   @ray oh hell yeah. I assumed you were a fan already but I'm glad you're getting into them. They're top 5 all time for me. If you're going chronologically I hope you enjoy their 90s industrial rock as much as the early experimental stuff, that is the best era to me (and most other fans)

     @funkula I worked at a resale shop that had a huge bookshelf in the corner with 1$ cds which was stuff that didnt sell or a teen bought on accident etc. I would go through on my break and grab a huge pile based on the covers, listen to them at our listening station, and buy 3-5 a week. I also made a note to check out anything I bought or sold that looked interesting.

     So I KNOW I saw a KMFDM cd and thought it looked sick, and there's no way I didn't buy and listen to it. I was just absorbing so much new music at the time, and also learning about music so different from what I knew, even though I listened to metal and classic and all kinds of stuff still. I also had a lot of cds in a huge pile in my car so it was easy for ones to get fucked up or I'd let people take them. That's when I got into deftones too, from seeing the white pony cover. Arcade fire, meat puppets, the breeders, vampire weekend, thats how I found all of them

     @ray my story of getting into them is pretty funny, I had seen their albums in the store in the 90s and been struck by the brute covers but I had literally no avenue to experience music other than it coming on the radio or someone playing it for me (I didn't live anywhere with listening kiosks) and it had no radio play and no presence among my friends so I had no idea what it sounded like. Then as I was graduating high school Columbine happened, and in the frenzy of trying to find a pop culture product to blame, I saw it mentioned that they listened to Rammstein and KMFDM. I was like "well Rammstein kicks ass, maybe I should try KMFDM too"

     This was also the exact moment of Napster so I got a massive unorganized pile of KMFDM mp3s (including several that learned years later weren't them) and I've been following the ultra heavy beat ever since
