Ministry - No Bunny - NYC 1988

[@xProjectTactics]

I seriously can't believe this is a legit video, for 1988, I mean fuck, I was a HUGE ministry/revco/skinny puppy/lard/skrew/1k HDJ's/skatenigs/pailhead/dead kennedy's fan. This is a serious, SERIOUSLY classic fucking gem man. This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this. Lol, this is amazing. "I've got my pride" "Superiority" "Superiority complex in the first degree" "God bless... America"

[@johntoughlove479]

God I loved Skatenigs! "Stupid people shouldn't breed" is a classic!

[@maxeypad]

Holy shit....this is beyond awesome.

[@ascendingdude]

It just doesn't get better that this! fucking peaking Ministry! Look outside aahhhhgghhh...yes!

[@ingejacobsen1910]

..i love it.

[@ingejacobsen1910]

..kaninsangen er artig,Coconut-boy told me a secret also..

[@rustykuntz94]

Great quality sound here for such a old fan video.

[@iliadav]

@AustinKronix I agree, the speed anti-Bush metal albums are not coming close to those great times when Al surrounded himself with great musicians and brought so many great songs. His latest collaborators are of much lower level of creativity.

[@lisazoria2709]

Wow. Wish I could have gone to one of these early gigs.

[@markerickson7536]

I've never heard this song live in 9 concerts though none b4 1995.

[@shroudys]

so amazing!! thankyou!

[@anacrobat89]

Great song, awesome cover... Pailhead!!

[@respobabs]

i so want these drum samples

[@gunkhead70]

I totally agree. I first got into Ministry when Twitch came out, and it's still my favorite of their albums. I had a friend who saw them play at Medusa's here in Chicago back then...I always wonder how I missed that! I did see Ministry play at the 2nd Lollapalooza (when Psalm 69 was out). It was good (Al was angry that the crowd started throwing big sods of grass/mud at the stage...lol) but they played nothing prior to Land Of Rape & Honey. Shame...

[@gojump7]

This show at the Ritz was crazy!!! I was standing at the front row, nearly got crushed to death. My friend Lori lifted me up to a bouncer, who pulled me out of the chaos! Not a good concert experience for a 22 year old skinny female. LOL Good show though, from what I remember.

[@tylerperkinson1677]

Go Jump wish i coulda been there.... i was six. i was a 90's music fan until i discovered skinny puppy in 2000, 2001.... then i realized the 80's made the 90's mysic i loved possible... been a fan ever since. maybe check out skinny puppy dolce vita 1986 vids on youtube...?

[@highlow1212]

except nivek was out of his element on this tour

[@williamhollaway1960]

@@highlow1212 lol yeah was that gtr plugged in?

[@WinstonVanCoon]

@@highlow1212 I don’t think, yeah, you don’t think. Mary, Maaaary, come out, come ouNO…LIAR’S. Kevin liked the element, immersed on dark stages with smoke machines blowing everywhere. Outlook’s mostly cloudy, nice forecast to enjoy speedballs with Al and talk about the degree of smothered hope facing apes, spiders, and the human race. 2-years of Reagan, now, continuation of another fucking dynasty. Pubic louse H.W. Bush, and jokes of the idiot son, and dick sucking obstructions. Those of a turtle, the guy who likes beer, raping, initiating anus's playing devils triangle to see who’ll itch their SCOTUS under robes where hands are hidden. Blood pressure speeding too strong, seeing nothing but a flame behind glass of melted candle wax. Then the sting from a honeybee helping to relax. Bye Bye, little bee. Go make some clover or wildflower flavored enjoyment, the most pleasurable relaxation. Nothing compares to these warm clouds to dream upon, although, intermittent deep inhalations of cold desert air. Remind the mind it’s not sleeping, but enjoying the lucid edge. Wishing each dream was a little longer, though each one grows shorter. Enjoy what’s, the moment. Don’t believe, try to contrive, or engineer way’s. Definitely, never, ever, waste the intimate second, watching the trail of a shooting star. Burning a wish; that will be doomed to land into the deepest well. Only to slowly grow green hair, then, rust.

[@WinstonVanCoon]

@@williamhollaway1960 Would it matter, anyway?

[@lolliwag]

Al's voice is so good here, the original done by Ian Mckaye is barely missed (although Ian rules & I would kill to see a Pailhead reunion) Uncle Al definitely owns it w/his vox on this cover of his own side-project...wow, dat's so Avante Garde!!

[@hercropness]

ahhhh...when they still had it!

[@pailhead11]

this music is so good

[@c3Eg19]

Well GOTHDAMN! PhuKING Awesome! 🤘🏽

[@coldpressclub2249]

I have the original 7"...I wish Al was singing on it, this is soooo much better.

[@thezenboy]

My god. Just when I think I’ve hunted down everything on early ministry this shows up. Now, what else do you have, sir?

[@claychason9502]

Damn.

[@chriso99]

fuck I remember this show - i was the driver that night.

[@thegame890]

during late 80s and early 90s Ministry's setlist mostly consisted of not only the songs taken from The Land... and The Mind... but also a few Pailhead and RevCo covers. I'm not saying I disagree with you, me too want to see or hear songs from Twich to be played live. Moreover I can't find Golden Dawn, TV II or Burning Inside live versions. I'm not sure if tracks like Cannibal Song or Never Believe was played live. I keep on looking

[@joshcluff2]

Ok, judging by Al's hair was this a ministry song prior to I bookan and the forming of pailhead? Surprisingly good sound Quality. Love the seemingly random kick drum and tom rolls!

[@AustinKronix]

the saddest part is that TWITCH was one of the greatest Ministry albums. The songs on that album are amazing songs! Ministry's last tour was shit! i left before it was over... It wasn't even Ministry...This is Ministry!!! these 88 shows w/ OGRE!!! i love it! (it probably didn't help that they only played anti-Bush Bullshit speed metal songs) (and it didn't help that MESHUGGAH opened for them...the heaviest band on earth...) well the music will live on forever...

[@anacrobat89]

You're right, I just meant a cover in the sense that Ian MacKaye had done the vocals for Pailhead.

[@leapage1490]

👍

[@gunkhead70]

Great stuff! One question, if you have this complete show, did they play any of the "Twitch" material live? I'd love to see that. There's virtually nothing to be found on You Tube live from Twitch (since we all know Al would never play his earlier material again after this period). Thanks!

[@doublediamond1234]

@iliadav My copy arrived this morning :)

[@DIVISIONINCISION]

@j37h3r Why woudl they play only one Pailhead song and neglect the others? "Don't Stand in Line" is a classic.............better than "No Bunny".

[@ingejacobsen9694]

..søt sang,liker den meget godt.

[@Ytrearneindre]

Jeg også, min kjære skandinaviske venn

[@pailhead11]

Was there more pailhead at this show?

[@paulsmith3057]

Don't believe everything you read. There's no bunny, I promise.

[@alienmixxx]

@bizarro999 its done and available on the 13th planet records

[@Kissmygreekasss]

hahha i was probably at this show...

[@Zopf-international]

I doubt it disco boy.

[@j37h3r]

No, sorry. RevCo tho...I should get to posting that soon.

[@j37h3r]

@russiaparussia Yes, I suppose ought to be posted...perhaps I will get the gumption to do so now that you asked...

[@joshcluff2]

This was pailhead, no?

[@antihero27]

Its Pailhead cover

[@jasinvt]

dont forget about Ian makkay....is that the right spelling?

[@azynkron]

Agreed.. this is on a totally different level than the speed metal shit they play today.. They aren't even that good at it.

[@Ytrearneindre]

@iliadav Hate Bush, but couldn't agree more.

[@surferofromantica]

Bulldada!!!

[@Zopf-international]

In case of sonic attack..

[@UCNXonline]

Working on a "No Bunny" cover, done in this style. A billion times better than the original, IMO.
