I really regret never seeing these guys back in the day. Eldritch may be an asshole to bandmates but they were pretty solid live.
That’s pre-Patricia Morrison, looks like it’s still the dudes that left to form The Mission - probably right after this. Yeah, definitely looks like Hussey and Adams.
Lots of genre overlap, could throw in Fields of Nephilim too. SoM were pretty iconic.
It’s an unpopular opinion but I think the band got substantially better after Morrison replaced Adams. Bass really took the lead, and despite Eldritch’s comments, she’s pretty clearly the reason.
Also never been a huge fan of The Mission, so there’s that too
One of my fave bands, got to see them live (KMFDM also, and Lords of Acid, Moby, Front 242) all in the same year. Such a great era for music that gets dismissed a lot because its heyday was about a millisecond long, but it was a crazy millisecond. Thank goodness these bands have rabid fans (well, Lords of Acid wasn’t really a band, then it was a band just to go on tour). I miss WaxTrax and all the great bands they had. That’s one label that should not have failed.
Wow – not when it initially came out, but I remember I was just starting in high school and I heard this. I was such a little dipshit that my first thought was, “Oh no, they’re gonna get in trouble like John Lennon did!”

Since its Friday! Love this band Rival Sons, great rock sound with a real retro feel. Always have some great driving bass lines.
Enjoy!

Hope this works. I found basslines from pantera nice to learn and use this for warm up. Took me a while to get hang of it but boy it felt great when i nailed it down first Time.
I have not tried to learn really any Pantera, cuz Dime is / was my favorite guitar player of all time, and I have a hard time hearing anything but him.
I would love to learn some tho eventually.
Yeah, funny.
He has said he wishes he never did that first album. I think he was saying the studio and record label really changed what they were trying to do.
The funny thing about With Sympathy is it’s actually a fantastic synthpop album
And the singles that came out around the time between it and Twitch were some of Ministry’s best work, especially Nature of Love.
Very different from their metal phase though. And better IMO.
@John_E - Man, so good. I still listen to a lot of that stuff every day. I totally love Thrill Kill Kult. “And this is what the devil does” / “The devil does drugs” is fantastic; whole album is really.
KMFDM were good but kind of on the standard side compared to most of my tastes at the time (don’t tell Sasha ). I was a massive Wax Trax fan, on a big electroindustrial kick as my go-to genre at the time; Skinny Puppy was my favorite, FLA (and all the other Bill Leeb/Rhys Fulber side projects), Front 242, etc. Basically most things on Nettwerk or Wax Trax at the time.
Man. Lords of Acid. Those guys were amazing live. Touring with strippers was a perfect call for that band.
