Released in 1991, the record became a landmark of Ministry's breakthrough period and remains one of their most recognisable tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extended \"Jesus Built My Hotrod (Redline\/Whiteline Version)\" dominates the A-side, driven by pounding industrial rhythms, distorted guitars, relentless sampling and the unforgettable spoken-word vocals of Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes. Built around a chaotic, engine-revving groove, the track deliberately blurs the boundaries between industrial music, metal, punk and electronic dance music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-side offers the shorter \"Short, Pusillanimous So-They-Can-Fit-More-Commercials-On-The-Radio Edit\", providing a more compact version of the track while retaining its aggressive energy. \"TV Song\" completes the release with another dose of Ministry's abrasive electronic-industrial sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single emerged from the same period as Ministry's landmark album \u003cem\u003ePsalm 69: The Way To Succeed And The Way To Suck Eggs\u003c\/em\u003e? More precisely, \u003cem\u003eJesus Built My Hotrod\u003c\/em\u003e was released during the \u003cem\u003ePsalm 69\u003c\/em\u003e era and became a major stepping stone towards that album's commercial breakthrough. Its enormous success helped introduce Ministry's extreme industrial sound to a much wider alternative-rock audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe track's unusual guest appearance by Gibby Haynes is particularly memorable. His improvised, stream-of-consciousness vocal performance gives the song much of its manic personality, while the production by Al Jourgensen and Ministry turns the performance into a pounding industrial assault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors of Ministry, industrial metal, industrial rock, Wax Trax!, alternative metal and 1990s electronic music, \u003cem\u003eJesus Built My Hotrod\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential piece of industrial-rock history and one of the genre's most instantly recognisable singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJesus Built My Hotrod (Redline\/Whiteline Version) – 8:13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJesus Built My Hotrod (Short, Pusillanimous So-They-Can-Fit-More-Commercials-On-The-Radio Edit) – 3:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTV Song – 3:12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GXCh9OhDiCI?si=Q_OOpF02HkC-fw3J\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sire Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55068110618966,"sku":"9362-40211-0","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_4e142100-b728-4cfa-a983-10b50cee4e6b.jpg?v=1787414919","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/ministry-jesus-built-my-hotrod","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
