Akshat Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Speaking of Jesus Of Suburbia, obviously the chorus of City Of The Damned is basically Summer of 69. Is any part of that song truly original? And a part of it draws influence from Children of The Grave by Black Sabbath.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Some of Brutal Love sounds a lot like Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home to Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it, ran to this thread, and was glad to see someone heard it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shondells Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Some trilogy stuff: I hate that 'Stray Heart' reminds me of Jet... :-( Some people have said 'Kill the DJ' reminds them of 'Take Me Out' by Franz Ferdinand - I can kinda see the songs being second cousins I guess. The bridge/solo melody of 'Carpe Diem' makes me think of 'Ruby Soho' by Rancid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Some of Brutal Love sounds a lot like Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home to Me. I'm aware this was ages ago but I'm replying anyway Sam Cooke actually has a writing credit for Brutal Love, they intentionally "borrowed" it.

"Take Me Out" is a rip off of this: and Stray Heart sounds more like this: Also the guitar intro of Jackass is from the Kink's song "A Well Respected Man".

Shondells Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Does anyone else remember a UK band called (I think) Secret Garden? They tried to sue GD for 'Warning' sounding like one of their tunes? Did anything ever come of that? I was reported by the likes of Kerrang etc at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Teller Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 You can hear some similarities between Wild One and Cheap Trick's "Lovin' Money".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9YB6_ecVWc Brutal Love has the melody of Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" but it also sounds like these songs: Queen - Rock It (Prime Jive) The Wildhearts - Sky Chaser High U2 - Love Rescue Me R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could name a million similar songs if that's the criteria. That's what I get for not opening the booklet... That means going near the album, and no one wants to do that.

Ripoffception. >implying Wonderwall was the first Em G D A song ever That's the only similarity it has to Boulevard, after all. Hey Girl has that lead part.

Apart from the fact it's played on an acoustic guitar with a similar tone at a similar speed. I don't know if they meant to rip it off or not, but I can see why Noel was unhappy, even if that does make him a massive hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Speaking of BOBD, its opening is very similar to Rise Against's "Make It Stop (September's Children)", though in this case Green Day came first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they meant to rip it off or not, but I can see why Noel was unhappy, even if that does make him a massive hypocrite. It doesn't even have the same strumming pattern. It's just a silly thing, nothing more. At least it isn't as bad as people claiming Brain Stew is a rip-off of 25 or 6 to 4 when Robby Planters and the Zeppelin Boys released Babe I'm Gonna Leave You a whole year before. Speaking of BOBD, its opening is very similar to Rise Against's "Make It Stop (September's Children)", though in this case Green Day came first. Funny how it's removed by the fact that it's Em G D D instead of Em G D A but uses the same delay effect to bring it right back to rip-off territory.
