Thanks for the memories!
Simply Perfect
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Without a doubt, this is an exceptional live video. It's fun to try and spot how many various weirdo crazies of the music world weave in and out of this visually drug-splattered slew of some of Ministry's greatest work (especially since a lot of these guys were known to look drastically different from one photo you'd see to the next). Chris Connelly, Killing Joke's Martin Atkins, Jello Biafra, and Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy are only a handful of the colorful cast that helps fill this video right back to the darkest corners of the dry ice haze. Together, they careen through one classic track after another, kicking off the starting point ("Breathe") with a duel between drummers Atkins and Bill Rieflin, crumbling into a wall of gratuitous noise and ad-libbed misanthropic "f**k you" screaming, and then marching forward from the debris to mock the far right with the pseudo-fascist theatrical presentation of "The Land Of Rape And Honey". Peppered with "Faces Of Death" clips and some of the druggiest subliminal imagery possible, if you truly dig Ministry, this is a video for you.
