Melvins (and a ton of other bands) interviewed for Ministry documentary.

[>>>JZS<<<]

If you read Chris Connelly's autobiography (which is great, by the way), you see who was the brains behind Ministry when they were actually still any good.

Basically, the only credit Al deserves is for assembling a talented cohort to leech off, and perhaps for creating and cultivating a persona/image that gave the band mass appeal. Musically, it was all down to Barker, Connelly, Rieflin, etc. which is why Ministry sucked so hard once they had all gone.

Not 100% true.

Al actually created a ton of brilliant riffs regardless of being a douche-tard.

Houses Of The Mole was actually quite a decent record.....infact some of it actually sounded like Ministry.

Barker's material since leaving has been horrible.

Connelly I haven't really paid much attention to although I did read the book which I took with a grain of salt. Definately a great read though.

Rieflin rules. He's on the new Swans record.....also good on him for joining REM a few years back as it's about time he made some money considering how talented he is.

Rio Grande Blood has a few decent moments on it......Last Sucker had about one good riff on it......and since "ending" Ministry the stuff he's released such as remixes and covers etc have been absolutely fucking horrible. Please stop that dude from making any more records!!!!

Juan, you realize that every time you use the term "Douche-tard", I'm owed royalties.
So, mabye we'll take a buck off that Zeni Geva t-shirt ?   

And oh yeah, "If you read Chris Connelly's autobiography" ?......  

I guess I have to read this autobiography. I also think I have to dig out my VHS of "In case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" -I'm feeling nostalgic..

I had that vhs,"In case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" was their peak...imo.
