Hard to say.

When Robert Plant did the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, it was the most crowded event I ever attended. So crowded it would be one of those situations where if there is a panic, someone will be trampled to death.

The kids just love Led Zeppelin.

thats on you mate not the poster to understand the lingo.

Oh I firmly expect the newspaper article to be local. But the posting on reddit would be helpful if it came with the vocabulary lesson.

Or a [Britain] tag

It's boy backwards, which I believe may be the etymology, though that may just be what I was taught as a child.

I’m well aware of that. But local newspapers tend to write for local audiences.

I think this will turn into a fuck around and find out for the Saudis, and I don't think they will be happy. Especially the women's soccer players will turn this into a nightmare for them.

The specific recording falls under a seperate copyright, this is 100% true in the US. And it's not about YG imitating his voice, it's about him using the actual recording of RA in the start of this clip.

Here is Legal Eagle explaining something similar with Taylor Swift https://youtu.be/M-A_RrOeoWw&t=4m36s

For some reason the timestamp isn't working properly but the important thing starts at 4m36s

The Wal-Marts have started this. I went to one recently that mainly played "bro-country." I went to another that was playing 90s music in the parking lot.

Right, except YG got an interpolation license from the rights holder, which means he was legally allowed to recreate the song. Rick Astley is arguing that just his voice is a separate, protected asset, and that YG was not allowed to imitate it.

In the US at least I’ve never heard of that being a thing, and if it is a thing in UK law I would argue that YG doesn’t sound anything like Rick Astley on his song. He’s singing the same notes, but the tone and quality of his voice sounds nothing like the original

Not everywhere is Britain, just as not everywhere is the US.

I am sorry, your honor: rowdy young masters

I just listened to the Yung Gravy song. He essentially just raw samples the song while using something to muffle and minutely modulate the sound for the introduction.

There’s no differential interpretation here, just a raw recording sample with some aftereffects. Very much in the same vein as “ice ice baby” and “under pressure.”

I don’t think Gravy is going to win this one. He’d be better off settling and/or giving Astley or a charity of his choice the song royalties.

Did you listen to the song? The entire start is just Rick Astleys song. Like, in the subtitles it even stated it was.

Also, there is def some rights on that, since this is the entire reason Taylor Swift decided to re-record her songs.

I hope Legal Eagle does a breakdown of this though, cause IANAL so I want to see his take

Lol, still, when at a bar surrounded by 20 somethings, shouldn't really expect to get recognized, as he is not really relevant to the current generation. Outside a random commercial they might see. Most younger people probably aren't looking up pictures of him just because they recognize a song or two.

> when i tell it its wrong it just doubles down because it does not understand fact vs opinion it just gives you the most relevant data it has and says "that's the answer you want"

In my experience, it apologizes for the mistake, and then when you ask to update (rewrite) the product incorporating the new information, it's even odds whether it will make the desired change, ignore it completely, or make a new different mistake.

Well he is 79 at the moment.

But I like Beethoven

And next, the Pakistani bikini competition.

And the Russian world IQ championships.

Using Ludwig van like that!

Next step is buying the men’s World Cup. It’s in the bag. FIFA’s not going to turn that down.

Are they going to make all the players cover their heads then take credit for whoever wins?

I have a feeling the ladies are going to have more balls to boycott/speak out against this than the men did with Qatar's controversies. Anyone else get that feeling?

I see your point, but being ridiculous doesn’t make it oniony. The headline needs to capture some kind of absurdity to qualify for the sub, and this ain’t it.

I remember seeing a post of his on Twitter where he was at a bar and no one recognized him, and he seemed to be having a "what the fuck, how do they not recognize me" type attitude. And it's like...."you're 90. In a big hat and long coat, at a bar. Why the fuck should they recognize you?"
