In the 70s, what thrash was there? Punk came on, and that was cool. But there was no thrash. There were dinosaur big bands, and that was great. Those were my influences.

I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.

Jello's Biafra kind of like my weird, retarded uncle. He's part of the family.

Rock n roll is for the young idiots, not an old fart like me.

Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.

We just did three albums in a row of shaking our fists in the air and yelling about George W.Bush and the government. I didn't think I was going to have to do three, but the idiot kept getting reelected. I just wanted to remind people that Ministry is actually a good rock band. We can do some party stuff, too.

It's all downloading. As a matter of fact, within five years, there will be no CDs.
Al Jourgensen
Our label is very digital-friendly. We try to provide some free stuff to get interest in the band, but we have to pay our artists. They have to get paid.

I'm still a recluse. I still hate everyone. I'm still a misanthrope.

I pissed away over ten million dollars On dope and crack I passed away deader than a door knob But now I'm back

There are people all over the world starving and here we are trying to get pot delivered for free we felt kind of guilty.
Al Jourgensen
I got my influences from 70s bands - Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah. When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released Money, it wouldn't even get played.

Ministry is just ZZ Top with technology.
