Metal Music Store: Buy Ministry albums Buy Ministry DVDs Official Homepage Ministry is an influential, Grammy-nominated American industrial metal band founded by frontman Al Jourgensen in 1981. Ministry did more than any other band to popularize industrial-metal, injecting large doses of punky, over-the-top aggression and roaring heavy metal guitar riffs that helped their music find favor with metal and alternative audiences outside of industrial's cult fan base. That's [...]

The Butthole Surfers were a very popular band amongst the skaters on my junior high school bus. I imagine that I wrote the Butthole Surfers name on a folder or two before I had ever actually heard them. It was that weird time all kids go through, I was building my identity and saw that the skaters liked the Butthole Surfers, so since I was a skater, obviously I was gonna like the Butthole Surfers....actually hearing them was mere red tape. It would be a couple of years before I had my own money and could actually [...]

Is there any holiday that you get more excited for than Halloween? Sure when you were a kid it was all about the gifts of Christmas, but now that we're all grownd up we usually spend more on Christmas then we reap. Easter is freakin' gay. Valentine's sucks balls even if you're in a relationship. I'm not a mother or a father. So I guess for me its between Thanksgiving and Halloween. Eating vs. Getting Dressed Up Like an Asshole. Hmmm, tough call really but I'll give a slight edge to getting dressed up like an asshole, because then you [...]

Bruce spielt wieder mit der E-Street-Band und verschenkt seine erste Single Radio Nowhere , die verdammt nach Neil Young und Pearl Jam klingt und mir sehr gut gefällt, was jetzt auch daran liegen kann, dass ich langsam alt und peinlich werde oder Herr Springsteen den Bogen einfach raus hat. Bruce Springsteen - [...]
