"Americans MINISTRY gained during their long music career enormous success. They were nominated for Grammy Awards several times, in 2000 they lost only with Black Sabbath. The last nomination is from 2007! Yes, Ministry is still very actual band and real legend! It's a cult of industrial metal.

Well, at least their career ended while not being in a drain. They probably did all they wanted. Always enjoyable to see bands that know they should end it before making an album that ruins their last days.
Or well something like that at least...

Mmm HIM and Sonic Syndicate... I'm with you, for me those bands sucks really bad.
But the first three CDs of Rammstein,,, They are pure Industrial Metal without doubt.

Sad news... At least their last era is facking awesome!!!

Actually I did buy that shitty album and it was the worst thing I've ever heard. That was pure industrial punk... NOT metal! I traded it with an Evanescence album to prove how shitty it was...

Excuse me, but I don't get the meaning of "effin". Top that, I run my own metal webzine, and I get loads of cds from labels like Cruz Del Sol to Metalblade en Century Media, there's few I don't know

oh please put your e-peen away and STFU about how metal you are. You're collection is not particularly impressive, nor is your command of metal if you still think Ministry is Industrial Punk.

If you think the last couple of albums or even Pslam 69 is industrial punk then you really need your ears fixed. This is pure unadultered industrial metal as industrial metal gets. It pisses all over that poor excuse for industrial metal called Rammstein.

I'm glad somebody bought atleast one Evanescence album. Gotta support even the lowest of the low. Are we about done here? And whats wrong with punk? A lot of grindcore these days uses punk rifts and influences, from your posts all I see is that you "hate" bands/albums because they are not "Metal", which is fine by me, everybody has there own tastes and opinions, but you on the other hand just base a band on there genre classification, or the way you classify it.

You sir, with your "massive" amount of metal collection, with your 600 black metal t-shirts in your closet, with your army boots and spiked bands...are not metal. Let me guess you burned all of your metallica cd's when the band stopped being popular and you started to follow everybody else like a sheep.

I gotta be with everybody here... Ministry is like the epitome of industrial metal. You have to be deaf to not get that. Saying the contrary shows how much you don't know, no matter how extensive (or not extensive, I didn't bother checking that) your collection is. It's easy to buy albums, much less to know what you're talking about.

I never said I don't like something that's not metal. It's my right to say that I don't like something. And yes I hate this band for various reasons and I hate it because I have the right and it's my own opinion. And I'm far more open-minded in music than any other kid in this forum.
And because I like industrial I don't have to like Ministry too...
And no, I never liked Metallica for your information, HardSide.
Got that everyone? Now stop bashing me for my beliefs or go create your own webzine and call it Nazi Storm - The house of non-freedom of speech.

and P.S. I never said they suck. I only said I don't like them. There's a major difference in that.
P.S. II: I said shitty album in my opinion too.
P.S. III: Rammstein is 100 times more industrial metal than Psalm 69.

Well, everyone here mostly criticized you NOT about your dislike of Ministry (it's your right), but about your deafness and unwillingness to recognize that, whatever you might think of it, Ministry ARE industrial metal. Moreso, one of the founders.
And now, I'll add that I'm pretty pleased with the openmindedness of NaziStorm, thank you. Certainly more than yours and your little ego ("And I'm far more open-minded in music than any other kid in this forum.").
Also, you've been on MS for long enough to know that some metalstormers tease and taunt... Calm down, Iaberis ! And remember that each and everyone metalhead in this fucking world is intimately sure that he hold the truth about what is metal and what is not...

we can accept a different position - liking ministry or not - however your classification is flat out wrong. i am honestly sorry you are so wrapped up in yourself and how "metal" you are that you cannot admit you were wrong.

frankly, i couldn't really give a flying fuck at a rolling donut whether or not you like Psalm 69.

it's your "i know more than you" and "maybe you reach my level" cocky attitude. it's pathetic. even moreso when you are WRONG.

understand this, oh egotistical one, no matter how much you think you know about anything, there is always someone who knows more than you do.

learn to accept your errors, learn what you can from them, and move forward.
