(Giving Ground)
http://www.myspace.com/thegraykid
song: "Soothsayer"
Check it out if you don't believe me.
If David Bowie can sue Vanilla Ice....this Grey Kid needs a wake up call from Andrew. (Even though Grey Kid's cover of Timberlake's 'Sexy Back' song (Paxilback), was pretty funny and well done.)
GreyKid's fans were born after the 80's...They wouldn't know the Sisterhood if Andrew personally steel-toe booted them in the face.
Sigh. *shakes middle-aged goth fist*

Oh, welcome by the way Kuroneko!
And tho I see the blatant rip-off, maybe he legally used the sample.
A lot of R&B'ers and hiphoppers are willing to pay for well-known samples (Timbaland, EMINEM,...) to use them in their repertoire. Tho calling Giving Ground 'well-known' is stretching it a bit
Anyway, I kinda like this new take... it sounds kinda fresh. Tho very VERY loud
IZ.

Do you think Eldo gives a f**k about this mp3-artist? Only if the Wembley Arena winks, Eldo crawls out the cave.
Bye the way, who needs a call?
Von removed producer John Ashton kindly fom the sleeve of the Alice-single (according to the Furs biography Beautiful Chaos) and ripped the Furs' chorus (that guitar part) of Alice's House for This Corrosion.
And all the grey kid needs is a good producer, further on it's not that bad. I prefer hiphop instead of pale goth s**t. And know what? I can also imagine it's... a coincedence.

The kid talks too much. Take care of that.

I think you are reaching a little with the Furs reference!

I've heard worse. I should have done it myself.
In fact, I might.

trunk-wobbling anthems and ballads of love and lust
Am I the only one who thinks Von might approve?

it doesn't sound like a sample to me- just a plain rip-off. however, as has been said, hip-hop exists on the back of other people's music. still don't like it.

No, I agree with you, and he kinda says it in this interview
