Concert Review: Ministry, Backstage Werk, Munich, 08/08/2016 by Alex Bock

August 11, 2016

Just one band was announced for that night and that was Ministry. A rare guest on our stages, therefore a lot of people were expected. About an hour before show start the venue was still really quiet. Oftentimes people come later for the shows, since there’s 98 out of 100 times opening bands and some just come for the headliners. But at around 8 pm the venue was packed and by 8.15 pm the photo pit was full and everyone was excited for Ministry. Behind the drums, which were set on a riser, was a big screen showing images throughout the whole show. One by one the band members entered the stage, when finally Al Jourgensen came, with a black mask for the first few minutes of ‘Hail’. That night they played 18 songs with two short breaks towards the end, marking the encores. One of them was a cover song called ‘Gates Of Steel’ from the band Devo. Al said they were tired of playing Ministry songs, so they chose this one and he [Read More]

Tuesday night at AT&T Park in San Francisco was a magical one. It was time for legendary rockers Guns N Roses to perform their  “San Francisco date for Not In This Lifetime Tour“.

The official Guns N Roses Not In This Lifetime Merch truck was there early and gave everyone a chance to pick up their favorites before the show.
