@@TurboLemon @Fly Paper cos many people grew up on electronic industrial ministry in late 80s. This is the slowest and imo the heaviiest ministry album.

This song accompanied me when I'm in hospital to ease the extreme pain of hemorrhoids stage 4 surgery. Not just because of the pain is unbearable, but being alone at hospital without anyone looking after me. If not because of this song (playing at loop for hours) I might giving up.
There is no better contemporary piece of music that so eloquently illustrates how death, collapse, and decay are an inextricable part of the essential catharsis that eventually leads to rebirth and renewal. "Nothing is lost, nothing is created...everything is transformed." -A. Lavoisier
Uncle A. was a mess back then but as one of the biggest fans out there. Thank you for this masterpiece of a tune from a dark album. Here we are in 2023…..
I appreciate them, and I'm a 60 something middle class white guy apparently living the American dream because although ill continue they remind me "everything" in the end Is in fact useles and to think any another way is pure arrogance. Keeps me humble and in touch with my infinitesimal tiny part in world history. But this does not mean our life is completely meaningless
The Garden of Eden and the "Fall of Mankind" and what was waiting in the aftermath - "Welcome to the Fall" - A potential spiritual connection IMO - Keep in mind Al was doing a lot of heroin during the writing and recording of the album
Take this invitation Bishop's Queen to Pawn All of us were taken All that was, is gone Of this information Shames us, one and all Where's my compensation Watching others fall Welcome to the fall Everything is useless Nothing works at all Nothing ever matters Welcome to the fall
W is all gone everything. you remember when we used to go down the park. Eye used to put you on these swings. You were so dam little??? Eye used to do things that made you hate me sometimes. Well there's no one that's going to pick you up now. Your gonna have to take care of each other now. - red dawn
Rey Washam, who took over as drummer most of the way through the Filth Pig sessions after William Rieflin quit in disgust over the cover of "Lay Lady Lay".
Seen them in 94 and still rate them as the best live show I have been to. Followed by Australia's Mark of Cain, and The Cruel Sea. Robert Plant at 70yrs+ was sublime as well as being my eldest daughters first live concert a couple of years ago.
well, i fear things have changed in the meantime. saw him 3-4 years ago and boy oh boy... lets put it like this: hes paying for his lifestyl now. with interest!
To me, he (Al Jourgenson) is the Bishop, and on behalf of the Queen (society’s rulers), he’s inviting us to watch the fall of civilization. All of us were taken (for a ride) and all that was is gone, meaning nothing will ever be the same, or, as it was. This song, is melodically, lyrically, and texturally a masterpiece, on par with any modern music ever written.
One of the BADDEST MINISTRY songs ever! I love this shit. I love seeing Al w Timothy Leary at the end. Rumor has it that during this tour Leary gave AL a whole vial of LSD 25 that the band tripped on during off days
yeah he gave him 2 vials pure LSD, he used to put cpl drops in his Whisky btl before each show he forgot once and handed thye bottle to Maynard and another dude from Tool;. I ve taken shrooms and micro's during booze blackouts and that was scary enough,can't even imagine coming to tripping out on that shit and having no idea
I've been hooked since I first saw them in Mpls, MN in 1982!! Looking forward to seeing them three weeks from today for the fifth time!!! Uncle AL ROCKS!!!
crazy how on the surface this tune sounds so simple, but listen a few times and this is so complex, the drum beat, its just such a great song...i`ts like lays potato chips for me, no way when i listen to it can i do it just once..5 times minimum per sitting..love it
nothing serves self pity so good as this song. a stable for me thatn i keep returning to. BTW the sphinctour album is best of all ministry albums, dont care what you thin. yeah, im drunk SO WHAT?!!!1!!
For such grungy hardcore looking tatooed guys who need a shave and shower, these guys make some absolute musical masterpieces. Great talent, highly underrated band.
A lot of his songs are political or religious in nature. Mostly expressing disgust. However I do this and it seems good poetry can mean many things all at once. Glad you are still alive. Try to avoid it cus it's got fentanyl now.
This band Ministry, has totally - always been under rated and unrecognized. They are so way talented and entertaining - I just hope that Uncle Al realizes that - if he even really gives a shit. Thank you Uncle Al, for all of the bad ass, kick ass music over the years - because life fuckin sucks.
Look that is total nonsense. If you remember the popularity of the Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and the explosion of Psalm 69, you would know that they were celebrated and cited as a huge influence on the music scene at the time. Psalm 69 was a platinum album for crying out loud. I read a lot of music press at that time and they were everywhere. Unfortunately Heroin had long had its hooks in the band and they succumbed to that devastation and were subsequently eclipsed by other bands. Those albums are still widely regarded and rated as classics.
@@EusaMoss don't dude you'll just encourage him ,,those poser idiots write that redundant under rated trying to sound cool and shit but ,,,loser poser fucks
@@EusaMoss idk how you could say because of heroin they were ostracized from the music community at the time. When they were at their height , every other rock band had at least one if not 2 heroin addicts in them…..
@His & Hers I never at any point said anything about them being ostracised because of their heroin use. They weren't ostracised for their heroin use, if anything they were celebrated for it . Addiction tends to have a debilitating effect on creativity. That's my point.
Went to many of their shows. Watched them perform filthpig in Oregons Salem Armory with one of the greatest people ive ever known. My best friend and brother Douglas Scott McLeod aka Dj Scooter/007/oz and perhaps the second coolest guy we ever knew Theban Tonessen. I never thought that 24 years later i would be sitting here alone. A lot of years gone by and people live life. Some to much. Fuck my bro loved ministry and welcome to the fall. R.i.p. Scooter nov 1972-feb 2019. Most days im ready to join ya and get off this mother fucker. Im alien to this shit hole .
@@johnegli6511 the fuckin armory had great acoustics and the maelstrom of a pit was intense! I recall stepping up into the seats and looking down on it during reload. Fuckin human hurricane! Got the shit knocked out of me and totally didn't care.made slayers pit look weak. Lol
Uncle Al was specially inspired for those dystopian, skeptical, real lyrics, everything that many of us see and think brillianty decanted in the accurate words. Also the musical background. This song is a gem into a badass album.
Seen these assholes 5 times! Always a memorable experience! This show was especially good! I can very definitely remember this show and this song! What a blast this shit alwarrrrtgg
"Pornography " era Cure with a keyboard line lifted off of "The Top " ...most explicitly Nihilistic lyrics in a rock song ever too while at it ... excellence all around ...
Personally this is the by far the best song Ministry ever wrote. The lyrics, the delivery, drums ,guitar synth...it all just works perfectly.
So this might be the best song ever written hands down
I have felt that way about this song for decades.
It just gives off a pleasant haunting vibe that grips your entire being.
Filth Pig is such an under rated Ministry album. Classic.
Easily my favorite Ministry album. Not sure why a lot of people hate it.
I got it from BMG or Colombia House back in the early 90s when they were doing that 12 CDs for a penny deal just wasn't really into it.. Except Lava? I think it was a song called Lava that was a good song. But this is a badass song too and glad I was recommended to watch it.. 🤘🏻😠🤘🏻
Don't know who's rating that, but fucking phenomenal in my mind

Paul Barker is so underrated. What an amazing band.
Ministry is ridiculously under appreciated for everything that they did. Industrial and EBM always remain some of my favourite genres.
It´s under appreciated because spits the true in our faces, the masses can´t tolerate the facts, that´s why.
How about the NDH?

There's a spiritual element to this song....
Bottomless pit
I feel that too

make yourself comfortable in it
Take this invitation
Bishop's Queen to Pawn
All of us were taken
All that was, is gone
Of this information
Shames us, one and all
Where's my compensation

Excellent job on the lyrics,. I have seen a couple of different versions. Yours seem right on the money
Right on bro 👍
Probably the greatest, tightest Industrial/Metal band that's ever graced the stage.
Ministry was the best. Too bad they couldnt stay together. Ministry now sounds like an average metal band and it's sad.
@@Trainy2 I think u are wrong, Ministry is not average, still going strong!!! Metal has sadly become average...
Al did pull an Axl. I miss Paul. He was a main songwriter and a wizard in the studio. He was NOT "just a bass player".
Rape and honey and psalm 69 were EPIC.
the planet!
this bleeds despair and tragedy,i love it.
One of the most 'beautiful' songs I've ever heard.
i feel it too
in High School, like 1986, my friend said "Al Jourgensen is the modern day Mozart." I totally agree in 2019.
2024 still true
This live version sounds better than the album version. :)
One of the most cheerful tracks I know.
love you Al !
I feel an overwhelming sense of Hope in this too .
90s Ministry is next level.
The drummer is damn good.
Chris Conelly, I believe.
@@Decoy303 No, it's Ray Washam.
Rey Washam, who took over as drummer most of the way through the Filth Pig sessions after William Rieflin quit in disgust over the cover of "Lay Lady Lay".
Im listening to the drums as well
Yeah he's great ' loads of feel
Love the playing on this
One of my favorite songs by uncle Al. I'm sure he is an Angel
An absolute gentleman....
Every time I watch this I'm just blown away by the complete awesomeness of what is MINISTRY, and what an incredible live performance this one is.
Their drummers are always top notch.
Great job on the whole song, I totally missed it when it was new. I was in the middle of a " Fall " myself.
The accoustics are fucking incredible, among the best I've ever heard of any recorded live show.
I would easily consider this ministry's most beautiful song.
One of my favourite songs...

Oscuridad..dolor..realidad. Influenciaron algunas bandas. Única e incomparable. Quien no estuvo en la caída?

To me, this song references life with Heroin. You can see Al's pain and sadness in his face.
