josh, er "chrisx" (possibly related to nat x, malcolm x etc.) has such command
of his text editor.  i bet everyone wanted to read that piece of shit twice.

i never said you had to like it.  you're the one who said with sympathy
sucked, presumably because it's wimpy and lacks substance.  if that's the
case, explain their latest album.  i know, i know.  "that album has BALLS!!"
explain why they need 10 people onstage to play their power chords?  even
comparing prince's best work to ministry's best work is an insult to prince.
i'd like to see al play the guitar solo at the end of "let's go crazy", or
write a lyric as good as "1999" or "controversy" or "purple rain".

>hey, for some reason, the copy of the letter i got off news grazer says
>"hey there twitt" not "hey th0re twitt"; obviously you're just making stuff
>up so that you look smart.

what kind of a shithead lies about something that everyone can still read off
their r.m.i. file?

>if you can't tell the difference in style between with sympathy and rape and
>honey, you're less intelligent then i thought.

i know there's a difference, i just want to know why ministry fans can't
accept the fact that al was a new wave guy.

>if you're going to bitch about not keeping opinions to yourself, perhaps you
>shouldn't put in your own opinions. that makes you a hypocrite, just like
>you said we were!!!

please reproduce the section of my memo that has anything about meeping your
opinion to yourself.  even if there was anything there to reproduce, you would
fuck it up since you can't work your text editor.

>chrisx

boy, i guess everyone likes fucking with you.

to say i don't like industrial would be very, very wrong.  to say i don't like
ministry would also be sort of wrong.  with sympathy was great.  twitch was
better.  rape and honey was just as good.  mind.. had "so what".
psalm 69 sucks nuts.  nothing's wrong with industrial or hardcore, but there's
also nothing wrong with new wave.  if you were to log into an alternative
board and saw, "Ministry has become a shitty head-banger band."  you too would
respond.
