Supernaut?

As if it weren't badass enough that Ministry was bringing Jello Biafra on board for several west coast tour dates - you know, so they could play some Lard tracks - We got an email from a fellow named Brad that says "Tonight, 9/25/2004, Los Angeles, House of Blues. Trent with Ministry singing Supernaught. Thats All."

This is apparently from Ministry's booking agent. Is Brad being hopeful or prescient? Show's in a couple hours, I think, so we'll know later tonight.

In case you didn't know, Supernaut is a song by Black Sabbath that 1,000 Homo DJs covered - originally with Trent Reznor on vocals. Apparently due to a tizzy with TVT Records, Al Jourgensen had to remove the Reznor vocal track and dub his own vocal take. Nonetheless, the original edit was soon found on bootlegs, and only officially was released on the TVT "Black Box" boxed set.
