MINISTRY - Las Vegas - May 26, 2016 ($20)

http://punkrockbowling.com/collections/prb-las-vegas-club-shows/products/ministry-excel-45-grave-may-26th-2016-freemont-country-club

Excel and 45 Grave are opening!

Heck, even if Ministry cancels this should be a fun show.
More importantly, it’s only $20.

I can’t wait to see the set list.

Fingers crossed they go nuts for this one.

Yeah, I’m not going to get my hopes up or anything.
But, considering they’re doing a $20 show, I hope this means that they’re continuing to take my critique to heart and actually make some sensible changes in what they’re doing.

I’d pay $20 to see 45 Grave by themselves.

This part has me shaking my head a bit, though . . .

“Doors open at 10:30 pm, 21 and Over”

So . . . . Excel at 11:30 . . . 45 Grave at 12:30 . . . Ministry at 1:30am?

Punk rockers stay up late!

Going to bed early is for fascists.

Ahhhh 45 Grave…The Return of the Muthafuckin Living Dead…

This actually works out pretty good for me if my wife comes up with me. Get a nice dinner, kiss her good night, and then go out to raise hell. I’m typically sneaking out of my room after midnight and stumbling back at 8am.

There better be at least one girl that looks like Linnea Quigly or I’m gonna be pissed!

I might round some troops and try to go to this thing. You may even see a couple other familiar faces with me, but not of this forum…

Tickets on sale now.

And get this . . . same night, also playing downtown Vegas . . . . JELLO BIAFRA & GSM!!!

The Jello tickets are only $15.

I bought a ticket for Jello and one for Ministry.
I have options, hahaha!!!

A bunch of cats from the FB group I’m on area already rallying for this one.

That’s really cool. Enjoy!

Got my tix. Can’t wait. And I’m holding out hope that Jello makes an appearance. Probably not, but don’t crush my pipe dream.

If they were not BOTH headlining clubs at the same time I’d say there’d be a good shot at a Jello pop-in. But as it is, he logistics make it pretty much an impossibility.

I was going to say it’s bullshit that they have Ministry and Jello booked at the same time as there would be so many shared fans across the two . . . . . but considering it’s part of some 5 day punk rock megafest with like a billion shows and such going on simultaneously . . . . I’m sure the same dilemma and situation exists for countless others too.

But it’s really only the stuff that affects ME that I give a rat’s ass about.

Gunnar, I kindly requested my pipe dreams not be crushed. Dick.

So . . . . Excel at 11:30 . . . 45 Grave at 12:30 . . . Ministry at 1:30am?

According to my eticket, doors are at 9:00 and the line up also includes somebody called Death Hymn Number 9.

What does your ticket for Jello say? All I see are Jello and “special guests.” If Ministry isn’t playing until after midnight, I wonder if they’ll make an appearance at Jello’s thing.

Jello used to show up to [url http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ministry/2004/house-of-blues-west-hollywood-ca-1bd179d4.html]LA dates on previous Ministry tours.

And yeah, they played Lard songs.

The Jello ticket says 9pm and only mentions “special guests” but no further details. I’d like Jello to get his show done right away so I can then walk over to catch Ministry, but I suspect I’ll be making some tough decisions.

from the SMM interview, assuming this is the same show:

Hey, it’s actually still in the works, but Ministry might be playing across the street from the Republican National Convention this year (Ministry). Jello Biafra’s band is also scheduled to be on the bill. So both of us are gonna take on the GOP. Let’s see who comes out standing.

Nice! Any chance of a collaboration? I guess it’s too early to tell at this point.

Nah, we’ll both be there with our bands. There’s some talk of me doing some reporting for some magazines. I might be hanging around the Republicans for a few weeks- me and Jello, that’d be so much fun.

Hahahahahaha
