For sure. LoA were just jaw-droppingly awesome when they first hit the clubs.

Ok I get it, will give a look at the nsfw video to see if my bar for shock is biased too high or too low (I fear the former…)

One of my most favorite bands (and eras, although very very very short lived as far as hey day’s go).

I got the idea, i think I am at least 25 years too old for that kind of show! Too loud and chaotic for present time me

Just for clarity (and because I’m a movie fan), @f.guerrieri and @MikeC , the image on the right is The Lord Humungus from Mad Max 2. But he would have been right at home at a Lords of Acid show.

Sadly when I saw them neither Jade4U or Praga Khan was touring with them which made if very odd and I was very pissed. It was during the Our Little Secret Tour. It just wasn’t the same and I despised the ‘hit’ song from that album. Lust and Moby’s first album (and remixes), to me, were the grandparents of pure techno. Techno splintered off so fast after that it just seemed like it was evolving faster than I could keep up.

I never saw them, and never really listened to their stuff, but it is very Ministry like, just a little more show, and a little softer music, and way less political, but its good, I would have loved the shows, and I can still appreciate that video, I will look up more of their stuff, but I will file them somewhere between a thousand other things I need to check out more of

That sounds moe like GWAR, but yes, I realize it is Road Warrior. the real Road Warrior, the good one that was a sequel to Mad max, before Mad Max into the Thunderdome, that was before the horrible sequel with Tom Hardy and so many other good actors, I just could not get into that movie, it was all chase, didn’t seem to have a real story behind it. Well there was one, I just felt it was very weak, and did not do the whole franchise justice.
But thats IMO, I know many people that loved The Road Warrior, the recent one.
of course of those people that loved it, I asked them if they saw Mad Max, and they said, yeah, the first one, with the thunderdome, and the conversation usually continues, no I mean the real Road Warrior, with Mel Gibson, and they continue, yeah, he was Mad Max in the thnderdome, and I end up telling them, go rent Mad Max, and The Road Warrior, the one from like 1983, then watch thunderdome, and then watch the new road warrior, and see if it made a whole lot of sense for the franchise.
Many people my age that I know, that remember those great classics, didn’t think much of the new one either.
I mean, come one look at The Humungous!!! He was barbaric, he didn’t need a Mack truck with a million watts of amplification and musicians playing loud heavy metal music during a car chase, he was a million watts of fury, him chasing you by himself would be enough to make most people piss themselves.
Again, My Opinion, YMMV

Before Ministry went all metal, they were very electroindustrial (and helped found that genre, along with a bunch of other bands, a few of whom had members in RevCo with Al). And electroindustrial was one of the things that fed in to New Beat, along with EBM (electronic body music - stuff like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb) and other hard electronica styles. So yeah, there’s definitely similarities there in Lords of Acid’s stuff to the era of Ministry between Twitch and The Land Of Rape And Honey.
This - ~'85-'92 or so - was basically my favorite era of music. Which makes sense as (dating myself here) that’s basically my junior year of high school through college.

Yep, I’m a massive film buff. I loved the Mad Max franchise, back when Mel Gibson still had his Aussie accent.

For the record, I really dug the Tom Hardy/Charlize Theron Mad Max, too.

SAME. I have watched it over 30 times. And yes, I have seen the prior movies. I do think it makes sense in the franchise as it shows the progression of civilization devolving over time. It didn’t happen overnight.
I kinda love that Hugh Keays-Byrne played Toecutter in the first movie and then Immortan Joe (unrelated to Toecutter) in the fourth.
The soundtrack is fantastic, too.

I couldn’t agree more. It is a great piece of filmmaking.

I got to know Ministry because I despised George Bush Sr.

This is one of those “how the hell did I never see any of these movies, I really gotta sit down one day and want her them all” sorta things.
