not one of my fav's off the new one(mainly because it's too long),
but it's still pretty cool. I don't know how i could compare it to
older stuff though, i've been a ministry fan for about a month(in fact,
i'm seeing them this thursday in Cleveland:) Anyway, this song consists
of 6 simple riffs. I can't really give you the order though, the riffs
are so similar it's hard to tab out the exact order for the riffs. As
in all songs made in the 90's, it has a ton of effects, and it doesn't
sound too good unless you have a band backing you or some cool
effects.The song is in standard tuning.

this is the order as i know: most of the time he alternates riff1 and
riff2, and he throws in a riff3 everyonce in a while.Riff4 is used when
he goes into or come out of a verse.(i consider the verse the part when
he's singing). Riff5 is used when they have the sample going, and riff6
follows right after riff5.
that's it.check out all my ministry tabs-filth pig,lava, and coming
soon, the game show.I'll tab even more when i get more tapes.
