Ministry are a lot better than teh Busted

Thanks to you I am now imagining Busted covering Stigmata.

*resurrects thread*
I think Ministry should be appreciated more around here.

Just One Fix is a classic.

I also recommend the extended version of Jesus Built My Hotrod.

*listens to that song*

Whatever drug they were on when they made that song, somebody please shove more of it at them! :LOL:
I like my growing "collection" of Ministry songs. :D

That song doesn't sound like the doings of a heroin addict (like Al Jourgensen)
It is rockin' :D

"In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong
A sticky sticky son of a gun
Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong
Why why never know
Why why wack a dong a dang ding dong
Then you take it on the bill
Ding dang dong don’t dong
Whoa!"

The guy who did the vocals on that song is Gibby Haynes (sp?) from The Butthole Surfers. I highly recommend their album "Independent Worm Saloon", as it's got some rocking and amusing songs on.

You're right, it sounds like the doings of a 4 year old who stealthily exchanged the lyrics he wrote with his dad's. :D

:LOL: That band name! :D It's second only to "Halt's Maul oder ich hau dir was auf die Fresse du Penner" or whatever they were called. :D Thanks for the tip, I shall try not to forget to check them out. :)

Mainly Jesus and my Hotrod

Yeah, fuck it.

Houses of the Molé is growing on me now. I'm really loving Worm, though it's the most mellow song I've ever heard them do.

Nice to see old Al hasn't lost any of his bile. :D

This week I've been mostly listening to Ministry.

The new album is a full on attack towards George Dubya. Which is cool. I have so much respect towards Al <3

I think they did.

A mate saw them in London on the earlier in the month (I really should have gone myself), and was very upset that they didn't do Jesus Built My Hotrod.

Wowee Zowee

If years of going to goth/industrial/metal clubs has taught me one thing, it's that no one can dance to Burning Inside without looking like a complete tit.

And the dude from Prong on Guitar.
It was quite the roadshow.

Thessi

17-08-2006, 05:34 AM

And Raven from Killing Joke on keyboards :D

Burning Inside, now that's a song I'd love to dance to at a club. I'd look like a tit but wouldn't care :cool:

I'm starting to like a variety of their songs. I've had Effigy on my computer for ages, and recently dl'ed Every Day Is Halloween &Jesus Built My Hotrod... both great songs. The evolution of the band is quite interesting. Anyone like the early stuff? I think it's ace... fits right in w/ Bauhaus & Fad Gadget.

Thessi

12-03-2008, 06:30 AM

Ministry is coming to Finland on their C U LaTour, which is their farewell tour :'( I've yet to see them live and I'm SO going. Happy :happy:

Their last album was fantastic, they still sound so hard :cool: If Roadhouse Blues has ever been covered so well, I haven't heard it.

Thessi

09-04-2008, 06:08 AM

I guess I'm alone with my Ministry-loving *sigh*

Lay Lady Lay always works for me <3

If any of you have a chance to catch them live on festivals this summer, I recommend highly. I personally can't wait to see them :D

I miss Mik. :(

But yes, Ministry. I've never seen them live, so perhaps I should make the effort before they sod off for good. :unsure:

Now, everyone take the Burning Inside test like Gemsy just did. :LOL:
:LOL: I really wish I had a proper camera. Dance-off!
+1 at seeing them before they sod off. :(

Never checked them out, really, and I have no idea why.

I mean Thessi likes 'em, and Gemsy, and Nik, and Vel... what's wrong with me? :p

Do it, and take the Burning Inside test. :p

The album I'd recommend to start with is 'Psalm 69', probably followed by 'Land of Rape and Honey' or 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste'.

I'm still missing a few albums. :erm:

progmetalfan

12-04-2008, 01:37 PM

I will do my best to listen to some, ASAP.

I figure at the very least I can pretend to like them just to make all of you somewhat happy, too (especially Thessi... she'd beat me up otherwise). :D

:LOL:

Seriously, prog*--check them out--it's a requirement, mind! I suspect you've heard them and didn't know who they were--even what passes for alternative radio here occasionally gives 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' a spin (spin? makes it sound like it's still a RECORD, haha)

Do it, and take the Burning Inside test. :p

The album I'd recommend to start with is 'Psalm 69', probably followed by 'Land of Rape and Honey' or 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste'.

Haha--I'll have to try this...oooh where the hell IS that record? :D

Excellent choices--you can't go wrong with (all) of them!

*What IS your name anyway? Can I call you Axel? No special reason--just like the name! :LOL:

You'd better pretend well, or genuinely like them. I can smell fake Ministry-love :cool:

I'm sure you'll love 'Filth Pig' too. Songs like 'The Fall' and 'Lay Lady Lay' would be to your liking :yesey: Otherwise, listen to Vel's recommendations.

Thessi

13-04-2008, 01:08 PM

Oh and the 'Burning Inside' -test... you'd have to be mega drunk to think that you're looking anywhere near cool :LOL: The shame!

Never listened to "Land of..."but definitely agree about the others especially Psalm 69. The songs I love the most on "Mind"are "Thieves"and Breath"

I'll never forget what a disappointment "Filthpig"was considering how long it took them to release it. Just to show you how little I've followed of them since then I wasn't even sure they were still going.

Perhaps I should keep in touch!

Ohh yes, saw them all. Was great :\mm/:

I was hoping for a longer set from Ministry but we didn't even get encores. Anyhow, I'm happy - we got No W, Just One Fix and N.W.O. plus other classics!

Yeah :D I've seen live footage by them before but it didn't prepare me for the pure, raw energeticness of their performance. Quite possibly the best live band ever <3
