I'm in high school again in the middle of the night watching Headbanger's Ball. Idk if that was still on when this came out, but that's how it feels listening to this.

[sharktooths]

This is my favorite "romantic" song. It explains so much.

[corgangreen]

This is one of the greatest covers ever

Ministry, one of the most incredible bands i ever heard. I used to watched all them videos on MTV in the 90's.
I'm from Argentina, San Juan.
I miss the old rock music, industrial, hard rock, punk, grunge. I wanna go back to those times but i'm happy because i lived that era with bands like this.

3:15-3:25 ---that transition gets me EVERY time.

The lead singer of ministry deserves an award he's been rocking since I was born in 1990 he's still rocking He's King

This cover is pure genius. It lacks nothing. The raw edginess is right on. It just grinds, you just can't get enough. I bet Bob likes it.⚡

[illcryst]

Hands down the best cover of all time, i wouldnt expect anyrhing less from the best music / rock producer of all time. Thanks al 🍻😁

One of the best covers ever. Filth Pig is an utter masterpiece. It’s wholly underrated, under appreciated & overlooked. Every track is good which is rare. Most albums have a song or two that suck. Not Filth Pig. You can listen to it from beginning to end. This is industrial-metal-nu rock but it has so much soul & feeling. One of my favorite Ministry songs & its a somg I put in many of my playlists. The guitar work sends shivers down my spine.

[anniesok]

That bass is like warm butter in my ears.

[Gislene]

Thrilling, haunting, melancolic, perfect.

[juliannah]

I looked for this song for YEARS, since I was a kid of maybe 12. Took me until my late 20s to finally find it! Best cover ever.

[ashlee]

When I listen to this song, so do my neighbors.

[squelchtone]

2022 and this song is still a banger! I could listen to it on repeat all day.

[sarahssatanictemple]

I am a Dylan fan and I love this cover, very excellent, and nice to hear Metal bands cover old songs like this.

[David_a_journeyman_curmudgeon]

This song haunts me. First heard it in May of 1996; father was dying of cancer. Horrible time.
That behind me, I've been engaged in a Ministry revival.
These guys have been around for some time now. Great band.

Man, this brings me back. I was in the military and had come back from my second tour in Iraq. I developed a lot of problems and was still in the military for a long time. Spent countless nights drinking and reliving the bad shit. Blasted this song and the entire album on repeat for what seemed like years. I was able to move past much of it but always reminds me of that dark period, but in a good way.

[rufusandegbert]

Anyone else notice how the lyrics of this Ministry cover take a menacing turn towards the end? Instead of Dylanʻs lines "Why wait any longer for the one you love, when heʻs standing in front of you?", Al barks out "Why wait any longer for the one you love, when heʻs standing OVER you?" Chilling.

[sovaine]

Enormous bass and sound, play it late at night after a few light ales etc in the dark it really does take you to another dimension of existence....massive respect for covering a classic song in an original way...there is no way anyone can cover an original song in the intended way it was written, so do it your way simple as that...this is EPIC:-)
