Ministry!

Breathe! Live



The fans destroyed the venue. Local place in NW Indiana. I mean just fucking destroyed the place! Ripped seats out of the floor, broke doors.... Complete mayhem. Needless to say, no more heavy acts at the Holiday Star....

1. I saw them on their first tour in Milwaukee after they 'changed' in 1988

Their last hit before 'Land of Rape and Honey' was "Every Day Is Halloween", which is decidedly in the direction of narrow, leather ties, peppy synthesizers lines, and big, Flock of Seagulls hair.

They came on that night with 'Flashback', and blew the mousse out of the big hair new wave types who expected the 'old' Ministry.

I loved it, lol.

I dig their early stuff, but Mind is a terrible thing to taste & Psalm 69 were the creme de la creme!

Ministry rocks. Same for all their side bands. Saw RevCo a couple years back and Ministry last year at Riot Fest.

Taime Downe from Faster Pussycat. Huge band on the Chicago metal scene. We all loved them. My ex guitar player ran into him at a pigface show and told him how much Pussycat meant to every band he'd been in. Time was like, "that was lame I'm embarresed." Pat told him to go fuck himself. Right on Pat!
