[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9386208, member: 19675"] [USER=7028579]@Smackpixi[/USER] Time has apparently addled my recollection a bit. 1) To be 100% fair, what The Verve did [I]was not[/I] an uncredited sample, but more accurately an homage. And- amusingly- it does actually involve “The Four Horsemen”…and another song from 666, namely “Altamont.” The title of The Verve’s “The Rolling People” ones from the lyrics of that second song. The ending vocalizations, drums, & riff from AC’s “The Four Horsemen” (above) were emulated to close The Verve’s song: [MEDIA=youtube]GQNxSTFf6zQ[/MEDIA] 2) ALSO in the interests of transparency & fairness, I did not have to actually dig in my CD mine to answer this. While I eventually found the actual music on YouTube (obviously), I also searched for discussions on this trivia online. I found it mentioned on only [B]two[/B] sites, near the bottom of a page of Google results. One had a head-to head comparison of the songs…but it was a ghost site. The videos didn’t play, and the user comments section was empty. The second was a deep review of The Verve and contexualizing [I]Urban Hymns [/I]within their discography. The discussion of “The Rolling People” was buried almost at the end of the article. All that said, I’ll still stand by my assertion that the Stones’ lawsuit probably prevented “The Rolling People” from getting released. It’s a solid song, IMHO, better than some of the other songs from that album that had videos and got radio & TV airplay. But it’s easy to imagine that record label execs would be gunshy about releasing a song with an obvious relation to someone else’s music having just lost in court over a similar situation. [/QUOTE]
