BrandNewBoognish: Musical Plagiarism/coincidences

BrandNewBoognish 11.24.09	yeah feel free to add to this
AnotherBrick 11.24.09	joe satriani if i could fly, Cat Stevens 'Foreigner Suite'
MrHotMoms 11.24.09	then theres atreyus right side of the bed, which definetly plagiearises the hive by in flames. which is an amazing song.
BallsToTheWall 11.24.09	Dont fuck with 1979.
ninjuice 11.24.09	Chuck Berry basically ripped off himself in the intros to Johnny B Goode and Roll Over Beethoven. Sum 41 ripped off Metallica's Battery with Bitter End but they did admit it.
Ire 11.24.09	Carcass - Death certificate Papa roach last resort, i think.
Parallels 11.24.09	dream theater totally ripped off wither's guitar solo from queens bohemian rhapsody.
Yotimi 11.24.09	I don't think 1979 is that similar. 8 and 10 are complete plagiarisms though and 5 is pretty close too. Check out Radiohead's Karma Police and The Beatles' Sexy Sadie.
Yotimi 11.24.09	Oh and Manchester Orchestra's "I can feel a hot one" and Neutral Milk Hotel's "The King of Carrot Flowers Pts 2&3" (intro riff).
EVedder27 11.24.09	I was going to add 7, but you covered that
Jethro42 11.24.09	Jethro Tull (1969) ''We Used To Know'' Eagles (1976) ''Hotel California''
shade 11.24.09	need King Of Carrot Flowers pt2&3 was copied By Manchester Orchestra-I Can Feel A Hot One
Inveigh 11.24.09	Hah, pretty funny list, although most of it is almost documented as true. Especially the George Harrison and Nirvana. I got two more for ya: In Flames - The Hive (came first) Atreyu - Right Side of the Bed Raekwon - Have Mercy Atmosphere - Say Hey (came first) Just discovered that last one today. The funny part is, the very next song on OB4CL2 starts with the line "rappers steppin to me, they want a brick son." Over a decade earlier, Atmosphere released a song called Guns and Cigarettes which starts with the line, "rappers steppin to me, they wanna get some" This can't be coincidence right? I mean, those songs have the EXACT same beats...
ninjuice 11.24.09	lol read the comments
shade 11.24.09	damn, ninja'd
bloc 11.24.09	i didn't know about 10....
Inveigh 11.24.09	would somebody seriously check out the Atmosphere - Raekwon thing? These other songs sound alike, but in this case they actually took the same track and just adjusted the EQ. Listen to it. It's like that Crazy Town ripping off Chili Peppers thing (only I don't think Raekwon actally admitted it). Cause Crazy Town didn't even play a note of that song themselves, just sampled it.
Satellite 11.24.09	Green Day... "Brain Stew" blatantly rips off Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4." "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" plagiarizes the fuck out of the Hives' "Main Offender." "Warning" rips off the Kinks' "Picture Book." "American Eulogy" rips off THEIR OWN SONG "Deadbeat Holiday," which probably rips off something else.
Satellite 11.24.09	Oh, and the Strokes' "Last Nite" is definitely reminiscent of Tom Petty's "An American Girl."
TRMshadow 11.24.09	Kittie - My Plague Lamb of God - Laid to Rest Septicflesh - Communion Meow Mix Jingle definitely check out the second comparison
TRMshadow 11.24.09	oh yeah, and how could we miss Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby Queen - Under Pressure
Inveigh 11.24.09	^well, that one's actually documented. I just hate the ones where they don't actually admit that it's a cover/sample/ode to the original.
qwe3 11.24.09	Andrew Lloyd Webber - Phantom of the Opera copied Pink Floyd - Echoes
FistfulOfSteel 11.24.09	all doom = sounds like black sabbath
qwe3 11.24.09	yeah dude its really obvious. like its kidna like wow webber go fuck yourself even more than usual. hang on i needa find a youtube of it. here we go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S3fpgrZ9ys
theacademy 11.24.09	"Blood on My Hands" by the Used borrows from "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry
FailureToAspirate 11.24.09	didn't Harry chapin write "Father and son"? i know cat stevens sang it.... Cigarettes & alcohol by oasis has a very similar riff to a t-rex song, can never remember what it's called. Also, shakermaker by oasis supposedly ripped off a song called "I'd like to teach the world to sing" which used to be in a coca-cola ad. Noel got in trouble for that, and now he only drinks pepsi.
Baphomet 11.24.09	Sum 41 - The Bitter End / Metallica - Battery
Yotimi 11.24.09	Fireflies - Every Postal Service Song.
ReturnToRock 01.28.10	-Nirvana: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" It pains me to accuse this song of ANYTHING (best song ever written, and all that), but THAT riff is basically the same as "Godzilla" by the Blue Oyster Cult. - REM: Losing My Religion Riff is identical to Eagle Eye Cherry: "Are You Having Fun" - The Cult: "Li'l Devil" Riff is identical to AC/DC: "Rock And Roll Singer" There are more, of course, but these come to mind immediately.
ReturnToRock 01.28.10	OH YEAH Puddle of Mudd - "She Hates Me' Nirvana - "Lithium" THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME DAMN SONG!!!!!
BrandNewBoognish 01.28.10	I really hope the returntorock guy isn't accusing R.E.M. of ripping off Eagle Eye Cherry even though that EEC album came out in 2000 and Losing My Religion is from 1991
ReturnToRock 01.28.10	No, no, the other way around!
Mordecai. 01.28.10	Nirvana: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" It pains me to accuse this song of ANYTHING (best song ever written, and all that) choke
ReturnToRock 01.28.10	well, it is to me...
BigHans 01.28.10	I always thought the main riffs of 'Battery" and "Blackened" were strikingly similar.
Nagrarok 01.28.10	You forgot the band that rips off their own material the most.
Deviant. 01.28.10	"Riff is identical to AC/DC: "Rock And Roll Singer"" Riff is identical to EVERY AC/DC song
ReturnToRock 01.28.10	bullshit argument. how is Back in Black similar to Let There Be Rock?
qwe3 01.28.10	because it's ACDC
NigelH 01.28.10	"Check out Radiohead's Karma Police and The Beatles' Sexy Sadie." Yorke admitted to having been inspired by this though. Lazy Eye by the Silversun Pickups has always reminded me of 1979 by the Pumpkins.
Taxt 01.28.10	Ouroboros by The Mars Volta and the Super Smash Brothers Brawl theme. SRS. Exactly the same.
AbyssalCreation 01.28.10	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEwnJg9DgRs
TheNewWhack 02.02.10	The Offspring's "Hammerhead" rips like crazy from The Letters Organize's "Matador." And what do ya know, they were signed to Dexter Holland's label, Nitro Records... See the comparison below. http://threefortysevenaugusta.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/offspring-vs-organize.mp3 Fuck The Offspring.
