[kj] (OT) Ministry Tonight

[Christof hamille]

Revolting Cocks turned into a parudy of itself which was a parody of a 
parody.

Originally it was a supergroup that started during a Ministry lull (fighting 
with a record label or something)

Then it became the post-ministry wrap up tour.  A way for the Ministry 
touring band to cut loose after the grueling tour (somehow they couldn't do 
that on tour).  This was around Land of Rape and Honey (my fav) and Mind is 
a Terrible.

Sometime after Filthpig (I think...I lost inerest by this point) it turned 
into another band, independent of Ministry (maybe because Ministry was in 
another lull)

This is a perfect example of Al losing focus.  I am not going to question 
the talents or quality of work.    But what I will say is that he seems to 
come off half loaded.  I give everything a listen and it seems like there is 
no focal point.  He is making music because he is a shark and he has to keep 
swimming to live.  I think he could still do some great music but he needs 
to take care of his A D D or something.

I will say that his back up band sounds the most appealing since the Mind 
tour

And as far as Raven's beanies.  It seems like Raven either needs to be a NYC 
hardcore metal type (which he isn't...no offense), 16 years old or balding.  
And he has none of that .  Which is good.  I wear beanies all the time 
during hte winter but never on stage, at a concert or in the summer
