If you’re headed to the movies soon to see “Furious 7″, you’ll note a Van Halen tie-in. The song “Blast Off” by David Guetta is featured. “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” is sampled for that song.

It’s very similar, but it’s not ATBL.

I agree that it doesn’t sound like a straight sample, but the Van Halen crew is credited in the songwriting section of the film… Here’s some more info.

It seems as though David Guetta is taking a similar path as Paul Oakenfold with his current project. While Paul is reimagining trance classics like “Toca Me” and “Cafe del Mar” with a 2014 touch, David is using seminal club classics based on samples as his inspiration source. Following up “Shot Me Down,” which reworked the Audio Bullys take of the Cher/Nancy Sinatra classic, on “Blast Off” he mines the same 1978 Van Halen sample of “Ain’t Talkin ’bout Love” that Apollo 440 used for their 1997 top 10 hit “Ain’t Talkin Bout Dub.” The raging electro “Blast Off” harnesses the primal rock energy of the guitar sample with the same aggression and powerful feel of the Apollo 440 drum and bass version. Aussie DJ/singer Kaz James, best known for the rock/dance hybrid classic “I Like the Way You Move” with the Bodyrockers, spits some MC-styled lyrics that will energize the festival kids to bang it out and “Blast Off” all summer long
