Regarding Ministry, you pretty much did most of the work on ‘Double Tap.’
Quirin: Yeah, I wrote the music for ‘Double Tap’ in…I want to say 2007. It was actually intended to be on The Last Sucker, but it just didn’t end up on that record. So we kind of just held onto the song and put it on Relapse.
I figured that was the case. Al and Paul have always been ones to recycle ideas that they didn’t use the first time around.
I assume it would have had different lyrics in 2007, but I guess we’ll never know.
What I wonder about this new record is, if this was all Mikey’s idea and the whole thing came out of Al jamming with Mikey, etc. why is he credited so little on this album? That just doesn’t seem to add up. Did he come up with all sorts of killer stuff that just forced Al to make a record and then Al brought in these other guys and wrote a new record discarding it? Or is that story just bull?
