[kj] Ministry in DC

[P Bernardi]

The 7 angry men under a large video screen, rolled on thru to DC 
tonight.  Was good to see Raven up there looking all menacing. Victor 
was defo into the material jumping around. Drummer was definitely stiff 
most of the show.

Lies, Lies, Lies followed by Worthless was the highlight of the evening 
for me. At the end of the set all the old material came popping out one 
by one. Was nice to hear Stigmata but So What was awful. Mostly in part 
on shit sound from the club. N.W.O. didnt sound that great either.

It was a fun show, lots of hot chix attended, cool visuals - but I 
realized that Ministry has too much programmed/ pre recorded stuff for 
me to really be in awe of them.

Revolting Cocks - whose the lead singer for them? That Hitler looking 
dude? freaking lame wastoid, starting quoting American Psycho - it was 
the equivalent of a math nerd singing the lumber jack song from Monty 
Python. Yeah, Revco was pretty underwhelming tonight. The DC crowd 
really wasnt into most of revco - things did pick up for D'ya Think Im Sexy.

And it was loud tonight. I havent been to a show this loud in awhile. I 
had earplugs - the wax ones you can mold, and my ears are still fucking 
ringing.
