Scissor Sisters use the Virus C

[Smag]

Have you heard the new track "Filthy Dirty" by Scissor Sisters? It uses a factory preset arpeg from the Virus C. It's about half way through the track. You'll recognise it when you hear it. Just thought you might like to know.

Are they an 80's band? The name rings a bell...but im not sure where from!

I still cry when I hear their intrepretation of Comfortably Numb.

Hehehe.....I actually like that song! The original is a great piece of art, but the fact is, they have taken a song, done a cover that is so damn far from the original, and it is funky as hell, AND....they making a fuck load of money too

And that's the point. There are some songs that are holy and should not be touched.

By the way what's the deal with these PF covers (I'm starting to sound like Seinfeld). First Scissors Sisters and then Korn. I can hardly wait for a gansta rap bling-bling cover of Money.

I think it is really up to the original artist......if they gave permission for the song to be covered, then I think it is OK, plus, imagine the royalties earned from that for PF!!!!

I'm really digging their music. I never heard the original version of confortably numb, but I do hate it sometimes when a song I love is covered and it doesnt sound half as good as the original. I like a couple of the remixes of the scissor sisters confortably numb even better than their version.
