When Mashups Go Wrong

In this age of RockBand & Guitar Hero + the internet, a lot of historic, original, multi-track recordings intended only for use in those games have been siphoned off by crafty folks and posted to the internet for others to use in remixs, songs or just to examine and really get to hear what was played on those tracks.

I have posted a couple of famous bass tracks that are floating around like this, ones that really let the playing come through so you can hear the deep groove and funkyness on the original tracks.

This track is not one of those.

This track is an example of when the musical freedom that technology has allowed us is used for unquestionably evil and wantonly nefarious purposes.

You have been warned. You will not be able to un-hear this, so remember that before you hit play.
