Anaheim set list (Revised)

Discussion
22

Weren’t there a few shows in the last 2-3 years where Al dusted off “The Missing”, “Breathe”, and “Stigmata”?

Maybe it’s just too much work (for love) for Al to reprogram and rehearse the older stuff.

Yeah, in 2016 he played those tracks. Gunnar and I were at the Las Vegas gig where they did Missing, Deity, and Breathe. I saw them at the Houston Open Air Festival later that year and they did the re-worked/re-arranged version of Stigmata.

On last years UK tour, Filth Pig was a staple. When they returned to the US it eventually got dropped, but they did do Bad Blood. I feel like they did another DSOTS track on that UK tour. But, I can’t rememcer which so maybe I’m wrong.

Here’s a review of last nights show: https://www.ocweekly.com/ministry-uses-industrial-rage-to-obliterate-house-of-blues-anaheim/

Concerning our own Voidhead: “The entertainment began at 7:30 pm with The God Bombs, a three piece outfit from New York. Lead singer Justin Symbol roared, howled, and rolled his eyes back into his head while thrashing about on the stage for just over a half hour while his bandmates Jabbath Roa (guitar) and Edrick Supervi (drums) created some nice sonic chaos over the rest of their pre-recorded instrument tracks.”

Interesting observation for us old farts: “By their ages, the rest of the audience looked like they picked up the beat in the 21st century, as there were not too many people who appeared to be under 30.”

The setlist was predictable.
I don’t ever expect Al to change so I’m pleasantly surprised any time there’s even a minor tweak. (Filth Pig would have made me pee my pants).

Whatever. I really go to these shows to party and get weird, but I still enjoy the show too. Band was good and put in their requirements. Maybe it’s from whatever angle Grumpy was hearing things from, but I thought ever track was clear and recognizable. Punch in the Face and Lies were awesome and everyone went nuts.

I didn’t particularly care for Twilight Zone as an opening track. Kind of fucking lame to kick off a show with the slowest track. But “Victims of a Clown” with Burton had some more energy so that’s when I got the pit started, haha.

Oh, and the crowd was really terrific. I got in exactly ZERO fights and there weren’t any douchebros fucking things up for anyone else. All good vibes.

VOID was awesome. His buddies were in attendance (Ryan Frankenstein and . . . Chase, I think was the name of the other dude). And it was fun getting radical with them, especially since Ryan is a tiny dude and it was fun tossing him around like a doll, hahaha. Great kid. It’s funny that Grumps says he was jocking MM’s schtick which I assume refers to the dramatics and such. I actually wanted Void to be WEIRDER and wilder. His sets at Chain Reaction were a lot more gonzo, I thought, and really fun in their goofy insanity. But he fucking drilled it regardless. Even gave us a TIKKY TIKKY TIKKY shout out, hahaha. The comment about the age of the crowd is appropriate, but it was ironic that Void’s cover of “KILLING AN ARAB” didn’t get more of a reaction. I thought for sure that would draw people together, but it felt like only Frankenstein and I knew the song, hahhaaha.

Chelsea Wolfe? Fuck. That. Snoozefest.
Okay, I admit I didn’t watch ANY of her set and went straight outside to drink more and crack jokes.

One thing I noticed about this Ministry show was the SERIOUS lack of hot chicks. Usually there’s a decent contingent of some pretty, slutty, and pretty slutty goth, industrial, metal, etc. chicks. But it was a fucking graveyard as far as I’m concerned. I had some homegirls to hang with, and it was still a great night, but . . . . I just like it more when the crowd is a bit more sightly.

For a Ministry show, it was right there in the meaty part of the curve. Nothing revolutionary or anything, but solid show and a lot of fun . . . . and still better than any other crap being offered.

setlists are always destined to by bitched at.
if you want your own setlist play, ministry DOES have tour manager…with easily obtainable contact info… they do have an active bank account with eft remittance information… why dont you shell out the money book them where you want them and pay for the setlist you want. if you want everything and all of it in one shot, cough up the money honey, other wise they are just gonna keep you hanging on.

27

I wonder if Riot Fest will put up the cash for them to do Land of Rape and Honey in its entirety. Considering we’re approaching the 30 year anniversary.

The real question is what the Ministry fans who were butthurt over “Antifa” would make of “Hizbollah.”

Probably that it supports ISIL or something.

29

I’m gonna be at the Boston show, it’ll be incredible if they can do the full encore with “Filth Pig” and “Psalm 69”, but I’ll be happy with “Bad Blood”. Otherwise pretty predictable based on their X number of years doing virtually the same setlist (I was hoping the shakeups last year would result in more LORAH stuff sticking around) but I’ve never gotten to see Ministry live so it’s cool either way.

30

I saw a better picture of a setlist on FB. It says “Encore Options”.

So I guess they are never going to play all 4 songs mentioned, but rather 1 of those 4.

31

If that’s the case I hope I don’t get stuck with Khyber Pass

32

Yeah, that was what I was expecting, so I’m glad we at least got “Bad Blood”. Everytime they do Khyber Pass my brain is always doing the math and telling me what other 3-4 awesome songs could fit into that 15 minute snoozefest.

Nah. Basically identical setlist at RF 2017. We wish for too much lol

Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
And the Piss Army (as an online forum) has been extinct for about 8 years. They certainly didn’t have a monopoly on bitching about the setlist, though.

That wasn’t directed to the complaining about the setlist. It was the trolly comment before mine. I think the setlist sucks.

38

piss army swiss army.
headphones. you need them.
example. for the right price, massively aged metallica will rent out headphones at their shows to mask how fucking bad they sound as seniors now. it is the wave, of the future. as long as you have the money.

but i deflect…
so for setlist, you shouldnt try to teach a pig to sing the song you want, its impossible to accomplish and you really piss off the pig.

39

Oh boy…

Apparently Anaheim screwed us out of Filth Pig and Khyber Pass. Those 2 were listed on the set list encore but because of the curfew they got axed. I dont think even Filth Pig couldve saved that set list though. I will say this though, The bands energy was good and they sounded tight. But… ugh… ya. [:|]

I might go see them in Huntington NY…do you think they’ll play more stuff after Bad Blood? I certainly hope so…

That’s like a fun ironic way to boycott the band…show up at the show but listen to the concert you want on ur headset, lol…priceless [laugh][cool]
