Adios... Puta Madres: Ministry Final World Tour

I have been a fan of Ministry since their very first album "With Sympathy". I have every VHS (Live - in case you didn't feel like showing up, Tapes of wrath and Sphinctour). I would like to see Jourgensen return to his synth pop days and rework classics like "Effigy". This DVD is excellent 5 stars. I didn't purchase their most recent CD so it gave me a chance to catch up on their new material. The band is a totally new lineup and Paul Barker is no longer the bass player. Their music has changed but they are still full of energy and enthusiasm. Their new lead guitar player is excellent. My favorite song on the DVD is "The Last Sucker". The DVD is a two disc set with the first backstage interviews. My only critisism is that Al has turned into a lush and boasts about his drinking and getting plastered at bars. I guess it is better than being a Heroin addict. He even spills wine on the equipment during the start of the set. Al, get even better at your art by joining AA. You will find there is still a lot more work you can do and this may not be the final world tour. Al's face is bloated now from alcohol consumption and he smokes cigarettes. Al please get help! We want you to stick around for ever. The DVD I got from Amazon.com came with a personal note from Al indicating the first 4,000 issues are collector's items because of a mistake on the discs which I assume has been corrected now. Highly recommended.

If you don't like ministry post paul barker, you probably won't like this... and you should steer away, but if you do.... then well...worthwhile having.

I have been a fan of Ministrys since "With Sympathy" and i grew as they did into harder music. I love the trip as a Ministry fan went on. We went from pop to what became industrial to what became industrial metel to Metel. And this DVD is the final show for us fans. What an amazing show it is. Great choice of songs, thoe i would of liked to seen them try to rework some very early stuff off say "Twitch" , just for guys like me that have followed them for so long, but they do do a few oldies and rock out with songs like "Breath" and "stigmata". Its a great show and great way of saying good by to one of Americas great bands. For me i often wonder if it wasnt for Ministry and wax trax would there be a NIN or KMFDM. Hmmm i kinda doont think so; but who cares we have them and it was a great Ministry ride and the final show is a great testement to there power.The added bihind the scenes dvd is fun also, to acually see footage of Al at work, even if the work is a bottle of wine. Good studff all around. If your a Ministry fan this is a must. If not well then why are you reading this.

If your a Ministry fan you cant help but like it..I've been one since 85 and im a head bangin mosh pit slammin old dude. So you young pit stains will love it.. Reguardless! if your a Ministry fan you have to have it.. Nothing bad to say about this DVD or the Documentary Bonus DVD. Oh and Al's planning a Comeback Tour. You can read about it on the bands main site or their FB fan site..Later Knuckleheads.

First and foremost...this is Ministry live. If you've never seen them (even if you have)...buy it now. From someone who has seen them live several times, they are unquestionably one of the most intense and aggressive bands in the business. That said, I was severely disappointed with Adios. Now...read on.Ministry and Al Jourgensen have put together only two live tour dvd's: Sphinctour and this release, Adios...Puta Madres. Beginning with Twitch, The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and all of the singles in between, I have been a Ministry fan since the beginning - I am 28. The Sphinctour DVD covered all of those albums. Songs like Stigmata, Thieves and So What...were brought to life by that world tour dvd. It was produced (technically by Luxa/Pan) with an incredibly raw attitude and life. You could watch that dvd and feel as though you were actually there in each location they shot: Paris, Toronto, Los Angeles, Venice, Hamburg, London, et al. Each song was pounded out in its own improvisational rhythm and time... Just as it would be in any nightclub or amphitheater. Songs like "Crumbs" and "Lava" sounded better live then they did on the album just because the guys kicking it out on stage were giving it their own emotional twist for that particular moment...and it totally made it.Adios...Puta Madres is not Sphinctour. In fact it falls way short. Now, the music is good. Very good. Songs like "Let's go" and "Lies Lies Lies" sound incredible and you are totally sold on the live element. But...the dvd is shot in basically two places...in basically the same fashion as the tracks you hear on the album. Having been to several Ministry concerts, I was left feeling totally cheated by what I was watching. Again, I will never complain about the music, it's incredible. But the way in which it was presented was anticlimactic given the music that was being played. It was shot more as a music video...not a live concert. Of course I don't know, but I have to believe that at least some portion of this has to do with band turnover, which was commonplace with Jourgensen. Particularly the absence of Paul Barker. Compared to the emotion and passion with which Sphinctour was created, Adios looks like the warm up act.Do I recommend this item to Ministry fans? Abso-freeking-lutely. Is it as good as Sphinctour? No F'ing way. But then again, in my opinion, Ministry's (Jourgensen's) song writing abilities went downhill as their/his political ideoligies increased. Houses of the Mole was awesome. Rio Grande Blood...well Senor Peligro is one of the best songs Jourgensen has ever produced. But The Last Sucker? C'mon man. Your political ideals got in the way of an epic career. With Sympathy, Twitch, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, The Land of Rape and Honey, Psalm 69, even The Dark Side of the Spoon (which, in my opinion is their best ever album) are so much better then what they ended with.

Al, mi amigo. Come on, man! One more tour!! I know Obama's given you enough material to create another tour!!! Drones, wire-tapping, IRS scandal, etc... Uno mas tiempo, porfavor!!This is a great disk set. There will never be another band like Ministry. Absolute aggression meets magic. If you haven't seen this you are missing out.

This is one of my favorite DVD's ever! Great compilation of the baddest songs ever! It Badass!!

El DVD es zona 1 pero mi reproductor de DVD marca DAEWOO comprado en México lo lee sin probmas. Por cierto vienen 2 discos. La parte del concierto y extras.

Great final tour of Ministry,and a good souvenir for my collection,because I saw Ministry tree times.

アル・ジュールゲンセン(vo,g)　シン・クイリン(g)　トミー・ヴィクター(g)　ジョン・バックデル(key)　トニー・カンポス(b)　アーロン・ロッシ(dr)Ministry活動休止直前…2008年に行われたファイナルライヴを収めたDVD。2009年発売。Ministryのライヴ映像作品としては、1996年の「Sphinctour」以来の2作目となる。ステージと客席の間にはダイブ対策なのかそういう演出なのか金網が張られており、メンバーのアップ時にいちいちそれが映り込んでしまうのが少々うっとうしい。しかしライヴ自体は非常に充実した濃い内容。「The Last Sucker」に伴うツアーということで、比較的新しめの「反ブッシュ3部作」からの曲が多め。ライヴ中盤の「No W」「Rio Grande Blood」「Senor Peligro」の疾走曲3連発はかなり熱い。アンコールで「N.W.O.」「Just One Fix」「Thieves」といった昔の曲をやってくれるのも嬉しい。アルはいつもの通り、トレードマークである丸いサングラスを着用。オジー・オズボーンなんかもそうだが、丸いグラサンは見る者にうさんくさい印象を与えるのに最適のアイテムである。ただアルの場合は、その丸メガネの奥から除く猛禽のように鋭い眼光が強烈すぎ。

Llego en perfectas condiciones muy buen material 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
