Al’s statement on this website about his style changes regarding this album and the bands sound in general.
"Prior to starting work on the next album, Al mentioned that he “came
when he picked up a guitar and played around with it”. He knew all about guitars
was but never used one in a while. He was amazed
by the instrument’s power and this influenced the next album’s sound:
The Land Of Rape And Honey. " http://www.prongs.org/minfiles/faq/faq.html#influences
Is a LIE!
One night at Trax Studio in Chicago, while partying with Al, I gave him the sound while he layed a drum track. This can be verified by Terry Bones, and Jerry Rogers (old roadie , and how I met Al).
although I never asked for any recognition or monetary compensation (yet), it rubs me the wrong way to see Al lie to his fans.
And you are?
Maybe you should put this fascinating information in a book.
i dont think there is enough material in my statement to fill an entire book or even a short story. But thanks for the support. i had a hardcore band in the 80’s called Scarred for life in Chicago Al had a house around the corner from wax trax records. He use to rent his basement to a dominatrix named Viva deMilo. We would go over there and do lines, drink beer, and laugh at the creepy old f@&#ers for paying $500 an hour to lick her boots. I’m Big Vince from Chicago.
“Do ya know what would go great here? A hard Metallica sounding chainsaw sounding guitar.” And Al said “Can you get a guitar?” So I did.
didn’t you notice he stopped wearing dresses and the sound of his band changed from disco to techno speed core kind of all of a sudden? o yea i am also in his first mtv video filmed in Medusas i am the bald guy.
All right, then. I’m sold.
So, how much do you figure that career-changing contribution of yours is worth?
i seriously think you’re missing the point.
why are you representing ministry or maybe Mr Jeorgunsen’s attorney i could send u my #
i seriously think you’re missing the point.
My apologies. You claim to have given Ministry “its sound” and then said you haven’t sought monetary compensation YET. I figured this implied that you would be seeking compensation.
Please clarify what the point is if I’m missing it.

No. I’m not representing anyone here. Just myself. I’m merely a fan responding to a post you made on a public forum. I don’t need to have any legal involvement in your case and don’t need your phone #. Best of luck with your pursuits. Sir.
Funny, I thought the amazing thing about LORAH was the guitar sounding bits were done without any real guitars, just keys and distortion.
terry bones played guitar for ministry from like 86 - 94.

A Terry excerpt from above:
I left when it got a little to METAL for me.I left around 1993 or 94
HAHA!! I guess we won’t be seeing him back in Ministry any time soon.
that just proves he wasn’t a puppet or gay. HA HA HA!

I wouldn’t say his sound changed “all of the sudden”. His sound got a bit harder album to album. The Wax Trax singles sounded like a mixture of With Sympathy and Twitch, and The Land of Rape And Honey sounded like a mixture of Twitch and the following album, Mind. It is clear evolution.
I want to say that, according to Chris Connelly’s book, Terry Bones didn’t join until the Mind… tour and that he was a moron who was about to get arrested for rape until Al sweet talked the cops into letting him go.
However, I can’t seem to find the book on my shelf (!!!) so I can’t look that up right now.

Apparently, Terry Bones . . . . without consent.

That was written about in the book But I’ll be damned If I can remember who the musician was.
Late,

I believe Chris referred to him as Terry Brains.
No mystery. Al takes credit for everyone else’s work. Ask anyone. This is not new. Never was. Drugs are not the excuse.
