[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9384442, member: 19675"] There’s some info that simply isn’t readily available on the internet- at least, not yet. For example, it’s easily verifiable that Richard Ashcroft’s band, The Verve, were sued by The Rolling Stones for uncredited use of samples of The Stones music in The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony”. But unless you’re a music geek like me, you wouldn’t have learned that The Verve did likewise on the same album sampling a song by Aphrodite’s Child- Vangelis’ family’s band, where he got his big break. The song they sampled is on the 1972 double album [I]666[/I], and it’s not the one song that gets played by classic rock stations. It’s a deeper cut, not released as a single, so it’s one you’d pretty much have to have listened to the album to notice. And in part because of The Stones’ lawsuit, the offending song by The Verve never got released as a single either. If they had, I’m pretty confident Vangelis’ label would have gone after them just like The Stones’ attorneys did. So you’d pretty much have to play the two songs consecutively to realize it. And I’m pretty confident not many people have both. [/QUOTE]
