IIRC I have a tape of Ministry where they play Ricky's Hand (it's not that show)Originally Posted by jmtd
Awesome, I love how him and Maynard used to go back and forth during shows.

Damn why can't we get Ministry/3TEETH here in the states? Too sweet!

Just compared the 1990 reissued CD to the 2014 reissues vinyl of "Twitch"... the vinyl sounds so much more textured and rich compared to the CD. So glad I trusted my instinct+experience (generally, electronic music from the 1980s sounds better on vinyl, even the original scarcity thin 1980s vinyl, than the 1980s CD version of the same album, probably the same for all genres but this is one I can talk about) and picked it up to give it a shot.
(partially picked up also because of Al's talking about it in the WaxTrax "Industrial Accident" documentary)

What album are you talking about?
Active Member
Well, I suppose that's fair.Twitch. Now excuse me while I edit that post.

Ooh, good to know, that one's been on my list for a while but I still haven't picked it up yet. TMIATTTT and LORAH both sound great though.Well, I suppose that's fair.

Totally agreed on those two (have originals... but tempted to picked up the MOV recent ones) . I was actually surprised that Filth Pig (2014 vinyl reissue) sounded so good on vinyl. Opens it up a bit more, lets you get into the grunge of it (or as I put it to another friend, Filth Pig is the album at the back of the bus after ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ was performed on-stage).

New All Day recording. Love Al's wardrobe!
Also, I just found out this existed:

Another indication that he's completely bananas.
Just so frustrating, he used to be amazing. Then the metal happened.

The bit in the Wax Trax! doc about that concert and recording are interesting...

FYI, my RevCo order shipped already. Guess they decided to get them all pressed up and ready to go before putting them up for sale. Also, the listing says they are limited, but doesn't say how limited like some of their other listings say.

Holy shit I don't even know what to say, this is playing here in Sioux falls?? Un fucking real....

That's fucking nuts! Not sure how good ministry will be. The rest will be insane though. Might have to go.

Wow I'm late to the party on this one!
edit: this got me thinking, does anybody have the link to the Wendy's commercial from a few years ago that was obviously inspired by Work For Love?

WORK!!! First time ever seeing that one. Almost spot on. Surprised I missed that one.

Hey i missed the Shasta commercial, and that's awesome.
But I've been wondering what they will be playing on the Slayer tour. Hopefully keeping it old school,. missing/diety and burning inside. I saw them in 2003 and they were thankfully playing the classics still (BREATHE AND STIGMATA FTW)
Active Member
Yeah I don't know. I'll be there so I'm hoping they play the classics, but I can't help but feel the post-Barker stuff would be more fitting for a Slayer crowd.

Your probably right but I'm still gonna be hopeful.

I’m happy if they just play the Rio Grande Blood material.

Down, but not out.
I've often wondered about the reception Filth Pig got from fans that were around at the time, which is why I was pleasantly surprised when I found this video upon searching Ministry on YouTube. I have often speculated that for some or even many fans at the time, that Filth Pig was an enormous disappointment after Psalm 69.
As for me, it immediately became one of my favorite Ministry albums, right up there with Dark Side of the Spoon, which I also would've liked to have been included in the reviewed. I've always thought that they were underrated and actually still wish that there were more songs from Filth Pig and Dark Side of the Spoon performed in their set-lists. Anyway, I just figured that it would be worth checking out for any Ministry/Filth Pig fans out there.
Active Member
It's one of my favorites for sure. I think it suffered mainly because it wasn't what people wanted or expected, another Psalm 69. Filth Pig might be to Ministry what Adore is to Smashing Pumpkins. Albums that weren't fully appreciated until much later.

Wow they added a show in Flint, MI on an off night during the Slayer tour. Too bad Primus won't be with them too.

the production on Filth Pig is breathtaking, such a big sound, hard powerful doomy vibe, quite experimental and weird. blew me away when i first heard it, scary music without trying too hard, Filth Pig is the opposite of Psalm 69.
i liked Dark side of the Spoon too, not as good but almost, Ministry for me died after Paul Barker left.
Saul Williams fan.
Filth Pig was a tough pill to swallow for me, all right. I was a "Psalm 69-and-before" fan, but something kept pulling me back to Filth Pig. Once it hit me... bam. It's one of my fave Ministry albums. One of their bravest, most offensive albums. A million George Bush, Sr. samples cannot simply compare with the simplicity of the scorching riffs and bass lines on that album.
Active Member
dark spoon and animositisomina were largely barker productions. Al was so out of it at this point. that being said, they are two of my faves. everyone loves to act like animositisomina didn't exist, but its so good! its like a heavy lead into gold record imo.
xScott
Ive been converting my CDs to digital and I just listened to Filth Pig and Animositisomina for the first time in awhile and I was taken aback by how raw and visceral they both sound.
(Some of the Bush Trilogy stuff is better than I remember too, like Let's Go? Damn that's a burner!)
