I did the same with my daughter, then she introduced to new stuff like death grips and machine girl, she's 23 now, working on her own tunes, like i've also been doing for over 30years... good times, cheers!
What old folks homes are you hanging out in?! The ones I go visit know how to fucking ROCK, headbang, be more than a public nuisance, AND shit ALWAYS goes down-hill and dumps on the sheeple!
My very abusive boyfriend introduced me to this album back in 1993, not realizing this song would eventually help me build up the escape velocity to get away from him. Despite the anger of the music, it's actually a very warm sentimental song for its meaning to me. Last year I had to move thanks to a belligerent stalking neighbor, but all the depression and anxiety of the Covid lockdown had a paralyzing effect that prevented me from packing. Then I remembered this album and it got me ready in time for moving day! Thank you, Al Jourgensen, for prying me loose from two abusers in my life. We should donate copies of this song to every domestic violence center in the english-speaking world.
I'm 62 and discovered them just six months ago! I got the entire library with no hesitation, and can't find a tune I don't like. I can't start a session without them!
Stronger than reason Stronger than lies The only truth I know Is the look in your eyes ... The look in your eyes Just like a car crash Just like a knife My favorite weapon Is the look in your eyes You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies There's a ton locked in your empty eyes Get out of my life I'm chewing on glass And eating my fingers I'm not the one Who's run out of lies Lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of lies You've run out of time Cutting my face And walking on splinters I lost my soul To the look in your eyes Your eyes You ran out of lies You ran out of lies You ran out of lies You ran out of time Stigmata Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, yes Oh, you have empty eyes, They tell me nothing, nothing but lies, yes Yes
There is just something about this old school industrial (rock/metal/___), that I can’t get enough of it. Even after the years, it still sounds futuristic and cyberpunk as fuck.
A long time ago, I spent almost $1,100 on putting in a car stereo just so I could roll down the street playing Ministry, NIN, Thrill Kill Cult, and others. This was...in the early to mid 90's. Can you believe I can still hear okay? I wake up in the morning and am amazed I heard the alarm clock.
omg- can I date you? that's so cool! I saw all 3! Trent R poured champagne on my head, I broke my nose at Ministry's mosh pit, and almost got robbed in Trenton NJ to see TKC!!
Love it. Makes me wanna shave my head and set fire to a Starbucks. The first rule of listening to Ministry is you don't tell people what you wanna do while listening to Ministry.
Al Jourgensen did later lament using sampled guitar for this song versus actual guitar. But it still rocks. I used to play this song and Welcome to Paradise (Front242) really loud with the windows down just to piss off the local yocals.
Craziest concert I ever attended. Lollapalooza ‘92 in Miami. Over 100,000 people in the venue and a giant mosh pit about 50 yards across churning like a stationary hurricane in the middle of it. Hot as hell. When we left the concert the radio was telling us we were under an evacuation notice because Hurricane Andrew was heading our way. After an entire day in the broiling sun we decided that we needed sleep and we would worry about the hurricane in the morning. Good times.
I saw them in Mass. in 1992 when the crowd burned down the fence and I think the festival was banned from playing the venue called Great Woods for a couple of years.
Senser is way more the hip-hop end of things compared to Ministry . not that it's a bad thing , hell I spent my teens with Ministry and Popwilleatitself and KMFDM . Ministry just kept getting heavier every album .
This song is a home I recognize . Miss this kind of music from my college days.... Anyone, out there bring this back please. When Industrial and goth meet and it was the release of pain without taking anyone else down. It's your story get through it.
I’m going to be 23 this year and still have yet to find people who love this band around my age outside of a few in online communities. Such a great band and such solid music.
@@halroxdynasty8683 Thank you! Like I said we exist it’s just very hard to find people I’m big into Muse, Korn, Rob/White Zombie, Powerman5000, Filter and NIN. Anything similar in genre to them. I grew up with Coldplay, Metallica, RHCP and the genres of hair/traditional heavy metal coming from outside family, and country/soft rock from my main household. Unfortunately for them I inherited the metalhead genes to some degree.
@@levi_octavian that's awesome hell yah 😎 that's funny you bring up powerman 5000 because I just saw they're playing near me this month lmao. I saw them back in the day for $15 😆 I wanna go again!
I can't help but hold Ministry in reverence for being one of the most dynamic and changing industrial bands which managed to enter the mainstream. THIS is music.
i am 15 years old and when i was in my mothers womb my mother used to blast ministry music right next to her stomach thats why i love ministry so much.
You might be interested in the "Industrial" music subculture of the late 80s and early 90s. Nine Inch Nails "Head like a hole" comes to mind. They experimented with electronic music and heavy metal.
I still crank Ministry in the car.. been a fan since the 90s. Jesus Built My Hotrod, Just One Fix, Lay Lady Lay, Scarecrow, So What....epic fuckin' music🤘🏻. Rock hard or go home 🤘🏻💜
Back in the old days after robbing a few liquor stores I’d blast this and Thieves & Liars while making my getaway. Times have changed. Now I sell commercial property insurance.
This was my introduction to industrial music as a kid. I stayed up late and was watching a bad post apocalypse movie. Opening shot is someone with a grinder on metal with this blasting. I'd never heard anything like it before and was hooked.
Few bands can put out an album like Twitch and then produce a completely different sound like this. Great album, great song, and very good video. Ministry at their height!
I've seen Ministry live 3 times. First in Toronto in '92, then Osaka in '95 & back in Toronto 2 weeks ago. Al absolutely rocked the house every single time. Legend.
misery, insanity, relationship, communication, frustration, dilapidation, desperation, shadow oneself, sapping life's energy, each second more of life only a disastrous gift of torturend terror
Ministry is one of the best industrial/metal bands ever!! I put this song on a "break up" tape back" in the day and my life was never the same again. If there's such a thing as a song having balls well then this is it!!
I've never had so much fun as trippin' on acid in a little club moshing to Ministry live back in the late 80's 90's. Actually did that a couple of times.
this is still good so love it i saw them at lolapalooza in 1992 with pearl jam,sound garden, the red hot chilli peppers and the Jesus and Mary chain in Barry Ontario Canada it was one of the beat shows ever
i went to lollapalooza that year as well, only in Houston, TX in 100° heat. The pit for ministry was enormous, there were people all across the front of the stage with garden hoses, spraying us down so we wouldn't get heat stroke... definitely one of the best shows I've ever attended.
I saw them when they did a few shows at Lollapalooza 93 with Alice in Chains, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, Fish Bone, Arrested Development and others.
Saw them the same year, the day before hurricane Andrew hit Miami. There was a 9 year old in the pit with me. I sometimes wonder how he is, he was a cool kid.
My cat is grooming herself in rhythm to the beat. Hmmm. Also, Andrea Brown, wherever you are, thank you for introducing me to Ministry in high school! 💕
The video shown in Hardware is actually GWAR’s video for Black And Huge. For reasons unknown even today, the director decided that GWAR’s visuals should be accompanied by Ministry audio. The effect was quite powerful, but oh boy did it create a lot of confusion for people who had never heard either band before.
Funny enough, Al and Paul Barker produced Gwar's 'Scumdogs of the Universe', which came out the same year as Hardware. I'm sure that connection has something to do with their appearance in the film.
This is the one that got me into music that was left of the dial...a game changer...and when I saw them at dingy nite club playing this album live...I was forever changed...the way I approached music and listened to it ever since...
For those who don’t know, the distorted sample riff you hear in the chorus is actually a bass guitar run through a heavily saturated distortion amp, and the regular 6-string guitars are used as the back up. Al Jourgensen quite literally made a song that made the bass guitarist the lead guitarist.
That tormented heroin shooter, Al Jourgenson, was one trailblazer and a creative mastermind. I saw this tour in 1988 at the Avalon theater in Milwaukee. Fuckin' crazy.
Man,,,this song takes me so far back....I forgot just how much I love Ministry, Revolting Cocks...and Uncle Al's other projects....I need to write the lyrics down and send them to an ex boyfriend....ha ha ah ha ha ah bah ha,ah,,,,You've ran out of lies!!!!...love the hard drum beat,,,,this is a really good song to boink to....Trust me..
RevCo, Revolting Cocks Ya… how hard up u gotta be to work for some motherfuckers with a name for a group like that, know what I'm talking about? sheeit… named my fave dog RevCo…
I saw Ministry in 92 at Lollapalooza. That day I saw RHCP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Ministry and more. Ministry was the best most insane show by far. They were touring for Psalm 69 and that shit was amazing.
yixxt Why would I be looking for "ex" boyfriends? I'm looking for a new man..But all men LIE!!! So...my next man should be warned...I will do a lot of lying too...ha ha ha..;)
I didn't know what industrial metal was until I saw this aired on MTV out of all places. They used to play this in a secondary room at a techno club. DAMN I MISS THE 90S.
This song was a real game changer for me. I thought heavy music was just noise but this made me realize it could be catchy and fun as well. A real gateway into a whole world of music I didn't even know existed.
I just saw an “inspirational” IG vid about an elementary school principal supporting a bullied kid who shaved his head in solidarity with his grandfather who was going through cancer and chemo - first thing going through my head was the highhat intro from the album version and my mind immediately had all the kids getting their heads shaved and slam dancing…😅
I bought this Ministry CD in college in the 80's after following the band through its more new wave phase. Little did I know what I was in for when I started playing this in the dorm! I only wish the amplifier would have gone to 11. Anyway, I was into the sound immediately and I even liked the colorful out of focus cover art. It wasn't until some months later, to my horror while sitting in bed, that I looked at the cover from a distance and noticed that it was actually some sort of rotting human skull! Nicely played Mr. Jourgensen!
I could have written this post!! Except I was a fresman in high school when this came out. "With Sympathy" and "Twitch" did not prepare us for the opening seconds of the Land of Rape and Honey album -- omgggg it blew my freaking MIND. And that's the moment that I realized, I didn't want to be normal, ever.
I know I can see elements of what they were gravitating towards even in that polished pop album. I love I’m Not an Effigy and Revenge. The ones with the background singers I’m mot too excited about lol.
First time I heard this was in Richard Stanley's movie Hardware. They had Stigmata playing while Gwar were on the TV screen. 2 great bands for the price of one.
I REMEMBER PLAYING TONY HAWK AND HEARING THIS SONG....HAVENT HEARD THIS SONG IN A LONNNNGGGG TTTIIIIIMMMMEEE LOOK IN MY EYES AND TELL ME ITS NOT ON A TONY HAWK GAME!!!
