cds coming gig ministry studio yes
We'll see if we ever do another Ministry gig again or not. I'm not saying yes or no yet. All I'm saying is I know there's no new Ministry studio CDs coming ever again. I promise.
hear ministry people project side society song
Let's get with it, guys: You don't need to hear a Ministry song to get political. You should be political on your own. We're just a side project to society. So do I care what people think about me personally? No. I just do what I do.
bow box christmas goes ministry wrapped
If you had a Ministry box set under your Christmas tree, wrapped in paper, 'From Beer to Eternity' is the bow that goes around the present, you know what I mean?
future interested ministry people records
I don't want people buying my records for this summer's hit. I want people buying them because they're interested in what Ministry will have to say in the future.
technology ministry
Ministry is just ZZ Top with technology.
buy intent main ministry money motive
The main thing in measuring integrity is someone's motive and intent, not how many records they sell. Our intent in Ministry was never to be big. We just wanted to make enough money to live and to buy a studio, which we have done in Austin.

You're never quite prepared for the inundation of stardom, or whatever you want to call it.

'Rock n' Roll Animal,' the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
mold sign typical
It's typical of record companies. They sign you because you're unique, and then they want to put you in a mold so they can sell records.
In Ministry, we've only had one message: Think for yourself.
accused credited music
If I did all the stuff I've been accused of - or credited with - there's no way I could make all this music. I'd be drinking myself into the grave.

I'm the biggest Blackhawks fan ever. I've been going to games since I was 6 years old.
apply best bunch
I'm getting a bunch more face tattoos, because it doesn't look like I'm ever going to have to apply to a Walmart or Best Buy.
blues collection home industrial ipod music strictly
I'm done with industrial. Seriously, my iPod collection at home has no industrial music on it; it's strictly jazz, blues and country.
