Ahh, that's a tempting response, but I'm torn between that and someone else's
suggestion of Stabbing Westward. I think the other poster was right to say
that the worst bands are those who are just cheap ripoffs of popular bands,
a category to which Manufacture, though pretty bad, doesn't really belong.
However, that criterion does suggest several more, including all the Ministry
ripoffs like Skrew and Big Catholic Guilt, NIN ripoffs typified by the pathetic
first Sister Machine Gun, and multitudinous Front 242 ripoffs (can you say
"prayer tower"? I knew you could). In the category of derivative crap, I think
Stabbing Westward still wins, just for the sheer chutzpah of mixing the NIN
imitation with an equal amount of Pearl Jam mimicry, and also because anyone
who has heard "The Cyberflesh Conspiracy" knows that those guys actually had
some taste and talent before they signed with Sony, which makes the sellout
all the worse.
Then again, there are albums which don't sound like anyone in particular but
still just suck. The new Front Line Assembly is a wonderful example.
Manufacture, Mussolini Headkick, etc. also belong to this category. Finally,
there are bands which are marketed as industrial but aren't -- Engines of
Aggression, Mona Lisa Overdrive, etc. etc. and they all suck too.

>Ahh, that's a tempting response, but I'm torn between that and someone else's

Stabbing Westward is certainly one of the shittiest albums I've ever heard.
Violent Mood Swings is the worst attempt at mimicing nin thus far. I also
think that Marilyn Manson deserves a nomination for worst industrial band. I
know that they are not truly industrial, but they are just as much as
Stabbing Westward, White Zombie and all the other metal-with-samples groups
out these days.
Your welcome to your opinion, even though I disagree with it strongly.
The worst industrial bad has to be Lab Report. It is a whole bunch of
noise that annoys the hell out of you. It's definitely not worth
listening too.
I have to disagree with that. I have one lab report album, fig x-71, and I
found it far more enjoyable than TDS. (Assuming that was one of the things
you were comparing with...) It's great to listen to if you are in one of
those demented states of mind. As for the worst, I don't yet have an
opinion yet. (Yeah, wasted bandwidth...)
Sunil
I think Lab Report have their place. I don't *listen* to them that much, but
they're great background music, and radio DJs will agree that their shit is
great to talk over.
I forgot about Marilyn Manson! Thanks for reminding me of how much they suck.
I had hope for them since they're labelmates w/Coil (soon, anyway)
How about Ethyl Meatplow in that same genre of bands marketed as industrial,
but aren't really, and suck a lot.
One band that is at least semi-original that do suck, that I forgot about
in my first post would be "A Split Second" Easily, the WORST live show I've
ever seen. The sound sucked, they looked like Def Leppard, and the cheesy
octopad shit they were doing was off more then it was on.
You know what's really bad about A Split Second is every once in a while
they come with an amazing intro. Like the intro to Mambo Bitch on the "From
the Inside" album. Just enough to let you know that they have talent, but
prefer to squander it...

Actually, I'd say that there are a ton of bad industrial bands that have
gotten nowhere because they thought the way to the top was to rip off
Skinny Puppy or Nitzer Ebb or whatever.

fact that Puppy is your biggest influence), Stabbing Westward, etc.

I vote for Laibach, after the Sympathy stuff.....
just me, though..
maura
yeah, but the old laibach is wonderful.
if you want to piss someone off with over gratuitous drum beats, the live
version of nova akropola does quite well.
the older stuff allows them to stand
Well, before SW went into this Pearl Jam mode, they released Violent Mood
Swings on a compilation put out by Chase of Re-Constriction Records. It's
actually an excellent song. It's too bad they sold their keyboards and bought
guitars.
Manufacture...If you even want to dignify them by referring to them as
industrial..
I agree with you on Nitzer Ebb. Gives me a headache just thinking about
them.
My vote goes to En Esch's solo album Cheesy. I don't know if this album
was supposed to be industrial, dance, techno, or rock, but nonetheless it
sucks in all four categories. How can a member of such a great band
(KMFDM) make an album that is so... bad.
My vote for the MOST MEDIOCRE INDUSTRIAL BAND is Die Warzau. This band
inspires no feelings in me at all, neither good nor bad. It's like the
muzak of industrial. There but not there. Very zen.

EXACTLY. I couldn't believe somebody hadn't mentioned early Ministry-which is
easily in the running for some of the worst stuff in ANY genre. The only way
I can see them not running away with first, second, and third place, is if you
don't even consider the early work industrial.
Random
In several interviews Al J. said that everything has been done already. I
tend to agree with that. It's all in what you do with it. Just because a
band is heavily influenced by another band doesn't necessarily mean they
suck. If they bring something of their own to it, then I don't really
mind. Not every band can be "ground breaking." I mean everybody talks
about Ministry as if they were SO original. Al himself said they sampled
ZZ Top among others. Some bands are more obvious than others, though.
Also, keep in mind alot of these band are relatively new ( only one or two
albums), and haven't really found their own "sound" yet; they're still
feeding off their initial influences ( remember what Ministy's early

>Severed Heads by FAR.
You're listening to the wrong Severed Heads stuff man!!!!! Try the early
noise works, they're great. Especially Earbitten LP and Clean LP (if you
can find em)
xdadax
Severed Heads are EASILY one of the most interesting artists associated with
this genre. The stuff on Since the Accident and City Slab Horror rank as some
of the greatest tape loop/musique concrete/collage industrial since Piere Henri
and tracks like Dead Eyes Open and 4wd rank as the greatest techno-pop since
Kraftwerk and TG's United. The most recent Severed Heads track are amazingly
innovative pop songs, with unique and creative programming and sound design.
If you like stuff like Throbbing Gristle and old Cabaret Voltaire, i would
recommend Since the Accident, City Slab Horror, or Clifford Darling to anyone.
IF you're into skinny puppy and that sort of stuff(i'm not) listen to the great
Come Visit the Big Bigot with Dead Eyes Open. Tom Ellerd is probobly the most
creative person working in "industrial" music.

cheesy. And you are right- they really suck live.

Yes. In San Francisco. They were dressed in this goofy-assed plastic
day-glo body armor that made them look like rich pre-teen skateboarders.
They were the most arrogant, full of themselves band that I have ever
seen. Most of the time when a band is on stage and they are stinking up
the place, I end up feeling sorry for them. I instead wanted to douse
these worthless twits with gasoline and light them on fire. At least they
would have then provided the audience with some entertainment.

That's just simply not the case; Coil is an outgrowth of Throbbing
Gristle by way of Psychick TV. Throbbing Gristle pre-dates The Severed
Heads by several years. Tom Ellard himself admits that he came in at the
tail end of the Industrial period (SH started in 1980, TG broke up in
1981). Severed Heads are great, but they could hardly be said to have
"pioneered" Industrial music.
> True, their recent stuff is garbage, but you can't knock them for what

While I prefer earlier Severed Heads stuff, I think what Tom does now is
interesting and well-done as synth-pop goes.

And you need to get a grip yourself, RaVel; that last statement is patently
untrue and also answering flamebait with flamebait. I've gone on at
length about how I thought that free speech didn't cover the harrassing
e-mail he sent to Ben Chang (though I'm loath to recommend calling in

have no idea what you call industrial, but old RevCo is the heart of it.
The title cut, We Shall Cleanse the World, 38, Union Carbide aw man, you
just can't beat it! Too bad "You Often Forget" wasn't on that album...
As for twitch, yes, it has some bad songs, but the 12" of Over the Shoulder
is definately worth getting.

Ahem. First of all, an apology. I wasn't sure _who_ make the anti-gay
remarks, (if you looked closely at the top of my last post, you could tell
that I stated as such,) but was merely agreeing that that kind of
intolerant language was uncool. So if it was "John Weber", so be it -
_he's_ the one I was addressing, then. Secondly, DONT YELL. It's
unbecoming. In the case of a misunderstanding it's a lot more productive
to converse about issues than to fly off the handle. Third, I _did_ look -
and couldn't quite tell - for who wrote the offending message. So, on the
record, I wasn't intentionally trying to 'brand' anyone. That's not in my
nature. Why would I write against intolerance while taking an intolerant
stance? that's counter-productive...
Again, apologies for the misplaced quote, I meant no harm.
(I think I figured out the thread, and you were also quoting the
intolerant person in question? no?)

P.s. I apologised privately to Johnson as well.

What does CV have to do with it? Most of the original industrial was
dancy, I don't know what you are talking about. I grew up with all of this
shit, living a block away from Wax Trax, which at, the time, carried all of
the industrial you could think of (not necessarily on their label) Richard
23 was the key to the old RevCo, then Al went psycho with SSP and all of
his thrash Ministry stuff.
So what the fuck do you like tuff guy?

CV have quite a lot to do with it as do Nitzer ebb, white house, cindy
talk, foetus etc....
IMO Industrial is what you make it and bands like ministry are
extreamly late coming on the scean and have had little worthy of any real
credability just like Mr NIN. the bigist load of Hype shite, total wank,
bollocks, oh pity me, stupid, muther fucking, bollox going.
But I love it all the same ;-)

FOETUS!
Flame me, flame me all you want. Let me die in a fiery hell! All I know is
I once had the Nail album and when I tried listening to it, I felt
embarassed about owning such crap. Way too goofy sounding for my tastes.
They should scrape Foetus off the wheel and dump J.G. and the boys down
the toilet.
MHO,

Gotta disagree with the Nitzer Ebb part there. I love Cindytalk & Foetus, I
think that they're both extremely innovative, but Nitzer aren't/
Don't get me wrong, I love Belief, That Total Age, & can even tolerate
the nine million mixes of Warsaw Ghetto on So Bright So Strong.
But, Nitzer Ebb ARE NOT INNOVATORS!
If you own DAF's "Alles Ist Gut" "Gold Und Liebe" or Die Krupps "Stahlsymph"
It's pretty obvious wher Nitzer Ebb got their sound from.

John. There's a newsgroup devoted to people like you. I think it's called
"alt.flame.faggots" or something.
You're drifting WAY out of the subject of the thread, and wasting bandwidth
here. They'll love you on whatever that homophobe newsgroup is.
Please post something RELEVANT TO THE THREAD.

no need to worry: with such a ridiculous and cowardly outlook i don't
think any queer in his right mind would WANT to "rump ranger" your ass.
i sure as hell wouldn't.

The funny thing is, this Weber guy is probably just a closet
"queer." One-in-eleven males are genetically homosexual, and an outright
homophobic reaction is almost a sure sign. I have a friend like this --
bashes homosexuals like there's no tomorrow, yet he is obviously gay. It
must scare the hell out of them.

you liked that album? i've got it, but the only decent (or halfway so) song
on there is, hell, i forget the name of it, but it's the one on the first
industrial revolution compilation. i gave the rest a thorough listen once,
and just couldn't stand it.
actually, if you know anyone who wants it, i'm willing to sell :-)

Remember when you were a kid, and your mother always said that if something
bothered you, if you ignored it it would go away? 10 year olds will always
be 10 year olds. *WE* know how tough this guy is, so now that we know, maybe
if we ignore him, he'll go away?

John apparently has a problem. It's called "a lack of appropiate medication",
I think.

You know what? This isn't even about* NIN, but I don't care.
I'm a queer and the only thing I would "rump ranger" your punk little ass
with is my size 9 combat boots. Heh. (I feel so juvenile now.)
Why does it seem that every homophobe thinks that a gay boy actually
wants to screw his unwiped ass? It's usually the ugly ones too.
Thing is, phobe-boy, I'm a girl and a queer and I wouldn't screw you. So
deal.
(Truthfully, everybody, I just get sick of this shit. I have a lesbian
mom and I myself don't let gender get in the way of those I love. So to
hear any kind of music referred to as "faggot shit" as if that were a bad
thing just gets my g-string in a bunch. Forgive my juvenile response.)

Back to the topic at hand. Anyone out there from the S.F. Bay Area and saw
Front Line Assembly live at The Edge in Palo Alto on their last tour?
Well, what was the name of that one band opening up for FLA that tried to
burn an American flag and took half of their last song to get the damned
thing lit? Well, just for that pathetic attempt at being "Shocking", I
believe that they deserve a vote for worst industrial band, whoever they are.

Well, this is nice (said with great sarcasm). Not only is our beloved
friend J. Weber ("the advocate of tolerance") a homophobic bastard and
racist fuck, but also a rapist. He sure does reveal more about his
disgusting self with every post he writes. What a waste of human being.
Enough for today,

Does this mean that we'll now have to change the thread to Fucking Homophobic
Asshole And Child Molester?
Oh by the way, I'm surprised that you can actually get the thirteen year
olds. I thought the only women you could ever get were inflatable. Those
poor girls. Bet it was hell for them when they were playing "Let's find
little Johnny's weewee".
Gee, can't wait to see what will be revealed in the next episode of John
Weber's True Confessions. Could it be a secret lust for sheep and cattle?
Could it be him having sex with a tree's knothole? How's about
necrophilia?
Oh, and to tie this in with the discussion of industrial, I'll leave this
out for a topic of discussion: "NIN are industrial but not alternative".
Discuss.
Ashamed For Actually Paying Mind to Mr. Weber,
