Ministry's current drummer claims he'll be playing on the next KJ album?!?

I guess this begs the question of Ben being sacked or leaving the band 
anytime soon. And of course, there's a "next" KJ album in the works?!? HA! 
Like Jaz and Geordie plan anything past next week.

The most serious issue is, having seen Joey in Ministry earlier this year, I 
was completely unimpressed with his playing, especially on the older songs. 
Granted, Killing Joke doesn't rely so heavily on loops and samples like 
Ministry does and KJ's music from a drummer's standpoint *is* easier to 
play, but I was really floored how badly at times Joey's timing was off from 
the sampled percussion/click tracks and a quick check of Ministry's message 
board shows my opinion is shared by a *lot* of people who've caught their 
current tour. There are a lot of far better drummers out there.
