the setlist was worse than the tool setlist. not a single song pre 2005 except for nwo as a second encore. then a rolling stones cover at which point i left. very disappointed i might add. - Sun, 30 Mar 2008 8:47pm

I agree. I went to the Croatian show and the same thing - except for playing Theives it was all new stuff. Not how they touted the tour as being a hit tour. I wasn't impressed at all. The Revco show two years ago was much better. - Sun, 30 Mar 2008 10:08pm

Yeah, it felt like the phoned it in, even when they played the three songs pre 2005 (New World Order, Just One Fix, and Thieves) the bands energy leverl wes pretty lacking.

I suppose it's a good thing they're packing it in, too bad really. - Sun, 6 Apr 2008 4:57pm

I saw both bands last year and THOROUGHLY enjoyed both, so I didn't want to risk wrecking it by attending this. Seemed like a bit of a circus with 2 such busy bands on the same bill. It kinda smelled of a big money grab rather than 2 bands complimenting one another. Maybe I've got it all wrong though. I just remember Meshuggah t's being $40 and my friend being offended. He bought one after they played though cuz they were UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!

I heard they played a much longer set at the Comm.
I'm very sorry it wasn't good for you guys.. what a waste. - Mon, 7 Apr 2008 7:41pm Edited: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 7:43pm

well i was at the commodore and i also saw em last time around ......i thought it was over all better last time but this time was also quite good
the only thing about the minisrty set was that they played a couple of lame lesser known songs and didnt play Burning Inside or The Deity or Sigmata those were what i wanted to see....they do an absolutely slammin version of Roadhouse Blues then they played Just Got Paid by ZZ Top and fininshed the set with under my thumb and dropped ballons from the ceiling
call that cheesy but i think it was a nice light hearted way to end the night and the band forever
also coulda done without the chain link fence in front of the band even though it was classic Ministy it was in the way i thought
i didnt enjoy mesuggah i found it quite boring
theres more to music than technical ability ....i didnt hear any songs in there... singer was damn anoying with only one note and same phrasing all the time
i dont get it i guess
if you like em you can have em
and i actually enjoy the new album of covers by ministry and friends called 'cover up'
im sure it will get slammed on the internet though .....
oh well fuck ya if ya cant take a joke i always say

Mike - I liked Messhugah, you could tell they were doing an opening set rather then their own but it was still great.

Sati: it wasn't a BAD show, they didn't do anything wrong. They were tight and pretty on point but a couple things kept the show form being "legendary"

1) as CC said the chain link fence on stage added one more level of distance between the band and crowd
2) they really didn't play any of their classics. As cool as the 3 song cover set was at the end of the show I would have WAY rathered see them play some older stuff.
3) they're an industrial band at hart and really don't have huge stage presence, and didn't pull out a massive light show to compensate.

I'm still glad I went since I managed to miss them every other time they had played a gig arround these parts =). - Mon, 7 Apr 2008 8:37pm
