In 2007, this song was included in the Harmonix music video game Rock Band, exposing Coheed and Cambria to a considerably wider audience. However, the words "whore" and "fucking" were edited to "wolf" and "mucking" respectively.[6] The conclusion of the song was also edited, replacing the fade-out and the strings with a short guitar solo as the player earns the ending bonus points.
British grime and rap MC Ghetts' track "Menace" samples the "Welcome Home" riff. "Menace" appeared as track 5 on his 2007 debut studio album, "Ghetto Gospel," when the artist was still known as Ghetto. "Menace" was produced by fellow The Movement MC and producer, Scorcher.[7] The song "was widely accepted in the UK by Grime fans and seen as one of [Ghetts'] classics."[7]
