And now we move onto the bloke responsible for a lot of the band stuff, so blame him. You'll also be able to spot him a mile off, with peroxide dreads (with black tips-ooh!), a lot of black clothes, the occasional piercing (tongue, eyebrow, several in the ears) and SHIT LOADS of tattoos, on his neck, back, right shin, each shoulder, belt line, right pec and right bicep. Also he's usually going epileptic delivering his precision riffs (he writes most of the music, except when it's Paolo's turn, as well as more of the recent lyrics) to the right of the stage. He also enjoys heckler-related violence if they're in foot range.
The screaming he made from having the shin done (y'know the cover of Psalm 69-that's it, basically) was rather unworldly (if you were wondering), but that's not important right now.
Anyway, some important stuff.
Mr. Sean Toole is probably the most surreal, fucked up person you could meet, with his listening habits of KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Atari Teenage Riot, Godflesh, Misery Loves Co. and Ministry (as you would have guessed...), as well watching David Cronenberg or Terry Gilliam films, as well as a library of psycho films with disturbing regularity. He also plays basketball... On a more serious note, he's an expert at being dead, having done it twice already (drowning and a heroin OD, not bad), so allow him to be, well, as his old AOL thing said, FukTINdAHEdD@AOL.COM, although he disowned this when he got bored with it, so don't bother. Oh well...
Anyway, what else is there to say? I used the shock stuff, so I s'pose I'd better make him sound like he isn't a complete bast, but you'd probably figured that already (hey, we were in a band together, briefly), and he is really rather sweet after all, although he can be a bit depressing or distant, usually by playing Final Fantasy VII (or is it VIII?), Metal Gear Solid, some Resident Evil or other.
He also has another project (every so often)-Kafkavision (getting the title from a review of Lost Highway), which is more on the industrial side of fucked up, with more electronics than the guitar based sound of WSH. Well, you can't get more samples going, all the demos put together have about 2 hours of samples loaded into them, with many more in reserve. And you thought Ministry were bad...
