I don't see why people get all up in arms when someone samples a song. It's a common practice and doesn't mean that they're ripping a song off. Tribe Called Quest used a Lou Reed sample and made a classic hip hop song.
Alan Vega's voice is one of a kind. He sounds like a snotty Roy Orbison on the verge of a constant orgasm (at least to me anyways). People always try to cover their music but Alan is the best.
yeah, Suicide wrote this song and deserve full credit. it was way before their time and genius. actually i like Rollins cover because he did a damned good job with it, his own spin and that is the point. but credit goes to SUICIDE.
@winterstellar Woops, I looked her up on wikipedia to find out exactly when she started, and i accidentally went to the punk rock band from the 80s... i was tired, i dont know why i figured it made sense that some like 25-year old woman could have been making music in 1981.
@kissmechickenbreath In every MIA song SHE samples from old classics, preferably classics so old that her child fans weren't even born when they were hits.Fact!!!: (
Your guys are retarded with all this flaming. Martin Rev performed with M.I.A live on TV so it's all good and obviously she didn't ripped they off. It's called an homage.
all of you are stupid..this is the original song..and also m.i.a. didnt "rip off" this song. first of all, thats illegal..you gotta get permission to even sample shit..and im sure if she "ripped off this song" martin rev wouldnt PERFORM IT WITH HER
@Analogilokki are you fucking retarded m.i.a. ripped off this song this is originally by suicide from 1977 i hope alan vega and martin rev go to your house and knock some sense into you
@FJCorboMusic You're an asshole. Martin Rev performed the song live with M.I.A on Letterman or similar TV program. Thus, M.I.A's work is obviously not a ripp off.
Wow, MIA didn't make a single original note in her song Born Free. It's just a sample of this same bassline over and over. LAME. It actually gets kind of annoying after a while.
MIA sampling Ghost Rider is truthfully not a sin in my opinion but a tribute to Suicide. I love both versions of the song. MIA in their video and lyrics also portray that rebellious style and meaning that Suicide expressed. In the end though, the best steal from the best.
Sorry to disillusion you Suicide fans but the bass line is quite blatantly stolen from the song "Money", made famous by The Beatles and Lene Lovich, unless I'm very much mistaken. Suicide are great and probably one of the main influences on all those 80's synth bands whether they were aware of it or not but the obvious truth is that absolutely no one is completely original and that includes Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, never mind Suicide!
I saw them in 1978 in the old Glasgow Apollo. Best live set I ever saw in my life, bar none. They were supporting the Clash at their peak, but Suicide were amazing.
@vanthemanification More like "collaborated" than "sampled". Martin Rev from Suicide was on the keyboards for M.I.A's "Born Free". I'm fairly new to M.I.A, but I did a little checking on the web, definitely collaboration.
@mrjdvolk the credits in the lyrics book say quote: "Contains the SAMPLE [emphasis mine] "Ghost Rider" (Rev/Vega) by Suicide." it says nothing of Rev playing keyboards on M.I.A.'s recording. so maybe there is bad information out there on the web.
i was born in a third world country and was introduced to suicide before i was introduced to internet. and i am very proud to say that i was never introduced to mia.
All of there songs sounds as if something great is about to happy, the rush the anxiety, something is coming, something big is coming for you. All you need to do is stop and listen.
Almost every track I listen to by this band sounds like its all made usin a Casio Keyboard and is recorded usin a Fostex 4 track.It still sounds repetitive, as any
drum machine will unless it is programmed to have breaks ,rolls, different tempo's in the same song. So there is no way I would not stand waiting to get into a club where they were playing this attempt at music by non musicians so
have a kick at my views but that an honest unbiased opinion Yours Greenjerzi
@Greenjerzi333 Your opinion is irrelevant because you've completely missed the point of the band and its music. Ergo, your opinion is biased on the basis of ignorance.
@spookypig Henry Rollins also did a cover years before that one that was on his 1987 solo album "Hot Animal Machine". The "Hot Animal Machine" version is different in that it sounds much closer to the original. Rollins Band also recorded it in the sessions for "Hard Volume" & appeared on the 1999 remastered version as an outtake. It doesn't take a genius to see that Henry Rollins loves the song.
@Oesktchohova ...you are shitting me aint you ..if you knbow anything about music you would of heard of hendrix & pink floyd..just search anything realating to them & you will hear music that was way ahead of its time & sounds made with a guitar that some struggle to replkicate with all todays technology.....try watching these pink floyd live in pompeii or any of there performances or jimi hendrix at isle of white festival,woodstock or monteal here endeth the lesson ,go get educated haha

I doubt very much most people who listen to MIA know it was ripped off or sampled or whatever. And with the loss of liner notes on CDs this is even more the case. Too be fair though I still a bit shocked to discover all the covers The Clash did. But in the end it just leads me to new musical discoveries.
@pjdance ain't that the truth. i was quite excited when i heard MIA using the sample, but bummed when I get the rest of her latest release. at first i was like :D and then i was like :|
To all the MIA haters, deal with it, the lead singer of Suicide came ON STAGE WITH HER AND PERFORMED IT WITH HER. SO STFU AND I BET MY LIFE THAT THE CLASH ARE FUCKING LOVING PAPER PLANES IN HEAVEN.
@MrMartin667 Nothings original. Suicide "sampled" the chord progressions, the instruments, words, letters, rhythm. It's not about who did what. M.I.A. always manages to take her inspirations and make it her own. Suicide did it too, don't be a snob because they're an old band.
@snesspazkid i wish fans of mia would stop coming to suicide videos and talking shit. tell me, exactly who did suicide saample this from? sources or didn't happen bub.
Im all for sampling, but theres a difference between making a sample your own and just taking the bassline in its entirety, changing nothing about it at all, and adding other instruments over it. Its just like Vanilla Ice.
@raggedyanarchist I sure never could get into the Silver Apples. I was high the last time I listened to them, and imagined a dastardly villain, who tortured hippies by giving them acid and playing Silver Apples on loop. It was horrible.
If it makes you guys feel any better I went to the MIA video to post "Dee Dee Deeeee hes a blazin' away pickin' stars-stars-stars in the univeerrrssseeeeee"
@jessizz2e well guess what ? I'm proud of not knowing what gender or species that piece of crap "artist" is... it's a shame stuff like that gets a recording contract in the first place... wailing out of tune on somebody else's record does not qualify as talent in my book. Suicide rules, if you try and sample them, do something badass, not lame ...
@iceguy0077 honestly, how many people will know it's a Suicide song ??? Let's be real... it has nothing to do with being elitist. I must've missed the part when they give credit to Suicide, obviously...
It's a masterpiece.

It's okay if you hate m.i.a. but at least she got the sample through a legal way, instead of just fucking stealing.

@raggedyanarchist I sure never could get into the Silver Apples. I was high the last time I listened to them, and imagined a dastardly villain, who tortured hippies by giving them acid and playing Silver Apples on loop. It was horrible.

@jessizz2e well guess what ? I'm proud of not knowing what gender or species that piece of crap "artist" is... it's a shame stuff like that gets a recording contract in the first place... wailing out of tune on somebody else's record does not qualify as talent in my book. Suicide rules, if you try and sample them, do something badass, not lame ...

@pat976 if anything MIA's cover will attract more attention to Suicide than previously, you just don't want to share your elitist taste with anyone

@iceguy0077 honestly, how many people will know it's a Suicide song ??? Let's be real... it has nothing to do with being elitist. I must've missed the part when they give credit to Suicide, obviously...

@pat976 But she actually did pay to use it, all physical copies of the song and album give credit to Suicide and list this song =]
