Ministry- Same Old Madness ( Live 1982 Electro Punk Synth )

Two rare versions of this early Ministry song.

[@curly_wyn]

This Ministry is the best Ministry.

[@shannongolden]

Dude. I have a long lost friend named Wesley and this was his holy grail of music. Miss you buddy, hope you are good.

[@JhitStain]

Dude... nice

[@TheEletronicFunky]

Rest In Peace man. He’s play stuff like this or what

[@MacetazzOpina]

upvote this so that if wesley looks for this song he will find his old friend

[@shannongolden]

@@TheEletronicFunky Not sure if he actually got to play any of this in a band but he loved this early ministry stuff. He would rant and rave about it. I had pins all over my jacket but even if he wore a tshirt he would wear a Ministry pin. A fun Aquarious that never judges anyone and is cool with anything.

[@shannongolden]

@@MacetazzOpina Hey that would be Awesome, thanks! I was on your page, is that your band? Sounds great.

[@stevenschierling7027]

So good! Way beyond it's time. Seriously Al, you are a living legend. Rob Halford. Al Jourgensen. Serious Metal staples. Experimented and continue to do so 50 years later. True metal never dies

[@rivotrich7]

The synth bass alone on this is beyond awesome! 🖤

[@joshpriest7590]

rivotrich7 is the synth bass arpeggiated in the song

[@austonsmith536]

It's actually quite simple to make. Simply get your favorite synth bass vst and copy the drum sequence onto the bass track. And add a gate sequencer (like A1) and an arpeggiator (I like ableton's descending 12ths) Change the sequencer to a basic electronic/techno/etc. Pattern toggle wet/dry knob to 50-75%. Have arp playing 50-75 dry/wet, notes timed to 32, repeat 2-4... and that's pretty much it. It'll play along with the drum beat but add small deviations like the Ministry track does. Minor changes to the presets is fun, or add the bass vsts to the drum channel and they'll be more in sync.

Dang! I remember when I heard this 8 years ago! Still in love with it. Dark-wave is simply something else.

Are you also listening to derrelloz’s electro punk playlist. I’m going through it for the first time. Actually prem totally rad

[@ryderthomas24]

There are others that are high quality but i think i perfer this version over any of the others. The bad recording quality kinda adds to it

[@Tdub0911]

Hilarious how they morphed into Industrial Metal. I like em both ways. Al is a crazy bastard. Saw them at Lollapalooza in 1992 and they tore it up.

[@lolliwag]

its so fascinating how incredibly fucking talented Uncle Al was...this stuff is absolutely fuckin timeless...really fucking good!!

[@vitormalta]

lolliwag still talented and still

[@applebutter4036]

People are always debating if the new wave stuff was better than the industrial metal stuff. I'm thinking it was all insanely good. Dude had some talent and could probably make a great country album if he had to.

[@korneltomaszewski6675]

"This next one´s called SAME OLD MADNESS!" I love this version!

[@UncleGhoulieTv313]

Al needs to do a modern heavier version of this... the lyrics still fit and this beat / groove / riff combo is infectious.

[@armandosabre4111]

A melhor versão !

[@mikeylikes_synths]

Spoke directly to AJ in '89 when I was on WRIU. AJ was very jaded about the synth pop sound. He said it was at the prompting of the record company and his agent to go that way because "it would sell". Al's later heavy sound was closer to what he really wanted to do and who he is artistically. Not my sound, but he's the artist and its his art.

[@kimvanfelton3413]

Al's not being entirely truthful but that story helps bolster his metal/industrial cred. According to people who knew Al in the early 80s he was very much into new wave, darkwave, post-punk and synthpop. 'Robert Roberts, one of Ministry's early members, also addressed the discontent around With Sympathy as part of a wide-ranging interview. "I understand that Al, in retrospect, has said that he was very unhappy with With Sympathy and that Arista made him do it," he told the fan website prongs.org. "I don't think that this was entirely true. Now what is true, is that I don't think that With Sympathy really captured the band correctly, at least it really didn't sound like we did live. That I'll admit. But to say that someone twisted his arm, I don't know. He certainly seemed to be into it at the time, more so than anyone else in fact." source: ultimateclassicrock.com/ministry-with-sympathy/

[@DaMystikalOne]

There is also ministry interview from the early/mid 80s where Al says that metal is just noise he can't even listen to. It should be somewhere on prongs.

[@UncleGhoulieTv313]

My friends sister used to bang all these dudes when they came through town back then. Al was very much into this stuff at the time. From the way he dressed, to the way he rocked. At least that's how her stories came off when she got home the next day.

[@MrGrimm-tz9gs]

I honestly wish al would still make less heavy industrial albums that have a similar sound as his stuff from the early 80's.. There's no way im the only one lol .. i mean we have plenty of Heavy Ministry Albums, Right??

[@lisazoria2709]

Mr. Grimm Agreed. I love both styles and Al is great at both, but it would have been cool if he had a side project or something where he kept doing stuff similar to this. Too bad he was too busy shitting on this era and getting messed up on drugs. Lots of wasted time and potential. Though I do understand if he just wanted to move on, synthpop was past it's prime, and I guess he just didn't relate to it anymore.

[@dantemanselvo3978]

anyway we must recognize both metal and synth epoc they were terrific...

[@thirdstrike4u]

Their early work wasn't really industrial it was synth pop, New wave completely different.

[@abcdefghijklmnop1488]

Industrial sound left long ago never to return. Synth pop/punk until The Land.... album. Pretty much a basic metal sound since the 2000's.
