Hell yeah!

I've got Just One Fix looping in my head...

 

i thought you were talking about old school ministry -- haloween days.

 

playing tonight at Treemont

 

Kick ass. I don't have any of their stuff post-Psalm 69. How is it?

 

I dont know their new stuff at all. I'm all about the old stuff like so what, stigmata, new world order, and thieves.

 

Classic stuff. Harry, I'm with you. The older techno/industrial shit was killer, though there's something to be said for lyrics like this:

soon i discovered that this rock thing was true
jerry lee lewis was the devil
jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
all of a sudden, i found myself in love with the world
so there was only one thing that i could do
was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

ding dang a dong bong bing bong
ticky ticky thought of a gun
everytime i try to do it all now baby
am i on the run
why why why why why baby
if it's so evil then?
give me my time, with all my power
give it to me all again (wow)
ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong

and hold my world around
why why why why?

everytime I stick my finger on in ya

now how 'bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
dingy a dingy dong a down

everytime you tell me baby
when i settle down
got to get me a trailer park
and hold my world around
why why why why?

alone and it's here it's this thunder
the thunder oh thunder
oh!

jesus built my car
it's a love affair
mainly jesus and my hot rod

yeah, fuck it!

 

Ministry is mood music and it's GREAT for long drives and encouraging road rage. I have Greatest Fits and listen to it regularly.

 

I was in Charlotte for this one (saw the first one in Chi-Town). As much as Pearl Jam, the Chilis, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Soundgarden & even Lush (yes Lush) RAWKed, Ministry absolutely destroyed them. They were the next to last act just as darkness finally settled in. Al Jorgensen staggered on stage and stated that he just woke up 15 minutes ago. Then he grabbed a Cow Skull Mic Stand and proceeded to absolutely lay waste to every eardrum within a mile. Two giant bonfires started on the lawn (Jorgensen - "Those Bonfires fucking RUUUUUULE!"), and people started circling them in some kind of pagan mosh fest. I jumped in one and had the absolute hell beat out of me by some topless Goth chick and her 300 lb boyfriend. Flea came on stage and played base for half the set, in a DIAPER, and I swore the apocalypse was upon us.

It was absolutely freaking awesome. The Chilis, who played next, apologized up front that there was no way they could top that, and the bonfires got the Lollapalooza tour banned from the Pavillion for years to come.

That was definitely one of the best shows I'd ever seen. I screamed so loud during "so what" that I thought my vocal chords had shredded.

die! die! die! die!
scum sucking depravity debauched!
anal fuck-fest, thrill olympics
savage scourge supply and sanctify
so what? so what?
die! die! die! die!
die! die! die! die!
you said it!
sedatives supplied become laxatives
my eyes shit out lies
i only kill to know i'm alive
so what? so what?
die! die! die! die!
die! die! die! die!
so what, it's your problem to learn to live with
destroy us, or make us saints
we don't care, it's not our fault that we were born too late
a screaming headache on the brow of the state
killing time is appropriate
to make a mess and fuck all the rest, we say, we say
so what? so what?
die! die! die! die!
die!
now i know what is right
i'll kill them all if i like
i'm a time bomb inside
no one listens to reason,
it's too late and i'm ready to fight!
so what? now i'm ready to fight!
