Make Ministry synth-pop again!

[@AnnexIptaru]

A harder-edged remake of With Sympathy would be one of the albums of the century.

[@K-StateScottFL]

New Wave making a comeback to mainstream!

This is just so... unbelievable! Finally, Uncle Al gives his earlier work the recognition it deserves. Incredible. Check out that funky choonage.

[@ixatv8913]

So glad this happened, I was searching trying to see if I could find a post-industrial Ministry performing this song live. I'm glad he is now! It will be a big hit again!

L🖤VE !!

[@foxyforest4550]

I hope one time they'll also play I Wanted To Tell Her. With this backing vocalists it could be very close version to 1983-84 live versions

[@kevinhunter3412]

WiW ! Shocked Uncle All played the old original stuff I also Love !? Thanx A lot for this !!!

[@KontrolStyle]

[@RemixReprise]

Work for love gets the 12 inch singles treatment

[@jiggrinder]

Wow

[@frankhajdu6839]

What an absolute fucking joy. Turns out happy Al is pretty damn good Al.

[@crazyguy143421]

Work for love? What does he think this is? 1984? Jk, this is a wonderful surprise ❤️😭

[@gestell]

When he recorded this he went by Alain and wore parachute pants fyi.

[@MetalskiMetalski]

😮😮😮

[@christopherperez1982]

Rad

[@AnnLippert1]

is it weird that the ladies playing on stage were probably not even BORN in 1984?

[@BruceBowman42]

Awesome and Dave Navarro makes it even more awesome.

[@morganstanley6655]

Think, this enter and mix with NWO on the same time....killer!

[@user-ks8rx9dg8v]

There's no nwo

[@taintedlife2618]

I see they still dead dreadful projections instead of just making it easier for everyone to see if they were far away.
