Ministry just one fix, filth pig or NwO

[@flyingardilla143]

N.W.O. has some cryptic lyrics for Vin to chew on.

Ministry was NOT all over MTV back then. They might've been on some of the late night shows like Headbanger's Ball or 120 Minutes...but they were not played on day time MTV. I would know...I watched MTV all the time back when they played videos in the 80s and 90s.

[@bschuler6216]

Skinny Puppy took Ministry and a very young Trent Reznor under their wing and heavily influenced them, steering them into the industrial sound. Ministry sounded like Depeche Mode before hooking up with the two Kevins (cEvin Key & Nivek Ogre). You can hear the transition from With Sympathy & Twitch to The Land Of Rape and Honey. Al Jourgensen, during that same period, was a big part of the Skinng Puppy album, Rabies. This song, Thieves, uses multiple samples from Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

[@stonyb4046]

They were precursors to Nine Inch Nails. And if you guys ever get into the heavier NIN stuff you'll see the influences. So far you've really only done poppy tinted Reznor songs. Need to dig into songs like Wish, Mr. Self Destruct, Heresy and March of Pigs to see the other side of Nine Inch Nails.

[@JamesGreen-bf4jy]

There's this one live version of March that I love. All Trent says is "You fucking pigs" then whammo song hits

Ministry and Nine Inch Nails built the category up on the work done by bands like Kraftwerk. Ministry was more political as well. If you dive into their catalog, be prepared for a LOT of blasts against Reaganism and fundamentalism. Almost anything from the Psalm 69 album is a great place to start.

[@bmfan]

Ministry are incredibly political, with much of their works being anti-Reagan, anti-Bush, and then anti-G.W. Bush . They got progressively heavier and more metallic also as the years went on. This song is from 1989 for reference. Newer stuff is of course anti-Trump though admittedly their newer stuff isn't as good as the older in quality.

[@craven1927]

You could summarize all of that by just saying "anti-republican"
