Each can have his own opinion about remixes, and I most certainly am not going to claim I know how Elvis would have felt about this one, but something that tells me he would not have been to happy with it. Let’s say more than likely very pissed. Certainly if you keep in mind how he felt about certain people tampering with his music when he was alive. And for sure, nobody could ever have done that like Spankox does!
Just listen to that awful beat. It just doesn’t match. Elvis’ voice is so distorted and messed up it sounds like a goat. It’s not only an insult. It’s an insult to Elvis’ good taste and lifelong effort to improve and perfect his performance to bring us the music that he wanted. That was his mission. That’s what he was trying to give us. Right till the very end. And this guy thinks he can break it all down? Just for his own purposes? Use it to his liking? Does he really think this adds something to Elvis’ music? I doubt it very much. It’s just personal gain. It’s just pure unleashed ego.
And what do you think about the press release that goes with it? It’s just the same thing as his last press release. Pure pompous propaganda. When it says things like ‘this seems to be sent directly by Elvis from Heaven to his fans’ or ‘it’s already generating rave reviews because of the exceptional clarity of the voice of the King’ may I please vomit? And of course ‘it’s all done respecting the essence of Elvis’ music.’ This guy has a lot of nerve. Is he an Elvis fan? Is he even a music fan? Of course, I shouldn’t be asking silly questions.
I am all for remixes if in some way they can add something to Elvis’ music. It’s already been proven that, although not easy, it can be done with great taste. But I would suggest if someone doesn‘t have the talent to do that, they should at least have the decency to stay off of it. Remixes are most certainly more than welcome because they offer a lot of opportunities. That has been discussed a lot of times before. But this is just downright pathetic. If everybody is allowed to remix Elvis’ music to their own liking and then throw it on the market for their own profit, I’m afraid this is going to be a huge problem. There are a lot of self-glorifying lunatics out there. First we had the imps, now we have this. And it’s all done as a tribute to the king!
