Ogre was with Ministry for 2 tours and I was fortunate enough to catch their performance on both outings

[@JKParmer]

R.I.P. Jeff Ward. He was such a kind soul when I met him during this tour. He was definitely the most mellow guy in the band at the time.

[@ALCPEREZ]

I was 12 years when I got this album. I fucking loved it, Had to hide it from my parents. Good times.

[@unclebeardo]

same! ministry was my first introduction to the world of heavier music. I haven't looked back since.

[@jimreynolds6929]

This concert is fucking unreal. Every song!;

[@falion13]

[@SacRaFiX24]

Wow,,it is incredible what drugs did to him ..compared to the 84 tour it is such a change..Most people don’t even know the with sympathy stuff exists...What a band all around.. And what a soul Al is for surviving ??? Well?? Basically his own life..Guy was a fuckin beast with the drugs ...

This is the point in history where Ministry transitioned from a synth/drum machine driven band to a metal band.

[@zlatkoigric5084]

synth/drum machine industrial metal gang/band of halber-mensch. gotta love 'em,unique bastards

[@user-wv6dv1yz3f]

This song existed back in 1982.

[@user-lj8re7zd4w]

Yes, it was exist back in 1982

[@j_freed]

Al back then looks like a Hispanic version of Prince.

[@TheDeepgreensea13]

Ogre on guitar, wow!

[@williamhollaway1960]

You know ogres gtr isn't coming through PA right? That's all al and bill doing gtr playing

[@j_freed]

William Hollaway my guess was he's just playing that repetitive high register stuff that sounds like a keyboard part. Not the main riff...

[@borjonx]

ty

[@gordondisley9243]

I was at this show. Ogres' guitar wasn't actually plugged into anything. He was fucked out of his skull.

[@sizigi13music]

wow

[@vinyl6668]

Jourgensen had a Charlie Manson look goin for him

[@THEBANDIT7979]

Historic

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

Who’s the drummer for this tour?

[@UCNXonline]

Jeff Ward, I believe.

[@dogman-fx9ub]

Jeff Ward drummer of Lard RIP

[@kevinhumphries9305]

Absolutely boring compared to skinny puppy.

[@drblackout7]

Ogre looks like he's having a good time....

[@dogman-fx9ub]

Lol yeah right. If you're the kind of snobbish person obsessed with melody and constant technical showcasing then yeah this music isn't for you but if you're willing to let yourself go and have a good time this music is so primal and fun. Way more interesting than the catch all a million riffs a second technical virtuosos.
