History YMMV / ConcreteBulletproofInvisibleAndFried

** Al and [[{{KMFDM}} Sascha Konietzko]] almost come to blows over beer and then make up when Sascha gives Al a Patsy Cline shirt. Awww.

** [[{{KMFDM}} En Esch]] makes out with Tucker onstage.

** Al's relationship with Ogre, on the other hand, is in a class all by itself.

*** Al eventually invites Ogre to tour with Ministry and is highly annoyed when Ogre brings his girlfriend along.
** Chris Connelly and [[TheNotLoveInterest William]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners Tucker]], full stop.
*** Their first meeting is described as:
----> "It was LoveAtFirstSight; we were inseparable for the whole tour."

*** Chris and Al repeatedly bicker about everything under the sun but also repeatedly (direct quote) "kiss and make up." The HoYay reaches critical mass, though, when they fight over Chris' friendship with a woman Al doesn't like.

*** Chris and Al bicker non-stop,about everything under the sun but eventually (direct quote) "kiss and make up." The HoYay reaches critical mass, though, when they fight over Chris' friendship with a woman Al doesn't like.

*** Someone refering to the large crop of musicians he surrounds himself with as his, uh, "Boy-Toys."

---->He (Al) seemed to be determined to tell the world that he and Ogre were tight. He should've just thrown a press conference, or just bitten Ogre in the neck and sucked his blood, no difference.
**** Al also seems annoyed at Ogre for bringing his girlfriend, Cyan, along during a Ministry tour.

** Al Jourgensen has HoYay with... well, pretty much everyone. His closest relationships tend to be one of two types: SlapSlapKiss with AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moments (with Paul Barker, Bill Rieflin and Chris himself) or MadLove (with Phildo Owen, Jay, Poodle, Princess and various other [[YesMan Yes Men]]). Such moments include:
*** Someone refers to the large crop of musicians he surrounds himself with as his, uh, "Boy-Toys."
*** Al throws a tantrum after finding out that [[TheLancer Paul]] went out drinking without him.
*** Al's relationship with Ogre is in a class all by itself, however.

*** Chris describes a meeting with Al and Paul as being like parents announcing to their kids that they're getting divorced.

His closest relationships tend to be one of two types: AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther (with Paul Barker, William Rieflin and Chris himself) or MadLove (with Phildo Owen, Jay, Poodle, Princess and various other [[YesMan Yes Men]]).

** Chris Connelly and [[TheNotLoveInterest William]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners Tucker]], full stop.
*** Their first meeting:

*** They go on to become quite the duo, dismantling hotel rooms, playing pranks on tour managers and other band members, etc.

** Connelly describes his first meeting with [[TheNotLoveInterest William]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners Tucker]], thusly:
--> "It was LoveAtFirstSight; we were inseparable for the whole tour."

** Martin Atkins has a lot with the members of Killing Joke and ex-bandmate, [[SexPistols John Lydon]].

** Connelly describes his first meeting with [[TheNotLoveInterest William Tucker]], thusly:

* FoeYay: Even more than straightforward HoYay:
** Al Jourgensen and Richard 23 are just a ''little'' too obsessed with being mean to/about each other.

** Al Jourgensen and Richard 23 behave like a feuding divorced couple for most of the book.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** On [[SkinnyPuppy Nivek Ogre]]:
--> His name conjured up visions of a renegade from some dreadful "sword in a stone" fantasy. He was a shy one; polite, likeable... He was nothing like the Renaissance Faire jousting [[OurTrollsAreDifferent troll]] I had imagined.
** On Front242:
--> They had cornered part of the dancefloor occupied by a lot of people who were too frightened to admit they were in love with DepecheMode and liked to play at soldiers.
** One of the first Revolting Cocks gigs:
--> Luc, done up [[HellbentForLeather head to toe in leather]], looked like someone fired from the set of ''Cruising'' for eating all the catering. With Luc's [[LeatherMan leather cap]], and Al and I's [[BaldOfAwesome shaved heads]], when the three of us were singing "TV Mind", we couldn't have looked any more [[ManlyGay gay]].
** About an interview with {{MTV}}:
--> I remember Al [[BoisterousBruiser being Al]], Ogre [[TheQuietOne being silent]] and Martin [[SmallNameBigEgo being pompous]]-- his interviews always made him sound like a Time Lord elder from DoctorWho, or worse, [[LargeHam Davros, Creator of the Daleks]].
** Connelly and Tucker get bored and, with the help of a screwdriver, dismantle everything in their hotel room.
** A long-missing Al suddenly re-appears at a soundcheck for a gig the Revolting Cocks are playing with Killing Joke on New Years' Eve:
--> Al was dressed head-to-toe in a pure white formal cowboy suit, complete with an insanely large [[NiceHat Stetson with a brim that practically filled the theatre]]. He looked the nightmare offspring of Cher and [[{{Dallas}} J.R. Ewing]]. To say he was in a bad mood would be like saying GenghisKhan was an interfering busybody. He stood, purple-faced on the Vic stage, pointing in the direction of either band members of equipment screaming, "YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS!!!" ... No, he didn't really, he just kept yelling, "Guitar: Unacceptable! Keyboards: unacceptable! UNACCEPTABLE!!!" I really wanted to chime in quietly, "[[DeadpanSnarker Stupid hat: unacceptable]]", but it was neither the time nor the place.
** On the [[YokoOhNo girl]] Ogre brought along with him on the first [[SuperGroup Pigface]] tour:
--> A strange purple-haired skeleton with a shrieking voice. She was quickly dubbed [[HeMan Skeletor]] by the ever-affable Raven.
** Pranks on a Pigface tour:
--> [[SarcasmMode In a display of compassion and friendly concern]], Tucker and I covered Ogre's comforter with hundreds of tiny plastic spiders while he was off the bus one day, in order to lend credence to whatever paranoid delusions and hallucinations he may have been suffering... we're here for ya, pal!
** A drunk William Tucker attempts to come onto a businesswoman in the seat next to him on a plane. Instead...
--> Before we had become airborne, Tucker's head was all the way back, mouth wide open, snoring like a drunk rhino.

* CharacterAlignment: Pretty much everyone is either ChaoticGood or ChaoticNeutral. A few, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement who shall not be named]], occasionally verge on ChaoticEvil.

** Martin Atkins has a lot with Geordie Walker and ex-bandmate, [[SexPistols John Lydon]].
* HoYay: Quite a bit.

* We'reStillRelevantDammit: ''A lot'' of the various people encountered have this problem.

** The suicides of Jeff Ward and William Tucker in 1993 and 1999, respectively.

--> "It was love at first sight, we were inseparable for the whole tour."
