REVCO + AL JOURGENSEN: TOGETHER AGAIN

Jourgensen puts an end to the “rumors,” goes flex-time with the Revolting Cocks.

Sometimes it’s hard to retire gracefully—just ask Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons. We expected more of a commitment from Al “Alien” Jourgensen, however, when the Revolting Cocks co-founder/frontguy was talkin’ about pullin' out of the band. Now he’s saying he’ll stay… at least for a few choice dates, says a press release sent out earlier this month.

In the release, Jourgensen said, “Much like Menudo does or the Blue Man Group, I was going to hand the band over to this younger generation of RevCo's, to Sin [Quirin/guitars], Josh [Bradford/vocals] and Clayton [Worbeck/keyboards], kind of franchise it out. I think that these three knuckleheads capture the true essence and spirit of being a Revolting Cock, if you will. But, this album turned out so damned good, I think I'm going to stick around for a while.”

He went on to heap praise upon the RevCo’s new album, Sex-O Olympic-O. “This is the best RevCo album I've ever done. As a matter of fact, I think this is the best album—including Ministry, Pailhead, Lard—anything I've ever done, period. Production-wise, song-wise, I'm really, really happy with this record. It's the first CD I've ever gotten back from the mastering studio that I didn't have anything to bitch about. No complaints. I listened to the whole thing and just went, “OK, that's a wrap. Let's go!’”

There’s only one problem left, says vocalist Josh Bradford. “The challenge will be coming up with a name for the RevCo tour, since Al already took all of the RevCo-appropriate tour names such as CliTour, Sphinctour, FornicaTour, and MasterBaTouR for Ministry. We'll probably have a contest on the RevCo MySpace site and ask the fans.”

No, no. Dude—BLURT has gotcha covered.
