New Ministry World Tour

Just when we thought we saw the last of Ministry, guess what: Al Jourgensen will take Ministry on world tour.

"Wow! Amazing news has just been announced by Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen. Fresh out of rehab and over 100 days reportedly sober, Jourgensen took to his own Facebook page to announce that Ministry will once again hit the road for a worldwide tour!
With the tragic death of Mike Scaccia (Ministry guitarist and longtime creative partner of Al Jourgensen), it seemed like Ministry had finally come to an end. However, Jourgensen has once again surprised us all with not only the tour announcement, but oddball rants about the Amish.
Jourgensen casually announced the Ministry tour in a Facebook post earlier today (May 30):
These Amish f—ers are weird…been doin some research on them today…did you know that they let their teens go bat s–t crazy for a weekend before committing to eternal amishness…they get to do drugs alcohol hookers computers TV all sorts of s–t ….well f— next time I tour we’ll get these f—ers on the Ministry crew bus …problem solved…my crew would get them so f—ing drunk and high they’d be sick for weeks…like I’m gonna be after ingesting their f—ing “wood milk”
When the line, “Next time I tour…” was read, fans immediately begged Al for some details. The Ministry mastermind posted another rant about an hour later:
Yup you heard right…will be touring the FBTE ['From Beer to Eternity'] album….the set will be FBTE in it’s exact order…and a few oldies for an encore…and it just won’t be America and Europe this time….we’ll see ya down under as well as Mexico South America and Japan…so start rounding up every f—ing Amish teen you can find and bring em to the shows…..I will exact my revenge on those bastards….I’m still puking from their toxic “wood milk ” s–t…….yuk!…if there was ever a reason to tour this is it….oh btw…it’s a secret for now…but I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the dude that’ll take Mikey’s place……ok that’s it….so let it be written …so let it be done….
P.S. still not a chance in hell there will be another Ministry album…..will be doing some side stuff though when I get my ass to LA…..Mikey’s last words to me were….FBTE could not be topped …so why bother MINISTRY RECORDINGS ARE DONE !!!! Carve that s–t on a stone tablet!
So according to Al, Ministry will hit America, Europe, Mexico, Australia, Japan and South America to assault fans with a ton of new Ministry material. Not only that, but a guitarist that Uncle Al is “pretty sure” we’ve heard of will fill the spot left by Scaccia. How awesome is that?!?
Stay tuned for more updates on Ministry’s apparent upcoming world tour."

Reading this part: 'so let it be written …so let it be done'... KIRK HAMMETT OF METALLICA?!

Interesting. I would love to hear the Psalm 69 album in it's entirety.

Haven't listened to these guys in yrs, well since high school back in the early 90s lol. Can't believe they going to do a world tour....man they rocked

kinda cool, they did a small tour for it last year i believe. Unfortunately From Beer To Eternity isn't that great, IMO. The album before that was better i thought, Relapse

I agree, I got excited when I heard they will tour again, but then I read they will do FBTE in its entirety and I wasn't so much anymore.

I'd rather they not do that, pick a classic album and play it in it's entirety

I know what you mean. I rather Ministry to play a classic album as well. I may decide to go if the guitarist going on tour is indeed who I think it is.

Personal fact: since 2009, I saw at least one artist that played an album in its entirety every year:

2009: Judas Priest with British Steel
2010: Roger Waters with The Wall
2011: Peter Frampton with Frampton Comes Alive
2012: Peter Gabriel with So (I won tickets in a contest)
2013: Dehaan (in reality, Metallica) with Kill Em' All in its entirety at the Orion Music and More Festival in Detroit. Missed the first half as I was unaware of it and only caught it because I told my friend that there's Tomahawk I wanted to check out at the Fuel Stage and Dehaan were playing at the Damage Inc. Stage, which was next to Fuel Stage almost at the same time. I noticed that there were a lot of people at the Damage Inc. Stage so I went to see what was going on and was shocked to see that it was Metallica playing there.

This year, I will go see The Offspring playing Smash in its entirety at TD Echo Beach on August 7. Not the biggest Offspring fan, but Smash is a very good album and it's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime show. Also, I was lucky to get three of those limited $20 tickets (as opposed of paying $64 each) on Ticketmaster, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. I also made two of my friends very happy as a result. Not to mention that Bad Religion, Pennywise and The Vandals will open for them.

One last mention: I also did see Roger Waters play Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety in Montreal in 2007. This was the last show I saw in Montreal as my parents and I officially moved to Toronto a few weeks after that show.
