Ministry - "Over The Shoulder"

[WaywardTusk]

Hair today.. gone tomorrow :P

[Athlor1]

The best Ministry stuff. Once they discovered guitars it was over.

[bigscreenism1]

If it was not for this...there would be no A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste....Beats are the same.

[ARMAREDI]

this album was my first ministry album :-)

[voltronsky]

this is just so wrong. Thank fuck Al wised up.

[lowbutlow]

twich is ace, i had to suffer on it a lot but later i learned to respect and love it.

i bought the cd together w/ themind and landof after listening to psalm69 so i had to be shocked. check the song theisleofman

[PapaWontLeaveUHenry]

@lowbutlow Twitch, along with Land Of Rape And Honey are two of my favorite Ministry records. I love that you can hear how their music is transitioning from With Sympathy into Land with this album.

[SuperSteelydanfan]

LOve this song!!!!

[UNTERKUNST]

who needs heroin when you got ministry? oh wait,, i mean..

[ministryjunky]

Ok...quite possibly the best song ever! Al looks cool as hell here....kind of like and alternative Jesus. Al I Love You!

[chuckcegielski]

chuck was here...no ......over....here !!

[TheXtro101]

Never heard this song from Ministry,ol skool but still sounds "badass".Not this new Industrial that's out at the clubs in the last 6-8 years that sounds alittle too much like Trance music from 1 of those mega Raves & singing lyrics sounding too robotic.

[mikhailgoluboy]

I love this song and I'm amazed that they actually used one of the remixes for the video instead of the album version. I've been listening to this song for 23 years without ever seeing the video until now. I have to be honest, they couldve done better ... my 80's drug-induced internal video was far superior to this one.

[spadeofdiamonds]

@mikhailgoluboy Best comment ever! HA! I think a lot of us feel this way.

[russianimp1]

Awesome video, awesome song, awesome band.

[pelele70]

Pedazo temarraco Manámana de los 80....

[decayedmatter]

What a delicious looking omelet!

[engeldust]

One person is a fan of Justin Beiber.

[vinny20000]

see...all you need to make a video is a camera and a grocery store.

[cptnwilliamread]

I have been looking for this video for 2 years (mostly late, mostly drunk) HURRAY!

Listening back on famous bands is top prority- insight into their progression, definitely a better appreciation for the style of music they made that got YOU listening.

[EBMgr33c3]

lyric sites write; "things are gonna go far, down a real big fast car" wtf???AARGH!!

such a good cheeky line too:

"o big cigar, go far,

diamond ring, big fast car"

(clear as day, god, he may be crazy, but he has a good command of the English language)

[4evernate28]

@EBMgr33c3 I always thought it was "drive a real big fast car"...

[911924]

it's certainly in England because the video was directed by Peter Christopherson

[Lunarwill]

@911924 I thought I recognized Uncle Sleazy's hand in this video.

[fr0ntl1n3]

this is the REAL Ministry, never forget!

[dylanbirkholz]

@fr0ntl1n3 this is the ministry the record label wanted them 2 be

[fr0ntl1n3]

@dylanbirkholz I'm gonna have to go and disagree with ya there Dylan. Twitch (the album) was on Sire records in 1985.

The evil label according to Al was Arista Records circa 1983 during With Sympathy...

[SweetSweetWaldo]

@fr0ntl1n3 Arista releases bankrolled the stuff he wanted to do in subsequent years. Al claims he wanted to do a lot of the 'Twitch' material in '82, but the producers wanted to steer him in a more synth pop direction. If Al released 'Twitch' in '82, he would never have become a rock star, and he knows it. Hating his formative years is a major part of his identity.

[nukecat]

@fr0ntl1n3 sorry to disappoint but he loathed this chapter in his life

[nukecat]

@fr0ntl1n3 i agree. however, im sorry to disappoint u but he loathed this chapter in his life

[dang9669]

@fr0ntl1n3

whatever...all Ministry is "REAL Ministry". 22 thumbs up your ass

[jonBlcksnds]

This is clearly in England, that car has British plates and of course right hand drive, Al was over here in the late 80s working in London as an engineer (if I'm not mistaken) with OnU Sound, which is where he met all the Killing Joke guys.

[module8]

@jonBlcksnds Oh, that might explain why Al sang Everyday is Halloween in a horrible British accent lol. Thanks for the info

[babah77088]

Whats Up OLE MATE

[midactsD]

The best songs are always in the bands early years .

[redwhirl]

@midactsD Agreed! 

[megatwingo]

Very nice. Thumbs up!

[perspectivehorizon]

too good to be true

[AdobeGillis]

@ siness: I wonder if any of the scenery is shot in Chicago? I don't recognize any of it, but there are millions of backalleys here.

[adumanter]

@AdobeGillis It looks asthough most of the video was shot in england, the road outside the supermarket, the supermarket, the scrapyard (with english plates), and the kitchen scene all look very british to me.

[unnim]

This is the first detect edges display. Its a spectormeter.

[unnim]

This is the first  detect edges display.

[richardsdead]

this video has much better sound than the muffled farty versions on here. a classic that surprised me on tapes of wrath and started my almost magical journey into the brilliance al was achieving in his pre metal years. :) two thumbs up from me!

[fukuandieyuppieskum]

FYI, the name of the song is Over The Shoulder

[siness1234]

actually Chicago

[unnim]

I stand corrected



[unnim]

yes i like flower nipples yes

[unnim]

nipples nipples

[unnim]

Well I think that this vid is misleadin, see they are frome TEXAS not england.

[jhatzia]

@unnim Ministry was formed in Chicago back in 81, they moved down to Texas after Psalm 69
