Ministry - Scarecrow (Live Sphinctour 1996) HQ

Another fucking awesome song from ALAIN JOURGENSEN and his MINISTRY. Recorded live in 1996. This song is from Psalm 69 (1992) album. Awesome album, awesome song & awesome show. HIGH QUALITY VIDEO FUCK YEAH xD

[@CheshireCatFun]

One of the few bands that sound better and more faithful to the song live than on recording. Absolutely amazing.

[@MarysWrath]

Nothing wrong with that audience. They are mesmerized which makes the best audience ever. They are just listening. This is how you know MINISTRY rocks and my all time favorite heavy metal band ever. I have never been to a concert like this one.

[@crapdice]

Even though this was around the peak of his drug and alcohol addiction, this is my favorite time period for ministry. Love this album.

Dark Side of the Spoon was his peek

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

this and Filth Pig are my favorite songs of theirs

[@FrostedSeagull]

The song that got me into Ministry. I absolutely love Scarecrow! 😎

[@user-ii3lg9xb9c]

А как же N.W.O. ? ;-)

[@lisazoria2709]

There's such an ominous beauty to this song. The thundering rhythm of the guitar, those raspy vocals. It's pretty hypnotic. Wish I could have seen them in their heyday.

This reminds me of Lollapalooza 1992 - I was up in the grass at the top of Irvine Meadows, Ministry was cranking HUGE - louder than anything I'd previously heard and I've seen Priest for God's sake. there were two bonfires going comprised of beer cups, paper towels, anything that'd burn. Mosh pits circled 8'd the fires, and everyone understood the fires had to stay lit, so those contributing breezed through the pits untouched - it was an amazing experience of group cooperation with no leadership

Wish i were there!!! I m happy for you, who were there!!!

[@OrangeKlawHammer]

one of my gods, along with Gibby Haynes and Nivek Ogre...Martin Atkins.

[@steveol8612]

I think I want this as my theme song.

[@honeyberkana673]

"Staring in the face of condemnation Laughter fills the skies instead of rain"... etc.etc... so many gems within that fit me like a glove. This song is (as a whole, lyrically and musically) ,an anthem for anyone who has ever felt....weird...out of place.. ugly...just...mocked...by everyone and everything. Just such a sad song...realized with a quiet dignity. Lol...anyway,I agree.

[@Cochroach-nz6iz]

Me too

[@user-ii3lg9xb9c]

Помню, когда я впервые послушал эту песню сидя у друга в машине (на полную громкость =100W), мне показалось что я могу голыми руками выдернуть из земли светофор и завязать его вокруг фонарного столба. Эта музыка великолепна!!!!!!!!!!

[@beenabarna1403]

Thankyou

[@nomis7791]

1995, melbourne, i was 18 and i’ve never seen anything like this since!... i’ve been through 23 years of brain addling drugs since that night and i still remember this song like a concrete slab in the back of my mind.. so fucking powerful at the time, it will always stay with me 🖤

[@michaelsteding2939]

Amen brother. This song is so brutally beautiful.

[@mccoy1369]

On of the greatest sounding riffs to date. It brings me back to the 1984 movie "The Return of the Living Dead" Jourgensen is just fucking amazing.....

[@HybOj]

love this since I was 10 years old in 93

[@TheMajorSlacks]

Good quality but the aspect ratio is off. At any rate... freakin' awesome. My all-time favorite Ministry song... THEY LIVE WITHOUT HOPE..

[@beelzabubba]

These Sphinctour posts are the best... you can actually see the band...

[@turrel01]

[@calzone3184]

So heavy and Beautiful!!! I think Ministry is one of the most creative and interesting bands who is out there!!! I hope Al won`t quit putting music together!!!

[@MonstersMaster]

Actually this video is a patchwork of various concerts over the years, not taken only in 1996. HAIL AL :)

[@jrident]

Whoa!

[@davidfraserscott4765]

You, you boys...........revival then........dig you all up, and set you to stage..............to preform your magic..............can't get enough of this shit !!....xxx

[@mccoy1369]

My favorite fucking song by Ministry, great video. I've listen to Ministry for yrs and have never got to see them live, what a fucking pitty.

[@aenimalogy]

I can't thank you enough for posting this video. Ministry = scariest band ever

[@Xoog23]

Ministry FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Tnx so much for the video!

[@marcgaglione8177]

My favorite song, along with Lava, NWO, and The Fall.

[@michelegiaimeserra1128]

Marc Gaglione just one fix?

[@outsidethebox4949]

I like the missing, deity, filth pig, Eureka pile, same old madness .

[@DaMaGeRR]

Sorry for the ratio. I have no knowledge about video editing.

[@SirRavenLynch]

Absolutely one of the best Ministry tours I have seen. Though the Cage tour with Martin Atkins playing drums was a tad bit better I must say.

[@4356745]

awesomeeee!!!!

[@kariervasti8366]

Paras Ministryn biisi, uskomaton...

[@MrDickedy]

Idk why but the riffs and singing are very reminiscent of Alice in Chains' 1995 album...although more than likely AiC were probably influenced by Ministry to some degree

[@MrDickedy]

+Bob Dobolina now that you mentioned it, I'm not sure how high I was when I wrote that comment, but you're totally correct

[@riverstix0007]

Aaaaaahhhrrrggg!!!!! Fucking awesome...
