wish they were coming here
Only pic I managed to take…
We were pretty close…after Phil’s set it cleared out temporarily and we moved up for Ministry…by nights end we covered the whole floor of that place…
Cool shot.
post must be 20 characters. That’s fucking stupid.
Yeah the 20 characters thing is an annoying feature of this new format…
Haha Al made the Primus setlist for the Oakland show. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YdX-TJs7E/?utm_source=ig_embed And Primus had been teasing the intro and first verse of Nutbuter for a couple of years but they finally busted out the first full version of it in 15 years the other night at a headlining one-off and have been playing it since. They also did their old school Thieves tease during Pudding time. Here is a recent Nutbutter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vi5HljmHQ4&feature=youtu.be&t=393
I’ve wanted to see them play that goddamn song since “Tales From The Punchbowl” came out. I’m literally writhing in jealousy right now.
Could have sworn they played all of Nutbuetter at the Asheville show…
Asheville had the intro and first verse then transitioned to Mud IIRC. Also on YouTube. The full song is pretty rare up to now.
You have the right of it – they usually only play a little bit of it. Killer song.
Ahh ok…admittedly i was on what was a full day of drinking by that point…
Anybody got anything to say about the merch?
I couldn’t even find Ministry mercy at the show I was at…saw like 3 booths with all Slayer shit…
When I saw Slayer a few years ago they had comedian Jim Florentine doing jokes between bands and since then he’s said that he had t-shirts on sale that tour but he was forced to match Slayer’s merch prices to sell them so he had to list them at like 35 bucks or whatever.
The merch is fucking horrible for ministry. One shirt. (The uncle al for president one.) A keychain bottle opener with the M logo on it. Amerikkka cd for 20 bucks. a generic black beanie that says ministry in block script. And an M patch. Pitiful.
Primus has a nice merch presence though multiple shirts a zip hoodie vinyls, a poster. Primus brings it!!!
And of course slayer has a truckload of merch
Ha ha Al is more animated than the crowd. The crowd are a bunch of lifeless fucks. And the moron behind me bitching on ministry, “great the same song for 20 minutes” dumbass
Such an insane show.
I bought pit tickets, but told myself I would stay in the back. As soon as Slayer came on, I got in the pit. Paying for it now.
Ministry’s set was good, but did some of the songs sound off? JBMH sounded strange.
Tried to meet up with grmpy, but it just didn’t work out. Apologies again, for leaving you hanging.
Ministry’s set from 11/30 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzMW6yWpdQQ
The pit consists of maybe 4 people. Oy… Man, that’s pretty lame.
It was mostly Slayer fans. They responded much better to Primus, but then again, they were more liquored up by then too.
I know lots of Ministry fans who skipped this (Gunnar and others) because the Slayer factor kicked the ticket prices up too much.
