I’m thinking clicking on this is not going to make my shitty day any less shitty.

Pass.

I saw these choads open for Pigface once a long time ago…they sucked butt then and they suck butt now…

I did laugh at Trump and Hillary enjoying each other in the video.

Oh wow! Was it Putin’s face almost at the end? I guess he hacked DOPE to appear in their video.

But listening to the cover itself, think about it - this is exactly how it would sound if Al would decide to re-record it. It has all the trademarks of latest Ministry sound but applied for classic Ministry track.

Even the “current president” mask shtick that Ministry used.

I honestly don’t know if I prefer the Limp Bizkit version over this one or not :stuck_out_tongue: This version even uses Ministry’s samples… If I feel the need to listen to a “fresh” version of Thieves, I think I’m going to stick with the live version off the Enjoy The Quiet record.

There’s something wrong with that link.

Here’s a working link . . . but yeah, it was pretty much exactly what I expected. A band that wishes they were Ministry trying to do a heavy fast version of the song and just making it sound like a shitty generic knockoff.

I like cover songs and tribute songs to at least have an original angle to them. This is just . . . . unnecessary and lame.

All black rivethead clothes, check. Mugging at the camera and trying to look tough and scary, check. Same stock footage used for every industrial music ever, check.

BBBBBOOOOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!

Dope was literally a middle school band for me. I only liked a few songs off of their first album, but that was it for me. Their obnoxious hot topic dreadlocks and later singles were dreadful. I remember one song where the guy ends the song by repeating the phrase “I am what I am” over and over, and he suddenly reminded me of being the bastard love child of Popeye and Edie Brickell. Fuck, those dreads make me glad I’m bald and have a slight resemblance to Rob Halford when I have a goatee.

Yeah. . .no thank you.

I actually don’t mind it at all. Vocals aint too bad and I actually like the new sound of the chuggity riff. I like how much it’s palm muted with the tone knob jacked way up.

I agree, their visual is shit, though.

Wow, they lost their dreads! And of course it sucks. Combichrist is involved.

It’s also downtuned (of course) from original E to C#.
But I think that’s the key/tuning Dope plays everything in.

What a bunch of nonsense.
Trump wouldn’t get blood from Hillary’s vagina, she’s way past menopause by now.

I’ve heard worse versions of the song.

but i do like there compilation cd Felons For Life

The only thing that really hurts this is an over-reliance on the original samples. Dope is pretty dope, man.

I like felons and revolutionaries and life cds .

after that they went down hill.

Unoriginal cover, but I guess it’s better that they credit Ministry when playing their songs. There’s a Dope song called “The Life” that’s basically a dumbed-down ripoff of Ministry’s “Dead Guy,” and I don’t think they’ve been called out on that enough.

Yeah, I thought that was tired too.
There wasn’t any innovation or tweaking of the original. I’m surprised he didn’t come out with a top hat and can and trench coat and stumble around like Al . . . . oh, gas mask too, of course.

Total ripoff…I liked it though.
