Coke-Zero Advert: Riff Similar To IRS??? (Link)

[Estranged Reality]

Hey guys,

This isn't GN'R.

The track on this Coke Zero ad is a modified version of the instrumental song Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan from the album Furious Angels. You can watch the original instrumental version of it here:

It starts at 25 seconds into the song.

It is often used in promotional campaigns and it was also used in the film The Matrix in 1999.

It does sound exactly the same as I.R.S.... but it's been around longer, as he first released this track in 1996 or 1997 and it was played frequently in clubs.

I guess there are quite a lot songs using this. The soundtrack of the PC game Prand Prix 3 sounds also a bit like this.

It was released in 2000. Who would have known that I was listening to I.R.S. back then.

This riff has been around for ages and ages in one form or another.

It's my big complaint against the song. Musically, walking up the scale doesn't show a lot of expiramentation. I like the song a lot more now, but its always been my fear that this riff will make the song laughed at

I've heard this song before...

But yes it has been modified quite largely...I cannot hear the guitar in this version but I can hear the progression (bass?)

Thank You for clearing this up

I like how it sounds... IRS is my favourite Guns N' Roses song since 1993. I think it's one of the best Rock song ever.

I like, it's cool and all, but you ought to listen to much more rock music. I.R.S. is clearly not one of the best rock songs ever. Not even close.

[Painkiller545]

ABSOLUTELY.

I heard it Live man, I tell you, this song is an absolute Monster. It should be the 1st single.

Hearing the song live is so fuckin rockin

i think every one has heard it live. and if you havent, you;re probably an outcast.
