Everyone wanted the Haus Labs version, the Haus Labs version is the one we got. It uses a Roland TB-303 in place of the parts that were originally filled by the guitar and this change was present in the original Haus Labs ad as well. The real reason the guitar is gone is because they liked the 303 better and the two did not mesh in the mix so the guitar got cut. That's just how the demo process goes. Can't believe you were in the room! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fanmade (that time we didn't have the full bridge yet, so whoever extended it used only the second part of the bridge) I remembered that I saved it from Twitter, so I went to find the tweet  Thisï»ż mutual gaze was a âlonging to touchâ or a "pre-coitus" stare.ï»ż Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we know they chose it over the guitar. 3) if you layer the guitar with the 303 they audibly are conflicting elements. Itâs not subtle. therefore the natural conclusion is they liked the way the 303 sounded when working on the song hence why it stayed and guitar was out as they were not compatible.  but please Iâd love to hear what you think the alternative was.

If it's an interpolation, it would still need to be cleared with the copyright holder, so your first point doesn't necessarily stand. It's possible they made the aesthetic decision to replace it independent of a clearance issue, but there's still a possibility they couldn't clear the interpolation with the Bowie camp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itâs unique to Babylon. The style itâs being played in is similar but thatâs just because itâs a funk guitar, they wouldnât be any reason to credit it as interpolation or as a sample since it wouldnât fall under either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
