DJAngel Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 :happy:I heard a new version of In the Air Tonight, and it was definitely Phil Collins singing. It was a little more up tempo, a really cool beat and sound. Is this new or has it been out for awhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sorry but some things should never be touched. That song is one of them!I absolutley HATE the "Rap" version I heard a while ago, as this is just as sacriligious as using a Zepplin song to sell Cadillacs!I wonder when Micheal Jacson will sell off the Beatles catalogue so we can hear a Beatles song selling chewing gum or some other nonsense?!?!Don't mess with art!

They paid MJ and Capitol Records $250,000.Oh, and it's "absolutely," "sacrilegious," "Zeppelin," and "Michael Jackson." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The version I heard definitely did not have rap in it:pNo not the one that is listed here... but I have heard a rap version with nothing but mother****er and ni***r etc in it.I forget the artist...or should I say person who basterdised that song.I can see Phil Collins having a caniption fit, but he probably does not own the song anymore???

Viceman Cometh Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes, Phil still owns the rights to the song, so if anyone is covering it he authorized it and is getting paid."Samples," however, are another story. Most of the major-label rappers go through proper channels, but many indie and self-released rappers still use samples without clearance.And by the way, even with the asterisks, the n-word makes me wince. Was that really necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Phil Collins had to pay a lot of money to his ex - wife and maybe that´s the reason why he gave his ok to the new version of that great song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
