bruh!!! 24 hour party people is a pretty hilarious movie about that era...well, the joy division part isnt hilarious, but the rest is. definitely worth watching if youre into movies about music.
this fatty thread took a weird turn into talking about the kind of music he would never ever listen to. he probably thinks these bands are all a bunch of f***ing f*gs. but then again, it would not surprise me at all to learn that fatty did a little sidelining as a goth DJ at 80's night at numbers at some point in his life.
YES. Great movie, it's just that 20 years is a long time, and I don't remember all that much of it. I'll rewatch it soon if I can.
You need to be in the proper time and place and, uh, mindset. But you're not totally wrong, a whole lot of Ministry songs kind of sound the same. "Land of Rape and Honey" and "The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste" are my 2 favorites from the late 80's. And later, "Jesus Built My Hotrod", which is a total classic. They were very crazy/fun to see live. NIN, Pretty Hate Machine, somehow has not been mentioned yet in this thread.
I am struggling to make the jump to that type of music. It is different from what I am used to from roughly the same time period Ratt Poison Motley Crue Twisted Sister etc
VERY different. I was more of a Metallica/Anthrax/Megadeth/Slayer metal guy, in JrHigh at least, so industrial music kind of melded in later. Then I had a fake ID and could go to Bayou Mamas and Red Square and Emos and places of that nature, and I had friends with very nice sound systems in their cars, so the "techno" sounded great and was just another natural genre. And there were girls, dancing, always.
80's era-ministry was VERY different from this...they started off more like an american version of depeche mode. i cant think of too many bands who evolved their sound as much as they did. the band was living in a compound in driftwood back in the early to mid 90's. jourgenson was a massive junkie at the time and he kept getting raided. they eventually got run out of town by the sheriff. i lived in travis heights at the time and i would see him wandering around south congress, presumably trying to score drugs and/or hookers.
Nah he would have been one of those people yelling slurs from their pick up window as they cruised Westheimer while we waited in line to pay out cover, take our X and have a good time.
We should keep this thread going but instead of talking about marriage, let’s talk about industrial music, electronic music, goth music, and any other music that the thread starter would not like which is pretty everything except country music. It’s a great way to illustrate the power of the board and it shows that anything can happen on the BBS!
