  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.

riff 6

--7--7--7--7  uses only e-B-G strings
--8--8--8--8
--7--7--7--7

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.
