Really Al Jourgensen? Really?

It was recently brought to my attention that Al Jourgensen has repeatedly said that he is ashamed of Ministry's first album With Sympathy. He said that the label, Arista, forced the band to have a synthpop sound.

I find that funny because that is the one and only Ministry album I like. As soon as they went the way of Industrial I was over it.

Example of a happier time for Ministry:



Example of what Ministry became:



SIGH.

Sometimes all it takes is a pretty face and I'm sold

While I may not be the biggest fan of his music (ok, so I'm not a fan at all really), I have to admit to myself (and now the world) that I find Adam Ant strangely sexy. Sure, he often dresses like a pirate, but I can look past that.

Please watch the video below for proof of sexiness.

Totally, totally tragic

Just writing this post is making me sad. I couldn't talk about dudes in bands that were hot in the 80's without mentioning this next person. The only problem is...he is not hot now. At all. He really let himself go. It's a tragedy. I'm talking about Robert Smith (The Cure).

Will you look at that???!!! WTF happened??!! Ugh. Totally depressing. He was SO CUTE. See, this scares me because this could happen to ANYONE. All those dudes you think are hot now could suffer the same fate as Mr. Smith. Just try and block out what he looks like now and live in the past (that's what I do). Watch Just Like Heaven over and over and everything will be alright.

Hotness that spans time

I think I am going to be doing a series on dudes from bands in the 80's that are still hot today. I will probably follow it up with dudes from bands in the 80's that are NOT still hot today. There are some pretty tragic cases out there.

I'm going to start with my one true love, Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode).




He is on the right in both pictures. Holy damn he is one of the sexiest men EVAR. Do yourself a favor and go watch their music video for Halo and the one for Personal Jesus. You will not be disappointed with the sexiness that is Dave Gahan in those two videos. I think the fact that he can sing AND dance add to his timeless appeal.

On a really exciting note...tickets go on sale next week for Depeche Mode's 2009 tour!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!! I have a bad feeling about the amount of money I am going to spend for the chance to be close enough to Dave Gahan to taste his sweat. Yup. I'm sick.
