Using Samples in Rock Music

[Just a gurl]

What are some of your favorite banRAB who heavily rely on sampling as part of their sound? I have discovered a lot of banRAB recently who use sampling effectively and I think it enhances their sound, and was wondering what other banRAB are out there...

Definitely, it's a great feeling.

On the flip side, one day during my teens I came home and my dad was watching a movie on TV, and I heard Skinny Puppy's "Who's Laughing Now" playing in a club scene. :thurab: Turns out the movie was Bad Influence, which I keep meaning to watch. The song itself uses about 4 samples from Evil Dead II.

I like every sample they use on Skuffed Up My Huffy so I can't say I agree haha. I think that sample works just fine.

I didn't really enjoy Tut Tut Shake Your Butt, however. Too much of a concept album or whatever you want to call it. More kewl jams, bros!

yeah they got in a ridiculous pile of trouble with all the samples they tried using on La Sexorcisto though. pretty sure that's one of the main reasons Astro Creep is much more subdued. though i can never get enough of that closing track (Blood, Milk, and Sky).

I just have to ask: have you listened to any of the videos in this thread other than jackhammer's?

See, now this is what I'm talking about! :thurab:

I don't think I've heard much of this since most samples are built off of guitar/drums/etc. and most rock banRAB, you know, have these things

How is using some random movie quote sample at the beginning of your song like plagiarizing? Isn't it more like opening a school paper with a quote, which is a really common and respected practice?

Not strictly rock but this is one of my faves which was a B side:

Skinny Puppy is great in the sample department, though I think my favorite band for it is My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. They always seem to pull from such interesting sources.
