You ain't lying. I've seen Ministry easily over twenty times, probably over forty. Al was, IMO, the absolute coolest guy on the planet in the late eighties to nineties. Now he's a side show freak. During one festival I was working I became friends with a guy who used to work for Al. This was in the mid to late 2000's. He told me Al had all of his toes amputated but the big toe on each foot from shooting heroin into his toes (more accurately in between them). I didn't want to believe him but Al later gave an interview to Spin, or something like that, talking about how he had to have several toes amputated from "stepping on a nail." Heroin really destroyed that man. It's always sad when that happens, but Ministry was really a seminal band for me.
