Damn that blows. Seeing Chris share the stage with Al last year was such a great experience and I was really looking forward to seeing it again.
Chris's Facebook and Instagram pages have both now disappeared...
Connelly? it's still right here: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisConnel...58254020353598
I hope he's ok.
Between the shit with Ministrys guitar player and now Connelly, this tour is shaping up to be a total shitshow.....Fire Sin. Bring Barker back and right the ship Al
Amazing. I get people approaching me to take a road trip to the states for this, hype machine starts building, and then WHAM.
+1 to the chorus asking to ditch Sin and get Chris back.
I've never seen KMFDM or FLA so, i'm more going for them than Ministry, who I HAVE seen. Really would have liked to have seen Chris there with them though.
I doubt Chris is coming back, sounds like he has skeletons in his closet too...
I get the feeling Al isn't going to kick Sin out. He seems to think he's such a great wonderful lovely guy who is integral to the Ministry sound (L.O.L.)....I just read some interview last week (probably taken before the allegations) where he was going on and on about how much he loves having Sin in the band......Shit, even Manson kicked Twiggy out after his allegations and Manson is as tone deaf as it gets lol.....Sin will be playing guitar whether people like it or not..I dont think Al gives a fuck....Only way he goes is if the members of KMFDM/FLA threaten to pull out of the tour or if these accusations and protests get larger and larger to the point Al can't ignore them anymore
as of 1/18, Spin reported Ministry's only response during the reporting was:
Gotta do better than that at this point.Al Jourgensen, frontman of Quirin‘s current band Ministry, was contacted by Spin in regards to the allegations and responded via the apparent same lawyer, Randolph Ortega, offering:“Mr. Jourgenson (sic) is unaware of any of potential nefarious activity by any member of Ministry during their respective tenure(s) with the band including but not limited to Mr. Sin Quirin.”Various other details regarding the allegations against Quirin, including exact details, commentary from other industry professionals, the emotional trauma suffered as a result and more can be found in Spin‘s exhaustive report over at Billboard.com. Ministry do not yet appear to have publicly commented on the report.
Just going to leave these here:
Lacey from the VH1 show Rock of Love??
Ministry censoring fans? Nothing new there. That used to be an Angie thing. There's quite a few people who thinks it's bullshit and that Lacey chick is manipulative and stirring up trouble.
I'm not taking sides on this. But if Sin did this, accidental or not, he should just own up already. It's not like he can be prosecuted. Thats if this even true at all. See how it plays out.
Fuck. This whole thing sucks, kinda taints my memory of finally seeing them last year. Sin was flicking his guitar picks at girls throughout the entire set (my gf included) so I totally believe that he would be such a scumbag. I'd like to join the choir of 'Please kick Sin to the curb'. It's not like he helped write any of the noteworthy records anyway.
I don't know who that is, but I think it's the same person. I just googled the name.
Googling Lacey Sculls brings up Lacey Conner with the following bio:
Born: June 10, 1976 (age 43 years), Dallas, Texas, United States
Spouse: Jonny Sculls (m. 2013)
Record label: Triple X Records

Here's her twitter. She's going off on Sin and Lucia here:

should have dropped him immediately and brought him back if he's cleared. if they keep him, this will not make Ministry look good.
heck, scrap it and do a With Sympathy tour at this point!
The day anyone seeks input from KMFD-Fucking-M is a sad fucking day indeed.
Seems like a good place for this...

3 day passes are on sale, already bought mine since it's the weekend I have off from work. I've wanted to go to one of these for awhile now, glad I finally have the chance!
I know the KMFDM and King Crimson threads already got bumped with the news, but RIP Bill Rieflin
Monster drumming from him on their best albums.
It's amazing how he was around during the prime years of two of the major industrial bands. He was a legend.
Bummer deal, never gonna get that book club reunion now.
Ministry will be working on a new album while in quarantine.

Complete Ministry discography playlist has been uploaded to Spotify. And it actually includes With Sympathy, believe it or not.
In 4 days maybe Al can fire the rapist he has as a guitar player who he is bffs with....My guess is they will just announce a new album. Considering he has been dropping shitbombs on a regular basis ever since Barker left, this brings me no excitement. If he finds an albums worth of B sides from Land of Rape and Honey/Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste....Then I will get excited
the countdown is to Midnight EST Friday. Definitely something new unfortunately.
