First heard this in '89 at a tiny club in Portchester, NYthat Moby was dj'ing at. I asked him what he just played and he showed me the grim album cover called: Trait. So glad I bought it afterwards. Truly one of the great never-heard-of-them-bands.
I heard of them in the early 90's but only because Ian McKaye (of Minor Threat and Fugazi) sang vocals. Only later did I find Ministry and appreciate the connection. Great band.
You mean the Beat? Tacky punk Dave used to play "I Will Refuse" all the time. That was like our mosh song. I don't remember Moby playing a lot of heavy stuff, but he was pretty eclectic. That was obviously before he got himself fired for playing too much hip-hop.
It's cool they continued to play these songs, but if you're a Pailhead fan, they don't don them very well live, at least not in the videos on here...they fuck up the lyrics, vocals, and music...it's like they give less of a shit since Ian isn't there with them...
You have a point. I would've loved to have seen/heard Ian perform Pailhead tracks live, but I guess that was never gonna happen. I mean, how does the most famous straightedge in the world tour with the most notorious junkie on the planet? So, that's why I'm so happy to see these videos. They're the best we are EVER going to have.
i'll agree that "MINISTRY" is the loudest band! i saw them and im still not right...my hearing had never been the same...shit and that was almost 8 years ago!hahah lol
Oh GOD! This show literally ruined me. I saw it in Chicago at the riviera. They had a line up of ambulances outside the venue before the show. It was like the best and worst PR for the tour. This show is actually tame compared to the bodies being pulled from chicago.
It's already been commented that for once the fence on the stage protected the fans from the band. The energy from this show literally drained the audience. I think that it was a Monday night, definitely a work night. My job was answering sales calls, and after this show I couldn't hear for almost 2 days.
MINISTRY kicks ass....Actually the wire fence is usually here to protect the band from the crowd, here it is meant to protect the audience from the band. GREAT!! Thanks for posting.
Yeah ... I'd agree. I think that it IS indeed Joe Kelley on vocals. He toured with them on this tour. I remember him being a big skate fan when I lived in Chicago. This tour was absolutely berserk. The apex of Ministry's live shows.
i'm prolly wrong about that but it almost sounds a bit like Jello singing the main vocal bit.. does anyone know if he did any other dates with them on the tour other than the one they recorded for the In case you didn't feel like showing up video???
GGAllinIsGod I was also disappointed when checking for LARD on Youtube. Thus i support your calling: if anyone got some LARD stuff, you'll make a couple of guys happier, and basically thousands more...THANK TO YOU FELLA WHO POSTED THIS PAILHEAD, HIT ME DIRECT IN THE CORTEX!!!
I saw this tour at the old Channel in Boston. I was the craziest show I ever saw; the pit was 3 stories high. They didn't do this song that night, though. I'm a pailhead fan also... thanks for putting this up.
lol i was at that same show at the channel and yea they didnt do this song but man the shows ministry did at the channel were great out of control so much fun got pumbled at one of the shows i think it was the first revolting cocks show at the channel so great!!!!
hey man remember the fence came down in like the first fucking song and al congrats us i remember him saying this was like the third date of the tour and Boston was the first to get the fence down, lol great show.

I actually like hearing this much more than the one on the actual record. Its raw, it has more energy, its hardcore.
No bunny is not that great in this performance though, and i'd love to hear/see i will refuse if they performed it here.

@AJtheory I think it's just that Al gives the Pailhead songs more of his own style when he's doing them versus if it was Ian.

pailhead11 3 years ago
1 in 6,450,543. I'm pretty sure Ministry's about coming up on that number of performances pretty quickly, so you may actually get to hear this live.
