Author Topic: When will Thrasher's reign of copyright free soul/motown music ever end? (Read 5845 times)

Just like the music in this part:

Litterally every Thrasher part uses the same vanilla soul/motown song over and over again. Obviously, it's for monetization purposes but c'mon...

Hopefully soon. Rarely does this kind of music make me want to watch something when I hear it start in a video.

Soul music belongs everywhere. Ethan Fowler had a good soul song part. Maybe Trepasso too.

There was like 3 years in the mid-2000’s where it seemed like every part had some Motown doo wap song, e.g.:

Edit: cigs and I seem to be on the same wavelength.

Not quite the same, but still, this song from the sour solution II video is fucking sick.

My comment was a poor attempt at a play on words.

Say… some of my best friends listen to soul music!

But honestly, some recent edits are trying to shoehorn feel-good soul tunes when it frankly just doesn't fit the part—like the editor is trying to trick me into feeling like the part is a bright, happy breath of fresh air in this morass of stinky bad attitude videos. Sorry about it.

I'll drop soul inside your earhole
Add the bassline then I hit you with a fat drum roll
HIT IT

i'd appreciate it if they could also get rid of the bad copyright-free rock music they use for everything that is not soul/motown

All they gotta do for that is to get Figgy to stop playing guitar. PLEASE.

people don't actually think that Thrasher is the one picking the music for a Jamie Foy New Balance part, do they? DO THEY????

No one's picking music they like

They pick whatever is available from a collection of royalty-free soul songs

You think Jamie Foy is listening to bottom of the barrel soul tracks being like "yeh this is my jam"

Nike is the exception, they pay for their shit on youtube

I don't think Foy is, but it's DEFINITELY New Balance, not Thrasher that is picking the music. That's why they pick FREE music, so they don't have to pay - Thrasher is just hosting the video, they have nothing to do with any aspect of a brand's video production.

I love monk RIP but grindline: the band can be rough on the ears, and I love alot of crusty punk.

jakeumms · « **Reply #21 on:** July 01, 2019, 04:47:55 PM »

Oh hey guys Ocelot doesn't like soul music so you better not pick it for your edits or they'll call it bottom of the barrel.

This is honestly the first time I’ve heard anyone complain about soul music.

Edit: wait no I remember in the movie Ray a lady telling Ray Charles that anything that wasn’t gospel was the Devil’s music. That’s the closest example that comes to mind

JackKlompis · « **Reply #27 on:** July 01, 2019, 07:41:39 PM »

that song is not from some "royalty free music" catalogue and is far from bottom of the barrel, it's a rare single by an artist and is the only record she put out, it's pretty desirable to soul collectors/DJs and has not been reissued...

the only reason they wouldn't have to pay rights is because it is on an obscure label that hasn't been bought out by a major or reissue label (apparently the original masters for many of the labels releases have since been destroyed by a fire), though it is possible the original owners family is still around and aware enough to get paid.

I know what people mean when they say some soul doesn't work well with parts, but I thought this song worked well enough here.
