Title: MMJ RIP-OFF in CSI commercial
Post by: aMD on Oct 11, 2007, 10:05 PM
apparently there was a commercial for CSI that featured a cover version of "I Will Be There When You Die".  I didn't see it, my wife did, but she said it was an awful, creed-esque version.  :-/

anyone know the actual band?  anyone else catch the commercial?

Found it. It's not a cover. It's some other song, which completely rips the "I Will Be There When you Die" chorus. . plag-iar-ism.

Thanks for tracking it down.  That's worse than I imagined.  Seroiously, the band's management ought to sue.

The song is apparently "Rise" by talentless wretch Will Dailey.  His debut album is out now.  This is a direct quote from his page on contactmusic.com:

Dailey shows his eclectic influences, from Tom Waits to early Rod Stewart, while conveying a sound that is fresh and contemporary and, as one reviewer stated, "You hear a long forgotten master being channeled here."

Channeled.  Hmmmmmmmm

This sucks!  I'm more offended by how much that song sucks, than I am that he jacked the song.  I mean I understand wanting to tap into Jim's amazingness, but atleast do it tastfuly.  What a no talent ass-clown! We need to do something about this.  Plus, this guy looks like a d-bag!

I emailed management about it just to make sure they knew.  We don't need to bombard them with emails about it, as I said, I just wanted to make sure they were aware.  I'll let you all know if I hear anything.

Definitely treading in plagiarism territory--so thinly veiled too.  What a hack >:(

He has a song called "Bi polar baby".......is he a wax fang fan to?

I don't really think that song sounds anything like "I Will Be There When You Die"  or My Morning Jacket in general well, besides the line "I Will Be There When You Rise"  :-/  It sounds more like James Blunt having but sex with Jack Johnson or something.

I agree. Sounds nothing like it.

I thinks everyone need to calm down. Music is continually ripped off.

Sounds like people are more offended by how terrible the music is than that it might sound like MMJ. Rightfully so!

Personally, I think this dipshit is guilty on both counts -- plagiarism and douchebaggery.

No big deal though; I doubt Jim or any of the guys will sweat this one too much.

I don't know how you can say that.  Granted, the music is horrible and the rest of the song, what we can hear of it, is different but the "hook", the part that is repeated twice in the 30 second commercial is nearly identical to "i will be there when you die" lyrically AND melodically.
