Ministry "Work For Love" LIVE 1983

I like all Ministry productions. Can u suggest me other bands that sound/sounded like Ministry in the With Symphaty/Twitch era? Not Skinny Puppy though - i already got their discography

Early Ministry was the SHIT!!! thanks fro posting!

"You said you needed full time help cos you're all alone I said I'd work for nothing at all if I just could take you home"

The transition Al made from soft and moody to hard headed and stern always amazes me. Did the company really write ALL the songs?

I saw them open for Madness on Pier 17 in 1983 in NYC. While I liked their work from "With Sympathy," there could not have been a more inappropriate act to open for a Ska crowd. To their credit they were great at that show, but frankly, no one really wanted to hear anything but Ska.  Of course, some industrial/metal versions of Ska songs would be a great new project for Al, but that's one man's opinion.

Yes Paul Barker was very good and Ministry may not have made it as far as they did if not for him, check out Lead Into Gold for some Barker madness

we all grow and come full circle, thanks Al(Alien)

Al Did This record with my boyfriend and Vince Ely in Boston, I got to hang out with The Ministry and the Drummer was married at my house. I love the Ministry now and then. Sorry Al, I know how you hated that time, remember Shasta?

Great song. Love the old footage, all this grainyness adds to the whole atmosphere of it all, esp since its Ministry. 'Everyday is like Halloween' is even better!! Shame about losing Paul Barker. I think Ministry lost its sound after he left and turned all metal on us. Not a tottally bad thing, but Im one of the few who prefer 'Dark side of the spoon'.

Be proud Al. What a gift you have. Thank you.

I saw them perform at a small club, in 2003. I wanted to get a chant of, "Work For Love" going. But after Al went head first into the crowd, to wail on some guy spitting at him; I thought better of it.
