Line 14:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Working knowledge of [[Post Punk]], [[Industrial]] and [[Industrial Metal]] musicians is pretty much required reading for this book to make any sense. [[Mind Screw|And even that might not be enough]].
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Paul Barker's van, Icky.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: Look at [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigface#Members |how many people were members]] of Pigface!
* [[Bad Boss]]: Al can be a ''big'' one, at times.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: [[KMFDM (Music)|En Esch]]
Line 20:
** At one point, Sean Joyce becomes one to Martin Atkins.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Moreso than a [[Downer Ending]] because of the tiny [[Hope Spot]].
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Al Jourgensen, most prominently, who is also most definitely [[Hot -Blooded]].
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Steve Albini's specialty.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Phildo Owen's decision to provoke truckers over the CB radio.
Line 72:
* [[The Nineties]]: The setting of the rest of the book
* [[The Not Love Interest]]: Chris' romantic relationships always take a backseat to his friendship with William Tucker. He describes their first meeting as [[Love At First Sight]] and the book ends not long after Tucker's suicide.
* [[One of Us]]: The references to ''[[He Man and The Masters of The Universe (Animation)|He Man and The Masters of The Universe]]'', [[David Lynch]], ''[[Mystery Science Theatre 3000]]'', ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' are proof-positive.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted-- there are at least two Williams (Rieflin and Tucker); two Jims (Thirlwell and Nash); two Pauls (Barker and Raven); three Chrises (Bruce, Connelly and Vrenna) and three Michaels (Balch, Scaccia, and World)
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: The engineers, Poodle, Princess and Fluffy; a set designer, Angry Baby; one of Chris' girlfriends, Vogue...
Line 96:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Al uses "man" so often it slides into this trope.
* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Averted, though that might be because Connelly is actually from Edinburgh.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Al and almost all of his collaborators. Oddly, his relationships with his [[Yes -Man|Yes Men]] are entirely Type I. Type II is reserved solely for the non-doormats in his life.
** Martin Atkins is also very much the Vitriolic Best Bud of the other members of Pigface.
* [[Wacky Fratboy Hijinx]]
Line 102:
* [[The Windy City]]: Home of WaxTrax
* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Jim and Dannie. Both were pretty much [[Straight Gay]].
* [[Yes -Man]]: Al has quite a few throughout the book, who [[Mad Love|live to take his abuse]]. Phildo Owen gets the most page time out of them.
