Ministry - Thieves | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@bobot1981]

That whole record, The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste, is a real trip!

[@JohnHill-bn5kn]

The first time I heard that album I was high on shroom tea in the early 90s lol

[@ruanniemann2604]

agreed. Soundtrack to a misspent angry youth

[@Robocline]

It may not be their most popular song but their cover of “lay lady lay” is one of my all time favorites from Ministry.

[@opart]

Agreed, Lay Lady Lay is incredible. That solo, when the key changes... just incredible.

[@randalladams7692]

That song is 30 years old can you believe that my class reunion 30 years still rocking

[@chrisp.14]

Yeah while I read your comment I became aware what an old fart i am, bwahahahaha! Holy fuck, I listened to the albums "Psalm 69", "The mind is a terrible thing to taste" and the live album "In Case You Didn't feel like showing up" sooooo many times.

[@randalladams7692]

@@chrisp.14 cool that stuff was huge yeah we are old farts oh well we still rock

[@keplarfunk282]

Ministry "so what", "just one fix" "stigmata". So much to delve into from their catalog

[@mangemahler1125]

Love that song

[@armchairgravy8224]

I wore a tie-dye shirt to a Ministry concert. After the show I discovered I had a tie-dyed body. Best mosh pit ever,

[@stephaniebedworth2470]

I'm a person who's usually not into live albums that much, but their In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up album was wonderful.

[@stephengheen1525]

They also have another band called The Revolting Cocks

[@RussellLambeth]

"Beers, Steers and Queers". Not a name that goes too well today but a great song regardless.

[@dwaynejohnson8858]

Ministry is masterpiece i saw them live it was mind blowing great Band

[@Guy_Fawkes_News]

Such a banger. There’s swagger and then there’s uncle Al’s swagger. Untouchable.

[@ditsiwt]

Ministry is in my top 10 live bands.

[@ameliacharles2284]

Mine too. One of the loudest too. For the Animositisomina Tour in the UK they brought 2 drummers with them. And there was no let up between songs. They were thunderous!!! Great times

[@davidrea6310]

@@ameliacharles2284 I’m 45, and I went to my first concert 1993 to see Nirvana for my 14th birthday. In my life, I’ve seen pig face, gwar, hard-core bands, like hatebreed and integrity, i’ve seen Front 242 and 9 inch nails and everything in between, and nothing will prepare you for the wall sound that is ministry live. I have tinnitus my left ear, and while I like to assume it’s 30+ years of listening to live music and 15+ years of being a roadie, it’s more likely simply because of a Tuesday night in Texas.

[@dwaynejohnson8858]

​@@ameliacharles2284i saw Ministry ones for me such a great Band 😊

[@RussellLambeth]

Can confirm. I saw them twice. Once at a small club in Seattle called "The Oz" in 1989 when they were touring for their "The Land of Rape and Honey" album, then a few years later at Lolapalooza.

[@RussellLambeth]

@@davidrea6310 I have only seen Front 242 ond NiN in the bands you mentioned above in addition to Ministry. Good times both, but not nearly as loud as Ministry!

[@AnnahRoberts76]

Theres no cooler guy than Reverend Al 🖤 Ministry forever my favorite band!🖤

[@charliemoss6379]

This is the soundtrack of my youth,, it's great to see you guys enjoy it too

[@relin6770]

Thieves live is probably the best mosh pit song ever written.. go figure, when I saw them for the first time in Rochester NY I didn't hit the pit. I was only like 30 and I'm 46 now. I feel like such a pussy lol

[@joehermanson_]

I saw Ministry on this tour and it was as epic as it looks! Al never disappoints!

[@slumberlisa]

Ministry was the best band to dance to back in the day!

[@stephengheen1525]

Saw them way back in the day at that show the drill noises they were putting someone on a cross on a wheel and spinning him

[@philthemovieguy81]

Looking forward to you guys doing more Ministry reactions!

[@somerandomguy32]

Uncle al ... your favorite black sheep of the family ..and the one u always hopes randomly shows up at Christmas uninvited....

[@Larsskoldebjer]

Love when Al has that high hat !!!!

[@randalladams7692]

Thanks for picking my song you will love this one rock on this is my fav one by them

[@flashknockdown7271]

Saw em at Lollapalooza 2, changed my musical life forever!!

[@ingobordewick6480]

Yeah, NIN was heavy influence by Ministry.... and Ministry was at the beginning a snythpop project, until Al Jourgensen found a canadian band called "Skinny Puppy", the fathers of modern industrial past "Throbbing Gristle" and early stuff like that. If you want to go down that road, I would suggest "Smothered hope" from Skinny Puppy for a start. They are an awesome live band with an almost performance art show but I would stick to the studio versions for the beginning.

[@td315]

Ok, skinny puppy. Now what other industrial bands are good other than NIN and MM? I love this stuff.

[@GodWeenSatan]

@@td315 Frontline assembly, kmfdm, die Krupps, pigface, front 242, killing joke, godflesh, chemlab and more. A lesser known group that i really like is swamp terrorists

[@johngillespie3409]

@@td315 Revolting Cocks, Lard, KMFDM, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult ( TKK) Laibach ( who rammstein impersonates), Chemlab, Numb, Velvet Acid Christ, Bile, Pigface ( Ministry's drummer's supergroup), Meg Lee Chin, Hanzel und Gretyl

[@achyshaff5653]

Effigy is a perfect example .. but it’s still a great song💜

[@francisbottoni6470]

Invigorating to see young peeps loving this stuff all these years later…it’s really just breathtaking

[@ericwyatt3646]

You need to do LARD. Its this era of Ministry with Jello Biafra singing, dope as fuck.

[@chrisp.14]

I permanently listened to those guys in the early 90s... wait, fuck, i am OLD! Is that 30 years old? I mean, WHAT?

[@SlotDropMarc]

Saw them in 1990 in LA when KMFDM opened for them. Yes in old 😎😊

[@Laraikha]

Depending on when that footage was taken, I do believe that is Bill Rieflin on drums. Bill played with so many big industrial acts. KMFDM, NIN, Ministry, and Pigface. He also has played for R.E.M and King Crimson, and as a session musician, Robbie Williams and Taylor Swift. Bill was a monster on the drums, with absolutely incredible timing.

[@peroskarstorholm4196]

Rey Washam (scratch Acid, Rapeman) played this tour and most of the Filth Pig album, but the original album recording of Thieves is most probably Rieflin.

[@rambro1stbud]

The video is from Sphinctour/Filth Pig-era, so it's Rey Washam on drums. But you're correct that BR played drums on the original song.

[@ja3181]

Alright... Now ( BURNING INSIDE )☢️

[@chaosmcchaos4607]

Love ministry...saw them 4x in concert in the 90s

[@jima6545]

Check out the live album In Case You Didnt Feel like Showing Up. One of the most aggressive things I've ever heard

[@rofyle]

Yes. It's the live performance of the studio album A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste. Sadly, Al hates it now. Hates all his older stuff. He's now doing soft acapella versions of all his old stuff. Stinks to get old I guess

[@APaganPerspective]

you gotta react to JUST ONE FIX..

[@TheShredasaurus]

Agreed

[@lukedrums8463]

Yes

[@antoniofranco2620]

If you listen close, the riff in Just One Fix is SO similar to Du Hast by Rammstein. It almost makes me think Rammstein ripped them off, and Rammstein is my favorite band. Just being honest.

[@liamgoldsmith2955]

110%

Great pick Nathan. Thanks for choosing it. The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste is a legendary album. Burning Inside is my particular favourite You said Dang. You have to do Jesus Built My Hotrod!!

[@Astrofrank]

Burning Inside has a great official (live) video.

[@kitoyobeni1]

For a WTF moment, listen to very early Ministry. As aggressive as they became later, their early stuff was synth pop...

[@EiriUesugiKun]

"Over the Shoulde" could be good starting point ... If I remember correctly, it was less gingeworthy. x)
