Ministry - No Bunny - NYC 1988

[Kissmygreekasss]

hahha i was probably at this show...

[hercropness]

ahhhh...when they still had it!

[archhero1]

If history serves me, the Skatenigs opened most this tour. Beers, Steers, and Queers!

[iliadav]

If I remember correctly Chris Connelly describes this particular show in Ritz in his book. If you are interested in this era Ministry you should read it. It's a great book.

@iliadav My copy arrived this morning :)

[pailhead11]

this music is so good

[kinkabala]

can you imagine lead into gold ever getting back together again , for old times sakes ?

[setxwageslave]

what a gem.

[russiaparussia]

Whether exists video Stigmata, Missing & Deity from this concert?

[j37h3r]

@russiaparussia Yes, I suppose ought to be posted...perhaps I will get the gumption to do so now that you asked...

[losgritar]

genial!!

[imperatorpersae]

this really is boom-shaka-laka....

[bizarro999]

Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters! Al has done many side projects under many names. Too bad he never got that one going.

[davidsldennis]

What a great fuc_ing song, I've never seen this song on any Ministry album, I guess it's a cover. Does anyone know where I can get this song for download? And who's song is it?

[antihero27]

Its Pailhead cover

[davidsldennis]

Yea, I found "No Bunny" on Ministry's Side Trax album but it sucks, Al's not singing it. Uncle Al brings so much more to the song. I wish I could get a copy of him singing it. Anyway, Thanks for the comment.

[skrason]

@davidsldennis: Apparently, you're not familiar with your punk history. Google Minor Threat, Fugazi and Pailhead. You'll figure it out.

[davidsldennis]

@skrason I saw Fugazi back in 1995 or 1996, what does Fugazi have to do with Ministry and/or Al Jourgensen

[skrason]

@davidsldennis : Ian MacKaye is the singer on all the Pailhead stuff.

[EECIEI]

@skrason lol that guy doesn't know shit about ministry or their side projects

[HappyTimeCycles]

try getting Pailhead's EP "Trait". this, and "i will refuse" are on it. Wax Trax is the label.

released....1988?

[brycepunk]

Thank you for sharing this! fcuk, I miss what Ministry could do.

[azynkron]

Agreed.. this is on a totally different level than the speed metal shit they play today.. They aren't even that good at it.

[EECIEI]

the end sounds fucken sick

[gunkhead70]

Great stuff! One question, if you have this complete show, did they play any of the "Twitch" material live? I'd love to see that. There's virtually nothing to be found on You Tube live from Twitch (since we all know Al would never play his earlier material again after this period). Thanks!

[thegame890]

during late 80s and early 90s Ministry's setlist mostly consisted of not only the songs taken from The Land... and The Mind... but also a few Pailhead and RevCo covers. I'm not saying I disagree with you, me too want to see or hear songs from Twich to be played live.

Moreover I can't find Golden Dawn, TV II or Burning Inside live versions. I'm not sure if tracks like Cannibal Song or Never Believe was played live.

I keep on looking

[Idolhands7007]

"in case you didn't feel like showing up" the live version has burning inside and never believe on it.

[AustinKronix]

the saddest part is that TWITCH was one of the greatest Ministry albums. The songs on that album are amazing songs!

Ministry's last tour was shit! i left before it was over...

It wasn't even Ministry...This is Ministry!!! these 88 shows w/ OGRE!!! i love it! (it probably didn't help that they only played anti-Bush Bullshit speed metal songs) (and it didn't help that MESHUGGAH opened for them...the heaviest band on earth...)

well the music will live on forever...

[gunkhead70]

I totally agree. I first got into Ministry when Twitch came out, and it's still my favorite of their albums. I had a friend who saw them play at Medusa's here in Chicago back then...I always wonder how I missed that! I did see Ministry play at the 2nd Lollapalooza (when Psalm 69 was out). It was good (Al was angry that the crowd started throwing big sods of grass/mud at the stage...lol) but they played nothing prior to Land Of Rape & Honey. Shame...

[skatetolive34]

twitch is a gem, indeed- the sound is there- on record- never again to duplicated or fully re-cycled/re-lived. it starts off subtle and ends quite infectious- therefore better played twice in sequence!

[iliadav]

@AustinKronix I agree, the speed anti-Bush metal albums are not coming close to those great times when Al surrounded himself with great musicians and brought so many great songs. His latest collaborators are of much lower level of creativity.

[ObamalsAFailure]

@iliadav I could give this comment 100 thumbs up and it wouldn't be enough.

[Ytrearneindre]

@iliadav Hate Bush, but couldn't agree more.

[spikedawg71]

This is choice! Haven't heard the song in eons never heard ministry's cover at all. Great find, thanx for posting sweetheart!:-)

[Fiddler222]

The sound compensates the shit video. Good music!

[chriso99]

fuck I remember this show - i was the driver that night.

[anacrobat89]

Great song, awesome cover... Pailhead!!

[mtmorgan56]

This is not a cover...Pailhead was Hypo Luxa and Hermes Pan aka Al Jourgensen & Paul Barker. Pailhead was a side project.

[anacrobat89]

You're right, I just meant a cover in the sense that Ian MacKaye had done the vocals for Pailhead.

[jasinvt]

dont forget about Ian makkay....is that the right spelling?

[steakhouselights]

Close enough respectfully

[pailhead11]

Was there more pailhead at this show?

[j37h3r]

No, sorry. RevCo tho...I should get to posting that soon.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

@j37h3r Why woudl they play only one Pailhead song and neglect the others?

"Don't Stand in Line" is a classic.............better than "No Bunny".

[EECIEI]

@DIVISIONINCISION that's your opinion not everybody likes the same thing

[BRABHAM64]

"God bless - Heroin"!

Thanks j37h3r for this video.
