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.
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!!
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Stronger than reason Stronger than lies The only truth I know Is the look in your eyes ... The look in your eyes Just like a car crash Just like a knife My favorite weapon Is the look in your eyes You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies There's a ton locked in your empty eyes Get out of my life I'm chewing on glass And eating my fingers I'm not the one Who's run out of lies Lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of time Cutting my face And walking on splinters I lost my soul To the look in your eyes Your eyes You ran out of lies You ran out of lies You ran out of lies You ran out of time Stigmata Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, They tell me nothing, nothing but lies, yes Yes
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Ministry is one of the best industrial/metal bands ever!! I put this song on a "break up" tape back" in the day and my life was never the same again. If there's such a thing as a song having balls well then this is it!!
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.
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 .
Saw that the Roseland theater in the late 90s. Waited forever for just one fix, then went to get some mozzarella sticks And almost missed the song. Good ol days 🤟
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.
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! 💕
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!
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
I was about 8 old? When this song came on on a Miami Vice episode my dad taped. My first introduction to something else then Beatles and Stones. Fkn loved it!
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.
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.
Wow! I forgot I used to listen to this in the early '90s. I remember in 8th grade in 1993 listening to this album religiously! It was my anthem at the time! My parents really should have been paying closer attention LOL
MY favorite weapon is the look in eyes!.......................................you ran out of life, you ran out of time............fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc.....................OH you have empty eyes... (so ahead of its time, as is all there music from the 80"s to present day) these lyrics and the artist who write them are so unappreciated in the mainstream. (fuck the main stream) try to stay retentive for 3 decades.......right on MINISTRY
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.
This song was my fucking jam back in 9th grade. Just watched the video for the first-time in forever last night on 120 Minutes. There was something just so goddamn liberating about pulverizing my young eardrums with "YOU'VE RUN OUT LIES! YOU'VE RUN OUT OF LIES! YOU'VE RUN OUT OF LIES!..." over and over and over again after barely surviving a decade of Catholic school only to discover federal school wasn't any less soul crushing. Alain Jourgensen is a fucking national treasure. Junkies saved my life. Burroughs, Lou Reed, Kurt and Courtney. It's why I'm so passionate about harm reduction. If we don't keep these fiends alive, then who will right the theme song for the next great American teenage riot?
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
I just saw an “inspirational” IG vid about an elementary school principal supporting a bullied kid who shaved his head in solidarity with his grandfather who was going through cancer and chemo - first thing going through my head was the highhat intro from the album version and my mind immediately had all the kids getting their heads shaved and slam dancing…😅
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..;)
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.
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'm 172. My Grandpa and I are still listening this awesome tune.
LOL!
😂
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.

Turning 51 in February, I am blasting Ministry, sometimes it rattles the windows of my house
If they ever ask just tell them your weapon is the look in their eyes 🖕😜🖕
Same here, 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
62, and my "neighbors" are borderline terrified of me. Mostly due to blasting this type of wondrous noise.
I don't always listen to Ministry...but when I do, so do my neighbors.
Funny shit.
My neighbors actually got me into Ministry. Win win?
LMFAO
LMAO Awesome.
Yassss!!!!
My mom recommended this to me and told me she listen to this back in highschool..... safe to say that my mom and I now enjoy the same music
thats really weird man
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!
I do with my kids too. I just introduce them to the music. If they like the bands or not (they almost always do) after that is up to them.
Lol that's awesome!

Right up there with Scraping Foetus off the Wheel - Anything!

Heck yeah that is exactly what I always thought. Stuff like Tetsuo the Iron Man and Akira.
100%!
True. That's a really early song for such kind of music.
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.
you are probable 24 now right? only 11 people gave a crap about your comment for 9 years? dont know how this works, but I love the backstory!
Awe I appreciate it haha, thank you 😁
do you still like ministry at 24-25??
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.

Same thing, robbing and selling insurance.
When I feel anger and I'm pissed off with the world, Ministry, NIN and KMFDM, are my playlist for the moment🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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 🤣😈🤘🏼

I relate to this song today better than when it came out 24 years ago. Why? Because life sucks and you're all out of lies and you're all out of time.
Nah it's bc wounds of Christ stigmata.

So beautifully put!! I agree 1000% Wish we could be friends, you sound COOL

Such an amazing attitude
The past proves future

sold soul in the 80s and lived the 90s
Still love this shit. They were so groundbreaking. I saw NIN back in 1989 for the pretty hate machine tour. Good times.

Check out Skrew
It did me to
This changed it for me too. The first time I saw and heard the live album in 91I was totally hooked.
@@rabidcentrist They all stole from Skinny Puppy they did it first!! and did it BEST!! Brace yourself its a BUMPY ride in the land of Skinny!
Сильно эмоционально.Любимая группа.Без тормозов ,поднимают самые жёсткие темы.
I use to listen to this in the sanitarium .
Remember, anger is a gift .....
This is Ministry. This is the best fusion between electronic music and rock.
senser is better.
I'd say early KMFDM and PIG both do it better, but damn is Ministry ever close. Look up KMFDM - Ultra, in the off chance you haven't heard it!
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 .
I think you don´t know Rammstein or Oomph!
KMFDM and PIG are child's play to Ministry. Nihil doesn't hold a candle to bands like Ministry or Godflesh.
Still relevant in 2024. The best Ministry album in my opinion.
Saw that the Roseland theater in the late 90s. Waited forever for just one fix, then went to get some mozzarella sticks And almost missed the song. Good ol days 🤟

And the band playing is Gwar!
It is beautiful
Hardware is great and still very relevant, rewatch it ;)

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.

This song made me a fan from 120 Minutes MTV
Best breakup song ever.
"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.
Im getting early Ministry music vibes. Maybe their new wave music isnt dead after all. I like all their genres of music.
I don't normally worship MINISTRY -- but when I do...bad things happen...
"I lost my soul to the look in your eyes."
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

Wow! I forgot I used to listen to this in the early '90s. I remember in 8th grade in 1993 listening to this album religiously! It was my anthem at the time! My parents really should have been paying closer attention LOL
Are you recharged? I ask, are you recharged?
Oh yes I say, I'm recharged!
Absolutely
MY favorite weapon is the look in eyes!.......................................you ran out of life, you ran out of time............fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc fuc.....................OH you have empty eyes... (so ahead of its time, as is all there music from the 80"s to present day) these lyrics and the artist who write them are so unappreciated in the mainstream. (fuck the main stream) try to stay retentive for 3 decades.......right on MINISTRY
Ahhhhhh. The old days.
I miss these times so much...
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.
Saw MINISTRY at The Channel in Boston, late 80's, wicked pissa!
I liked listening to this song and Young Gods "Envoye" back to back.
I never ever get sick of Ministry.I saw em many times back in the day.There was some fine moshing at Ministry concerts!
Damn this song brings back insane memories!! HELL YES!!!
This song was my fucking jam back in 9th grade. Just watched the video for the first-time in forever last night on 120 Minutes. There was something just so goddamn liberating about pulverizing my young eardrums with "YOU'VE RUN OUT LIES! YOU'VE RUN OUT OF LIES! YOU'VE RUN OUT OF LIES!..." over and over and over again after barely surviving a decade of Catholic school only to discover federal school wasn't any less soul crushing. Alain Jourgensen is a fucking national treasure. Junkies saved my life. Burroughs, Lou Reed, Kurt and Courtney. It's why I'm so passionate about harm reduction. If we don't keep these fiends alive, then who will right the theme song for the next great American teenage riot?
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
Ugh I hate that. You'll just be taking a nap on a pile of rubble and some crazy robot Terminator arm comes along and starts strangling you.
+ludd911 LMAO
+ludd911 ikr
+ludd911 I know what you mean, Mondays are the worst.
+skrapyard444 There's a a difference?
+ludd911 Happens to me all the fucking time. Can't I take a nap on rubble in peace?
Still listening to this song in the 2020 🤘🏻🤘🏻
💉🤯 2021

I just saw an “inspirational” IG vid about an elementary school principal supporting a bullied kid who shaved his head in solidarity with his grandfather who was going through cancer and chemo - first thing going through my head was the highhat intro from the album version and my mind immediately had all the kids getting their heads shaved and slam dancing…😅
This is such a fun song.
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..;)
A song ahead of its time
Not really, everyone else is just stuck in the past... no imaginations.
I finally got to see Ministry last April with Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly. Totally awesome.
Nothing like the good ol days
This is not the ministry seminar on the stigmata, but I enjoined it immensely
This track changed my life.
I DJed this song more times then I can count in 89-90s...
Played this video for my wife on our honeymoon in 87/88 (?) Seriously.
Still together...yeah we're're those kinda people... And we still dig this..
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.
One of my all time favorite Ministry songs.
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.
For you youngsters.
This track is literally hell on Wheels. ☠️
48 and never saw this. ♥ goddess bless youtube
That hand scraping against the wall is the creepiest thing I've seen in awhile.
Dude, I just realized how creepy that was. I’ve seen this video before but that scene stood out this time for some reason.
It almost looks like an alien's hand!
