Right on! I saw every Ministry show from 1988-2008 when they came to the West Coast. Chigago '96 must have been amazing! Lay Lady Lay was crisp and Filth Pig and Dead Guy tore the speakers up, too
I do, I think about that Ministry show not infrequently. I was up in the balcony and there were two opposing circular mosh pits going at once, in opposite directions, the wildest I've ever seen, people were carried out! That same summer at the same venue on my birthday, I crashed the Sex Pistols dressing room and fangirled Johnny. He took it pretty well, didn't eviscerate me.
I thought you would dig this, from
Al Jourgensen drove a motorcycle into the studio during the recording of Scumdogs of the Universe and spelt out the word FUGAZI in cocaine. I believe it to be true
Lolololol "Save Image"
I still can't reconcile their early sound to their later sound. What the hell happened there.
Which was ironic because they were notorious straight-edges. I'll confirm it's true, because I hung out with some of his friends and they were the type to leave cars burning in intersections.
Ah but on the WEST coast I saw Mogwai in San Francisco and THAT has to be the biggest, most epic show I've ever seen.
