First time getting to see Ministry!!!....got to score pit tickets and get up close to Al Jourgensen. Wish they played some of their older songs.."Over the Shoulder & Flash Back." Security was pretty cool and staff was great with service, so no complaints here. Can't wait to see em again!

I agree with the other review. Al came out looking like the show would be as good as advertised. I left extremely disappointed. They played way too much of their new stuff and had the amps cranked up so loud you couldn't tell what the hell they were playing. Maybe Al's voice had issues, etc...I have been to alot of Ministry shows and this hands down was the worst. Hopefully they can regain their footing before jumping across the pond for their Euro tour

Favorite moment: Al coming on stage with freakish glasses. Looked like he came straight from Hell to the show. @

Setlist: New stuff until encore, then stigmata, psalm 69 in a medley but did give time to so what @

Negatives: Didn't play any of the oldies but goodies (stigmata, so what, psalm 69) until the encore, and when they did they didn't play jesus built my hotrod, burning inside, the missing, filth pig and played the oldies in a medley. Also they actually were too loud (I know, if it's too loud you're too old). The amps were cranked up so high that the various instruments (including Al's voice) were indistinguishable.

Positives: Al looked freakish, very cool. Good crowd interaction by Al.

Favorite moment: Beginning of the Show with Ghouldiggers and LIESLIESLIES @

Setlist: Ghouldiggers, No W, Rio Grande Blood, Senor Peligro, LiesLiesLies, 99 Percenters, Watch Yourself, Life is Good, Waiting, Worthless, Relapse, The Last Sucker, Khyber Pass. Encore: Psalm 69, N.W.O, Just One Fix, Thieves @

Opening act(s): Only remember the group BlackBurden. Fusion of industrial with DubStep. Very interesting, but not as good as Ministry. I think that was the point. @

When I heard that Ministry was putting out a new album in 2012. I was stoked. Al putting in the last word before the Apocalypse of 2012. It was just a coincidence that the LA show was on June 21, 2012 exactly six months before December 21, 2012. I had to go. The last time I saw Ministry was in 1999 with the Psalm 69. I have to say. AL IS A INDUSTRIAL METAL GOD!!!!!

The music was too loud; it entirely overpowered the vocals. When I could hear the vocals, they were unintelligible. I also thought the video montages denouncing ex-President George W. Bush were hackneyed to say the least.

It was the worst concert I have ever been to.

This was the 3rd time I had seen Ministry, with the first two being in 1999 and 2003, respectively. It was the right mix of newer songs and older songs, and they were really on top of their game. Al seemed glad to be there and even came down to the area between the barricade and the stage to thank fans before going in after the main set. I am really glad that I made the decision to travel up from Houston for this show.

It's been about 10 years since I last saw Ministry (Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas). I am really glad I didn't miss this opportunity. The band did not disappoint and I was reminded why I have liked Ministry since the 80's. Every song was great and they could have played all night I think everyone would have stayed until they ran out of songs to play. When Al came down to the floor to shake all our hands in the front you could see the gratitude in his eyes. IF YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS THE NEXT MINISTRY SHOW!
The world could use a little more Ministry.

If you missed the going away tour this is the one and only chance to catch ministry again. This is really for the people that liked them for a very long time and have been influence by the music. There were some technical issues but nothing that ruins the show.

Uncle Al is back with an extremely tight and high tech sonic assault. The new LP Relapse is packed with new tracks that combine the heavyness of Filth Pig and the mathmatical guitar riffs of N.W.O. Al's stage presence is humble and gracious to the audience of life long fans. He played old was tracks and a range of hits from each album. The band is super tight and precise with an speed metal flair. Visuals and sound production is top notch. Sound quality at Club Nokia was awesome allowing the audience to hear all the layers with precision and clarity. My ears are still ringing though two days later.
