You know that old question “If you could go back in time, would you kill Hitler?”
Well, considering Al’s now committed some attrocities of his own, I’m thinking, if you’re gonna travel back in time to put a stop to Jourgensen, at what point do you do it?
I would cap him right after Houses of the Mole. I actually kind of like that album and having ONE album of sort of Bush-oriented stuff ain’t so bad. At least it was topical at that point.
After that, everything just kept getting progressively more and more awful.

Keeping with the spirit of the topic, I probably would cap Al after Greatest Fits that way he goes out on top. We got darkside and then a greatest compilation… retired at the golden hour… WIN

Who’s really to blame for the last couple Ministry albums sucking and this is isn’t counting the Mixxxes and cover albums. I’d sooner go back in time and cap W Bush. Ministry might have stayed metal but with a different theme perhaps. I think it’s more of the subject of Bush that killed things rather than the music, though the music had still contributed as they didn’t progress. No matter what the style would’ve been, things would be a whole lot different if Bush didn’t get that 2nd term.
I don’t disagree with your sentiment, Eureka Pile. But CAPPING W is a terrible idea. We’d have had Dick Cheney as President.
Better to go back and somehow make sure Al Gore got enough votes that there was no question as to who won in 2000.
I can’t really imagine Gore as president. I guess we’d be more environmentally aware. But if this were during the 2004 election then cap Cheney in the process. But yeah if you didn’t take out Cheney then we’d have 2 albums about him instead of 1 song
Would you really want to kill Al Jourgensen for making uninspired music? C’mon now…
I think as many said ‘Houses of the Mole’ should have been the last…
Yes. I really want to kill him. I’m completely serious. You may as well take this as a threat on his life and send it to the FBI because as soon as I finish my time machine I am going to murder him. I am 100% serious. This is not a joke.
Seriously, as soon as I finish my time machine, all this post-2004 crap will have never existed and this board will be kissing Al’s ass as the great genius who was murdered by some raging psychopath in a Delorean. You’ll all be talking about what a visionary Al was and what a tragedy it was that he was killed as he could have gone on for many more years making inspired music.
But I’ll know the truth. I will know that I saved you all. I will be safe and content knowing that I allowed you all to retain your idol in the godlike state we want him to be in so you can continue wearing your Burning Inside T-shirts and sporting Al Jourgensen dreadhats and talking about how awesome country music is even though nobody likes country music.
i like rio grande blood. why all the hate? good lyrics imo.
That’s actually my least favorite of all (excluding any remixxx albums and cover albums, of course). I actually prefer Last Sucker over Rio. But don’t worry. After I finish my time machine we won’t have to think about any of this ever again.

I have the complete opposite attitude. I wouldn’t mind seeing that whole album rewritten with completely different lyrics and subject matter but the same music.
I wouldn’t kill him. He’s doing a good job of doing that on his own. But I’d be more curious to see what went wrong. He went from creative to just shit for brains.

I suppose another alternative instead of murdering him would be to cap Angie . . . and then get Al back on the smack. I’m just speaking from a hypothetical and purely scientific point of view, of course.
