- BRILLIANT! Let the alienation of the fan-base begin!! Al has tacked
- back over his "fans" more times than most. I'm starting to believe
- Al when he says his musical genre is "aggro" -- shake-n-bake,
- channel-surfing, postmodern smorgasborg. If Buck Satan & the 666
- Shooters (which I was under the impression is not yet recorded)
- sounds like nothing AL has yet done (perhaps other than the "dualing
- banjos" lick of the "Beers, Steers, & Queers" remixes), then I for
- one will be pleased.
-
- ...And if Al manages to slough off his admiring hordes, maybe the
- concert ticket prices will drop out of the stratosphere. (yeah,
- right.)
-
- Reality
-
- P.S. And anybody who complains about Hank being played at Ministry,
- obviously never sat through a Swans show. Old Blue Eyes and a band
- that doesn't show up until after midnight. Now THAT's torture!
