This is not a sample. David Guetta produced both tracks, and uses a similar beat for both songs, but they don't sample each other. I believe they are in different keys. (At least from what my little trained ear can tell.)

I guess you could very well say that, yes :)

After hearing the song you provided, Peetz, it appears Riesterer is The Ramones of his field.

Peetz said on Monday, 07 December 2009:

I'm not familiar with David Guetta's work either, but I don't believe he has anything to do with the distinctive sound in question. If you look up the original mix to 'Love is Gone', you'll find it completely lacks the characteristic hitting synth line from the more popular remix by Frederic Riesterer. A quick search on Riesterer, though, reveals the presence of this sound in many other of his remixes, most notably in Telemode - What Else (Fred Rister Club Mix): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAxyjz0gQS4 (0:23 and throughout). This song was released in 2007, after the release of his 'Love is Gone' remix on David Guetta's Pop Life album. It's a cool sound, really, and I don't mind artists using a cool sound more than once in their work (after the success of Love is Gone that's probably exactly the sound BEP were after when they approached him). But it's not sampling, at least not in my humble opinion and understanding of what sampling is.

MrBlondNYC said on Monday, 07 December 2009:

I'm not familiar with Guetta's work. So is this a sound that he often uses in his music? If so, I can see Peetz's point. The Ramones would be listed as sampling themselves on all their songs, for example. Otherwise, I can see where it is possible that will.i.am heard Love Is Gone and requested a similar song for him. bmorgan pointed out that Guetta "reused his own idea" and the possibility that he saw the opportunity to use it in a different market. I know the melody is not exactly the same, but in the case of interpolations it doesn't have to be note-for-note. As long as it's pretty clear it was the sampling artist's intention to reference to the original song. It may not be that clear in this case though.

Peetz said on Sunday, 06 December 2009:

I think I expressed my opinion about this one quite clearly when I rejected it in the first place. For the record, I believe it is Frederick Riesterer, who co-produced 'I Gotta Feeling' and remixed 'Love is Gone' (which is the version you hear in the clubs and in the music video), who brought that characteristic sound to this Black Eyed Peas song, and I don't consider it a sample. As pointed out by MrBlondNYC, it's not uncommon for producers or artists to reuse parts of their previous work. But using a characteristic sound over again is not the same as taking an actual portion of an old song and putting it into a new one. If so, all bands with their "own sound" would have to be considered sampling themselves in everything they do and everyone else (who lack their "own sound") would have to be considered sampling these bands. The Beatles used a very distinctive sitar sound in many of their songs after George Harrison was introduced to the instrument by Ravi Shankar. Did the Beatles sample themselves over and over again? Has everyone who followed in the Beatles' footsteps, and used the sitar in pop music, essentially just sampled the Beatles? I think not.

I agree with bmorgan. I don't think this can be considered a sample or interpolation. It's just a similar melody/instrument.

bmorgan said on Monday, 30 November 2009:

And I still DO think this place is amazing, cause I've found some amazing discoveries I would've otherwise not found!!! Cheers! Expect some posts from me in the future as well!

bmorgan said on Monday, 30 November 2009:

Therefore I think it's important we notify people when we think they are wrong, so that we can, as far as possible, avoid this site geting cluttered with stuff that should not be here. It's not the only post that Terry-rare (nothing personal Terry-rare, sorry) has made here that should've never been here. I've commented on a couple of them... I just found this place and I'm really excited about it, infact I love it as I've had this interest for many years now. And I do expect to have to "overlook" a couple of worthless posts, but in this case I just thought it sounded a bit strange so I checked up on it. I certainly enjoyed talking to you though MrBlondNYC, I see we share the same enthusiasm. Let's see what the admins have to say about this. Anyway, have a nice evening, mate! :)

MrBlondNYC said on Monday, 30 November 2009:

A database like this is gonna have some unimaginative samples. I don't know if "it mostly consists of hidden gems". A lot of the samples on here are many different artists that used the same sample of a major artist. Take a look at James Brown's page or Michael Jackson's for example. Considering that Guetta produced the BEP song, I think it is worthy of inclusion here. It it had been someone completely different, I think we would need some sort of confirmation. But maybe the admins will see this, take your point and reconsider it.

bmorgan said on Sunday, 29 November 2009:

I agree with the concept. But the tracks are in different keys, I gotta feeling is in C Major, while Love Is Gone is in E minor. So while the melody is SIMILAR, it's not actually the same... Combined with the instrument used (which is also pretty similar, if not the same), and the way it's played (the rhythm of it), it all "sounds familiar". But it's actually not the same. Therefore this post should've never have been created here in the first place! If we were to list every track here which are "quite similar" or familiar sounding to one another, then this would be an extremely boring site - not interesting at all.... But it IS an exciting site, because it mostly consists of hidden gems which have been reused in modern pop songs! Not only a list of an artists idea used in different ways... Agree?

MrBlondNYC said on Sunday, 29 November 2009:

The reuse of a melody is considered an interpolation and this is listed as "replayed sample (interpolation)". It is not unusual for an artist to reuse parts of their previous songs.

bmorgan said on Sunday, 29 November 2009:

It's obviously not sampled. How can you claim it is? That's crazy. He does reuse his own idea. He probably figured that the american market (which he is currently focusing on) haven't heard his previous hit, and he could use the same success formula in Black Eyed Peas track. But he obviously didn't sample himself...

Kind of funny, David Guetta sampled his own song?
