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..

:thumbsup:

The way it ends with "and let's ROCK!" gets me excited for the song that follows as well.

Jellyfish

I like the song,CC said they credit the original on the album.That's enough for me.I am looking forward to this release more than any release they have had since Z.Both songs I have heard from it sound great to me.
The fact that my hearts beating
is all the proof you need

The DARK

Awesome song. The fact that it's a reimagining of Thai pop is wild and just goes to show how much great music we're missing out on all over the world. Yim has a crazy creative mind. :thumbsup:
In another time, in another place, in another face

Agreed, agreed, and agreed.

The song is crazy.  And I love it.  So awesome.  It completely got stuck in my head from just listening to the sample.  I was like just kinda humming the noise of it cuz I had/have no idea what the lyrics are.  I cannot wait to buy it later on tonight so I can listen to it properly.

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.

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
Well, my point is simply that we haven't read any liner notes indicating it is indeed a cover.   Only for the sake of argument, lets assume its a Jim James credited composition once its released?  I too not trying to be a dick, and I get your logic.    This is all kinda like Highly Suspicious last time.  Except the credits.

So does anybody want to take a crack at the lyrics?  It seems like Lucifer is in it quite a bit.

Catching waves on Lucifer's beach
Taking shade underneath Lucifer's trees
Getting sustenance from Lucifer's beach/peach?
Oh black metal it's a ?? speech?

dave.. i agree.. kind of shitty.. and also you have to "like" their facebook page to even listen to the track.. good promotional tactic though..

i just knew that from the 3rd time i listened to the song i had to have it on a CD and blaring in my car speakers as soon as possible..

ralph

Im just making up my own version in my head!

"Im holdin' on to black metal, do-be-do-be-do-be-do..."

insert killer guitar solo here

"black metal is cool to hold onto, do-be-do-be-doo-wah-wah-oh-yeah-baby..."

Im sure Im pretty close!
At my house, we call them uh-ohs.

You don't have to have Facebook to listen.  I don't have Facebook.  Just scroll down the page a little ways, and in the like comments section there is a little square and you can click there and listen to the track in its entirety.  It's the second thing down after all the dates are listed.  The first thing is a youtube video and the second square thing is the song if you click it.

ralph

Awesome Brother Beck! Listening now!
At my house, we call them uh-ohs.

So is the consensus that this song will indeed be available for purchase tonight at midnight? Or is it one of those wait until tomorrow morning type deals?
