PAUL RAVENING RETURN TO PRONG?
|
|
Gearwire has recently conducted interview with the legendary bassist Paul Raven. A few excerpts are follows:
On upcoming projects:
"I am going to El Paso next year to record 'The Last Sucker' — the last MINISTRY record. It is going to be interesting — a lot of songs, a double CD maybe. . . After MINISTRY there is a new PRONG record and with that there is an opportunity there to use a lot of different effects; of painting a bit of a different picture."
On MINISTRY music's political bent:
"For me politics and punk rock went together. That has been handy about my association with Al [ Jourgensen ] and his Bush bashing. I have tried to keep my musical roots intact. I have lived in America so long I feel entitled to state my opinion. 'Maybe I can put a foot on George Bush 's ass on his way out of the White House'."
On whether he has changed what he plays over the years:
"Mostly I haven't changed what I use but I have changed how I play. But I play less hard so I have somewhere to go dynamically. Chris Chaney from JANE'S ADDICTION does that. Its something I picked up listening to that dude. Previously I would bash away."
