I've been hearing All Summer Long by Kidd Rock on the radio a lot lately. Am I the only one that thinks the melody sounds a helluva lot like the melody to Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon?

TheHeretic -> RE: All Summer Long - Werewolves of London (5/17/2008 9:52:06 PM)
Sounds like a complete rip-off to me. Maybe Warren won't need to do as many Halloween shows after the lawsuit?

Doubtful... he died in 2003.

Kid Rock is the new Vanilla Ice, he hasn't written an original score to any of his songs, he just sample's others.

That obviously went under my radar...[8\|] My girlfriend won tickets to one of those 10/31 shows, back in the early 90's. Nowhere near angry enough for my tastes.

It's not a rip off, he legally sampled it, I believe, and you'll notice Sweet Home Alabama is sampled (and mentioned) there, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA He has a deep love of music, and seems pretty good about giving respect to those that came before him.

Ok, fine. The original artist is dead, and the rules of sampling cover blatant rip-offs. I'll just take my Pink Floyd cd's and go...[&o]

LOL Rich. [:D] Hmm. Actually, you bring up a good point. Off to the Polls I go...

While I'm not usually a fan of sampling there have been some that worked well. Sampling isn't stealing though unless it's not cited and credited to the original writers and performers. There are two types of copyrights in recorded music, (C) which covers the music and lyrics no matter who performs them and (P) which covers the actual recording. If music is actually produced in some form then it can by covered. There are standard fees and royalties for performing someone else's work. There are also fees and royalties to legally use someone else's actual performance (sample). Usually both have to be paid and the original owner and artists cited in order to publish a new recording using a "sample" from another. Since whoever owns the publishing and the recordings is paid and contracts signed it really can't be called stealing or ripping off -- but that doesn't imply that the sampler has any talent they just are thieves. (OMG what a long winded response to a simple post -- sorry guys)

No doubt he was smart enough to pay the royalties. I wonder why they left out the signature chicken pickin' turnaround from SHA though?

DomAviator -> RE: All Summer Long - Werewolves of London (5/18/2008 10:38:22 AM)
Yeah well I think that the settlement Avril Lavigne had to pay out for "Girlfriend" taught a lot of the industry to pay the royalties and buy the rights - even from long forgotten obscure groups. (For those who dont know there was a "nobody" group in the 70's called The Rubinoos that had a minor sucess with a song called "I want to be your boyfriend", avril changed the gender, updated the chords a litlte , and took a lawsuit right up her pretty lil ass LOL)
