I think that ministry and their fans are kinda funny in that way, especially if you compare them to soundgarden. ministry are arguably the biggest act in the industrial arena, and it seems to me that if you are a fan of industrial music, then you are a ministry fan, or should at least own a ministry album. they do have that sort of overwhelming market share within their own 'little' muiscal community, and could well give them the edge over soundgarden in the fan stakes. as for soundgarden, why is it that they aren't given more respect in the world of fandom? as opposed to ministry, you can be a big fan of rock but not really be interested in soundgarden at all. is it because 'rock music' encompasses more different slants on the old drums-guitar-vocals than the number of differences within and between industrial acts? you can like pearl jam or u2, but not be interested in soundgarden (maybe because soundgarden aren't quite as commercial). or is it that the average industrial music fan is already so open to music that is widely different to the norm that they are ready to embrace *any* band from their favourite genre, while rock fans aren't always quite so ready to jump from aerosmith, green day and the rolling stones to soundgarden? my, what a wander that was :) anyhow, if it came down to ministry and soundgarden playing the same bill, they would probably have had to co-headline. otherwise it would have been a bit of a joke, with fans from both camps either screaming bloody murder or not turning up for the other band. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Dan \"Pop-tart\" Hearsch" Subject: Re: Corrosion of Conformity...

I don't know about the rest of you, but a few (if not most) of these song titles sound a bit butt-rockish. littlejoe and I were talking about it on the phone last night, and concluded that they would probably change most of these titles before the album comes out. blow up the outside world and boot camp just don't seem to compare with the magical let me drown or the day I tried to live. as for the title (sorry ross), I'm not sure that it is so good either. sure, they have a song titled ty cobb, and sure they are sometimes fans of seattle sports, but athleticism and general sportiness just don't seem to fit my mental picture of what soundgarden is. and on top of that, the title doesn't fit the postcard art steve got in the mail. either way, it either sounds a bit too jokey or much too hair farm. but I'll gladly eat my words when the record turns out to be better than anything they have done before, which it probably will. btw, kim is excellent on the twisted willie non-tribute album, and I highly recommend it to everyone. kim certainly hasn't lost any of his chops :) ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "R.
