On the flip side, one day during my teens I came home and my dad was watching a movie on TV, and I heard Skinny Puppy's "Who's Laughing Now" playing in a club scene. Turns out the movie was Bad Influence, which I keep meaning to watch. The song itself uses about 4 samples from Evil Dead II.

Yeah, when Astro Creep came out I remember reading an interview with Rob Zombie where he was talking about how they had to create all their own samples on that album after all the headaches from La Sexorcisto.

I tried listening to Dillinger Four's "Gainsville" and "A Jingle for the Product," and a couple others, and I DO like the songs...just not the vocal samples. Vocal samples feel like plagiarizing to me. If a song were a paper, I'd say, "Don't just quote someone else. Put the idea in your own words." However, I would say that Dillinger Four uses the vocal samples in a fairly subtle manner. Except, ee-gads, they seem to start practically EVERY SINGLE SONG with a vocal sample!

I really don't see how it sounds like cheating, when no attempt is made for the samples to sound like the band's own vocals. For me, in the case of Dillinger Four, it adds humor and energy and helps to separate them from other punk bands, IMO. In the case of stuff like industrial and instrumental hip-hop, it adds to the mood/atmosphere and gives it a cinematic feel. To each his own though, you don't have to like them, I just don't get how anyone could see that as cheating. That's a stronger argument when talking about beat sampling. And even then, I consider using material from other sources a perfectly acceptable practice when creating something completely new from it.
All in all, I think I appreciate cut & paste techniques in music and art, and you may not.
