JESUS BUILT MY HOTROD
“Jesus Built My Hotrod” is a 1991 single by Ministry. The track features a driving beat and speed metal guitar work which backs Butthole Surfers’ singer Gibby Haynes’ gonzo vocal stylings. It is notable for its polyrhythmic structure with the guitar riff in 5/4 and the drums in 4/4. According to Al Jourgensen’s autobiography, the single sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide.
