Jimmy Iovine about Making Movies Recordings

[boboDS]

I'v read them 3 times to be sure....and did'nt find any mention of Sid

No way    I mean, I was so sure it was there! I am going to check it now to see, but I am telling you, I remeber reading it there!

[boboDS]

Ha, new it was there!   

But wrong album!! 

12-14 years ago I used to listen to Making Movies or Love over Gold almost every day, reading the booklets over and over again. That was the only source of info I had then, so was sure I read it in a booklet.

It was the Love over Gold booklet. First page, first paragraph, last sentence.

That's the bullhittiest of bullshit if I ever saw one. Two completely different songs, two completely different artists and here's Mr Scott accusing Mark of stealing as if he single-handedly solved Kennedy's assassination. I hate shit like this. There are examples of far more similar "rip-offs" in music; most of the time, it's an accident. If it's not, it would be in court yesterday.

[quizzaciously]

So Mark ripped off not only Shakespeare but Springsteen, stole his entire sound and style verbatim from J. J. Cale and then ripped off Snowy White with "Bird Of Paradise". Why do we even have a fan forum dedicated to this musical thief?

[Robson]

I could never understand that there are opinions that BIA is similar to Bird Of Paradise.

[Love Expresso]

It's there, pretty obvious.. In the keys..

I always got the impression BIA was written somewhere in 1982, so before Bird Of Paradise was released... Either way, this Scott guy is too aggressive in accusing Mark of theft, as if Mark killed his pet fish or something. He's obviously a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan, and all the music on Earth seems to come from Mr Springsteen according to him.

[Love Expresso]

I didn't care about that guy and wouldn't call it a ripp-off but the synth melody is more or less the same. It's just one Motif, the song itself is totally different.

I think so too, but I like The Waterboys

I've heard many people claim that Springsteen ripped off Andy Summers' riff from Message in a Bottle for Radio Nowhere, so I guess he's even.

I don't put much stock in this stuff myself.

Yep, the middle 8 in particular.

Chris W played on The Whole of the Moon, maybe Mike has heard about the hell that was the OES tour and holds a grudge against MK.

No it is not the police, it is certainly a copy paste case from this minor hit.

But it is only the riff, like R&J.

And anyway, too much talk about R&J which is not my favourite DS song, to begin with. Probably overplayed it in 1989...
