Really liked it... Until he got all heroin chic, thinking he's some native American god. Loves heroin thinks he can change the world... What a little bitch.
I hope he reads your comment. I got all of his albums and there are many "Ministries" in the timeline but I definitely love all of them to the bone. I would say that Al was and will always be ahead of his time.
why rating? it's different that's all- I've heard 'Everyday is Halloween' live acoustic- then I discovered from which time it is- amazing song- but I don't listen this kind of music- don't get me wrong - Bowie, Michael Jackson....., I listen some- not all that stuff - it's not prejudice, even know that was the time when punks and metalheads were in war ( not even close like rap game-rs) and nobody knows bands like Killing Joke... and I always remind me what Lemmy was saying in the end of every koncert- "WE are MOTORHEAD, and WE play ROCK'n' ROLL !!!! ".........
I m obsessed with her singing this live. It just blows away any other version. She's giving a pure professional goddess level performance full of heart and attitude, such a rare gem, thank you Yvonne Gage!
@@dystopian2153 Happens to the best of us. It's difficult to remain that creative, for as long as he has. Most people never come close to that kind of greatness.
I think this album was the best thing he ever did. And that’s not speaking from a biased synth-music fan. I mean the melody, the lyrical content, the organization. It was great
I think that the land of rape and honey is their best album but I give it a lot of points for creativity. Certainly ministry's first album is crafted very well.
Well, it definitely wasn't me. Al fired me and I was replaced... Just because I wanted to fly out after a gig with Patrick Moraz and Bill Buford at the Park West... This is the fabulous Yvonne Gage.
I was at this show!!! To the right of the stage was a dance floor and I danced through the whole set. Someone came up and danced with me there and she introduced me to a whole group of friends up in Nashua. People I remember quite fondly.
Yes, she does sound great. It's a shame Al hates this album. I come back to this song many times 'cause her performance is outstanding, not to mention it's a really good funky tune of early Ministry! This is not Shay Jones, like others have commented. Shay Jones was the co-writter with Jourgensen and backup vocalist on this album - With Sympathy. She toured with them in '83, but subsequently, left the group during its tour of the release of this album. Yvonne Gage joined the tour to fill in as the vocalist for Shay Jones in late '83 into '84. Yvonne Gage around this time and a few years prior, had already put out some singles, a couple of EPs and had 1 album out in 1984. Here is some of her work from around this time period. Enjoy! ✌️😎 ua-cam.com/video/yd4f0pis8Dk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/6hvNoQEaTos/v-deo.html
Matt XCX absolutely, I’ve got hardcore shows from the early ‘00s that look far worse than this. I suspect this was recorded on Betacam w/ that big clunky VCR-sized backpack thing.
IF he would realize the fact that ppl like this stuff, he could due a full tour of With Sympathy as a full album tour and sell out small clubs at a city or 2 in every state. Any of his early stuff as a "tour" would sell out instantly. The newer stuff.....nobody cares about it. Its burnt out completely. Also you would not stop rabid fans from a "twitch" album tour or a "LORH" album tour. I would be the first in line. That era was the absolute best work by Ministry although i am a fan of all their stuff. Its too bad he is "embarassed" by this early work. It is fantastic.
@@noideac sad but true. He COULD, however, give his blessing/endorsement for a synth pop-era Ministry cover band. Maybe join them onstage for a song or two, albeit in an instrumental capacity.
I like most Ministry stuff, including this album. This is a really good song, even if it's completely different than his later work. The female vocalist is great. I hope she went on to have a great career.

I read an interview about 10 years ago with Jourgensen that the record label Arista forced him to record this genre of play, or they wouldn't sign him. That he had absolutely nothing to do with this album other than his voice and face. No lyrical writing, musical composition, was forced to cut his hair and had clothing bought for him. That he is the way he is in present day solely due to his rebellion of that album. Supposedly, he was having a hard time finding sponsorship to a label and went along with it to earn some money from Arista, then left and joined Sire Records to record - Twitch, soon thereafter, who allowed him to record his particular brand of music. Although I'm sure there is some truth to his admission, I truly doubt that he had absolutely no involvement whatsoever with the substance of this album. I also speculate he is just embarrassed of this version of himself as well, because he wants his fans to believe he's a true hardcore, industrial bad-ass and it may hinder his image and industrialized style of Ministry, which does not seem to be the case at all with many of his fans who also admire this album. It was the 80s, New wave, Dark wave, Synthwave/pop was in, and this album is great! Here is some of Yvonne Gage's work from around this time period of 1984.

Hello, Al fired me. I had a big at the Park West with Patrick Moraz the evening of day they left. I wanted to fly out the following day in time for the gig. But you probably know Al. He hated the song. He hated that the song got ANY attention because I wrote it. And because I'm a woman of God!😇
@@shayjones5099 Greetings to you, Miss Jones! Terribly sorry for the late reply. Yes, I was aware you had additional work during this era, though I had no clue Al fired you due to your other obligations.

Thank you very much for the clarifying info. Hope you have a lovely Christmas, and have a safe New Year, Shay! *(P.S. I love your work on this album!)*
Max Henkel On the Q & A Panel, it was so cool that Richard 23 of Front 242 Fame, defended AL at the “WaxTrAx Industrial Accident” Film Expo recently...he went up to bat for Uncle Al when Paul Barker & Chris Connelly took turns taking cheap shots at him.....I’m sure they have their reasons but let’s face it, despite what a douchebag AL was & certainly still is, he was the master of ceremonies for those guys and mostly responsible for a huge bulk of the musical output via producing, consorting & composing...Al was like the Quincy Jones of the Alternative industrial Goth darkwave scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like the wind you blew away your happy lover's touch You bring the blues into my heart just like a rush I cannot bear the way my heart has helped to keep you close Of you, my babe, I cannot get enough You touch me, baby
Yvonne goge sounds really talented. I know most of the ministry synth pop stuff but this is a nice performance showing quality video and music. You can listen the funk and grooves on this track.
@@TheSpecsShow In a way, what KMFDM put out in the 90s kinda seems like the logical progression that the band would have gone if they kept a female vocalist. Especially Naive; gospel vocals, crunchy house beats, chugging guitars and distorted vocals.
Yvonne was so good. I saw them in Providence the next night. The video doesnt do the show or her justice. Went to see Ministry, walked out amazed by Yvonne. Front 242 opened.
I live in Providence, if you want that same amazement, UA-cam Duran Duran unplugged "come undone", there's a female vocalist, Lamya, she will blow you away (she passed away soon after this taping)👍🔥💣🎶🎵
Ministry was in their own lane. So beautiful and even if the main singer hated some of it I believe it was all well worth it. Such a unique sound from back then until today
I wasn't there but I remained a fan through "With Sympathy" "Twitch" "Land of Rape and Honey" and "The Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste". Psalm 69 onwarda...meh.
@@antonyace2207 that's where I lost interest as well. Psalm 69 was probably their peak and things declined (overproduced and muted) from Filth Pig onwards.
I can't get enough of this band, from the early stuff to the later metal/industrial, I love it all. Especially seeing/hearing previously unseen/unheard gems like this. Keep posting more from this show and I'll keep checking it out.
Alain Jourgenson is sort of like Anakin Skywalker. He turned to the darkside and needs Luke to turn him back to light side to acknowledge his previous genius.
Hell yes!!! So happy that there's a video of this, especially in great quality. One of the best Ministry songs. So fucking GOOD and catchy. I cherish the hell out of this era of Ministry. So beautiful.
Saw this show,who knew,the channel,used to be my father's warehouse for a tile company,I would tell him that this cold be a great rock club,didnt listen
I was at this show - my friend was a DJ for WERS and she got to interview them. They were amazing. They were my favorite band that summer along with Book Of Love, I had the cassette spinning in my walkman endlessly and danced to it endlessly at the Spit and The 1270 in my spiked hair and paisley shirts. The show was stellar - except for this woman, Yvonne Gage, although good, she was a tad disappointing..I wanted Shay to be there singing her signature vocals. Thank you for capturing this, it's amazing quality for video from the 80s. Classic Album from the 80's whether Ministry accepts it or not...Bravo!
First time I saw them was at the Aragon opening for Madness.... blew me away..... don't care if he wants to admit it or not.... all the early Ep's and" With Sympathy" were amazing... remember the first time my 15 year old self saw him in Wax Trax.... ahhh crushed on him big time....
It’s obvious many of you need to be updated. Al did say negative things after this record came out, many close to him and involved in the making of this album disputing his claims of having harder songs that were left off and eventually included on LORAH. But even Ian Mackaye stated Al didn’t get into hardcore until after this album. He was just trying to make the next step into harder music and thought at the time that disowning this record would give him more credibility in that genre. However Al has since made peace with the album and admits it was and is a very important part of his discography and career and has even stated he will be doing a remake of it. If you haven’t yet, check out the reworking of “Every Day is Halloween” he did with Dave Navarro and others.
Me recuerda la majestuosa actuación de Lisa Fischer en gimme shelter en el concierto en vivo en Amsterdam en el 95 Dos pedazos de cantantes y esta canción es una joya de joyas Viva Palestina
I bought "With Sympathy" and loved it. Joined the Army and waa waa stationed overseas for 2 years. Came back, heard "Stigmata" thought "Is this the same guys? It is? Cool! Fuck yeah!" I STILL love Eurosynth Al
Al has had a change of heart on the earlier stuff, saying it's pretty good and Ministry would not have made the later music without this era. I found a pre-owned With Sympathy in 2004, I did not know of this time of the band. I was shocked how different yet awesome. Now a fan of all his bands, including Special Affect.
I think ministry is at its best stuff when frankensteining hybrid between nu wave, metal , electro, its just interesting. High hopes for the last album with barker back on board as his recent lead into gold was more interesting to me than the thrash of recent years
Great!!! And best live judging from this. I'm more familiar with his later work, but he should never regret this - it is outstanding. I could be happily lost forever in that beat.
Al was a genius. It is disappointing that he feels embarrassment about this rather than pride. The first album was amazing.
yea, it is ok to change your style musically and look, but still be proud of all the eras.
Really liked it... Until he got all heroin chic, thinking he's some native American god.

Yvonne didn't record it. Check it out. It was recorded by me. I also wrote it.
Is she still in the band 2024?
Yvonne's vocals are the true gem of this track. Without her, it just doesn't hit the same way.
I agree she has quite a good vocal presence
Some funky ass 80s electro right here! They were tight!
Still sounds awesome 40 years later!
I Love this album! The fact that Al Jourgensen is embarassed by it makes me love it that much more
#MakeMinistrySynthAgain
Whoever owns this content has a real gem in his/her hands. Amazing footage of an era that Ministry's founder would want buried instead. Amazing!!!
right!!?!?!!? I wonder if he has seen this????
Al would give his house for this footage!
This is so good. Everyone got along back then. I miss my youth.
I was there.
I don’t give a flying F what Al thinks. This album was amazing. Better than anything Ministry did since.
Al is clearly having a lot of fun playing this music. Best era of Ministry right here.
Don’t tell him that. Great tune for sure! Dude has a beautiful voice.
The clarity is incredible. Looks better than a lot of shit you see from the nineties!
Matt XCX absolutely, I’ve got hardcore shows from the early ‘00s that look far worse than this. I suspect this was recorded on Betacam w/ that big clunky VCR-sized backpack thing.

However Al has since made peace with the album and admits it was and is a very important part of his discography and career and has even stated he will be doing a remake of it. If you haven’t yet, check out the reworking of “Every Day is Halloween” he did with Dave Navarro and others.
I'll check that out definitely!
They were the Ultimate band // back up girls vocals stole that song
Me recuerda la majestuosa actuación de Lisa Fischer en gimme shelter en el concierto en vivo en Amsterdam en el 95
Dos pedazos de cantantes y esta canción es una joya de joyas
Viva Palestina
Sounds pretty cool, Al...!😁
Gawd this is fantastic!!
Now that is a performance
No puedo creerlo... es la mejor cancion que escuche en mi vida!!!!
incredible
One of the best 80's track ever \m/
I like "Work for Love" best, but this stuff is damned good
This is Ministry's "The Clue" phase and I wish Al would embrace it again
This was so amazing! I didn't know Al can sing. He had an amazing voice.
Thanks!
That was amazing
I bought "With Sympathy" and loved it. Joined the Army and waa waa stationed overseas for 2 years. Came back, heard "Stigmata" thought "Is this the same guys? It is? Cool! Fuck yeah!"
I STILL love Eurosynth Al
Wow! I had no idea they played this song during the 84 tour. Thank you so much for posting this, can't wait to see the rest!!
this is awesome
Al has had a change of heart on the earlier stuff, saying it's pretty good and Ministry would not have made the later music without this era. I found a pre-owned With Sympathy in 2004, I did not know of this time of the band. I was shocked how different yet awesome. Now a fan of all his bands, including Special Affect.
Because this period is nostalgical for Al.
I liked this album and was probably there.Seen them thru everything
awesome!
i love them then and i love them now!
This is amazing. Thank you so much.
piece of Art. Beautiful
love it, cant get enough of them..funky shit by Ministry, what else can you ask for
oh wow!!
I think ministry is at its best stuff when frankensteining hybrid between nu wave, metal , electro, its just interesting. High hopes for the last album with barker back on board as his recent lead into gold was more interesting to me than the thrash of recent years
Awesome song and video. 🖤
this song is one of my favs
So much appreciation to the uploader for sharing a little slice of history right here. :)
Great!!! And best live judging from this. I'm more familiar with his later work, but he should never regret this - it is outstanding. I could be happily lost forever in that beat.
Can't get enough of this amazing song.....love every minute of it
i love early ministry !!
