i disagree... bands stream new music all the time but dont say "hey if you preordered this download the leak, we don't care."

But we're not talking about a leak. We're talking about legitimate downloads on Amazon and iTunes. Why should someone pay 99 cents or a buck 29 for it if they've already pre-ordered the album? Doesn't that seem redundant?

Yea but just because they don't come out and say it doesn't mean they don't feel that way.

Folks relax! Whether this is sampled or a cover, or a cover of a riff, it doesn't matter. The aforementioned Zeppelin analogy is accurate. Any one here ever hear of the Grateful Dead? Like the song Morning Dew? Research it. Going Down the Road Feeling Bad? Samething.....they are traditional songs, made their own by the Dead.

Not one person has read a writing credit or liner note on this song....yet some crazy shit is being posted.

If I pre ordered the album, I get it on may 31. If I'm impatient, I can pick my belly button to see if I've got $1 stashed in there or not and then scratch the itch

e_wind · Apr 25, 2011, 06:10 PM

i don't know what that means... but yeah 1$ ain't a fortune and if they wanted to give it to you they would've.

Man, parts of this thread are like someone peeing on my slice of cake. I've been jazzed about the tune all day.

I got drunk the other night and thought the whole album was coming out on May 1st...then it occured to me it was the 31st - I peed on my own cake then.

For bands that I really like, I don't mind paying a little bit extra to hear stuff early or get some extra stuff. So yeah, it's like buying the song twice, but I am definitely gonna go on my computer later on after midnight and buy this track from Amazon or iTunes or whoever has it because I am impatient and I want to hear it now. A little bit of the money eventually goes to the boys in MMJ, so it's all good.

HAHAHA! ;D

Tensions be risin' come new release time!

I hope when the album is released there is a separate 'Circuital-bashing' thread that I will not take part in.

Well, someone has a lot of explaining to do before I go out and buy anything or stay home and buy anything on line or eat any cake

Sticky Icky Green Stuff · Apr 25, 2011, 06:37 PM

the song is straight bitchin. love it.

buymycar · Apr 25, 2011, 06:41 PM

Is this the official first single from Circuital? Or was Circuital the official first single from Circuital? I'm all confused.

rusty95 · Apr 25, 2011, 07:01 PM

I can't stop listening to this, it gets better every rip. Dance Party U.S.A comin' to the Palace. woot :D

K, I'm going to fix me a drink

not trying to be a dick or anything, i don't mind either way about this MMJ song, i think it's cool, but the GD comparison is way off.

Morning Dew was on GD's first album which was pretty much all covers or traditional songs. As far as I know, this is the only "cover" on the new MMJ disc, so there is quite a difference

or not...I prefer not.

Cheers!

Big disappointment if this is a track on the album compared to circuital which i really love. Hopefully the mix is better as well, i can barely understand what they are saying as the sound is just off. Im as big as a fan as they get as i was at all 5 nights in nyc but just not feeling this one.

Huh? They are both on the album.

Its no big deal to sample things in hip hop and rap, but the second a band like this does it its WATCH OUT! Plagiarism! :o So many songs are completely unoriginal....at least MMJ managed to make a memorable song out of doing it.

e_wind · Apr 25, 2011, 07:41 PM

I'm starting to get tired of people saying anything about them sampling this. We get it, they sound the same, embrace it.

darkglow · Apr 25, 2011, 07:48 PM

i can't believe there's so much controversy going down on what is a really badass song.. the band is obviously paying hommage to an influence.. they aren't using a pre-recorded sample.. they're simply covering it somewhat and adding their own vibe to it..

i don't get it... people can rock out at an MMJ show full of fun covers and such and never bitch about how MMJ is unjustly claiming rights to it.. hell some people have even gone so far as to postulate that the reason for a T5 box set not happening is because of the royalties that the band would have to pay to bands that own the rights to songs they covered during the run.

Riny clearly stated that the band acknowledges the band who originally wrote the riff

again.. this song is honest to god rock and roll and i can't believe that there are some people whining and finding things negative to say about it.

go out and get yourself laid... get outside and enjoy some nice weather.. do something to cheer you up and get your mind right before may 31st..

otherwise.. kinda STFU and keep the negativity away from my favorite forum on the internet for 7 years running..

P.S. no i'm not being one of those that think that MMJ can do no wrong..

darkglow · Apr 25, 2011, 07:49 PM

P.P.S. i think the band makes enough and would make enough from a T5 release to pay and acknowledge the artists' they covered during that week..
