@ SVII-5AM ROTFLMAO I was thinking that too! Frankly, if this cheeseball is Al's good buddy be afraid, be very afraid. Perhaps their next album will be Without Sympathy and it will be a flaming Gay sequel to With Sympathy. I'd buy that too!
@ r3mote NIN didn't need gimmicks like that. They had their videos playing and posters hanging in Tower Records and other huge consumer music chains. They had all the goodies corporate marketing could buy.
Honestly I lost interest in SP after the original lineup was gone so I have no idea what their marketing gimmicks may or may not have been.
I saw Ministry a few years back in Norfolk VA with the Revolting Cocks. Revco was the shit! Ministry not so much. I left early after my ears started bleeding from too much treble-hyped, mid-scooped guitar.
