I wish my name was Tsimfuckis.
I like his point by point denunciation of the Jonas Brothers.
“You’re gay”, “You can’t sing”, “Shut the fuck up already”
I don’t like fans of technical music and very skilled musicians who think all other artists are shit just because they can’t play as fast as them.
All this and not ONE person has yet mentioned Limp Bizkit.
They had fans?

Yes. And I believe most of them work in hardware stores now. Or in liquor stores. Or mow lawns for the council.
great thread.
I got nothing.
Everything I would have mentioned has already been mentioned.
Except maybe teenage Dead Kennedys fans. At least, they were obnoxious when I was a teenager.
I missed some obvious ones (Manson). The only reason I say NIN, is that their forums are FILLED with dbags that talk about how much NIN makes them cry, crying when they hear “hurt”, crying during their last tour…They do have a lot of cool fans though, and their fans document, record and upload tons of stuff. That’s nice.
As far as String Cheese, that is really SCI, the Dead, or Phish, they’re interchangeable.
The Disco Biscuits have fans that other hippies call “Tree Thuggers”, bc of their gangsta/hippie blended style. It’s funny watching them dance on drugs.
i know these doesn’t really count as band fans, but here goes-- teenage and older biafra spoken word fans.
and i was kidding about the bowie fans. i’ve known many fine lesbians who dressed like bowie (in his various incarnations) at the shows and they felt justified. somehow.
i think i’m just tired of bowie, that’s all. would be interesting to revisit his earliest catalogue.
(ex)Ministry fans. A bunch of elitist 30 somethings and ex-band members who do nothing but whine about the latest Al Jourgensen abomination and call fans of other bands elitist. They lead dull lives but conversation sometimes drifts to the old days when they drank and did drugs during the ‘Mind’ or ‘Psalm’ tour, at which point scornful talk of Al’s alcoholism and the deterioration of his mental functions is mandatory.
Any fad or “look” is scorned. Dressing in jeans and a band t-shirt (if the wife/longtime girlfriend allows) is by choice, and anyone who does otherwise is just an angsty “non-conformist” goth. The (ex)Ministry fan has totally outgrown his “rebellious” days and now spends his time deriding fans of other bands that were popular 10 years ago. In fact, the (ex)Ministry fan’s entire perception of what is mainstream and widely popular is frozen in time between 1998 and 2000. This is partially due to the fact that most (ex)Ministry fans reside in Australia.
The (ex)Ministry fan often poses as a moderate but is in fact a liberal douche (except Peligro), poses as a non-elitist but is in fact an elitist, and pretends to be a sociopath but is actually just an average middle class person.
i don’t consider myself an ex-ministry fan. i don’t live in australia.i could give you a several hours long, days long directive on style and culture which would make your head fall off. some here are older than you and been around the proverbial block. if you don’t like our views you have a choice to “groove elsewhere”.my ex-roommate said that, and i’m conscientious enough to give credit where credit is due.
chill out.

Should we start a new thread so we can talk about Hunky Dory being his best album (Low being a close second), The Man Who Sold the World being his first real album, how his 90’s stuff is severely under-appreciated by people over the age of 40 (estimate), how his Deram-era stuff is strangely compelling, how The Laughing Gnome is probably one of the worst songs ever recorded, and which unreleased track is his best hidden gem (my money is on either Right On Mother, or When I’m Five)? Because I would have those discussions.
do it. i will dig out my bowie 7 " single bootlegs, courtesy of greg pickett at the chicago wax trax store, who curiously got permission to make these things.

ha! this post is WIN!
ICP, yeah, that’s an easy one.
I’ll go with skinny puppy fanatics. i lurves me some puppy, but every now and again i get the need for some type of song structure, and i hate my opinion being devalued by them because i sometimes want to listen to music, not an aural experiment.
NIN fans can be the same way to a point, but trent seems to make more structured compositions. i don’t’ like how there is always 12 different mixes/versions of some song, and you’ll be all" hey, i like such and such track" and they are all “you’re an idiot! everyone who is anyone knows that the fancy pants mega mix released on a 3 inch cd in 1994 is the definitive version of that song!! i can’t believe you don’t own this $400 special edition record with it on it!”
early early bowie as in david “jones”?
worst band fans would probably be like those celebrity fronted band fanatics… cause it’s borderline that whole tmz/parex hilton/stalker/paparazzi/worste mansonite devotationality (is this a word)
david jones. yes. fuck. one of the early boots i have is of that era.
wempathy may have these as well.
Clay Aiken. Especially the ones who were irate when he shockingly revealed he was gay.

Sorry, but you’ve just made yerself look like a massive wanker right here.

Al’s latest output truly is an abomination when you line it up against what he used to be capable of, or what Paul Barker, Connelly and even Max Brody fer chrissakes, have released in recent years. Indeed, Al’s output is more digestible; but that makes it’s all the more easier to shit out, flush away and forget about it.
-
There really aren’t that many Ministry, let alone, ex-Ministry fans in Australia. So much so (much to my disappointment), Al booked a venue that’s capacity exceeded Ministry’s fanbase and had to cancel the tour on account of a lack of ticket sales.
-
If I was to be frozen in time between 1998-2000, that’d mean I was reliving the glory days of Pokemon, Tamagotchi and the Backstreet Boys (or in my case, Korn… <shudder> [crazy]). Why? Because I was 10-12. Hence, I find it difficult to relate to the glory days of the Mind Tour on account of the fact I was still shitting my pants and the only drugs I ingested were the crap they put in baby formula.
-
As for ‘posing as a moderate but is really just a liberal douche’, I’m more inclined to align myself with right-wing politics. But then again, I can’t stand most politicians and am not a staunch supporter of any party. I’ll critique the right when criticisms due and grant credit where it is due likewise. If you’re going to attack me for what I’m inclined to agree with, that indeed makes you a narrow minded, elitist douche. [;)]
seriously, most ex-ministry fans are from Australia? you base this on maybe 3-4 people on a little forum on the net?
specccciiiiaaaaalllllllllllll [:P]
(ex)Ministry fans.
Then they’re NOT fans then. They’re ex-fans - which doesn’t address the thread topic.

- makes wanking motion with hand -
So…people here who have criticised the Bush Trilogy are has beens with ‘dull lives’ who do nothing but relive the glory days of the early 90’s when they were ‘rebellious’?
Generalisation? Much?
There are probably the odd or two that drop by here now and then who would fit that description, however I’d say most people who frequent this forum are Ministry fans who just want to hear good music not recycled thrash riffs, tepid drum machine programming and cheesey lyrics about Bush. Again and again and again.
I can’t speak for everyone here but if Al J put out a great record (artistically, sonically, creatively great) tomorrow I’d be all over it like a rash. I don’t care if the guy drinks or takes drugs - just put out a fucking good album!

I have never heard anyone here say this. If you want to be a goth then be a goth. But do it quietly. No need to stand on rooftops screaming "Look everybody I am a GOTH!!!’
This is partially due to the fact that most (ex)Ministry fans reside in Australia.
What the fuck have ex Ministry fans in Australia have to do with anything? Are you refering to the incident where Ministry recently failed to even sell out The Palace in St Kilda (which is a fairly tiny club sized venue) and then made up some bullshit story about dodgy promoters so as not to end up with egg on his face??
Maybe Ministry fans in Australia woke up to the fact that Ministry’s music is crap now and just moved on.
I think this has been festering…
I think void’s just pissed cause everyone shit all over his MWAT song. Then this thread came up and probably pissed all over the bands he’s a fan of so he took it personal. (Why? I have know idea!! I like guns n roses but I wouldn’t consider myself one of those generalized fans so i don’t feel shit on- Also, I know the fans they’re talking about with gnr and i completely agree they’re wankers!) And to go along with that, quite a few here rip on Manson’s image, which I’m sure he takes to heart 'cause you could tell by his poses in his “promo” pics that he’s all about mimmicking manson…
just a twenty-something tantrum, perhaps he’ll grow out of it…
Late,
