I also remember this. In fact i recorded it on vhs. I was a huge headbangers ball fan and Ministry was my favorite band then. Jorgensen made a point about how a genre is made after the fact. Hes the first person ive heard that dismissed fame,genres and playing live shows. Thier background of sampling, synths and incorporating guitars was incredible at the time.
@Kimmy Jimmel Obviously it's not about who was around first. I mean Laibach's early stuff like The State or Die Liebe were probably huge influences on Rammstein.
@@darinaadland5226 yeah that show happened it was in Sioux falls. It was a great show. I'm not the biggest Primus fan so I took a bit of a break during their set. But Ministry and Slayer were great and Phil Anselmo tried but he just doesn't sound the same anymore.
Al helped me while machining stuff at work with my walkman (remember those?) When I was done for the day I was cross-eyed & felt nothing which was better than what my brain chucking at me that morning.
I was 18. There was a fucking mosh pit in Cleveland at lolapaloosa 92 with Ministry, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. Back to back to back. It was intense. I've been in probably 20 or so pits and they were hauling. tons of people away in ambulances. I'm just glad I was 6'2 and 220. I was having a hard time breathing and had to use people's shoulders to get some fresh air. Then crowd surfed over the barrier where the security would keep you from cracking your skull. Then they just let you run out and back in the crowd. Its gotta be on film.
92' solidified my love for Ministry, after loving them since their mid-80's and their coolest of alt dance stuff, Mind followed by Psalm 69, was just total WOW. But SO much stuff I missed from them interview-wise. How I wish I saw all of it then. I basically got my news from the Alternative music mag, and Alternative Nation or 120 minutes on Mtv, Sunday nights I think, I worked the rest of the week, so was the only thing I caught. Made it more exciting when you found stuff I suppose, compared to today haahaa
What do you think about his assertion that the "industrial" moniker was coined by record labels - considering it had been used since the late 70s(?) by Monte Cazazza and Throbbing Gristle? Is it any different from the Dadaists naming their own fledgling scene? Did they intend to market a product, were they aiming to become cohesive, or both?
Well, to be fair the genre is more or less named after Industrial Records, so he's not wrong. I've seen Skinny Puppy, Current 93, and Ramleh all called industrial, but their sounds barely have anything in common. At the end of the day, all genres are just marketing.
It’s great to see Al navigate through an interview with the biggest mistake headbangers ball ever made... correction, second biggest (forgot thankfully about adam curry)
@@adrianaguilar6347 actually, we had a pig roast with a whole pig and brought it out with the hat on the pig's head - everyone laughed. Then we ate it.
well, for starters, his who line about industrial as a label for music being made up by "the powers that be to sell records," when it was actually made by throbbing gristle way before ministry was spinning cold life ep.
+chris piss hmmm, what else, after the 'starters'? im sincerely interested to know and understand different takes on all matters related to industrial music, especially pertaining to different generations and what goes on in their heads that gives them the rights to tear down a artists honest to goodness answers to basically irrelivant questions. I give alot of respect to any artist who do not cower at any question thrown at them about their opinion despite knowing at least one faction of their multi-decade & muliti-generational fanbase is going to hurl hatred at them in a malicious manner for simply evolving and explaining themseles..
+Thats not funny >>I want to understand what it is that a critic would say or do differently when put in the position of the artist they are evaluating, you know? Enlighten me when u have the time
What a pirate this man has been. Magic times. The late 80s early 90s were truly special and the last great years for rock n roll. Rock n roll is not dead but it definitely doesn’t have the relevance that it once had. Hip hop took that over.
Yeah depends on the person. Makes me very social and friendly. You can tell he is high too because of that low rasp we all know. That’s why he sounds similar to Cobain and Staley.
People don't really sit down and read books much any more. No, but, people do still read. They read wikipedia pages, they read news articles, they read youtube comments, they read message boards, chat rooms, and text messages. Also, there are some people who do still actually read books. I happen to be more of a fan of audio books myself. They're the perfect companion for a long bike ride. You can't do that with an old fashioned book, now can you?
Funny hearing about how Ministry’s record label gave Al all this money to come up with their next album (Psalm 69) and they just spent it all on drugs 😅. They got a brilliant LP out of it though.
Is it just me or is it that when Al is wearing his Chicago cop outfit and talking he looks and sounds younger than he actually is in the video or picture like he's a kid and in his early 20s. In this video, he looks and sounds like a hispanic (Cuban or Mexican) 22-25 year old that just grew a goatee being interviewed. When he's wearing his cowboy hat and has a full goatee he looks and sounds like a middle aged cowboy that does music as a side job than having a ranch and a family which is his most iconic look.
Can you imagine if Al had released essentially a "Psalms 2.0" while riding that level of popularity (instead of Filth Pig)?! I'm so glad that he didn't.
MTV used to be iconic and just awesome...Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes, Beavis & Butthead, etc. But now? How does a network waddle in the puddle of shit and suckness for so many years and still stay in business. Who the fuck watches MTV today? Seriously.
Headbangers Ball, maybe the best Mtv show, but the Same company decide to kill it and put a reality about stupid but beautiful people, we are fucked up!!!!

I was 16 and had seen them live twice by this time. Good times.
Trent Reznor owes Al money. Rob Zombie owes Al a LOT of money. I'm sure there are more.
Pirates of the carribean. Johnny Depp.
Trent repaid Al with deep throating.
kermunklin paul barker owns him the most, along with their managers in the 90s
Have you ever listened to Einsturzende Neubauten? Check out their early stuff
@Kimmy Jimmel Obviously it's not about who was around first. I mean Laibach's early stuff like The State or Die Liebe were probably huge influences on Rammstein.
Old MTV is really all i've been watching lately.
You mean MTV? 😏
Aw the days!!! Miss those days so much!!
Fuckin' A.
Al's reaction to Neil Young backstage *GAAAAAAASP!* I KNOW!
I love the idea of the godfather of grunge hanging out at a Ministry show
I remember when this originally aired and i happened to catch it....Uncle Al is quite the rambunctious character!!
Ministry is awesome:)
Al for President
Twilight Symphony 2 years later and he likes antifa...
I miss "Headbanger's Ball"
Al always gave great interview responses. 🤣🤠🤘
I wish I'd been 23 in 1992.
I was.
BUSTRCHERRI Was it any good? Or was it as painfully futile as all of life?
i was 23 in 92, father of one. And am now 48 and still the father of one
i was 18 but i was in Australia no Ministry live till 95
I was 18.
I am seeing Ministry in November 2019 in S. Dakota last saw them in 92. I hope Al lives that long.' .
Did that show ever happen? I'm from South Dakota also and never heard that they were playing Sioux Falls or Fargo?
@@darinaadland5226 yeah that show happened it was in Sioux falls. It was a great show. I'm not the biggest Primus fan so I took a bit of a break during their set. But Ministry and Slayer were great and Phil Anselmo tried but he just doesn't sound the same anymore.

That was every show on that tour
@@superserial1 100% Houston was BRUTAL. One kid broke his neck and Al pointed at him laughing as they hauled him away.
thanks for the upload

Spotweldin' with Al.
For the life of me I'll never truly understand why Al hates playing live. I've heard his excuses but they seem retty shallow.
Think he just prefers the studio creating music. Not the touring and travelling part.
Introvert.
Al dropping knowledge at 4:30

90's - swan song years for metal music
As bitter and cynical as it may sound, its true there's been very few decent Metal bands that have come out since 2000's.
Lowkey Lyesmith Spinal Tap...Big Bottom!
my personal hero(dont listen to in rehab!)
It’s great to see Al navigate through an interview with the biggest mistake headbangers ball ever made... correction, second biggest (forgot thankfully about adam curry)
What’s the ministry song featured in this vid or the major song that came out from this around his time
So what, which is on the mind album is also on there
Either NWO or Just One Fix
I had an old Chicago police hat that looked just like that.
just like you
@@adrianaguilar6347 for a dude with a bauhaus logo, you shure ain't no peter murphy
@@adrianaguilar6347 actually, we had a pig roast with a whole pig and brought it out with the hat on the pig's head - everyone laughed. Then we ate it.
@@JSTNtheWZRD ;)
i remember seeing this when it was on tv. there are so many things wrong with his take on labels and industrial music.
+chris piss like what? Whats your wisdom?
well, for starters, his who line about industrial as a label for music being made up by "the powers that be to sell records," when it was actually made by throbbing gristle way before ministry was spinning cold life ep.

1992 was another great year for Death Metal too
How he pulled off being friendly and being a junkie makes no sense to me. I used to dance and I was super bummed at everyone, just wanted to nod off.
+sweet hair yerp
Yeah depends on the person. Makes me very social and friendly. You can tell he is high too because of that low rasp we all know. That’s why he sounds similar to Cobain and Staley.
ha, 5:55 Al riffing on Country Legends stories, fast forward to 2018 Mike Judge's 'Tales on the Tour Bus' Country Legends Edition.
No such thing as "industrial music"? Ask Throbbing Gristle? Yes, there was such a thing as "industrial music," however, it was widely misunderstood.
Labels are for soup cans
"you'll read about it" people don't read anymore lol
People don't really sit down and read books much any more. No, but, people do still read. They read wikipedia pages, they read news articles, they read youtube comments, they read message boards, chat rooms, and text messages. Also, there are some people who do still actually read books.

He talks about the old timers setting the standards for rock n roll behaviour in the beginning of the video....now this interview is the "old timers"
I can't believe that MTV actually used to be like this.
Its going to end just like Cartoon Network.
That guy playing that accordion is long dead by now.
Science. Life. Facts.
Peak Uncle Al
Funny hearing about how Ministry’s record label gave Al all this money to come up with their next album (Psalm 69) and they just spent it all on drugs 😅.
They got a brilliant LP out of it though.
the year ministry peaked lol

I'm so glad that he didn't.
Al refers to playing " pedal steele "... someone tellme plz what does this mean
The guy on the left in this is playing pedal steel guitar...
th-cam.com/video/2rwfqsjimRM/w-d-xo.html
a lot of people hate playing live oh well
reminds me of kevin key here
MTV used to be iconic and just awesome...Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes, Beavis & Butthead, etc. But now? How does a network waddle in the puddle of shit and suckness for so many years and still stay in business. Who the fuck watches MTV today? Seriously.
Always hated riki
Headbangers Ball, maybe the best Mtv show, but the Same company decide to kill it and put a reality about stupid but beautiful people, we are fucked up!!!!
U.K Police hat 😄
actually chicago police hat
Chicago for sure.
lol jews!
I hate them!
besides all that i am disappointed on what al jourgensen did after his new wave days his music after that sucked and sounded typical
Twitch is a good album.
So much for industrial metal being a trend that would go away in time.
