|
Jourgensen formed Ministry in 1981 after he left the band Special Affect, which was a new wave/synth pop band (notably including Frankie Nardiello, founder of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult ). Early singles by Ministry and Jourgensen's other projects were released on Wax Trax! Records . Known for appearing intoxicated in concert, guzzling whiskey and chain-smoking cigarettes while performing, Jourgensen's lyrics reveal many aspects of his life, such as his Heroin and cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and his political opinions. These were greatly influenced by the beat generation ( William S. Burroughs collaborated on some of his tracks). BANDS
