Me taking the lines from Slug wasn't stealing... It was paying homage to him and making it symbolic.
It's not a cover, it's a remix. I kept the same emotion because the song has one emotion, anger. I recently broke up with my girlfriend so I'm pretty sure it's going to have the same idea, that's why I used it.
I don't see how it's fucked up to release it as a single, you just took the whole concept of the song wrong and the idea of what I was doing. Listen again and realize what the point of the song was.
But thanks for the feedback, not everyone is going to like it and I accept that. I just don't like when people don't get the point of what I was doing when it was clearly obvious.
It's 'paying homage' by making your song a carbon-copy of his, then naming it a single and saying it's a 'remix'?And how is it a remix if you didn't 'remix' the song with your own flavor? You didn't 'remix' it, you just copied it... Therefore, a cover with a few different lyrics.
A lot of different artists portray emotion in different ways.. You completely copied his tone entirely.. from the sarcastic/angry/whining voice, to the high pitched voice..
The point of the song was what? I'm not arguing that you shouldn't have made the song. I'm arguing that completely copying his and naming it a 'remix', then making it the single for whatever low-rent project you're pursuing, is kinda lame.
I get the point of what you were doing, I just don't agree with it. It's principle.
Well then I guess we agree to disagree? LOL.
