What old folks homes are you hanging out in?! The ones I go visit know how to fucking ROCK, headbang, be more than a public nuisance, AND shit ALWAYS goes down-hill and dumps on the sheeple!
I did the same with my daughter, then she introduced to new stuff like death grips and machine girl, she's 23 now, working on her own tunes, like i've also been doing for over 30years... good times, cheers!
My very abusive boyfriend introduced me to this album back in 1993, not realizing this song would eventually help me build up the escape velocity to get away from him. Despite the anger of the music, it's actually a very warm sentimental song for its meaning to me. Last year I had to move thanks to a belligerent stalking neighbor, but all the depression and anxiety of the Covid lockdown had a paralyzing effect that prevented me from packing. Then I remembered this album and it got me ready in time for moving day! Thank you, Al Jourgensen, for prying me loose from two abusers in my life. We should donate copies of this song to every domestic violence center in the english-speaking world.
I'm 62 and discovered them just six months ago! I got the entire library with no hesitation, and can't find a tune I don't like. I can't start a session without them!
A long time ago, I spent almost $1,100 on putting in a car stereo just so I could roll down the street playing Ministry, NIN, Thrill Kill Cult, and others. This was...in the early to mid 90's. Can you believe I can still hear okay? I wake up in the morning and am amazed I heard the alarm clock.
omg- can I date you? that's so cool! I saw all 3! Trent R poured champagne on my head, I broke my nose at Ministry's mosh pit, and almost got robbed in Trenton NJ to see TKC!!
Senser is way more the hip-hop end of things compared to Ministry . not that it's a bad thing , hell I spent my teens with Ministry and Popwilleatitself and KMFDM . Ministry just kept getting heavier every album .
Love it. Makes me wanna shave my head and set fire to a Starbucks. The first rule of listening to Ministry is you don't tell people what you wanna do while listening to Ministry.
Al Jourgensen did later lament using sampled guitar for this song versus actual guitar. But it still rocks. I used to play this song and Welcome to Paradise (Front242) really loud with the windows down just to piss off the local yocals.
This song is a home I recognize . Miss this kind of music from my college days.... Anyone, out there bring this back please. When Industrial and goth meet and it was the release of pain without taking anyone else down. It's your story get through it.
Craziest concert I ever attended. Lollapalooza ‘92 in Miami. Over 100,000 people in the venue and a giant mosh pit about 50 yards across churning like a stationary hurricane in the middle of it. Hot as hell. When we left the concert the radio was telling us we were under an evacuation notice because Hurricane Andrew was heading our way. After an entire day in the broiling sun we decided that we needed sleep and we would worry about the hurricane in the morning. Good times.
I saw them in Mass. in 1992 when the crowd burned down the fence and I think the festival was banned from playing the venue called Great Woods for a couple of years.
I think that was in Orlando that year too... Hurricane Andrew was coming in hot. I hitched a ride from Jacksonville to Orlando, spent three days down there... tripped my balls off!
There is just something about this old school industrial (rock/metal/___), that I can’t get enough of it. Even after the years, it still sounds futuristic and cyberpunk as fuck.
I've seen Ministry live 3 times. First in Toronto in '92, then Osaka in '95 & back in Toronto 2 weeks ago. Al absolutely rocked the house every single time. Legend.
Just about the same Ministry experience for me. First in Dallas in 1992, 2nd time was Tulsa in 1996, and Tulsa again in March of this year. I think this 3rd time permanently damaged my hearing! Uncle Al can still get down for being closer to 70 than 60.
i am 15 years old and when i was in my mothers womb my mother used to blast ministry music right next to her stomach thats why i love ministry so much.
I can't help but hold Ministry in reverence for being one of the most dynamic and changing industrial bands which managed to enter the mainstream. THIS is music.
This was my introduction to industrial music as a kid. I stayed up late and was watching a bad post apocalypse movie. Opening shot is someone with a grinder on metal with this blasting. I'd never heard anything like it before and was hooked.
You might be interested in the "Industrial" music subculture of the late 80s and early 90s. Nine Inch Nails "Head like a hole" comes to mind. They experimented with electronic music and heavy metal.
Back in the old days after robbing a few liquor stores I’d blast this and Thieves & Liars while making my getaway. Times have changed. Now I sell commercial property insurance.
I still crank Ministry in the car.. been a fan since the 90s. Jesus Built My Hotrod, Just One Fix, Lay Lady Lay, Scarecrow, So What....epic fuckin' music🤘🏻. Rock hard or go home 🤘🏻💜
I’m going to be 23 this year and still have yet to find people who love this band around my age outside of a few in online communities. Such a great band and such solid music.
@@halroxdynasty8683 Thank you! Like I said we exist it’s just very hard to find people I’m big into Muse, Korn, Rob/White Zombie, Powerman5000, Filter and NIN. Anything similar in genre to them. I grew up with Coldplay, Metallica, RHCP and the genres of hair/traditional heavy metal coming from outside family, and country/soft rock from my main household. Unfortunately for them I inherited the metalhead genes to some degree.
@@levi_octavian that's awesome hell yah 😎 that's funny you bring up powerman 5000 because I just saw they're playing near me this month lmao. I saw them back in the day for $15 😆 I wanna go again!
Few bands can put out an album like Twitch and then produce a completely different sound like this. Great album, great song, and very good video. Ministry at their height!
this is still good so love it i saw them at lolapalooza in 1992 with pearl jam,sound garden, the red hot chilli peppers and the Jesus and Mary chain in Barry Ontario Canada it was one of the beat shows ever
i went to lollapalooza that year as well, only in Houston, TX in 100° heat. The pit for ministry was enormous, there were people all across the front of the stage with garden hoses, spraying us down so we wouldn't get heat stroke... definitely one of the best shows I've ever attended.
I saw them when they did a few shows at Lollapalooza 93 with Alice in Chains, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, Fish Bone, Arrested Development and others.
Saw them the same year, the day before hurricane Andrew hit Miami. There was a 9 year old in the pit with me. I sometimes wonder how he is, he was a cool kid.
For those who don’t know, the distorted sample riff you hear in the chorus is actually a bass guitar run through a heavily saturated distortion amp, and the regular 6-string guitars are used as the back up. Al Jourgensen quite literally made a song that made the bass guitarist the lead guitarist.
I've never had so much fun as trippin' on acid in a little club moshing to Ministry live back in the late 80's 90's. Actually did that a couple of times.
My cat is grooming herself in rhythm to the beat. Hmmm. Also, Andrea Brown, wherever you are, thank you for introducing me to Ministry in high school! 💕
Man,,,this song takes me so far back....I forgot just how much I love Ministry, Revolting Cocks...and Uncle Al's other projects....I need to write the lyrics down and send them to an ex boyfriend....ha ha ah ha ha ah bah ha,ah,,,,You've ran out of lies!!!!...love the hard drum beat,,,,this is a really good song to boink to....Trust me..
RevCo, Revolting Cocks Ya… how hard up u gotta be to work for some motherfuckers with a name for a group like that, know what I'm talking about? sheeit… named my fave dog RevCo…
I saw Ministry in 92 at Lollapalooza. That day I saw RHCP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Ministry and more. Ministry was the best most insane show by far. They were touring for Psalm 69 and that shit was amazing.
yixxt Why would I be looking for "ex" boyfriends? I'm looking for a new man..But all men LIE!!! So...my next man should be warned...I will do a lot of lying too...ha ha ha..;)
misery, insanity, relationship, communication, frustration, dilapidation, desperation, shadow oneself, sapping life's energy, each second more of life only a disastrous gift of torturend terror
The video shown in Hardware is actually GWAR’s video for Black And Huge. For reasons unknown even today, the director decided that GWAR’s visuals should be accompanied by Ministry audio. The effect was quite powerful, but oh boy did it create a lot of confusion for people who had never heard either band before.
Funny enough, Al and Paul Barker produced Gwar's 'Scumdogs of the Universe', which came out the same year as Hardware. I'm sure that connection has something to do with their appearance in the film.
I don't where I was in the 80's and 90's, but this kind of material just didn't get through the vet-ing system. So glad UA-cam presented Ministry to me. Now I will listen to nothing else!!
I bought this Ministry CD in college in the 80's after following the band through its more new wave phase. Little did I know what I was in for when I started playing this in the dorm! I only wish the amplifier would have gone to 11. Anyway, I was into the sound immediately and I even liked the colorful out of focus cover art. It wasn't until some months later, to my horror while sitting in bed, that I looked at the cover from a distance and noticed that it was actually some sort of rotting human skull! Nicely played Mr. Jourgensen!
I could have written this post!! Except I was a fresman in high school when this came out. "With Sympathy" and "Twitch" did not prepare us for the opening seconds of the Land of Rape and Honey album -- omgggg it blew my freaking MIND. And that's the moment that I realized, I didn't want to be normal, ever.
.....this guy, right here, right now !!....possibly one of the best ever, of all time.............................................................luv it to bits, lol, xxx
This song was a real game changer for me. I thought heavy music was just noise but this made me realize it could be catchy and fun as well. A real gateway into a whole world of music I didn't even know existed.
First time I heard this was in Richard Stanley's movie Hardware. They had Stigmata playing while Gwar were on the TV screen. 2 great bands for the price of one.
"From Beer to Eternity" was pretty awesome, too. Thank God Uncle Al is still alive. Don't believe that crap about how the band's best days are way behind them. They're still the Original.
That tormented heroin shooter, Al Jourgenson, was one trailblazer and a creative mastermind. I saw this tour in 1988 at the Avalon theater in Milwaukee. Fuckin' crazy.
I remember getting Twitch and just loving it- and I’ll never forget the day i got this record the day it came out and this song opens the album- it just blew me away
This is the one that got me into music that was left of the dial...a game changer...and when I saw them at dingy nite club playing this album live...I was forever changed...the way I approached music and listened to it ever since...
Lollapalooza II bayfront Park Miami 1992 I was there. Outdoor stage. Stand up only. Shoulder to shoulder. The energy was insane. Especially on a hit of acid.😂 good times.
Rob Zombie owes these guys million's ive seen them in 83 or 84 . What's not to love >:) awesome stuff at any age , Ill go down they'll find me dead on the floor jamming! at 101 ! stereo blarring the cat eating my ears.
I know I can see elements of what they were gravitating towards even in that polished pop album. I love I’m Not an Effigy and Revenge. The ones with the background singers I’m mot too excited about lol.
I didn't know what industrial metal was until I saw this aired on MTV out of all places. They used to play this in a secondary room at a techno club. DAMN I MISS THE 90S.
HA! No f*^ing kidding! nothing beats the grungy old club scene, starting with Medusa's and trying to worm your way upstairs! Back before they cared where you were after 2am. My babysitter dated jorgenson when they were just an angry baby band so got to see them for some of their firsts. we were an angry generation in the 70s.
Great song, Loved the movie 'Hardware' too. It always confused me as to why they made it look like GWAR was playing the song. Growing up in Richmond, I knew Dave Brockie ( may he rest in peace ) and Big Funky Mark from GWAR. Damn I miss those days, the pile on, sing along days of the Hardcore/punk scene. I feel friggin' old. Vinnie Stigma dedicating 'Anthem' to our crew. Meeting Billy Joe in a Ryder truck smoking out( before they became uber famous). Hanging out with Biohazard Billy G. Another reason I loved the old scene, the bands hung out with the fans and danced, drank, smoked. Tesco Vee, Lee Ving. Those days are gone but not forgotten.
1988 FFS. I think it's impossible to comprehend today how ahead of its time this track was on every level. Not just the tune, but the production, the visuals which presaged pretty much every element of the 90s alternative scene. And at a time when the world was mostly listening to Phil Collins, Whitney Houston and Huey Lewis, and the Pet Shop Boys were considered edgy. Wowsers
I am 81 years old, use to listen to Ministry back in the day when I was in my 50's. They weren't the "hardest" band but they were all right.
Awesome post.

@@rebeccarosen6889 why? Ministry are brilliant. R.e.m. are brilliant.
This is Ministry. This is the best fusion between electronic music and rock.

Man,,,this song takes me so far back....I forgot just how much I love Ministry, Revolting Cocks...and Uncle Al's other projects....I need to write the lyrics down and send them to an ex boyfriend....ha ha ah ha ha ah bah ha,ah,,,,You've ran out of lies!!!!...love the hard drum beat,,,,this is a really good song to boink to....Trust me..
RevCo, Revolting Cocks Ya… how hard up u gotta be to work for some motherfuckers with a name for a group like that, know what I'm talking about? sheeit… named my fave dog RevCo…
I saw Ministry in 92 at Lollapalooza. That day I saw RHCP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Ministry and more. Ministry was the best most insane show by far. They were touring for Psalm 69 and that shit was amazing.
I saw them at Lollapalooza 92 in New Orleans. Definitely agree they were the best of that line up-- I was blown away!
Are you looking for future ex boyfriends? I am just asking for a friend.
yixxt Why would I be looking for "ex" boyfriends? I'm looking for a new man..But all men LIE!!! So...my next man should be warned...I will do a lot of lying too...ha ha ha..;)
misery, insanity, relationship, communication, frustration, dilapidation, desperation, shadow oneself, sapping life's energy, each second more of life only a disastrous gift of torturend terror
The greatest guitar riff that isn't actually a guitar. A post modern " Whole Lotta Love'. Even when just making toast I have to slam dance.
Stigmata video was in the movie Hardware, witch by the way was a great movie.
+LORDGOAT1976 Check out "Death Machine" from the 1990s, like hardware but better.
ok
The video shown in Hardware is actually GWAR’s video for Black And Huge. For reasons unknown even today, the director decided that GWAR’s visuals should be accompanied by Ministry audio. The effect was quite powerful, but oh boy did it create a lot of confusion for people who had never heard either band before.
yes...
Funny enough, Al and Paul Barker produced Gwar's 'Scumdogs of the Universe', which came out the same year as Hardware. I'm sure that connection has something to do with their appearance in the film.
Damn this song brings back insane memories!! HELL YES!!!
I don't where I was in the 80's and 90's, but this kind of material just didn't get through the vet-ing system. So glad UA-cam presented Ministry to me. Now I will listen to nothing else!!
I had the cassette 🎶💀🌚🖤 88’ High School days in AZ 🌵
My senior year at Dobson at Mesa! Stinkweeds record shop on Guadalupe and Dobson is where I bought this album!
I bought this Ministry CD in college in the 80's after following the band through its more new wave phase.
Little did I know what I was in for when I started playing this in the dorm!
I only wish the amplifier would have gone to 11.
Anyway, I was into the sound immediately and I even liked the colorful out of focus cover art.
It wasn't until some months later, to my horror while sitting in bed, that I looked at the cover from a distance and noticed that it was actually some sort of rotting human skull!
Nicely played Mr. Jourgensen!
I could have written this post!! Except I was a fresman in high school when this came out. "With Sympathy" and "Twitch" did not prepare us for the opening seconds of the Land of Rape and Honey album -- omgggg it blew my freaking MIND.
And that's the moment that I realized, I didn't want to be normal, ever.
.....this guy, right here, right now !!....possibly one of the best ever, of all time.............................................................luv it to bits, lol, xxx
Hearing this song again for the first time in 20 years...crazy feeling.
This song was a real game changer for me. I thought heavy music was just noise but this made me realize it could be catchy and fun as well. A real gateway into a whole world of music I didn't even know existed.
Saw MINISTRY at The Channel in Boston, late 80's, wicked pissa!
My 14 YT old daughter doesn’t believe me when I told her I would dance to this song back in the day at Leland City Club in Detroit 🤣😈🤘🏼
Every Saturday night!!
This is not the ministry seminar on the stigmata, but I enjoined it immensely
Rare: music with a meaningful message...been doing it for decades...preach rev. AL
I got endless love for this band and their unique sound. *Alien J.* is God.
Im getting early Ministry music vibes. Maybe their new wave music isnt dead after all. I like all their genres of music.
First time I heard this was in Richard Stanley's movie Hardware. They had Stigmata playing while Gwar were on the TV screen. 2 great bands for the price of one.
Still listening to this song in the 2020 🤘🏻🤘🏻
💉🤯 2021
2024
Still relevant in 2024. The best Ministry album in my opinion.
Saw this live a few days ago in burgettstown now im completely hooked
I miss the day when using stock footage in a video was cool.
One of my all time favorite Ministry songs.
Bought this album back in the 70's, still bumping it today in the 90's!
This album was an hour in the 70s, you silly
Saw these guys last May in 2015 and they were so fucking amazing! Glad to have grew up listening to them as well as Skinny Puppy and Front 242
"From Beer to Eternity" was pretty awesome, too. Thank God Uncle Al is still alive. Don't believe that crap about how the band's best days are way behind them. They're still the Original.
Dominique Senecaut Agreed!!!
I also saw them last in May 2015.
fuck yea :)
Saw them in 91 or 92 club 101 el paso.......
I miss these times so much...
Everyone is old regardless... tripping and having a great time back in the day... LOVE this...
song changed my whole outlook on music and life. amazing still to this day
That tormented heroin shooter, Al Jourgenson, was one trailblazer and a creative mastermind. I saw this tour in 1988 at the Avalon theater in Milwaukee. Fuckin' crazy.
I remember getting Twitch and just loving it- and I’ll never forget the day i got this record the day it came out and this song opens the album- it just blew me away
This is the one that got me into music that was left of the dial...a game changer...and when I saw them at dingy nite club playing this album live...I was forever changed...the way I approached music and listened to it ever since...
"Rumble In The Bronx" (1995) brought me here! EPIC!
João Paulo Henz Hardware (1990) showed me the way
aeonplus I love that movie. I have the DVD, which was a bitch to find, as well as the soundtrack.
Lollapalooza II bayfront Park Miami
1992
I was there. Outdoor stage. Stand up only. Shoulder to shoulder. The energy was insane. Especially on a hit of acid.😂 good times.
This track changed my life.
Rob Zombie owes these guys million's ive seen them in 83 or 84 . What's not to love >:) awesome stuff at any age , Ill go down they'll find me dead on the floor jamming! at 101 ! stereo blarring the cat eating my ears.
Zombie stole his whole image from Al
they are friends
in his book he said he hates rob zombie?!
so did Johnny Depp - he likes to say he got it from Keith Richards, but we all know it was Al.
ga peach he wears a cowboy hat, has those questionable dreadlocks, wears a bandana, and creates halloween anthems. hes a simpsons version of al
I'm 110 and I just discovered this band and I love it!
2019!!! still rocking out to this with my day 1's
One of the defining music videos of my early teens. I remember I was into heavy metal and first time I saw this I was like WTF wow.
Same
This song was my introduction to Ministry back in the 80's staying up late to watch 120 minutes on MTV.
1st album doesn't actually totally suck. It's just a different genre altogether. "Revenge" is a synthpop classic.
I know I can see elements of what they were gravitating towards even in that polished pop album. I love I’m Not an Effigy and Revenge. The ones with the background singers I’m mot too excited about lol.
A song ahead of its time
Not really, everyone else is just stuck in the past... no imaginations.
I didn't know what industrial metal was until I saw this aired on MTV out of all places. They used to play this in a secondary room at a techno club.
DAMN I MISS THE 90S.
Welcome to Chicago.
@Mark Grant I hate that I lost my membership card.
AlleyCatChum - yes! I’d do anything for one more night at Dome Room. Or a walk thru the alley to the old Neo.
@Mark Grant So were a lot of us, in a pile in the corner ;)
HA! No f*^ing kidding! nothing beats the grungy old club scene, starting with Medusa's and trying to worm your way upstairs! Back before they cared where you were after 2am. My babysitter dated jorgenson when they were just an angry baby band so got to see them for some of their firsts. we were an angry generation in the 70s.
Great song, Loved the movie 'Hardware' too. It always confused me as to why they made it look like GWAR was playing the song. Growing up in Richmond, I knew Dave Brockie ( may he rest in peace ) and Big Funky Mark from GWAR. Damn I miss those days, the pile on, sing along days of the Hardcore/punk scene. I feel friggin' old. Vinnie Stigma dedicating 'Anthem' to our crew. Meeting Billy Joe in a Ryder truck smoking out( before they became uber famous). Hanging out with Biohazard Billy G. Another reason I loved the old scene, the bands hung out with the fans and danced, drank, smoked. Tesco Vee, Lee Ving. Those days are gone but not forgotten.
great name !
I finally got to see Ministry last April with Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly. Totally awesome.
It`s cool. Song from my chieldhood :)
Hardware brought me here! Badass soundtrack!
1988 FFS. I think it's impossible to comprehend today how ahead of its time this track was on every level. Not just the tune, but the production, the visuals which presaged pretty much every element of the 90s alternative scene. And at a time when the world was mostly listening to Phil Collins, Whitney Houston and Huey Lewis, and the Pet Shop Boys were considered edgy. Wowsers
Yes they started a line of copycats for sure..
Used to drive my mom crazy when I was in a Ministry kind of mood...she would always say it was too loud... ;)
yea i know that feeling
follow it up with some TKK and KMFDM
once my neighbor knocked on my door and asked if i could turn it down cause her pictures were rattling...
Milo Daimen chuck in some Atari teenage riot to :)
forgot all about them they were bad ass too.
5-28-19 Still My Favorite Song Of All Time
