I’ve had this video on a torrented DVD for years now, thought it needed to be on YouTube. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing! That was really cool.

Thanks for posting.

Hey anybody know what that Detroit beanie he is wearing is from? It doesn’t seem to be any Detroit sports team that I know of.

Damn Al, you could pull off that look real well back in 95, but now you just look like a jackass. Al needs a makover, stat.

seeing him make sense makes the sad decline even harder to swallow

Not sure which is really worse. He’s witty and actually knows what he’s talking about, but he looks horrible. Drugs took it’s toll on his body. Now, he’s off the smack, can’t write good music anymore, and almost everything he says and does is almost completely intelligible. Seems like drugs were his muse… Terrible thing to say, but that was the beginning of his decline.

He’s wearing those FilthPig-era funny clip-on dreadlocks that I love so much!

But yeah, it used to actually be interesting to listen to him. Now it’s just embarrassing.

Are the dreadlocks really clip-on? They seem real to me…

Cool interview.

Yeah nice one Jordan…I can’t even begin to say how much I miss the days when Ministry ruled the world.

As for the beanie…I’m pretty sure the image is an engine similar to the one on the Jesus Built My Hotrod cover or an actual hotrod/cool car??? Detroit is the motor city after all.

Nice and lengthy.

Now if we could get a interview from the DSOTS days, that would make my day.

I remember looking forward to this all week when it was announced that Ministry were going to be on Spotlight! Thanks for this. Very fun.

Regarding Al’s fake dreads. I’ve had this theory ever since I saw the Sphinctour DVD where he is rockin (in some segments) the thickest, blackest, shiniest dreadlocks. They look like something from a Halloween store.

I was suspicious because I’d met Al pre-show and post-show before and have seen him without something on his head and his hair is thin and getting thinner.

To cross check it against the time in question just look at the “FIX” video trailer. There’s a shot where he’s getting ready to shoot up and he’s got no hat on . . . . look at his hair. There’s not enough for a single dread even if he used every last hair.
