Akshat Posted March 26, 2014 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..
Iva Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Some of Brutal Love sounds a lot like Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home to Me.
carlosmonotdg Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Just this http://youtu.be/nAzM2D2YxdY?t=1m21s Toreador song, from the opera "Carmen" written by Bizet (around minute 1:20) aaaand this song we all love (or not...)
wood Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 And a part of it draws influence from Children of The Grave by Black Sabbath.. I'm incredibly happy you caught that. I heard it, ran to this thread, and was glad to see someone heard it as well.
Shondells Posted May 15, 2014 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
Spike Posted May 15, 2014 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 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.
Jax Teller Posted May 16, 2014 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

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.
Iva Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 So, you're with the "cool folk" who don't like the Trilogy? Tut-tut..
Spike Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 So, you're with the "cool folk" who don't like the Trilogy? Tut-tut.. I have my own justifiable opinions if that's what you mean
Spike Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 's OK, I ALREADY REVENGED YOU. I like Uno and Tre so feel free to revoke it
Iva Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Then you didn't know what album this particular song was on, so I win. Oh, the salad days. Bad days. Days. Oh, wait, this is about Green Day. Sorry. I CAN DO IT. I'M TAKING IT TO THE SPAM THREAD.
Jax Teller Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 The beginning of Billy Currington's "Hey Girl" sounds like Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Jax Teller Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 When I first heard American Idiot I thought that the riff was similar to Circle Jerks' "Coup D'etat".
Spike Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The beginning of Billy Currington's "Hey Girl" sounds like Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Whoa, that's like a direct ripoff! Shocking.
Guest Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The beginning of Billy Currington's "Hey Girl" sounds like Boulevard of Broken Dreams. A ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff. Ripoffception.
green day is Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 A ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff. 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.
Spike Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 >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.
Anaïs. Posted May 23, 2014 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.

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.
