What's up with Paul Barker?

Does he have a bunch of cash saved up from Ministry? Just wondering how he could make it doing DJ gigs and touring with USSA. When I saw him on tour with USSA he was carrying his own gear and hooking it up just like a no name college band. But he seemed really happy. I’m just curious. And, the ony reason I am asking is because there seems to be some communication with him from certain users on here from time to time that might now.

Does he have a bunch of cash saved up from Ministry?

Not if Angie has anythng to say about it.
Money slut!
Late,

barker should tour w/connelly, rieflin, scaccia and svitek. do ministry and revco songs.
awesome.it’ll be called the C We Told You Tour.

by all accounts, malekko heavy industry pedals are flying off the shelves. ussa european release impending. solo stuff. remixes for other bands. movie soundtracks . the guy’s busy.

thankfully not sitting on a porch with a shotgun.

as far as barker hauling his own gear goes, back in the heyday he was in the venues more often than not directing the crews.
stand up human being.

Now that would be worth seeing.

Speaking of worth seeing… picked up some tix today for Rancid / Sick Of It All. That should replace the Ministry show quite nicely.

hey jizzwad, i couldn’t agree more. but trent like al needs the focus on him, no?

would be nice to see those two(trent and paul) on the same stage. they ARE friends. i think trent gets a focus on a look and maybe skinny v. buff ain’t happenin.
who knows.

That would be silly.
Paul in NIN, I mean.

i’d be pissed.

i HATE trent, and i find 90% of NIN’s music to be shoddy anf annoying. paul is a REAL bassist, there is no need for him so sell himself down to that cunt-fuck of a band.

paul should try to hook up with some real bands to do some re-mixing, or guest bass playing like Type O Negative, some Bauhaus remixes, or even do some work with connelly again.

Paul + Type O = My deams come TRUE.

Now if we could just get En Esch in there…

imagine ‘September Sun’ with paul playing 2nd bass in his ministry style.

or betteryet, ‘world coming down’

Oh get the fuck over it already. Do you people even realize how cliche and trapped in the late 80’s/early 90’s you are?

All of the ideas in this thread are pure nostalgia. (That being said I would also not support him joining NIN … what would be the point? The band members are just cronies…)

He should gasp do something new. Something that doesn’t suck like U.S.S.A does. I vote that he and Brody turn Pink Anvil into a full-time band with a singer. There is a lot of potential there. I have been given an exclusive copy of their second album ‘New Years Eve Party’ and can definitely see the potential of this overlooked band.

I’d like more Pink Anvil as well, but I’ll pass on them having a singer. I think the atmospeheres and samples do the job well.

I liked the little sample that’s still on the main page of this site.
I’ll be happy when that comes out.

Paul in Type O?.. I dont know, id be laughing too much to not know what to make of it. I agree with the other poster about wanting to see more of ‘The Perfect Pair’ or ‘Flowering Blight’ or whatever it was called. That sounded pretty cool. Maybe Paul should advertise himself just as Roger Waters does for his solo stuff: ‘The Genius behind [Ministry].’… even though that is hyperbolic and not really applicable to either Barker or Waters.
Or maybe Waters should team up with Al and form a new band: ‘Disgruntled Goats.’

In regards to more Pink Anvil/Flowering Blight, ABSOLUTELY. Yes.

And rusty… I was thinking more along the lines of “Kill All the White People.” [:)]

hehe see that sound would be fun with him playing along.

i didnt think of that, its closer to carnivore than TON in my eyes.

paul should do SOMETHING. and not ussa, they suck. paul should get to work before he is just too old.

sorta off topic… someone who frequents the www.side-line.com forums sent a link to their personal diary…

He basically acts as a Tech for various live acts, etc.

Here’s his stuff from the Chemlab // USSA tour… there’s some juicy tidbits in there… and it’s a great read to boot! Lot of Paul stuff…

You are gonna have to click around to get back to “Day One” of the tour…

Paul should hook up with… hmm… slayer =)

hahah considering Slayer is traditionally mixed in a way that obscures Tom’s bass playing, getting a proper bass player in that band wouldnt be a bad idea actually :slight_smile:

hehe… I was more thinking of Paul mixing his “style” with slayer… wouldn’t that result in like late 80’s early 90’s ministry sound ? [:P]
