Frontman Al Jourgensen remembered the time when Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor worked for Ministry as a roadie, telling Team Rock:
“Trent Reznor put up with a lot of abuse from us when he was our roadie.
“We started out with throwing fire crackers in his bunk on the tour bus. He was kind of grumpy about it, but he didn’t freak out.
“Then I threw an M-80 [firework] in there and he went flying out of there half on fire.
“Later I roofied him when we were in the studio and shaved his head while he was passed out.
“I was actually gonna shave his eyebrows off as well, but he came to after I had only finished one eyebrow.
“He was kinda mad about that but I have nothing but good things to say about Trent.”
Switching the topic a little bit, Al talked about the internet, saying:
“My favorite thing about the internet is it’s great for jerking off.
“I only got online recently and my engineer Sammy went, ‘Oh, you’re gonna be looking at p*rn.’ I was like, ‘F*ck you. I’ve got TV channels that have p*rn. I don’t need the web for that.’
“But then I started seeing some sh*t that made me pretty h*rny, and I just had to sign up. It felt like registering as a sex offender.
“For the first time in my life I kind of felt guilty about jerking off.
“Then I found this site called Granny P*rn and it was totally free. But it’s really hard to jack off to because there’s a bunch of really old, wrinkly people f*c*ing. I love the web.
“Masturbation and mar*juana should both be legal. That’s all I have to say.”
