Rock Band: Ministry - Track Pack 02

Rock Band, whom most of us are aware of even if we hate it, has just added a downloadable track-package of three Ministry songs:

“Thieves”
“Jesus Built My Hotrod”
“Stigmata”

In the past, they put out the first track package and it basically sucked, they were all 13th Planet songs (“Lieslieslies”, “CuZ u r Next” etc). However, the cool part about these are they are taken from the MASTER recordings, they’re as crisp and clean as you’re gonna get - ask anyone who heard the Metallica rips of “Blackened” and their latest album.

I dig Rock Band, not as much as today’s youth but I will probably pick this up. It’s fun to play with the missus.

Actually upon looking at the info, it appears it’s for Rock Band 2. I just own the first one. Ah well.

Only ministry news that isn’t a real bummer/disappointment. Not really a fan of the games though.

bleh, stigmata is rantology version

but anyway, gief multitracks of that!!!

Sweet. I downloaded Cuz U R Next when they put that out, but obviously these are way better.
Looking forward to attempting to sing my way through JBMHR.

hey, Al never submitted official Lyrics for JBMHR to Afra. So, let us know if they lifted the lyrics from this site!

I don’t think anyone will ever know those true lyrics. I’m pretty sure Gibby was winging most of it.

true, although I’m still pretty interested in what they have for lyrics on that beast or how they deciphered it, if they even did.

I got all of these tracks.
Haven’t tried playing JBMHR as a vocalist yet, so I don’t know what it does. Some other thoughts:

  • I found the Stigmata guitar part really hard on the chorus, and I was playing on medium.
  • Even though the download page says Stigmata is from The Land of Rape and Honey, and that’s the album cover they show, it’s definitely the Rantology version. That’s going to make playing as a vocalist hard, because I’m going to want to sing it the LoRaH way.
  • They mute the word “acid” in Thieves like it’s a cussword!

Excuse my ignorance (I’ve still barely moved on from the Sega Mega Drive) but is this a download-able add on for an Xbox 360 game?

Well, I’ve got it on Wii. But I’m sure it’s also available for the XBox 360 version.

BTW, I also noticed there’s now a KMFDM track available, but it’s Sturm & Drang and not one of their classics, so I don’t give a damn.

Yes.

I refuse to buy this if Al gets money off it. He has enough blood money.
