Ministry "So So Life" LIVE 1983

This is for all those who continue to believe Al's story that With Sympathy was the result of an over zealous production team at Arista. And for those, like myself, who are fond of the early Ministry sound. This is the second song from the 7/20/83 show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN.

my mother saw ministry open for simple minds in 83 and i saw them on the 89 tour. HUGE difference in style. i indeed like all of al's sounds. so what?

I actually grew up with the Synth-Pop Ministry. Never could remember the name. I got into the metal stuff like 4-5 years ago and when I found out they were the same I couldn't believe it. Love it all!!!

a once cool Al J.  I love metal but I wondered how original fans felt when they started playing to metal meat heads???

i just find out about this band, and im amazed, they "were" really good. with sympathy and early trax are a must buy. But for some reason i can't seem to find this song on any of their early new wave albums, any one kind enough to tell me where this song can be found, is it a b-side?

Nothing he ever made was bad? You're being WAY too nice to the last 3 Ministry albums he shat out

[Silks]

I still can't listen to the With Sympathy album, but almost all the pre-Twitch stuff I've heard LIVE recordings of I like a lot.

@0ut0f7h1sw0r1d Actually its Synth Pop(Electro soso life etc), Cyber Punk(The mind is a terrible thing to taste etc, the land of rape and ......) , Industrial(Psalm69etc....) and Metal(Rio grande blood ect....) Eras

How sad it was to have AL move from this sound so fast, another with sympathy album would have been great, story goes that he bought a fairlight and went crazy, All Day, Halloween, nature of Love, and Twitch. with sympathy was considered  hardcore New wave at the time when people were listening to culture club. Twitch was an amazing album even though DEpeche mode already had the sound by 83, Twitch was awesome, no one came near that style. then Rape and honey changed everything also great
