope the albums for moments of sublime stupidity
Last Sucker: 8/10 for return of a black guy yelling, the Roadhouse Blues cover
Relapse: 5/10 for the Ghouldiggers video and the voting song
Beer: 2/10. No counting songs

Hey there and welcome aboard! Always good to see new faces here.
I highly recommend checking out the Trax Box set that’s coming out. It has the noteworthy With Sympathy tracks, Wax Trax material, unreleased stuff, side projects, etc.
It might rekindle you with Ministry. Personally I think this set is a collection of the band’s best material outside of “Land” and “Mind”
Ministry Jukebox Tour ~ (Happy Dust/Buck Satan LP play as interlude before show)
Bloodlines, What about us, Overkill, Same old madness, I’m falling, America, Work for Luv, Everyday is Halloween, Cold life, Nature of luv, Over da shoulder, I prefer, u know what u-r, We believe, Flashback, Revenge, Effigy, All day, Say ur sorry, Anything for u, Show me ur spine, Rubber glove seduction, Attack ships, No name no slogan, Hezbollah, Ass clown, World, Breathe, Burning inside, Brick windows, wanted to tell her, Never ask fur nuthin, My possession, Do u think I sexy, Supernaut, Smothered hope, He Angry, Broken, light pours outta me, Apathy.
(1st encore)~Linger Ficken Good, Primental, Mr Lucky, Friend of Devil, Change luck, Public image^^^(2nd encore)~Beer steer_queer, Sergio, Gila-copter, missing/Deity, Stigmata, jesus built Hotrod (redline/whiteline)
While sample w/trumpet & phrase, “Drag racing_dees are sensations hard to forget as they are to ignore” plays on, the entire band drops dead. They make history & change the world…roughly 2000 fans in the audience die of strokes & heart failure but all have shit eating grins painted on their faces cuz they die extremely elated & truly satisfied w/overly abundant setlist.
Terrorist groups dissolve & murderous sanctions cease & desist. Jello Biafra becomes president & Hillary Clinton-Vice President…John Travolta & Kelly Preston do reality show of their roman orgies (Caligula turns in grave)
Kanye West checks into mental hospital…Paul McCartney confesses to being die-hard KISS fan (even bigger than me) & RnR Hall of Fame finally inducts Ministry & NIN in tandem…Trent Reznor in his acceptance speech along w/Richard Patrick, Rob Zombie & Brian Warner declare that Ministry is greatest band ever while they hug each other & cry…Trent holds up both trophies & blurts out w/angst, “Ain’t got time for what ya feel, muthaFuckas!!”
Sean Puffy Combs & Jay Z both collapse of heart attack & Beyoncé does lesbo porn movie w/gorgeous Sunrise Adams. God finally visits earth: Sharts out Chris Farley, John Candy, Robin Williams & John Belushi…put on suits/sunglasses to do killer set of Blues Brothers songs.
Michael Vicks is torn apart & devoured by Rottweilers & pitbulls while Obama drinks bourbon whisky w/John McCain~they enjoy gross spectacle profusely thus begin laughing their asses off. Universe is restored & all is hunky-dory again in God’s Country…Bono gets noble prize but poops his pants during acceptance speech~pungent stench brutally kills 38 spectators including guitarist The Edge & Bassist Adam Clayton. Larry Mullen Jr starts Ramones cover band & w/his millions reopens original CBGBs in east-village of NYC. Ciao & sorry to make ur heads explode like scumzecutives in David Cronenberg’s SCANNERS!!

Agreed, I meant he became a poser lately definitely not before when he was a true innovator.

no he was never a poser he was a genrous guy. you never wanted for anything with al. total legend to me.
Didn’t the last Maiden tour consist of mainly songs from Seventh Son and Somewhere In Time?

The last Maiden show that I saw was in late 2013 and it was an anniversary nod to the “Maiden England” tour from around 1988 for “Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son”. It was amazing.
In 2007 or 2008 there was the “Somewhere Back in Time” tour which was a nod to the “Somewhere In Time” and “Powerslave” tours. It was also AMAZINGl
I have never not been completely blown away by Iron Maiden. They are absolutely incredible and totally kill it live.

Hell yeah, Dude! I was front and center for that! We saw exactly what was going down, and Maiden came out as total conquering heroes!
The crowd was fully Team Maiden on that. When Sharon tried to rally us against them everyone was screaming “Fuck off, Cunt!!!” at her. And when Ozzy took stage with Sabbath (no offence to Ozzy) people were leaving in droves.
I’m so glad to have witnessed that historic show. It was absolutely incredible.
I was up on the lawn. Yeah I did notice the crowd lessened after Sharon was done calling Bruce a prick. That was a bad day for me all around, but Maiden made it feel worth it in the end.

We stayed for Sabbath’s set, but it was disappointing. Ozzy was a slurring, mumbling idiot who didn’t know the words to his songs. Geezer, Ward, and Iommi were all putting in proper work but there was a tangible frustration on stage and it just felt like no one wanted to be there.
And since so many people had already started leaving, it was a nightmare getting out of the parking lot (we were parked in the forest). Took over 2 hours to get out. I swore off that venue after that. Finally went back again in 2013 for Maiden again, but we just brought some jobs his and stuff and did post-show tailgating until the parking cleared.
I’ve actually been thinking of sharing some of my concert tales from over the years, and Ozzfest 2005 would certainly be one of the few that would be a bit of a downer to read. Aside from being the guy that was throwing pages of the bible from the hotel into the bonfires made from trash, meeting the fat dude in the Darkthrone shirt, and hearing how horrible Criss Angel’s lisp is in real life, I’d put that whole day above C-U-LaTour as the worst show I’ve ever seen. All those fagcore bands in between Arch Enemy and Rob Zombie were bad enough (Zombie was also a bad experience, but that’s more than I feel like typing right now). Black Sabbath could’ve made it all really feel worth it at the end (moreso than Iron Maiden) but you pretty much summed it up, Gunnar.
…talk about my hobbies, maybe meet my future wife although I suspect it’s mostly dudes in here.
Unless someone has decided to make the big change in the last four or so months, it’s pretty much just filthpig and myself.

A girl?! Cool, it’s like the same feeling my staff & I use to get when a girl walked into our warehouse for pizzeria wholesale…sometimes it felt like prison cuz we only saw a woman once every other blue moon and when ur surrounded by disgruntled guidos, that becomes quite a handful, lol…
Nice to make ur aqduintance, Mooney! [angelic]
