In The Loop Magazine Video Exclusive: John Bechdel of Ministry on Live Sampling

[@joshualawson5607]

i could literally watch this for hours. it's literally a peak into the sounds of my youth

[@Lokeacola]

I'm laughing my ass off. This dude is calmly showing his professional work to the camera and its blasting horrific human screams. 10/10

[@thomasnihil4878]

Awesome. Bechdel is kinda underrated in the whole industrial genre but he´s been so vital to Ministry, FF, Prong and Killing Joke for many years on stage. So intersting to have him reveal his layout, methodology and equipment. Not much material around on YT. Thumbs up.

[@fliesentisch-imperator8185]

This is pure gold! Now I finally understand how this whole sampling works with a keyboarder on stage. Thanks!!

[@petradichavich]

Paul Barker is the man that set all the up for the older songs, separating each sample from all the songs, setting everything to a click track and key mapping everything. Barker was one of the firsts to do this. All music played live to a click track.

[@jensnooters6938]

I'm obsessed with this.

[@stephanvenner2939]

That was very interesting.Now I know how it's done.Thankyou for the lesson.

[@adammassacre4715]

so friggin awesome! \m/

[@JBJHJM]

Thanks John & Thanks In The Loop. It's very interesting how you solved live sampling and similarly it's interesting to hear what the samples sound like without all that drums and guitar "noise" around them :)

[@Turk_2023]

I find it funny watching him do just 1 fix and just how relaxed and nonchalant he looks considering how heavy that song is... That song makes me headbang even if it comes on the Sirius radio station I listen to and I am driving to work at 9am....That`s usually the only time I hear it honestly.

[@Enzoh20]

It’s just another day in the office for him 😂

[@krisfrosz133]

What I learned from Ministry is that timing is impeccable and whoever does the sampling in the band, I have a huge respect for you. Thank you for sharing this video. It really made my day.

[@ssskinner28]

Im pretty sure John does the sampleing

[@jmd76family]

John is a true artist self sequencing samples! Great to see how he adds so much to the live show!

[@PaulTorch]

Thx for this great vid! It is clearing a lot how it`s done on live stage.

[@ericscorpse]

absolutely awesome!

[@CarinaPrimaBallerina]

I hear Robocop (1985) samples in Thieves

[@patman0455]

I saw them live a couple of nights ago here in Houston. One of my favorite bands ever. Since 86

[@robertwells6394]

Pretty badass dude

[@Mollyyoutuber]

What keyboard

[@lisazoria2709]

I always just assumed this stuff was on a prerecorded backtrack, I have more respect for their live shows now.

[@TheValueOfN]

It'd be really interesting to find out where all of Ministry's samples come from. I recognise some but not all.

[@Corvid]

My favourite is Tony Montana's scream at the end of Scarface in So What! Everyone (including the subtitles on most DVDs) seems to think he's screaming "EHH!" or "GAY!"... Tony Montana as a character is obviously Cuban, as is Al Jourgensen, and it's kinda obvious he's screaming "¿Qué?!" which seems to fit well, being Spanning for "What?". Most of his lines are questions, epic ending too.

[@nebulaecomplex]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

My roommate thought his voice was Thomas Lennon from Reno 911 lol

[@ReneAlexisPenalozaMunoz]

Awesome!

[@javiercojoba]

What's that keyboard he's using? (brand/model?)

[@xiaoxia5]

he's got a Korg Krome in front of him. to his left is a CME UF70 Classic.

[@javiercojoba]
