THIS WASN'T 100% SERIOUS. LIGHTEN UP. Good lord. At least some people got it..

I've been a big U2 fan for 13 years now and I've seen them 11 times. When listening to PE I didn't notice any similarity between those tracks at all.

I read about it on here and still I didn't see the similarity. I still don't see any similarity. They are not the same at all IMO

abigailj said:

Actually, I still stand by the U2 riff. Simply play the track "I Will Follow" and "Guitar" together. Its very close to the same...extremely close.

Even Rolling Stone admitted it. But this isn't what the thread is about. =D

ShadeoViolet said:

I already know both tracks and listen to them alot. We will just have to agree to disagree about it.

abigailj said:

That works. I don't want to argue about Guitar. Thats actually a good song regardless.

who cares, they both copied/were influenced by a ton of other people. they're still extremely passionate about music.

ShadeoViolet said:

Guitar might be influenced by I will follow, it would be logical cause Prince often has had stated his like for u2
the same way War could be a simple tribute to echo and the bunnyman
your losing focus on things that dont really matter

mj didnt take the lovesexy guitar riff for black or white some of u prince devotees are real desperate

Its incredible that after 73 posts, someone still does not get what is going on in this thread!!!

EmbattledWarrior said:

What on earth are you talking about??!!!

You start by saying this is a generally available sample and that you have it!! I seriously doubt that - fancy sending it to me?

But then you say, "upon further anylization(sic)" they sound exactly the same (er, wasn't that what you already said, cos its a sample?), and "too alike" - what do you mean?

Finally, this whole demo thesis - not only am I not aware of Prince sending loads of demos "back in the day" to MJ, but you then reiterate that its "too alike" and then say that its different ("coma is more precise" - no, it isn't, it is EXACTLY the same) - well, which is it? You can't say all along that its a sample you have, they're exact, then imply its down to a demo Prince sent MJ in 91 and then reworked it for Musicology in 2003. For a start, the quality of this supposed sample would sound very 1991 instead of standing out like a sore thumb because of its more recent production, as it does.

For the VERY last time - some doofus at doodoofan has taken 30 seconds of ICPC and pasted it on to the end of a 1991 MJ outtake, for reasons not yet known. Seeing as their seems to be an enormous problem with people even understanding the basic premise of the situation here, I doubt we'll ever get close to a rational explanation!

Its NOT a sample - its NOT copying by either artist, its NOT a demo, its some idiot playing with a .wav file

carlcranshaw said:

yeah, but you forgot something... like how Michael named both his kids.. "PRINCE" .. uhm.. yeah ..

Mindflux said:

And yet again, thank you very much Mindflux. For the LAST time as well, I am NOT claiming Prince copied MJ ---and--- ..I am not a rabid fan of his either. Okay??! As I've already said, this is a joke, with a serious undertone which goes something like this---- Why the hell did this happen? What was the motivation for such a random, COMPLETELY strange act? In other words, what was the point?

Seems like we shall never know..

prince's Do It All Night sounds like the jackson's All Night Dancin'

Flowerz said:

Bubbles picked those names out.

Mindflux said:

except the guitar riffs on the mj track, dont match on illusion coma pimp
they're similar not the same
so is the the drum track and bass...
So somebody couldnt have just pasted it on top of it...
additionally if it was done that way, then the original track could be heard echoing in the distance...
No these two tracks are pretty much different but very alike
and if you want the sample i can send it you

Who gives a fuck about MIKE anyway he was good years ago preforming music which was largely written ,produced by somebody else! Prince loves and imbraces music from all different sorces and that includes the white fat maggot wearing a black wig so dont be so sad just enjoy music.

EmbattledWarrior said:

Wrong, in that portion it is exactly the fully produced prince track stuck in there for a few seconds (mixed in). You have to hear the one heard by the original person who posted, at the time stated.

ufoclub said:

Yep. DooDooFan.com. Audio section. "She Got It" 1:54. It IS Prince's exact track stuck on there. This is NOT a sample...seriously.

Well, at least it's not one of Prince's better songs. ICPC is a hot shit hop mess.

Mindflux said:

but I do. I'm also trying to comprehend its relevance. Similarities (or maybe even corrupt copyright) seem to be pretty frequent. I'm just saying that outing something that might of been purly influence/conincedence doesn't make the track better or bring justice to either artist.

vainandy said:

I didn't like much of the lyrics, but I thought the song was alright.
