Ministry's Al Jourgensen Talks HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, Biden vs. Trump Pt. 2, and More 

Al just resonates so much with how I approach life, it's amazing. Also, great to hear about Paul Barker rejoining for a new album! That should be awesome!

Love the new album. Thought that sounded like Eugene. Glad to see Hypo Luxa and Hermes Pan back together

He lives on another planet

Al is a special man, i like to hear him talk about all sort of things. Nice Paul Barker is coming back !

Was the first time I’ve seen him have clean hair tbh so that was a tad schocking but he looks good and sounds like he’s got his fans in mind like always. I can’t stand the divisive “ only a fan if you like the old / new ministry” I’m glad he’s come around to re-recording and sharing these gems w newer listeners

Al thank you for all the great music and insightful comments through out the years. Gracias!

Al Rules Ministry Rule🤘🏼🔥

Ministry's got a new album? Well ding a ding dang my ding a long ling long!

These guys should be inducted in the RnRHoF... they undeniably changed music. (I wasn't aware you can leave entries/wishes when you visit...which I did sept, 2023) Best album: In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up!!! Cheers from The Netherlands!!!

Life-long fan of AJ. More wise words from the godfather of industrial music.

Looks a lot better with the forehead getting lasered. Looking and sounding healthy.

He looks good without Metal in the face ;o)

Al, Du bist Einer der Bedeutendsten Moralphilosophen unserer Zeit! Genieße, was dir Gott beschieden, entbehre gern was du nicht hast, ein jeder Stand hat seinen Frieden, ein jeder Stand hat seine Last. (Christian Fürchtegott Gellert)

I've never seen him without his bandana thing on for 25+ years.

Uncle Al and Jello❤❤

AJ looks at both Trump and Biden..."Trump is senile" LOL

who is doing the female vocals on the new album? Is that Lucia from KMFDM?

It’s amazing how friends of William Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson live forever and leave their drug fueled past behind to become messiahs.

I love Al. He's so well spoken and educated, and I love that he brings these very important world topics up in Ministry.

I would love to see Ministry playing only songs from one album if it were one of their first four albums, wish I could see them play songs from Twitch and With Sympathy

Thanks Al!

Cool. I always loved Paul's basslines like the one in So What and What about Us?

Good interview

. I had no clue he was running for President. He should keep his day job for real.

Brining back Paul Barker would be awesome!

What are the rich people going to do when their money cant help them any longer? Simply fly to another planet for a re-harvest...

If you’re shocked by anything he says here, you haven’t been paying attention. As a fan from Chicago, back from 1982, this is the Al I’ve always known. 🖤

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. But I never have cared much for the opinions of many of the people who make good music since long ago. Unless one aspect of their existence is to be, in the words of Dethklok, a "regular jackoff" like me who doesn't make records, party, OD, and tour for a living.

Uncle Al is right - Filth Pig is a masterpiece!!! Can’t wait to hear the new one!

Uncle Al is your friend. A good friend.

How the underdog became the trained pup, uncle you've had enough. New world order, bought and payed for

Greetings Strangers, I appear to have wandered into a community about which I know nothing - never heard a Ministry song or a Taylor Swift song for that matter - but I’ve seen one Ministry video - GWT -so that’s one more than Taylor Swift - I should probably watch one by her and then do a reaction video to both at one time - Nevermind - The reason I felt inclined to comment - it’s a disturbing RU-vid editing trend and it generally pisses me off when someone is making what could be a controversial statement - this edit every three seconds whether it needs it or not is WRONG when someone being interviewed is making a coherent point - Did you even listen to what Mr. Jourgensen was saying about Artificial Intelligence leading to an era of disinformation - if you edit the sentences into simple phrases or single words that ‘you the editor’ repurpose into whatever your viewpoint is - you lose the information that Mr. Jourgensen was trying to make - maybe you weren’t doing that - but thanks to some RU-vid editing trend - we’ll never know - great interview (I’ll definitely check out the channel) - don’t take offense at my editing critique - “I’m not your Papaw - I’m like the Royal Papaw.” Oh yea - the video - Ministry Rocks!

Al logical Jourgensen. Progressive, and bases his opinions on research rather than ignorant theories spewed on by the stubborn & misinformed.

Ministry Rocked at Cruel World 2024!

The Light Pours Out of Me from Vancouver show March 3, 2024 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SPvZmnrUeS8.html. #montepittman #ministryband

I oughta just piss on all my ministry albums honestly

and still , few are the artists willing to talk about Palestine and the US complicity regarding Genocide there... Big fan of Ministry though, yet It's a shame that there was not a single word about that. Talking about what the majority agrees on ( like Ukraine) , is easy... standing up and speaking up against Ethnic cleansing and apartheid seems more complicated for many artists, even those who claim to be " free spirits" , anyway, interesting interview.

If you don't know he was intelligent by his music, i hope this opens your eyes. Al for president!

i love uncle Al because he quits. ...whatever, he does and later he quits: drugs, piercings, tats, booze, dreadlocks etc..etc...

The duality of it is; an old oligarch versus an old fascist and thats where we live. A fascist oligarchy. Renewables have to make both ideologies happy. Ive known it forever. Fascist oligarchy... democracy would nean Rob Z could actually run for the Congress or President. Nope cant cut out Central Casting, andcas long as there is. Central Casting, I dont see how it is democratic? Hope I made sense. Some guy on the radio said I dont make sense when I rant on this particular subject.

People who are surprised he's not a fan of Trump have not been listening to his lyrics from the beginning.

Looks like Al found a new drug.

Спасибо что вы есть … на этом земном шаре..

Didn’t say it was still 1982. Said he’s been like this since at least then….which just goes to show how not new this woke ideology is.

He's saying the right caused all of this...........WTF.. Com-on Al you know better!

I would love to see Al on the John Stewart daily show.

and THIS is why I amlistening to Ministry still, and Kerry King not so much....

Love al but wish he would come to the realization his political rants arent helping his fan base

I must say that I am in the MAGA movement and I am not uneducated, in fact quite the opposite. I am a conservative who is an Atheist who believes that we should be energy independent, while research is being conducted in an unbiased fashion to find a cleaner and more abundant energy source without putting everyone into abject poverty.

I love ya Al but no one really gets hard for the "finest piece": Filth Pig.

Hello gorgeous

Al, love your fire but honey, there is no political left and right anymore, it's all corporations. Also EVs are not green, please look deeper, question everything. Oil isn't great but could be mitigated by a shift in society and forcing long commutes. E is NOT the answer!. Dogspeed, Sir. xo

Is he wearing a wig?? 😳

Stopped being a Ministry fan after he got TDS. Sad that people are unable to think for themselves.

Historically, artists used music to inspire people in situations in society, such as Ministry has , about Donald Trump in office witch dose reflect on conflicts and creativity, and the need for the message. Im just great full to see Uncle AL .

Well Guess thats another of my faves that can Walk. Too bad, remember when minstry was actually about something?

Hey Al.....You can keep California...

Let's Go Brandon

A truly parasitised mind.

Al's pronouns are "HE WON",

He drank the coolaid

Why doesn't Al ever criticize Democrats for the wars they start? The Nord Stream pipeline, apparently caused by a US led demolition team, was one of the worst environmental disasters ever. Crickets from Jourgensen.

if coal fired plants quit then solar will work better ahh

That's a wig

I do respect how he says we should listen to opposing opinions... however, the broad, close minded view he has on Trump supporters sounds like he has allowed the Establishment to brain wash him, or pay him.... the same shock, awe and disgust can easily be projected on a Biden supporter

MAGA !!!!!

Where's all the brass in his face? Anyway, I was a fan until the Animositisomina album after that he and his music were rather annoying and tbh politically he just lives in his parallel world today and still thinks he's in 1986 ... grow up uncle Al

One of the few artists who talk politics I can agree with… why? Because he isn’t a leftist or a conservative. He makes his own opinions

Guess I'm one of them idiots because I disagree with almost everything this dude said..... sad🏴‍☠️

What I love about Al Jourgensen is the same thing I love about Frank Zappa, that I don't want to be part of a club that would have me as a member (paraphrasing Groucho Marx). After Trump committed election fraud and became president my son cheered me up by telling me, at least al jourgensen will be making music. Not only was it the truth (I think I saw an interview prior to the election AJ said that Ministry was no longer together. I laughed and said, good point. Ministry will be in Dallas a couple weeks after my birthday. I can't wait! read the lyrics to FZ's, Jesus Thinks Your a Jerk to gain some understanding who, what and when are behind the Trump/MAGA Armageddon by Any Means Necessary Movement.

Maga 4 life

😖 al just shut it.

Yeah ok Al, let`s all give up our lives for climate change stop producing oil.

I don't hear any intelligents coming from him. I am a ministry fan for the music. (Person in crowd) SHUT UP AND PLAY A SONG!

He's delusional about the climate and Trump.

this is what prolonged drug usage does to your brain.

MAGA is violent and not BLM? Wow. Nice observation Al.

Trump 2024 VOTE RED VOTE TRUMP 2024

Don't take political advice from Al Jourgensen. Anyway, this ex-dem will be voting TRUMP 2024!

Al needs to cut back on that wig glue...

How sad how sad very disappointed

If you are a drug addict with 40 years of experience and a supporter of antifa against Trump, then I am for Trump with both hands

Ministry is ASS

Trump 2024!!!!!

Dave Grohl for president

His music is.good But his leftist views are in the dark.Im disappointed at unkle AL.He doesn't know what up.Trump 2024

Never listen to artists about important political issues. They live in fantasy worlds.

I was at the Ministry concert a couple of days ago and walked out after the fourth song started. Homeboy really thought it was hard-edged to do an hour-and-change CNN segment. The lyrics are milquetoast. The music is a wan rehash. I got my money's worth with FLA and Gary Numan, but Ministry fell off. Paul Barker wasn't there, anyway, so you could hardly call it Ministry to begin with.

Al sold us to the left....he repeats himself too much. Wait...he is playing to a track...like milli vanilli

Al is Jourgen off again. He licks boots now. I used to love Ministry.

hes in a good place. but i just wish he wasnt fuckin left wing

Al Jourgensen and Ministry has gone full on woke leftist brainwashed now. FUCK THAT! I USED TO BE A MINISTRY FAN! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BUM TALK AL? WE ARE THE ANTIFA? HATING ON TRUMP? LEFTISTS ARE THE MOST UNEDUCATED PEOPLE IM THE WORLD. MAGA DOESN'T FUCK UP ANYONE'S MINDS EXCEPT FOR RACISTS. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FAKE ASS PSY OP HOAX LIE TOO, AL. FUCK UKRAINE AND THE SO CALLED SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF NEONAZI FACIST TYRANNY THUG TERRORISTS TOO, AL. WAKE THE FUCK UP, AL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK CONTEXT YOUR EVEN TALKING ABOUT AND YOUR STARTING TO GO SENILE, MY MAN. SHUT THE FUCK UP WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD AND YOU STILL HAVE A HEAD. GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU AL.
