I recently came across this song called The Shore, and it sounds an awful lot like Holiday. The riff seems the same, and it just gives the "Holiday" vibe. Here it is, in case you wanted to hear it:

I don't know if "Wiretree" was inspired by Green Day and wrote the song, or they simply stole the melody.

I'll send the songs to Noel Gallagher and ask for his opinion.

Listen to this and tell me thats not the Walking Contradiction riff. Fucking Kinks, always ripping off greenday

Remember that time that Georges Bizet ripped off Dirty Rotten Bastards so he could write that stupid "Carmen" opera?

Sounds more like The Passenger than Holiday to me.

The animation reminds me of 60´s style. Yellow submarine. But not as stoned. :)

Do you mean Green Day stole the riff from The Living End or the other way round?

Espionage released 1997 on Hitchin' A Ride single and TLE album was out in 1998.

Either way, a pretty common riff I think.

they have the song since 1996 and playing it.

And they toured with GD at 96.soo , conclution.

That riff is an old R'n'B riff. Green Day could have ripped it off from literally dozens of artists.

Oh, wow, thanks for the "Cadillac"! Haven´t heard that song for ages, good memories from long ago. :dance:

Ok thanks - wasn't aware of that- really like that album. But as I said, pretty common riff - I think The Living End may have borrowed it too.

Not again :fight: It seems every damn time I listen to my record player some prick is ripping off Green Day and even time travelling to try to be smartass about it. Yeah I hear that riff Kinks, Ramones, Bikini Kill etc etc... :thumbsdown:
