If Al adopted this approach for a future album-catchy synth leads like ‘With Sympathy,’ heavy guitars, and his incredibly on point clean vocals-he’d have his most successful album in 30 years. I can’t get over how amazing his voice is. Uncle Al, it doesn’t suck. It’s incredible. Do more of this.
Should be. Apparently it was factory produced and written by the industry big wigs to appeal to the maInstream. They pretty much only used Al as a face to advertise it. This is why he's hated it for 40 years and is remaking what he can to reclaim the music as his own once more.
I was living on Long Island back then and I NEVER got to see them play for as many times as they came out that way. Lucky you! 😎👍 That music was all over WLIR/WDRE and in all the great clubs. I'll never forget those days.
Thank you for posting! This is incredible. A round of applause to Uncle Al’s current band mates, his daughter, the “With Sympathy” cover band and countless others who encouraged him to revisit his early work.
Al said hes going to be retiring Ministry soon, but wants to remake some of his old synth stuff from With Sympathy ❤. A huge gift to his original fans who have been with him on his musical journey since 1981. Hes coming full circle to retire Ministry. Love love love Al jourgenson. ❤
I'm glad I got to see this live, it was great. On the way to the show, I played this song for the boys. Told them it was a great song but that they wouldn't play it live. I was very fortunately wrong.
Had the privilege to be there for this! My grandpa listened to them as a youngin. Getting to see this at my first concert at 21 was the best experience ever! This was my favorite song they played!
My mind is blown. I would have never believed in a million years that I would be seeing this. And of course it’s Ministry so its good. I’m really enjoying this because I love the old school ministry. Al still hittin those signing notes like he was 21 again. You did it again, (and again) Al! ✌️ Bravo 👏 👏
I am literally in tears seeing and hearing this... I have loved this song for 41yrs .. I REALLLLY hope they play this in Milwaukee this summer, cuz I already have my tickets!!!
Huge With Sympathy fan here,and hearing this making me teary. Funny though my introduction to Ministry was Psalm 69,and when I first saw WS in the stores I didn't think it was the same band. Until I saw the pic of Al in the album,and then when I heard it totally blew me away. Thought he would never play this again lol Hope they get this back in the setlist.I would seriously consider seeing them in concert just to hear some With Sympathy songs. ❤
When I saw that this was on the set for the tour I didn't believe it, but now I do and I cant believe I have to miss my towns date because Id love to see this live
I just saw an interview with Al about how he has made peace with although not entirely with "with Sympathy" and that he is planning on re-recording a handful of songs off of it including "Revenge" of course.
This is still one of my favorite if not my favorite from them. It’s definitely interesting to how he plays it now. I definitely need to go see them play again
So bad ass. This is what Ministry needs to return to. The noisy ferocity of the records from ‘92 onwards were great industrial metal but having a contrast of synthy pop is a necessary palate cleanse that shows the width of Ministry.
This is GREAT! Was afraid Uncle Al & Co. were going to take a nu-metal shit on this classic, but they amped it up 10 notches and now its..A STONE CLASSIC! Watch these new versions be mega influential in years to come.
I’m guessing it is an unusually chilly day in heck now and I think I just saw a pig fly overhead but this sounds great as expected! 🔥🖤. I’ll look forward to hearing more! 😎
He wrote all of the songs on “With Sympathy” with a little help from his former band mates (Stevo, Rob, etc.) “She’s Got A Cause” was performed at their very first gig in Chicago on NYE 1981.
Sheesh, I don’t even know what to say. What a gift! I feel like my life is actually a little more complete now. Can’t wait to hear what Al does with Effigy and Work for Love. With Sympathy is absolutely brilliant and one of the best records of the 80s 🤚🏻🥀
yea I love the old With Sympathy stuff, he said in an interview once in the 1980s to burn that record, but look at him here performing the hit single. Well done. I love it.
If anyone has not seen the interview with Uncle Al on Yahoo Entertainment, you should. He talks about his early days in Chicago and how he "sold out": to Clive Davis before he started. Really must see for any Ministry fan.
Hallelujah! I can't believe he delivered on his promise! In that interview I was so surprised to see him discussing With Sympathy in such a chill way that when he stated " we're gonna redo Revenge and play it again " I thought Al was just teasing us. I'm also a bit disappointed though, because he said "it's still gonna sound like a pop song" and somehow I was not expecting it to turn out like this.

Yes!!!!
FACTS!
Lotta texturing on the vocals.
I'm pretty sure that's the plan. It won't be new material, but at least an EP's worth of pre-Twitch material recorded as stadium rock.
No lies detected
It's ok to admit With Sympathy is 1 of the greatest albums of the 80s...
Yes!!

Word.
Even in 2024 - I listen to a few songs. I played it constantly back in the 80s..
Wow… this is just nuts. After all this time, never thought I’d see the day. Would have loved to have been there for this.
Me too yo
Now THIS is Ministry!! Glad he found it in him to play this banger.
I just died! Wow amazing he has no clue how amazing this is for a lot of people 🖤🖤
3:16 - you know the song is fucking bop when even the security guard is feeling the music like that lol
Was lucky to see the band play "Revenge" live on Oct 12, 1984 at the Ritz in NYC!!!
You're a legend! 😮
I was living on Long Island back then and I NEVER got to see them play for as many times as they came out that way. Lucky you! 😎👍
That music was all over WLIR/WDRE and in all the great clubs. I'll never forget those days.
Love Ministry's early synth days. Do more of this Al.. more!!
Ministry's best stuff! Glad to see Al is embracing it a little more.
He has a lot of best stuff
Thank you for posting! This is incredible. A round of applause to Uncle Al’s current band mates, his daughter, the “With Sympathy” cover band and countless others who encouraged him to revisit his early work.
FINALLY!!!!!! And I hear a synth - YES!!!!! WOW
Al said hes going to be retiring Ministry soon, but wants to remake some of his old synth stuff from With Sympathy ❤. A huge gift to his original fans who have been with him on his musical journey since 1981. Hes coming full circle to retire Ministry. Love love love Al jourgenson. ❤
I hold out hope that he and Paul will share a stage one last time.
I'm glad I got to see this live, it was great. On the way to the show, I played this song for the boys. Told them it was a great song but that they wouldn't play it live. I was very fortunately wrong.
I was supposed to take my son, but I wasn’t gonna deal with the heat. I now regret it.
I figured he was going to make the song really heavy with the melody almost being unintelligible, I was completely wrong
Had the privilege to be there for this! My grandpa listened to them as a youngin. Getting to see this at my first concert at 21 was the best experience ever! This was my favorite song they played!
Come to brazil one last time with this set please
That was freaking epic!
I would love to hear them play I'm Falling and Same Old Madness!
Those are awesome songs.
SOM has one of the best drum performances in any "new wave" song, and I'd put the drumming up there against nearly any song from the 80s.
@@aliwantizuThe synths are pretty good too!
This!!! ❤❤❤

If he rerecords nature of love and same old madness i can die. This is amazing
SAME OLD MADNESS!!! YES!!!
Saw them play it live when with Sympathy came out originally. Excellent then and now. Love the refresh.
We need a full abum now. I love the direction they took it.
I'm legit crying right now! So good! Thanks for the share!
I am literally in tears seeing and hearing this... I have loved this song for 41yrs .. I REALLLLY hope they play this in Milwaukee this summer, cuz I already have my tickets!!!
Hell has officially frozen over.
It’s sounds great he should remix his old hits
Hahaha the security guy is clearly a With Sympathy fan too
He'll fuckin yeah Uncle AL, same old madness!! Let's hear it!
I wish so badly they played this when I saw them recently in Montreal!
Did they play any With Sympathy tracks?
Wow! That sounded fantastic. More of this, please!
Beautiful. So happy that Al has come around to the art that we have as fans always loved. After all these years he nailed that song!❤❤❤
I figured he was going to make the song really heavy with the melody almost being unintelligible, I was completely wrong
I thought I would sooner see the second coming of Christ than Al playing this song live again. Absolutely amazing!
lulz SAME!

Even in the 80s I always thought this was a metal song in disguise.
I can't wait for the remakes of these old songs to come out.
Seeing them in 3 weeks. I hope they play this!
Did they?
The safest song for these cool guys to play off their best album. I’d love to see She’s Got a Cause
Yeah. Me too.
One of my favorite songs ever
Glorious.
Holyshit!.. well... better late than never!
I was shocked when this happened! I love it!
This slays. With the heavy guitars. Awesome.
Holy cow! They’re gonna be playing With Sympathy at Cruel World Fest!
Thank the gods this rocks... look how happy the keyboard guy is.
Gotta love where he took it
Please play this is Canada in March 🫶🙏
Finally!
@3:14 even the security guard thinks Al remaking With Sympathy is a great idea. Lol!
This sounds really fucking good actually. Incredible to hear him doing this song again. Love With Sympathy.
🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏 thanks Al Jürgensen
He's even doing the English accent!!!
When I saw that this was on the set for the tour I didn't believe it, but now I do and I cant believe I have to miss my towns date because Id love to see this live
Sorry to hear about that! I bet there will be even more old/new jams live in the near future😊
and it sounds nice!!
I just saw an interview with Al about how he has made peace with although not entirely with "with Sympathy" and that he is planning on re-recording a handful of songs off of it including "Revenge" of course.

Man, when he suggested capping his time with Ministry by revisiting With Sympathy, I never in a million years thought he would actually do it.
This is beautiful!!! Sounds like a Type O’ Negative song❤️❤️❤️
Amazing
FUCKING AWESOME ❤
YAAAAAAY!!!! 🎉
🔥🖤🎶🎶🎵❤️🔥
Seems he does have time for what we feel ...
😂
I heard a rumor that Uncle Al is considering rerecording with sympathy. After hearing this track I am actually not doubting that may happen
The original article on it was rerecording this along with Effigy, Work for Love and Here We Go. Only doing the songs he wrote himself
@@hatcherp1393he wrote the best songs on that album 🤷♀️
No, dont rerecord!!
He wrote all of the songs on “With Sympathy” with a little help from his former band mates (Stevo, Rob, etc.)
“She’s Got A Cause” was performed at their very first gig in Chicago on NYE 1981.
They covered Every day is Halloween recently too. Another banger
Sheesh, I don’t even know what to say. What a gift! I feel like my life is actually a little more complete now. Can’t wait to hear what Al does with Effigy and Work for Love. With Sympathy is absolutely brilliant and one of the best records of the 80s 🤚🏻🥀

We need this and work for love worldwide

Damn, kick ass, now bring back some Twitch as well!!
He said he will do some twitch songs as well
After 40 years.... FULL CIRCLE!!!
Never thought I'd see this. Sounds great!!
Hooooooly sh!t,.....he did it. As promised. I thought ' he would've done it in a metal way, like Everyday is Halloween ' but he did it. Awesome 👍
❤
Sounds great, now he needs to play some stuff off of Twitch
Yeah idk why he hasn't. Because from what I remember he enjoyed majority of the songs on twitch.
Hallelujah! I can't believe he delivered on his promise!
In that interview I was so surprised to see him discussing With Sympathy in such a chill way that when he stated " we're gonna redo Revenge and play it again " I thought Al was just teasing us.
I'm also a bit disappointed though, because he said "it's still gonna sound like a pop song" and somehow I was not expecting it to turn out like this.
nice evolution from the original song
You can hear the young al in his voice from the studio version.
Masterpiece
That was actually really good
Amazing. I can't wait for the new album and tour. Revenge really does work as a hard rock song. Looking forward to how the other remakes turn out.
This is awesome
Love seeing this. Al should just own all of Ministry. Beginning to present. It’s all good stuff.
WHAT??!!! Ministry is playing From Sympathy again??? AL HAS COME FULL CIRCLE
Good ol Uncle Al came to his senses
Badass
Wow, I never thought I would see Al do this music again
Al fin! El Alien se digna de hacer en vivo un tremendo tema de la primera época cómo es Revenge.👏👏👏
Ahhh the good old ministry...finally!
I've always loved this song, I don't care how much he hated it. This was my fetus song. Thanks dad!
The greatest Ministry song ever recorded. Just my opinion...
Its just good
but where is the corridor... yes the corridor? Anyway, I dare say Al looks to be in fantastic physical shape
Love this!!🖤 I hope he remakes Same old madness too!!
And I didn't go to this show... regret doesn't even begin to describe it... dammit.
Aww be sure to catch him next time, it’ll probably be even groovier!
demais esse som
Controversial. But yes, I like this better. It rocks.
The old stuff is the best
