[@twiggyeison]

Personally this is the by far the best song Ministry ever wrote. The lyrics, the delivery, drums ,guitar synth...it all just works perfectly.

[@AzakiahIsYourOnlyGod]

This performance is a miracle

[@vizsta]

Uncle A. was a mess back then but as one of the biggest fans out there. Thank you for this masterpiece of a tune from a dark album. Here we are in 2023…..

[@lisazoria2709]

Filth Pig is such an under rated Ministry album. Classic.

[@TurboLemon]

Easily my favorite Ministry album. Not sure why a lot of people hate it.

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

I got it from BMG or Colombia House back in the early 90s when they were doing that 12 CDs for a penny deal just wasn't really into it.. Except Lava? I think it was a song called Lava that was a good song. But this is a badass song too and glad I was recommended to watch it.. 🤘🏻😠🤘🏻

[@greggpatterson2556]

Don't know who's rating that, but fucking phenomenal in my mind

[@wdupskozamieszczenie]

Incredible album

[@wdupskozamieszczenie]

@@TurboLemon @Fly Paper cos many people grew up on electronic industrial ministry in late 80s. This is the slowest and imo the heaviiest ministry album. Al was inspired by the 90s sludgy/alternative rock/grunge at the time, call it whatever, but Uncle Alien was always on the ball.. Eveything is useless Nothing works at all Nothing ever maters Welcome to the fall!!!

[@OneWingedVic]

This song accompanied me when I'm in hospital to ease the extreme pain of hemorrhoids stage 4 surgery. Not just because of the pain is unbearable, but being alone at hospital without anyone looking after me. If not because of this song (playing at loop for hours) I might giving up.

[@generalyan7084]

There is no better contemporary piece of music that so eloquently illustrates how death, collapse, and decay are an inextricable part of the essential catharsis that eventually leads to rebirth and renewal. "Nothing is lost, nothing is created...everything is transformed." -A. Lavoisier

[@labshot]

There's a spiritual element to this song....

[@tcb9775]

Bottomless pit

[@frankyfrankson3850]

I feel that too

[@HBNF721]

The Garden of Eden and the "Fall of Mankind" and what was waiting in the aftermath - "Welcome to the Fall" - A potential spiritual connection IMO - Keep in mind Al was doing a lot of heroin during the writing and recording of the album

[@ronanjenkins2323]

Ministry is ridiculously under appreciated for everything that they did. Industrial and EBM always remain some of my favourite genres.

[@arielgerardo]

It´s under appreciated because spits the true in our faces, the masses can´t tolerate the facts, that´s why.

[@IanNason-qn9yw]

How about the NDH?

[@lucy327rss]

I appreciate them, and I'm a 60 something middle class white guy apparently living the American dream because although ill continue they remind me "everything" in the end Is in fact useles and to think any another way is pure arrogance. Keeps me humble and in touch with my infinitesimal tiny part in world history. But this does not mean our life is completely meaningless

[@radiokevin]

in High School, like 1986, my friend said "Al Jourgensen is the modern day Mozart." I totally agree in 2019.

[@breal1183]

Probably the greatest, tightest Industrial/Metal band that's ever graced the stage.

Ministry was the best. Too bad they couldnt stay together. Ministry now sounds like an average metal band and it's sad.

[@llremmynightfall9246]

90s Ministry is next level.

[@paulantuna3220]

To me, he (Al Jourgenson) is the Bishop, and on behalf of the Queen (society’s rulers), he’s inviting us to watch the fall of civilization. All of us were taken (for a ride) and all that was is gone, meaning nothing will ever be the same, or, as it was. This song, is melodically, lyrically, and texturally a masterpiece, on par with any modern music ever written.

[@rockrenegade]

Very cool interpretation.

[@nicknack3648]

Take this invitation Bishop's Queen to Pawn All of us were taken All that was, is gone Of this information Shames us, one and all Where's my compensation Watching others fall Welcome to the fall Everything is useless Nothing works at all Nothing ever matters Welcome to the fall

[@wadereed11]

I would easily consider this ministry's most beautiful song.

[@onyachamp]

Seen them in 94 and still rate them as the best live show I have been to. Followed by Australia's Mark of Cain, and The Cruel Sea. Robert Plant at 70yrs+ was sublime as well as being my eldest daughters first live concert a couple of years ago.

[@MrDschiesus]

well, i fear things have changed in the meantime. saw him 3-4 years ago and boy oh boy... lets put it like this: hes paying for his lifestyl now. with interest!

[@zeppelinfan82]

One of the BADDEST MINISTRY songs ever! I love this shit. I love seeing Al w Timothy Leary at the end. Rumor has it that during this tour Leary gave AL a whole vial of LSD 25 that the band tripped on during off days

[@jestermindcrime1773]

yeah he gave him 2 vials pure LSD, he used to put cpl drops in his Whisky btl before each show he forgot once and handed thye bottle to Maynard and another dude from Tool;. I ve taken shrooms and micro's during booze blackouts and that was scary enough,can't even imagine coming to tripping out on that shit and having no idea

[@almostgone33]

greatest band ever......

[@whipchick90]

I've been hooked since I first saw them in Mpls, MN in 1982!! Looking forward to seeing them three weeks from today for the fifth time!!! Uncle AL ROCKS!!!

My best friend and brother Douglas Scott McLeod aka Dj Scooter/007/oz and perhaps the second coolest guy we ever knew Theban Tonessen.

This band Ministry, has totally - always been under rated and unrecognized. They are so way talented and entertaining - I just hope that Uncle Al realizes that - if he even really gives a shit. Thank you Uncle Al, for all of the bad ass, kick ass music over the years - because life fuckin sucks.

[@t49n2w]

Indeed.

[@EusaMoss]

Look that is total nonsense. If you remember the popularity of the Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and the explosion of Psalm 69, you would know that they were celebrated and cited as a huge influence on the music scene at the time. Psalm 69 was a platinum album for crying out loud. I read a lot of music press at that time and they were everywhere. Unfortunately Heroin had long had its hooks in the band and they succumbed to that devastation and were subsequently eclipsed by other bands. Those albums are still widely regarded and rated as classics.

@His & Hers I never at any point said anything about them being ostracised because of their heroin use. They weren't ostracised for their heroin use, if anything they were celebrated for it . Addiction tends to have a debilitating effect on creativity. That's my point.
