An excellent showcase of the hazards of "overprotecting" intellectual property-brilliant!!I urge everyone seing this listening to the bottom line of the video at the last minutes!!!

I used this for my contemporary art class to discuss sampling and appropriation art. thanks so much!

THANK YOU, very ... ( 7 months ago by th3h8ed1)

THANK YOU, very informative and interesting
not just because i listen to that kind of music where this sample is used a lot (hardcore tekkno, jungle, drum&bass, hiphop) i even used the amen break in my own tracks without knowing anything about its origins ... it just came with some sample collection along with a whole load of other drum loops
i wonder if i find this winston album on my dads record shelf ... he's got a lot of 60s and 70s stuff...

oh yeah, by the way ... ( 7 months ago by th3h8ed1)

oh yeah, by the way, i got some thoughts about the copyright thing: the industry has ALWAYS been moaning and crying about the protection of their "copyrights" ever since there was a possibility to copy music from one media to another ... vinyl records to cassette tapes for example ... like our parents used to copy their new album for their friends on cassete tapes so do we, as people of the digital age, share our music by burning it on CD-R, dub it to DAT Tape, MD or Memory Stick, nothig changed

I use amen all the time. Amen and Lyn Collins. Breakcore is my thing, and breakcore uses it CONSTANTLY.

All the Amen break ... ( 3 months ago by switch667)

All the Amen break says to me now about a track is how unoriginal and sheeplike the artist is, just like all the others, Baaaaaah!!! People are too scared to experiment and try new things and be different. The Drum & Bass/Jungle scene needs wake up and notice this or they will still be dancing to it in 2018 what a sickening thought!!!

Having been a Dj ... ( 3 months ago by switch667)

Having been a Dj since 1988 I was there from the start of dance music, I thought Mantronix King of the Beats was a brilliant use of sampling. Then came Hardcore & Jungle/ Drum & Bass. At that point (about 93/94) I had become sick to death of the Amen Break & became a Gabber Dj, I mean come on.. 'can't you sample something else?' I dont mind it as a backbeat but for the main Drumbeat??........

This break beat is ... ( 3 months ago by barriobajaj)

This break beat is a rip off of Tommy Roe's song
Sweet Pea. Check it out and post what you think.
This song came out in '65. This was four years before The Winstons' Amen Brother which is just a ripoff medley of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions.

no, you really ... ( 2 months ago by agent139)

no, you really can't. all recordings (that specific recording) are copyright, and you can copyright the lyrics, but an actual rhythm? no. or chord progression? no. i've done a fair amount of research into copyright law- many murky gray areas to be sure but this one is crystal clear.

you are buying the ... ( 2 months ago by agent139)

you are buying the rights to the recording, not the "rhythm" (e.g. if you went and played the drum parts yourself for all the metallica songs in existence for your metal band, Lars could not sue you. much as i'm sure he'd like to. :p)

dear mr maxpounder, ... ( 1 month ago by TessaPersoons)

dear mr maxpounder,
i must say i love this video, not only is it a nice history of the amen break with nice examples of the usage, the conclusion at the end is very right-on and hard 'news' for everybody who tries to bring some innovation into music.
Forget the negative comments, when so much knowledge is being given, people feel a bit numb and are eagerly waitin to tell their own story.
long live the amen break; after ten years of listenin to him, still lovin it!
