This happened a while back at this point, but it came up on my Spotify.
Al is a madlad, as they say.
Ministry came to Northwest Arkansas (with Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper) and performed God Damned White Trash, and the video visuals he used on stage were literally just a collage of videos from the January 6th Insurrection. You wouldn't think much of it, but the video actively featured Richard Barnett. He was the guy pictured in Nancy Pelosi's chair. Ole Richard here is from Gravette, AR, which is less than 30 minutes away from where they were performing.
There were probably people in the crowd who knew him personally.
I still giggle when I think about it.
This version of TV Song was on the Jesus Built My Hotrod CD single which came out many months before Psalm 69. I like this version. Nearly pure undistorted vocals and fewer samples than TV 2, though it’s obviously sped up. A lot of Mike Scaccia (RIP) noodling on his guitar. Great track.

Celebrating the release by blasting my Uncle Al signed copy.
I posted this yesterday on the Industrial Music subreddit trying to find a higher quality upload of this music video. This is my favourite music video of all time and I know that this video is included on Tapes Of Wrath which is also on the Internet Archive just only available as an AVI file. I’m wondering if anyone has a higher quality rip available that they may be willing to share?
anyone know if the track “Happy Dust” is a sample of something from somewhere? It’s about 6 mins long, from the Bad Blood single. If Ministry made this track themselves that’s super cool, sounds like it’s straight out of a western movie. I was wondering if they have any other works like this in side projects too
