Ministry songs that rip off...Ministry

Let’s see: Fascist Jock Itch (tech. SP but this has al all over it so…)- Crumbs
(Also there is a Pailhead song “man should surrender” that has that main riff in it)

Apathy (okay 1,000 H.D. maybe should have called this luxa/pan ripping luxa/pan)- Brick Windows

Burning Inside - N.W.O - Supermanic Soul - Piss (Kind of) (you could throw in diety/the missing based on feel)

You know what you are - Bad blood (same structure kick drum hi hat and once i heard the alt. mix it’s like they were almost poking fun)

So What - Nursing Home (the light gtr riff throughout so what and the banjo riff on nursing seem’s like a variation)

(this one may not count as one evolved into the other) Noreen - The Fall

(another debatable one) I will refuse - what about us? (in structure and the main bass line seems like a variation also the main gtr. riff in both seem like variations)

Maybe that why we miss there sound so much pretty much all of us love twitch-psalm 69 and all the records after till animosi… seem to have variations of or complete rip offs of the ‘classic’ material.
That is all i can think of at the moment see if you guy’s can find some

Man Should Surrender sounds a lot like a Blackouts song…erm…I think it’s Idiot.

So What - Bloodlines
RevCo’s Stainless Steel Providers - Skatenigs’ Chemical Imbalance

ye well you can only go so far with so called “open E/open D/open A” riffing, and using only 3rd, 5th and 6th frets while you at it, you know. whole 3 bush albums sound like they are built on like four riffs and these are reused in all songs.

most blatantly obvious is Lieslieslies and The Dick Song. it’s even worse case than So What and Bloodlines.

you can also say that Leper is a self-ripoff of Cannibal Song, though the key is different and the riff is different, but they are so alike, and they could actually pull of a great medley of these two songs live if they wanted.

if only song you can tie Breathe to is only Nature of Love, because in both, most of the time, bass is pulsing on one note.

if you speed up Fith Pig you may say “omg that bass is from Golden Dawn!”, while actually its just same notes used in different pattern (and in FP, obviously slower).

Waiting intro may sound like rip-off of Thieves.

and of course, Cuz U R Next is just sounding waay too much like Let’s Go (though riffs are different for sure).

So What - Bloodlines

cant get any better than this.

I’ve never listened to any of the WS stuff as A.J. requested when i read my first interview with them in '92. I am curious to hear the breath/what he say (?, what about the last song or next to last song on lard’s pure chewing '97 it seems like it has borrowed elements from maybe WS era)
rip-off though! Also I know they did “Where you at now?” Twice, maybe not as ministry,but somewhere anyone have an idea?

What I wouldn’t give to hear this, complete with Connelly vocals. Any love for Leper here? One of my all time favorite Ministry songs and a great way to close out the album.

I always thought the beat for where you at now was like never believe…

also impossible’s guitar reminds me of stigmata, with vocals sung like nwo…

I think with any musician, certain ideas or patterns are bound to repeat themselves.

Some more obvious than others.

Nothing really jumps out as being too over the top except the whole
“So What” --> “Bloodlines”

I actually like when artists do this but that one WAS a bit much…

Didn’t Al admit in an interview that Bloodlines was a blatant rip-off of So What?

ummm, what’s bloodlines? (hey, at least know and love WS)

that was a ministry song featured in 2004 in videogame “vampire the masquerade”, or it’s sequel.

it was later released on rantology, but in a bit edited form.

also released on 2nd version of houses of the mole.

Bang on.

I always thought there was a similarity between Scarecrow and RevCo’s Razor’s Edge

Ah, thanks. I’m sure I had Rantology digitally and condemned it after one listen. It now seems to have disappeared from my collection. I hated it all and hated the cover to boot, from memory.

ye rantology sucked

Oh cmon Rantology had a few good songs on it. Those being:
Bad Blood (alt mix)
Unsung (alt mix)
no w redux
Great Satan

Other than those few I can understand why everyone else hates the rest

One of the remixes was better than the original. Was it Unsung? The one where he added bagpipes.

Yep it was Unsung

I always thought Primental sounded suspiciously like I Wanted to Tell Her…
