I don’t think I ever remember this being a topic but does anyone think Al pilfered Golden Dawn to make Worm off Houses? It seems like a Bloodlines/So What type situation. I was listening to Rape & Honey the other day on the way to work and I kept waiting for the harmonica to kick in when Golden Dawn came on.

hmmm now that I’m playing them in my head, I see what you mean. never noticed that before.
I love the track Golden Dawn. one of Ministry’s most unique.
Speaking of Golden Dawn, was the beginning of the track a bunch of screeching guitars? I was surprised to learn the “guitar loop” throughout Stigmata wasn’t even a guitar!
the reason is probably the drums. but its the same as saying that bass line to “filth pig” was lifted from “golden dawn”.
in case of bloodlines, it was both, and apparently, deliberate (even the echo and other ‘dub’ feel elements).
I was surprised to learn the “guitar loop” throughout Stigmata wasn’t even a guitar!
i always had the suspicion about that one, but only about the bended note. turns out whole riff was processed or something.
as for golden dawn as well i think it has a loop recorded from bass guitar and then in a few places it got chopped up (starts from different point, repeats halves of itself twice before returning to ‘normal’, etc) but it might have been some sort of keyboard bass as well, kind of like how “Just Like You” has. destruction definately. turns out that whole story about al returning to the guitar on that album was sort of untrue, cuz the whole fuckin LORAH is electronic…
