Is it just me or does this sound *exactly* like NIN? 
Just heard a band called Ministry
- Thread starter SkaredShtles
- Start date
Except I'm pretty sure Ministry was around before NIN.
SS, the 80s are calling and they want their band back.
You've never heard Ministry before? They aren't (or didn't used to be) anything like NIN.
You just heard a Ministry song???? Where have you been hiding???
LMAO
Shuttles is on a roll today....

<shrug> All I know is that the song "Supernaut" sure did remind me of NIN.
yeah dude ministry is a great band been around a lot longer then NIN, ever hear of nuclear assault?
Ministry - a mind is a terrible thing to taste.
SS - a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

all i want to do is dang along ling long my ding a ling long "jesus was a carpenter previous to his life as a prophet"
I was just playing Land of Rape and Honey the other day.
*edit: And why is Trent Reznor even around anymore? He hasn't done anything even remotely good as an album since his Broken EP. (aside from some work on NBK and Quake)

"A mind is a terrible thing to taste" is in my opinion the pinnacle of Ministry's career.SkaredShtles said:

As an aside - I almost ran over Al Jorgenson in a cross walk in Atlanta. My bad.
I only liked their first album... the rest were crap.
With Sympathy

My personal favorite Al collaboration work is with Ian MacKaye, i.e. Pailhead.narlus said:
I do think that Mind is still Ministry's best album.
Calm down...., SS is a hippie. He gets a little mudheaded from time to time.Metal Dude said:

How about Lard? Yeegads. I guess you have to be real big Jello fan to dig it. I don't know. I could never handle more than a song or two at a time.
N8, al's personally sworn off _With Sympathy_ (really lite synth-rock, if i recall correctly) and destroyed the master tapes.
btw, metaldude, if you think ministry invented the industrial genre, do some more homework.

I think Pailhead was great as well. I didn't have the album, but I did have the 'Man will Surrender' ep.pixelninja said:
Yeah, Lard was a bit over the top.jdschall said:
Anyone got a copy of 1000 Homo DJs they can burn for me?
Skool that dude!narlus said:
That's ok, I have the CD!narlus said:
So who did invent industrial, some skinny german dude with weird hair, dabbling in his basement no doubt?
He might be kind of pretty if he'd smile a bit.DVNT said:
the germans were certainly on the scene. einsturzende neubaten; roughly translated as 'collapsing new buildings' is an important fixture, and one could easily put a credible thesis that Faust outgrew the krautrock movement and dug into industrial territory. but i'd say england carried the ball the earliest, and maybe the farthest. Throbbing Gristle is a key piece of the puzzle, as was Test Dept (known for clanging on sheets of metal). Nurse With Wound and Current 93 also got tagged w/ the name, but NWW is more sound collage/musique concrete; C93's early work is very much so industrial w/ a very dark outlook. leader david tibet (who is a frequent collaborator w/ NWW mainstay Steven Stapleton) has changed paths drastically.jdschall said:
american bands of note include Pussy Galore (industrial clatter filled w/ punk venom) and Savage Republic, esp their 1st record which is filled w/ percussion courtesy of a 55 gal oil drum.
i think i posted a post-Op genesis picture on another board and got some serious flak for it.DVNT said:
basically, he and his wife are attempting to become the same person.
yep, they were definitely a key member too. i'm not heavily into the scene (though i do really like NWW and C93).DVNT said:
another band of note is New Zealand's Skeptics.
hell, even Human League started out very harsh, in comparison to their later synthed-out pop hits (they took the opposite approach from Ministry).
