VH1 Classic "The Alternative"
July 12, 2004 at 05:24 AM UTC
#
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….

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.

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:

I LOVE that song! Wow!
From the other bands listed, it seems like I am going to have to start taping this show. :)

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.

I wonder if Guiny realizes that Al Jorgenson is a big country music fan?

Looks like my TIVO picked up tonight's program at 11:00 a.m. VH1 tends to do that……run the evenings "premiere" during the day….so,it will still be on at 11:00 p.m. also….it was all new from Sunday night and only 1 hour instead of 2….here are some artists as I zoomed thru the new one….Love & Rockets,The Smiths,Modern English,Bjork,Afghan Wigs,Camper Van Beethoven,Translator,Ultra Vivid Scene,Hunters & Collectors and KRAFTWERK! Damn…..
