    I remember being in 8th Grade and hearing my brother playing Jesus built my hotrod? It literally Gave me a adrenaline rush. Ministry soon became part of my warm up soundtrack before Wrestling matches. Between Slayer, Ministry, black flag and Minor threat I was amped when I stepped of the mat. Thanks Ministry for state championships, speeding tickets and party Anthems.
