The first version released did have Al's vocals. TVT were being complete asshole's over Trent's participation, so Al re-recorded the vocals, but used Trent's track as his guide vocal. Trent's version later showed up on TVT's Black Box compilation and it's also on Ministry's Greatest Fits album. For some serious fun, play both versions back to back.
There were (at least) two versions of this song, one with Trent on vocals and one with Al Jourgensen. The one with Trent (this one, btw) was never released due to legal issues Trent was having with TVT Records at the time. I have the CD with Al's vocals and this is definitely the one with Trent singing.
This version actually was released on a compilation Black Box - Wax Trax! Records: The First 13 Years. It was the only version I'd heard for years, I didn't know there was a Jorurgensen vox version out there till recently.
I was reading in a later interview where Al Jourgensen said that it was really Trent on vocals they just added a lot of compression to make it sound like his voice. After reading that I could make out Trent's voice a little easier.
i have never heard al jourgensen's voice in my entire life, but i know trent's voice. trust me, that is trent reznor singing that song. hands down there is no debate. that is trent mothafuckin reznor of nine inch nails
You need to go back and read the liner notes ofthe N.I.B. album...it's 1000 Homo DJ's (Trent Reznor IS is in the band), but the vocals for this track were done by AL JOURGENSEN, of Ministry, et. al.
there were 2 versions recorded cause tvt wouldnt let the trent version be released on wax trax (they later bought wax trax though) this is the trent version. listen to the version on the actual album u can tell the difference.
i remember reading along time ago, that there is an actual "undistorted" version that was available somewhere. its so extremely rare, beyond even knowing if it does exist or not. again, long time ago i read.
Great musicians, but the lead singer either needs to get a new microphone, or take a few more lessons. Sing it as if you mean it, man!! Vocally overdone.
dazzle 0607, the version where Al sings is on Ministrys' best of album, this is a pure demo that was released on the black market and can be found on most NIN bootleg albums...
the one with "Al' signing is really Trent. Trent's label wouldn't let him appear on the Sabbath Tribute...so Al took the track and ran it through an effect and said it was him...problem solved ..but I agree I am so used to the other track that I like the 'effected' one better...even better than the sabbath version...this riff is just...AWESOME. Iommi is pure metal genius
I don't think there was a version with Al singing; he said he didn't want to rerecord it so he just distorted the vocals. There may have been a second take, however, because this sounds a little different from the Nativity in Black BS tribute.
This song made headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers piss their fuzzy dice pants at Lollapalooza 2. Everyone at the festival went Apeshit and by the time R.H.C.P. took to the stage the crowd were like "...umm, can we have Ministry again?".
I was about to say... "Did Trent Resnor sing for 1000 Homo Dj's?" rofl. Was like... NO WAY!
Yeah I agree... Who cares about views but that does get annoying when you search for something and you nothing but bullshit. Ppl do that on Limewire lots, it pisses me off.
He did sing for 1kHDJs, but TVT records wouldn't release it because of their contract disputes. His original vocals were released in a later version of the song. I'm pretty sure this is the Trent version of the song.
,,1000 Homo DJ's is a Ministry side project. The vocals are Trent Reznor, but the music is Ministry (Al Jorgenson, Paul Barker).

The origonal Sabbath record [Vol 4] lists the credits as Ionni/Ward/Butler/Osbourne and doesn't specify who wrote what... however I'd say it's a safe assumption to say Ozzy did the lyrics.

"No it is was Al's side project but Trent did the vocals for this one song."
The Trent Reznor on vocals is from the Wax Trax "Black Box Set" of industrial music classics.
1:04-1:05 and 1:08-1:09 are the reasons I don't like the Trent Reznor version of this song. He screeches like an owl.
The version with Al on vocals is from the 1000 Homo DJ's CD ... along with other good songs like Hey, Asshole ....
The Al version is even heavier than this one, and is one of my favorite songs.
