More quotes by Al Jourgensen
Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
Al Jourgensen
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.
Al Jourgensen
It certainly is gravy every day above ground right now, after kicking that heroin habit. I've been given a second chance in life, and I don't want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.
Al Jourgensen
I'd still prefer to do five nights at a club than one night at Allstate Arena.
Al Jourgensen
Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.
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.
Al Jourgensen
Jello's Biafra kind of like my weird, retarded uncle. He's part of the family.
Al Jourgensen
Everything shapes you to be the person you are today. Sometimes hard lessons pay off dividends.
Al Jourgensen
Rock n roll is for the young idiots, not an old fart like me.
Al Jourgensen
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.
Al Jourgensen
Ministry is just ZZ Top with technology.
Al Jourgensen
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.
Al Jourgensen
I feel great. George W.Bush is leaving. We're leaving. It's all perfect timing.
Al Jourgensen
It was the worst night of my life. George W. Bush was reelected, and then I knew I had to do another couple of albums about this idiot. Then I had to play in front of 37 people. It was horrible. I was crying. I was freaked out.
Al Jourgensen
If you remember the ‘90s, you weren’t there.
Al Jourgensen
I've never seen the Osbournes, I've never seen Paris Hilton. I'd rather read than watch reality TV. I'd rather live life than watch somebody else living it.
Al Jourgensen
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally otherwise, forget it.
Al Jourgensen
Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs. It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.
Al Jourgensen
I'm male gigolo. Professionally? I don't think I've ever done anything professionally.
Al Jourgensen
I'm for Barack Obama. We gotta have the Muslim cell in there just to piss Rush Limbaugh and the right wing off.
