Ministry’s Wacken show will stream live I think at 15 minutes past the hour here

I kind of want to cap the audio but I can’t be bothered.
yep…watching now!
i much prefer Rossi to this new drummer guy so far, though it’s hard to fairly judge as the drum sound suffers from the stream quality. RGB sounded pretty noisy.
Testament is on…awesome!
This interview was on after the live feed (new ministry & revco in 2017):

I caught the last half of the set…lies lies lies when I started.
The band has changed since I last watched Ministry live. I happen to like the new drummer…no clue who he is. He played very little differences and I thought they were a good added feel.
During Stigmata (changed the song slightly), the studio vocals were re-recorded with Al signing over them…that was strange. He seemed pretty straight which was a first for me to see…very happy for him too.
During NWO, in the middle they seemed to use the dead guy bass-line…that was cool! The missing & Deity break was fine…nothing other than a 10 break between songs.

drummer had some cool fills. the new arrangements of NWO and Stigmata were interesting. that break in NWO was especially cool, really caught me off guard. there’s a torrent on dime and I’m sure it’ll hit YouTube if it hasn’t yet.
Al claimed to be drunk but was animated as hell walking around with the mic again and looking like he felt great.
Much better than I expected. I’d actually go see them live with this. As opposed to the last tour when they literally played across the street from my office and I didn’t even bother going.
It was nice to hear The Missing and Deity again, so I give props for that. I also liked that the second half of the set was mostly older songs. I was growing rather tired of the same set list that was used over and over for the better part of a decade.
Definitely not the tightest performance. Al’s singing was a bit lacking, and the drumming was just ok. The guitars and keys were spot on though.
I was hoping for some pre-LORAH material. The redone versions of We Believe and Halloween would have sufficed, but I enjoyed the set for what it was.

Great story about the origin of “I’m Invisible.”
I watched and was highly impressed. I attribute a lot of this to the new drummer and Al’s stage presence, which was usually lacking. I can’t ever remember seeing Al so animated.
And the drummer is the best they may have ever had.
I never thought I would watch Ministry play live again, but upon seeing this, I would totally go.
Hope he gets this new drummer to play on his next record (whatever band name he records it under).
