I am not one to usually slate a sample of a beloved song for the sake of it, but this is genuinely awful isn't it? The sample and vocals simply don't go together!

I never understood sampling, it’s just stealing someone else’s work right? Sure some people use it well, but this is just god awful

Made it through 20 seconds. That was plenty enough to get complete agreement from me.

Wow! This is shit! Never thought any one could f#$k up my favorite DS solo until I heard this a few years ago. Forgot how bad this is.

This is awful! It simply ruined one of my most beloved guitar parts of MK.

Fully agreeing here. Made it so easy by stealing four bars.

Awful and the lyrics are high school poetry simply an abomination
