I've never heard that. It's 100% original from what I know. Are you sure you're not getting songs mixed up?
Nah I'm positive, it was only a tiny part of the song, the melody was exactly the same as the guitar on Wicked Games I only know it's real because I remember seeing it posted here back in the day, trying to make sure I'm not going mad tbh :hah:

You might be going crazy.

The only tracks with samples is the original version of What You Need, The Party & The After Party, House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls and Loft Music.

Noooo I'm positive it was posted on here before, I'm sure it was in a thread about an interview talking about the production of Trilogy with either Doc or Illangelo I just can't for the life of me remember or find it, it wasn't a direct sample or anything like that they literally just copied a tiny part of it, I remember the song being pretty long like 11 - 14 mins long

You're thinking about Frideric Handel's Sarabande

Super late but I think you are thinking about how the guitar melody in wicked games sounds sort of similar to the melody in Heaven or Las Vegas by the Cocteau Twins. It would make sense for the weeknd to “sample” this because he has sample Cocteau twins before and is obviously a fan of them, but at the same time i never heard of he actually sampled heaven or las vegas in wicked games. Its just something that i noticed sound similar in both tracks.
