I've been a Ministry fan since I first heard Stigmata at the tender age of twelve at a teen dance club inside the infamous Texas Bluebonnet Palace
while my parents waltzed to the County Classics in the main hall.
I had been waiting for a song I liked and when Stigmata started playing, the rest of the crowd got off the dance floor and I jumped on.
I danced my little heart out, looked like I was stomping cockroaches but my heart was in it and I loved the song.
All the other teens started snickering and laughing at how I was the only one out there, when suddenly two HUGE dudes wearing camo pants and jump
boots jumped on the floor with me and busted out their moves.
I was so greatful I wasn't the only one who liked that song.
When Psalm 69 dropped several years later my Senior Year, I was hooked.
Seen them twice in concert.
Always a great experience.
Great people.
We got any Ministry fans here?

I like ministry. Listen to most of the mind is a terrible thing at least twice a month when i drive to the office. With that said, i would never take
moral advice from Al Jourgensen. Never. Dennis Leary joked about the amount of drugs kieth richards did like it was unrivaled. I guarantee kieth
richards is a role model compared to Al.
Al has gone through his shares of battles over the years. He had a small nightclub in Austin in the 90's and rumor is he was kicked out of town
because of all the Heroin being dealt there. I lived there back during those days, but never ran into him because although I love the music, I am not
into the drug scene.
Saw them with Korn (I think) way back sometime in the 90s. Have (had) tickets to see them next week with Front Line Assembly and Helmet, but the show
was postponed until next spring and the lineup changed. FLA and Helmet replaced by The Melvins and Corrosion of Conformity. Would much rather see the
first two, but oh wells.
Might as well keep the tickets since they're first row.
Oh man. My roommate and I used to blaaaast Stigmata to get amped up for rugby matches in college. Played for 10 years or so after college. Before
every game. Stigmata!
My favorite weapon... is the look in your eeeeeeyes! You're all out of lies.... You're all out or lies.
Crouch. Touch. Engage! My understanding is the ref's scrum commands are different now, but that Stigmata four beat drum riff always played in my
head locking into the scrum.
