I love how Al tries to be a badass rockstar at the start of the video then by end he's his regular softy charming self even polite and everything. Ahhh why wasn't he all over my MTV in the 90s. I remember interviews with him were pretty rare.

Saw them on Mind tour... then saw them on Lollapalooza tour 2 years later. They had peaked. They were so tight, and blew the Chilis off the stage. Ice Cube, Jesus & Mary Chain, Soundgarden (when they were good), Pearl Jam, Ministry (who should have been the headliners) and the Chili Peppers... all for about $30.

Al Jourgensen is a special kind of man. Thanks to him and his contribution to humanity. Seems like a fella with decent values. I say this 100% free of any kind of irony.
The best Ministry show I attended was 1999 in Detroit at the State Theatre. Al was at his best and they sounded amazing. He came out wearing his leather trench and spun around and around and around and around and around......
That Lollapalooza was awesome - Ministry was so friggn loud - I was right in front of the speakers - I had to tear a dollar Bill in half and roll them up and stuff them in my ears.
Check out "Sphinctour" which was recorded at the same time as "Fix".. Pretty Fucking Amazing! Among the best Live Performances ever! The Live Videos are incredible, you can´t deny that..
I remember it did not seem like the "Psalm 69" album was ever going to be released. It was a long wait from when "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" came out in fall 1991 till July 1992 when "Psalm" came out.
He looks like he wandered into a foundry and had a massive accident with plunging his face into a giant pile of scrap metal. Looks really fucking stupid now.
well thats just downright crazy. ive been a fan of ministry since i was 17. that was in 96 . ive heard every album yet ive never heard his actual voice. i figured he had an accent or something. that just blows my mind its kinda like dani filth from cradle of filth you think he has a crazy accent but nope and dani is actually polite too its a crazy world
Yeah. Al's wife put it well in that book by saying that Al hates Paul NOW, but used to love him. And since Al's personality is the way it is, he makes it sound now like he has always hated Paul (which is bullshit)
I remember Al talking about this. He said Dave showed up drunk as a skunk. falling down on the instruments. Al told him to get lost. Dave then played the "do you know who i am? card. He never played them on his show again.
That's false, 120 Minutes continued to play the following Psalm 69 videos. Kendall was an avid fan and supporter of wax trax and Industrial music in general rumble.com/v44mdbu-mtvs-120-minutes-presents-the-alternative-year-in-rock-1992.html
Define ages? Heroin free, maybe.. He has Medical Marijuana and still drinks wine, just check the videos they recorded while making "Relapse" here on TH-cam!
Everytime I see Al Jorgensen I can't get the image of him standing over Miss Australia 1971 in a speedo with Mark Lanegan angrily wrapping a telephone cord around his neck out of my head. God I miss the 90's.
Agreed Rookta.. Filth Pig is still my least favorite, way more then With Sympathy. The tours for that and Darkside Of The Spoon are not there best performances.
Do you play/have you ever gigged? Cuz I don't find that period was that great at all.... Those shows were good, at times, but not consistent and he was a fekking mess. That's why that dvd is not a single concert but had to be assembled from a TON of shows: He/they were too fukt to play a solid, killer, end to end show.
I WOULD go out and buy their albums, but i wouldn't want to corrupt them with my dirty, greedy, capitalist money. I know AL is very against that. I guess i will have to suffer until they put their repertoire out for free.
Allister Crowleys "book of lies" is just that. Psalm 69 was great and the Misnistry was the best act at lollapalooza 2, but the title was greek. Love your music Al, but stick with the music and leave theology to tge theologians. Allister meh
this is almost surreal to me. I do a lot of historical digging in terms of old books, old history, from all sorts of years, and of course I watch old movies like anyone else. Yet there's something so odd and old looking about an MTV interview broadcast from 1992 like this versus , say, the film Scarface, which was made years and years bfore. This literally seems so old to me i n comparison to Scarface. Isn't it weird? Not only that buti t also just seems plain sad because its literally dripping with , well, nostalgia. and of course the lo quality of the broadcast itself. So weird looking. And to think at that time everyone thought this was the most high quality tv. I think my strong emotions to this are because MTV culture is so devoted to youth and , since youth winds up forgotten by most of us (none of my townie friends here seem to remember the old bands we heard in early 00s like I do) , so too do these clips generalyl wind up utterly forgotten and thrown into some alternate universe that, you can see, only a few of us come to discover, and mostly just the people who were in fact there. Not 'time travelers' like melol. Watching something like this is almost like, I dnno, invading someones private teenage/ early 20s memories, and almost feels wrong to me. Its almost like everything else in our culture is u pfor grabs, but the bands of each generation, *especially* the ones who are sort of underground like Ministry, they belong to that one generation alone, to cherish privately etc.. Hard to explain. But this just makes me so sad lol. Its like watching a bunch of ghosts, a paranormal film or something and they're just like "hey! what are you doing here! these memories aren't for you, they're for the past alone.."
this is probably recorded from the tv to a VHS and ripped to a dvd and ripped to the computer. so the quality will suffer. if mtv published this on youtube it probably would have been at least 480 p with good quality
It didn't actually look like that on TVs in the 90's, it looked decent, but the quality of VHS degrade over time. It feels older than scarface because the quality is so bad, which makes it seem like the 20's. Lol
So is this your generation? I’ve seen Ministry probably four times, the last was at the Lollapalooza tour in ‘92. Saw his other band Revolting Cocks a couple of times too.
I love how Al tries to be a badass rockstar at the start of the video then by end he's his regular softy charming self even polite and everything. Ahhh why wasn't he all over my MTV in the 90s. I remember interviews with him were pretty rare.
Not sure. His music wouldn't appeal to the masses due to the intensely adult material.
He was a liability with all his drugs probably
@@RDnAC Yea, good thing Nirvana and Alice n chains didn't do drugs. Got them a lot more air time.

@@williamssyringae989 You couldn’t tell I was being sarcastic? I was laying it on pretty thick.

Pure genius. Untouchable.
He’s so intimidating on stage and then he’s such a dork in the interview and I love him
My favorite look of Al’s!
My favourite look is the Land of Rape and Honey look when he had the beard and the helmet
I’m partial to the RevCo 1987 look. Streamlined and all about the musical ideas.
everytime I see old clips of Al I'm reminded of Gary Oldman's character in True Romance
Charlie Browns
I guess it’s white boy day.
It’s pretty clear watching these old Ministry interviews who Jack Sparrow was based on and I think it’s only fractionally Keith Richards.
Jello Biafra said the same.
Keith Richards more in the mannerisms and the way he talks, not the image.
@@gasmaskboi19371945 on the sphincTour DVD it’s he’s got a lot pirate swagger on stage. Trent Reznor even said when first seeing them they look like a crew of pirates
First concert ever was Jan 5th 1990, Ministry and KMFDM. It was unreal. I saw the Lollapalooza tour as well and Ministry blew everyone off the stage.
100%
Al Jourgensen is a special kind of man. Thanks to him and his contribution to humanity. Seems like a fella with decent values. I say this 100% free of any kind of irony.
I miss the 90s

Al was so handsome!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thanks man this is priceless footage!!
Always grateful for the time and energy
That Lollapalooza was awesome - Ministry was so friggn loud - I was right in front of the speakers - I had to tear a dollar Bill in half and roll them up and stuff them in my ears.
No lie! My hearing never recovered from the Bremerton, Washington Lollapalooza gig.
Check out "Sphinctour" which was recorded at the same time as "Fix"..
Pretty Fucking Amazing! Among the best Live Performances ever!
The Live Videos are incredible, you can´t deny that..
Look for Al on the Donahue show from WAY back around the With Sympathy era...you will be blown away
I remember it did not seem like the "Psalm 69" album was ever going to be released. It was a long wait from when "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" came out in fall 1991 till July 1992 when "Psalm" came out.
Thanks for the upload.
Today's Al is like a completely different person, still talented asf tho.
How is he different now?
@@rsohlich1 lol no response, he seems the same actually, just young
Funny , I used to record that show and stilla have this VHS ... and attended tha now famous 1992 tour with Helmet and Sepultura
I saw that tour too
MrToddling me too Chicago
UIC Pavilion, I was deaf for 3 days after. But I thought it was Ministry, Helmet, and Tool?
brother Al is giving me flashbacks.
Al Jourgensen used to be pretty handsome, but now... That's a different story.
He looks like he wandered into a foundry and had a massive accident with plunging his face into a giant pile of scrap metal. Looks really fucking stupid now.
The Book Club stole his youth with their evil Black Magic powers!
Drugs.
God forbid you'd look good at almost 60 after years of substance abuse
so he abused drugs in his mother's uterus?
hard to believe when Ministry first started out they were all synth
Rich Maz it’s a bit weird yes.
I hope they go back to synth pop again
No. Not really. Try Special Affect, pre-disco Ministry.
It sounds like two seperate bands lmfaoo
I heard Minstry’s song “Revenge” a few years earlier and refused to believe it was the same band that recorded “Stigmata”.
She read it in Jourgensen's book. It's entertaining, but if you believe even half of it, you're crazier than Al.
I just want the stag story to be true.
well thats just downright crazy. ive been a fan of ministry since i was 17. that was in 96 . ive heard every album yet ive never heard his actual voice. i figured he had an accent or something. that just blows my mind its kinda like dani filth from cradle of filth you think he has a crazy accent but nope and dani is actually polite too its a crazy world
You read the book!
I like him , hes fun 😌😊
Look for the Interview of Al on Headbangers Ball
The most exciting thing I did in the summer of 1992 was slid across a paved street. On my face. :C
Yeah. Al's wife put it well in that book by saying that Al hates Paul NOW, but used to love him. And since Al's personality is the way it is, he makes it sound now like he has always hated Paul (which is bullshit)
It’s a bummer he did drugs so much he was a pretty handsome dude in the 80’s and early 90’s.
I guess you don't own or haven't heard their first CD; With Sympathy.
I remember Al talking about this. He said Dave showed up drunk as a skunk. falling down on the instruments. Al told him to get lost. Dave then played the "do you know who i am? card. He never played them on his show again.

It's Greek not ancient Arabic
el Flaco 66 You only realize it's ancient Arabic when you're high 😜
el Flaco 66 I think it would be Aramaic.
"ΚΕΦΑΛΗ" ARE GREEK CHARACTERS AL!
I wonder how they got permission to use the full metal jacket soundbytes
Chapter 69:'Nuff Said
Does anyone know the name of the song at 2:28?
Harley Conklin Psalm 69
Oh, that must be why he played tonsil hockey with Paul on camera. Makes perfect sense.
Notice he uses english slang around english interviewers (Naff?)...
I think he used to live in London at one time….
...because fuckin al said we'd love it :)
Glad they ditched the 'out with the old' approach, as evidenced by them playing Stigmata from the Spinctour footage.
Define ages? Heroin free, maybe..
He has Medical Marijuana and still drinks wine, just check the videos they recorded while making "Relapse" here on TH-cam!
al was deep into the heroin at that poin t
He's on acid in this interview
Everytime I see Al Jorgensen I can't get the image of him standing over Miss Australia 1971 in a speedo with Mark Lanegan angrily wrapping a telephone cord around his neck out of my head. God I miss the 90's.
I read Sing Backwards And Weep too! It's one of the best band biographies out there. Along - ironically - with The Lost Gospels.
@@nobbynoris completely agree!
he wants to become a teacher
Agreed Rookta.. Filth Pig is still my least favorite, way more then With Sympathy. The tours for that and Darkside Of The Spoon are not there best performances.
No...those tours were KILLER..FUCK YOU.
Rob zombie stole his game to.

Al was SOFA King much sharper before he fell hard on H.
Watch this interview and then Fix.
Pretty fucking sad.
I never had a hotrod but I strongly suspect Jesus ate my hamster.
he hates and always hated Paul Barker. Read his book, go to his shows and learn
He wasn't bitter yet cuz they kept filling his pockets.
I WOULD go out and buy their albums, but i wouldn't want to corrupt them with my dirty, greedy, capitalist money. I know AL is very against that. I guess i will have to suffer until they put their repertoire out for free.
