VH1 Classic "The Alternative"

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Just checked out the new VH1 Classic 2 hour video show that premiered tonight. It was hosted by Al Jourgenson from Ministry. I don't know if there will be a guest host every episode or not, I doubt it. Check your local times. It also starts airing during the week. Some videos that I can recall, I TIVOED it for later editing,were as follows: Rev. Horton Heat,Gary Numan,KMFDM,Front 242,Wolfgang Press,Helmet,Echo & The Bunnymen,
 Ministry,Jesus & Mary Chain and Spacemen 3 to name a few......not bad for commercial T.V....

Damn, what time are those supposed to come on? That woulda been a great one to see. Hopefully they'll rerun it.

They actually played a Spacemen 3 video on VH1.  That is great.  Which video was it?  Now, hopefully the book:  Dreamweapon by Erik Morse will actually come out in August.

Damn! Times like this, I wish that I had cable tv.   :roll:

I imagine it was most likely Hypnotized from Recurring which is a great psychedelic video.  It used to be online somewhere.  Here is a link to a short BBC2 interview with Sonic and Jason after they split discussing the recording of Recurring:  http://www.spacemen3.co.uk/video/rapido.ram

Well that narrows it down to about 30 songs.

I still think "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" is some of the best live music I have. I remember in 1992, Ministry were so damn badass. My English teacher told me he saw them open for Roxy Music in 1982 I think in Chicago. ten years later, Ministry headlined there with Helmet. Talk about a change in musical direction.
