So different from nowadays where artists literally steal songs without giving it a second thought. They now call song theft interpolating. It’s where artists mix two different songs, often don’t give the original artist credit, and call it their own. Miley Cyrus did this with an Inxs song and Olivia Newton John song, mixed them together and change the lyrics. Rick Beatto did a great video on this trend.
Yeah, I saw that too. Rick is a great musician and I share his perspective on "interpolation." It's a giant thumb to the nose of actual musicians to have their music stolen, and then the musicians who have more money to spend on lawyers determine what is defined as stealing music. Though once lawyers get involved the only people who make money on the outcome are the lawyers. Boo to Interpolation in all its forms. ☮️
@@jaymzb.1713 interpolating is legalized theft. Prince noticed certain similarities between Purple Rain and Faithfully, and asked Journey to listen to it to make sure there would be no issues. Johnathan Cain being the stand up guy that he is said they were two different songs, which they are. But it goes to show how far we’ve come. Similar chord structure and an artist in the 80’s runs it by the other artist. Artists in the 2020’s blatantly steal whole choruses from two different songs, change the lyrics and call it their own. Shameful.
@@marcwhite9234 Not only is it shameful, but it's also an underhanded business practice. Interpolation of existing artists work is wholesale stealing from someone else, not the entire work, just enough to cut the original artist out of any money the interpolated work may produce. They don't even need permission to take it. It's disgusting how the state of music creation has undercut pre existing works by established artists and given all the "new blood" a free pass to lazily create music. Knowing full well the laws are vague when it comes to interpolation. I'm surprised that it has been going on for so long and artist's creations are being dissected for pieces of their art to be reused without notice, respect, or recognition to the original artists who actually worked for what they created. ☮️
@ agreed, but it’s also why music is so bad in many cases today. Instead of finding people who compose new and interesting music (they do exist in any era) they put out gimmicky acts that steal old songs with new (but not as good) lyrics. It makes copyright almost pointless. Interpolation is one of the practices that is destroying popular music. I’ve read George Jones autobiography, and they used to remake the same songs all the time. Waylon, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Merl Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, they would all remake the same songs. It was expected and respected how they would do it differently. Heck, Chris Stapleton released a remake of “Tennessee Whisky” that was originally done by David Allan Coe and George Jones. He changed it to 6/8 time, made it more bluesy and it’s far better than the originals. Real artists can do that without stealing. Only lazy hacks like what Miley Cyrus interpolate. Back in the day artists would do medleys running two or more songs together and give credit to each artist. Dream Theatre did this with a bunch of popular songs from the 70’s. They did it so well. Interpolation is admitting you’re not a real artist because real artists know how difficult it is to write songs and wouldn’t steal intellectual property on purpose.
Shows how much class Prince and Journey have. They could have said no and he was polite enough to ask.
What??
It takes an amount of “class” to be honest??
Um dude wake up.
Prince seemed to have had an unusual amount of integrity
Well done by both performers! 👏

❤ I love Neal Schon! Journey wouldn't be the same without him.
#ProfessorOfRock
#NealSchon
#Journey
Faithfully
Purple Rain is way more similar to Still They Ride than Faithfully
Neil is a Monster guitarist❤
Amen!
Shorts are so much better, Adam. Well done!
That guitar😍
Purple rain, one of the greatest albums
Journey is my favorite band ❤️ (Steve Perry era) Especially 86 Raised on Radio 1996 Trial by 🔥.
And the rest is fentanyl and history.
Well Prince is an ethical person to be calling out to another musician. He respects othets unlike some who plagiarize
HSAS is an album that's underrated in my opinion!
What is the name of the album?
@castleanthrax1833 HSAS Through the Fire!
A lot of songs are similar yet different. As a writer I feel like a medium not an inventor
Neal is an awesome guy and a Guitar God.
Yes he is!
Good thing Led Zeppelin didn’t hear it first
🤦♂️... Ya - RIGHT!
Prince was overrated big time.Just sayin
I imagine you say lots of silly things…. 😊✌️
You’re clearly mental
He shoots....and an air-ball!
What's the b side to the US Let's Go Crazy 7" & 12". Oh yeah, the previously unreleased Erotic City.
'Nuff said.
