Would someone who was innocent offer up to 40% of their royalties earned from their hard-worked art to make a lawsuit go away?
Not that I'm picking sides. I only strongly like Radiohead's Paranoid Android and that's because Ergo Proxy is my favorite animu.
This song sounds A LOT like Creep though, lol. Even though a song is likely to sound like a prior song at some point, you gotta admit...it's a little too close for comfort.
|
| |
MY FAVORITE ANIMUUUUU
|
| |
wasn't Creep inspired by a 70's song?
A little hypocritical maybe.
|
| |
lmao
|
| |
Iggy Pop should be the one suing since she stole his album title.
|
| |
lana del reydiohead
|
| |
too bad iggy's brain is fried to the point where his motor skills can't process enough information to even hire an attorney
|
| |
Never heard of Radiohead before, but these nobodies can't touch my queen 🙌🙌🙌 slayyyy
|
| |
This sounds pretty dumb tbh
|
| |
"too bad iggy's brain is fried to the point where his motor skills can't process enough information to even hire an attorney"
whoa you're stupid
|
| |
and Creep is fucking garbage, why does Radiohead care so much about a song they hate in the first place? Ah, of course...money.
|
| |
lana dey is stupid af but so is sueing people over stuff like this
|
| |
I hate Lana Dey.
|
| |
"Would someone who was innocent offer up to 40% of their royalties earned from their hard-worked art to make a lawsuit go away?"
Uhh, yeah. Defending yourself in court costs a lot of time and money.
What a bunch of cunts.
|
| |
lmao this is so stupid. similar? sure. but there are so many dozens of songs that are similar and these two aren't even close enough to warrant any sort of intelligent comparison let alone suing
|
| |
I don't know what's more embarrassing for radiohead, this lawsuit or admitting Creep exists and is their song.
|
| |
idiots make bad song long ago and sue other idiot over making unrelated bad song now
|
| |
so wait in these cases is it the band that's suing lana del gey or the record label or both?
|
| |
She says the bands lawyers have been the ones hounding her. So I think the actual band.
|
| |
it does sound pretty similar, but yeah this kind of stuff seems incredibly dumb to me
|
| |
I'm confused as to exactly how courtrooms are supposed to adjudicate these kinds of claims anyway, for example, what exactly is the criteria for alleged similarities?
|
| |
Not like they need the money, dammit. And she bargaining with the shares is hilarious lol
|
| |
This song is better than Creep tbh.
|
| |
"According to U.S. copyright law, in the absence of a confession, musicians who accuse others of stealing their work must prove "access"—the alleged plagiarizer must have heard the song—and "similarity"—the songs must share unique musical components. though it is difficult to come to a definition of what is "similarity"." also when radiohead got sued over Creep they had the credit the accusers as co-writers which I found interesting. I guess it's down to how well the lawyers present their cases of if the song was plagiarised or not.
|
| |
When the fuck are people and especially artists going to learn that we have peaked with popular music?! It has all been sounding similar since the 80s. What the fuck do these cuntbuckets in Radiohead expect from a pop artist like Lana? I agree Lana may have taking inspiration from the song (even down to the vibrato in the voice), but Radiohead are just assholes for claiming they own the right to a couple of chord progressions that have been overplayed to shit by tons of other artists.
|
| |
yikes alright i'd like my comment to be deleted before i kms asap
god bless having severe autism i guess
|
| |
fuck radiohead!!!!
|
| |
The fuck are Radiohead on?
|
| |
It just uses a borrowed minor chord while moving away from the major chord that's actually in the key, that doesn't make it Creep. This is a move I really wouldn't have expected from them.
|
| |
Yorke has always been sort of a douche, so i guess im not that surprised.
|
| |
i hate lana del rey! [2]
|
| |
Radiohead hates the song anyways. Why do they care??
|
| |
"MY FAVORITE ANIMUUUUU"
Hey man, I said that with full knowledge of how gay I sounded, haha.
"Uhh, yeah. Defending yourself in court costs a lot of time and money."
You're right in that regard, but I would argue that as a recording artist if my creativity, originality, and integrity were on the line I would fight tooth and nail to defend myself.
|
| |
This song is better than Creep tbh. [2]
|
| |
At best...and if anything... "Get Free" is "Creep" if "Creep" were a good song... but it's not...case closed...
|
| |
Wouldn't be surprised if it was just label execs trying boost their royalties, i doubt Radiohead really give a fuck seeing as 1. They Hate Creep 2. Tend not to give a fuck about money handing out albums for free 3. Rich as hell 4. Were so forthcoming when accused themselves with the same song.
|
| |
I hate to be the dissenter around here, but I've always presumed it obvious that Radiohead were credited. It took me seconds to think that this sampled (or whatever the correct term is these days) 'Creep'. I'm no Radiohead fanboy of any kind, but this has really surprised me. The main question I have is why has it taken so long for them to bring legal proceedings?
|
| |
Not really hearing the similarity tbh.
|
| |
idk how you couldnt hear the similarity, it's literally the same tempo and chords throughout the song (not to mention tone), up until the secondary chorus which is different.
|
| |
Ok, yeah. I was skipping through the song and didn't hear it, but I definitely hear it now at 1:00
|
| |
sue the meme till it dies
|
| |
Maybe Radiohead hate Lana Del Rey that's all and they're a bit bored at the moment.
|
| |
Lana Del Rey > Radiohead
|
| |
no he shouldn't
|
| |
the should sue Nothing for Eaten by Worms then
|
| |
yes the should
|
| |
This feels a bit of a reach.
I could name at three instances off the top of my head where the rip-off is so blatant, that I think it's actually hilarious.
|
| |
The verse is a rip-off. She must lose in court.
|
| |
Llama Del Ray
|
| |
you could replace lana's lyrics with Creep's at 1:00 and it would be a perfect match
|
| |
Yeahhhhhhh, I'm with Radiohead on this one. The similarities are uncanny. Albeit, Radiohead may have ripped this song off themselves, but how many people reallllllly know that Hollies song? Everyone and their grandmothers knows "Creep", it's forever enriched in pop culture, so Lana and her songwriters really should've seen this coming.
|
| |
radiohead should get sued too
|
| |
I don't see that happening, they got lawyers out the ass. But who knows? It's almost as if their reasoning is: "Well, I guess if anyone is gonna make money off such a terrible song, it's gonna be us."
|
| |
"creep" is a good song tbh
|
| |
I would totally say the same if the song wasn't shoved down my throat for the past 25 years.
|
| |
radiohead doesnt have enough money
|
| |
Hmm, the songs are pretty similar.
Radiohead is huge and everyone knows the song Creep. They've made millions off of it. I would just let it go. Also funny how they don't even acknowledge the existence of Pablo Honey but still wanna sue.
|
| |
they did it for the lulz
|
| |
When's Chino gonna sue Glassjaw tho?
|
| |
Lana Del Rey > Radiohead[2]
Also, if Lana has really offered 40% I don't know what they expect to gain from bringing this to court. It's not like this is some massive hit, is it really worth the trouble to potentially gain a few more percentage points? How much do they really expect to get, clearly the 100% figure is bs.
|
| |
probably just the recognition, or just the lulz
lana del rey sucks btw
|
| |
its greed and ego, signs that maybe radiohead need to move on with their lives tbh
|
| |
ya this was blatant. no, radiohead doesnt need the money, but lana can get fucked if she thinks this is even mildly original.
|
| |
why couldn't it be about artistic integrity?
|
| |
"Lana Del Rey > Radiohead"
I want some of what y'all are smokin', y'all must be crazy
|
| |
del rey is barely passable tbh
|
| |
OHSHIT HE WENT THERE
|
| |
Yeah, for real. I like her stuff, don't get me wrong, but she'll never hold a candle to Radiohead. At some point, she'll fade into obscurity, while Radiohead will still go down as legends or whatever. And I'm pretty sure all the people defending her are probably still in high school.
|
| |
Has artistic integrity ever been a real thing lol
|
| |
"Not really hearing the similarity tbh."
same this is pretty dumb
|
| |
its not about her being better than radiohead nobody thinks that its about radiohead, arguably the most successful band in the world since their origin, being petty
|
| |
Huh, I wonder what happens when like a smaller band sounds too much Radiohead and are selling records but maybe not that many. Would the band still sue them? If not, maybe they don't like that Lana is making a lot of profit from it.
|
| |
why can't radiohead be petty
and they're right
|
| |
being petty is never a positive
|
| |
not for other people
|
| |
Radiohead kinda hasssss become the butt of jokes and memes as of late, so maybe that's why they're being "petty".
|
| |
oh no oh damn its the same fuckin uhhh chord progression call up the lawyers get her for everything she's worth
|
| |
There's more similarities other than just the chord progression
|
| |
also can we talk about radiohead having to pay out to another band for copyright infringement on creep but they're trying to pull this
|
| |
the rhythm, the tone, the mood, etc
|
| |
"also can we talk about radiohead having to pay out to another band for copyright infringement on creep but they're trying to pull this"
Are we talking about The Hollies again?
|
| |
I guess so
don't get me wrong, i get *why* they're suing, but it just seems kinda hypocritical to do so when they themselves did the same thing to another band for the SAME reason
|
| |
I guess it's not a big deal because no one ever gave a shit about The Hollies. But that's just my guess.
|
| |
But there is totally no denying that Radiohead ripped their song off. Maybe a rookie mistake they made early in their career. Either way, Del Rey and her songwriters should've known better.
|
| |
"When's Chino gonna sue Glassjaw tho?"
lmaoo
|
| |
And Creep is a rip off of The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe" so Radiohead should kind of shut the fuck up on this one.
That said I'll take any opportunity to bash on Lana. She's the human embodiment of every cliched hipster girl you've ever met and her music is fucking garbage. I wish nothing but the opposite of success for her career.
|
| |
"I guess it's not a big deal because no one ever gave a shit about The Hollies."
Except yeah they definitely did and they were incredibly popular and were one of the 10 consistently highest charting musical acts in the UK in the 60s. They were basically just a step below the top tier of Beatles/Stones/Kinks as far as the British rock scene went at the time. They don't get the modern love they should.
|
| |
Lana Del Rey makes music for Xan'ed out white girls who dead-fish during sex.
|
| |
radiohead should be sued too
|
| |
"They were basically just a step below the top tier of Beatles/Stones/Kinks as far as the British rock scene"
Eh, never really been up my alley, and I hate The Rolling Stones.
|
| |
Radiohead should be sued for not stopping after Ok Computer.
|
| |
^lmao ok
|
| |
yeah they have no chance of winning this
|
| |
Radiohead absolutely should sue because they got sued out of half their royalties for Creep, I'm assuming. However there's no way they're gonna get 100% credit considering only the verses are cribbed and not the whole song.
But even if they did get 100% of the credit and royalties what does that translate to in the 2018 music industry economy? $50? xD
|
| |
He's got a point
|
| |
she was probably like "if they don't wanna play the song anymore, then I'll do it myself"
|
| |
I don't really understand how this stuff works but does it even make sense for Radiohead to sue? If they ripped off the song from The Hollies wouldn't The Hollies "own" that progression/whatever?
|
| |
Radiohead are pissy over their spotify royalties. They definitely care about money, whether they need it or not.
|
| |
They gave y'all too many free albums, they need that money now
|
| |
they're probably losing money with the lawsuit, so it's not about the money tbh
|
| |
Also, Thom needs a new eyeball every 3 years. Don't deprive him of that you heartless bastards.
|
| |
This is WAAAAAY closer to Creep than Creep is to The Air That I Breathe.
I'm not saying I care about this, but that's worth noting I guess
|
| |
Chances are Radiohead has lawyers who's job it is is to sue anyone who creates a song stirringly similar to theirs. Look at Disney, they by default sue anyone and anything that possibly infringes on their trademarks, and it's not personal it is purely procedural:
https://www.theselfemployed.com/law/disney-threatened-sue-daycare-centers/
I think music is very much in a similar vein. An artist's music is everything to them. They should be proactively protecting their source of income from being infringed upon.
|
| |
yeah i was thinking that too
artists don't even have to be aware that the lawsuit is happening at all
|
| |
"I don't really understand how this stuff works but does it even make sense for Radiohead to sue? If they ripped off the song from The Hollies wouldn't The Hollies "own" that progression/whatever?"
From what I've read, Radiohead had to give The Hollies a co-writing credit, so maybe it's safe to assume that they lost approximately 50% of the royalties.
However, this also relates to the Rolling Stones/Verve dispute over Bittersweet Symphony. The difference there is that The Verve directly sampled a Rolling Stones song rather than just recording similar music. Even then, the Stones initially settled for 50% before pushing for 100%, which they probably only achieved because they had way more clout and resources and The Verve couldn't (at the time) afford to fight it out and protect their interests.
In this instance, Lana Del Rey is already successful and rich, and can probably protect her interests in the song if she wants to. But my feeling is that The Hollies will get 50% of whatever Radiohead gets out of the song. So here's my breakup of how the royalties may devolve.
Possibility I: Most likely scenario
1. Del Rey - 50%
2. Radiohead - 25%
3. The Hollies - 25%
Possibility II: If The Hollies ALSO sue
1. The Hollies - 33-50%
2. Del Rey - 25-33%
3. Radiohead - 25-33%
Possibility III: If Del Rey capitulates
1. Radiohead - 50%
2. The Hollies - 50%
3. Del Rey - 0%
|
| |
this turned into game theory, statistics and probabilities
|
| |
I also hear it was the managers who are doing the suing, perhaps not the band members themselves.
|
| |
"Also, Thom needs a new eyeball every 3 years. Don't deprive him of that you heartless bastards."
loool
|
| |
Radiohead needs money and Del Rey makes unoriginal music. Not much new in 2018 huh
|
| |
Didn't read the thread but is there a chance this is the label that released Pablo honey ?
|
| |
only 888 comments till we break this thread
|
| |
Thom isn't a greedy man, I think this was their lawyers entirely
|
| |
Scandalous
|
| |
thom is an angel !! he would never dare!!!~
|
| |
Yeah and can you really trust someone who makes pop music
|
| |
it's kinda similar for the first verse, but everything else is totally different.
|
| |
40% feels like a fair offering here. Inspiration can, unfortunately, be subconscious sometimes, and there's more than just a little similarity here.
|
| |
Playing Devil's Advocate a little bit more, but copyright owners have to set a precedence by suing people whom infringed upon their copyrights otherwise they may lose even more down the line because a judge will say, "You didn't have a problem with x infringement, you're not allowed to have a problem with y infringement."
I base this off of the reading I did about companies like Blizzard shutting down private servers and the like. I don't have any judicial expertise so correct me if I'm wrong.
|
| |
Thom's got the all seeing googly eye
|
| |
People are saying they don’t see the resemblance to this? The chord progression is literally exactly the same and some of her vocal melodies are nearly identical, save one or two syllables
|
| |
drag the hipster sellout !
|
| |
offering 40% is pretty much an admission of guilt.. should have played it cool, and said she'd never even heard of Creep, Radiohead, Britain or music..
|
| |
The chord progression IS the same but that isn't saying all that much. It's a few chord put together, something anyone could have stumbled on accidentally or not.
And I mean, just look at all the songs that use the classic famed "4 chords" and aren't considered plagiarism. There are some added similarities here that do make for a case but I don't feel it's all that strong. The 40% (along with opportunity to bypass all the legal bs) seems like a reasonable offering to my unknowledgeable self.
|
| |
"Eh, never really been up my alley, and I hate The Rolling Stones."
I just meant in terms of popularity not the quality of their music. They were really big in the UK in their heyday. Very successful.
|
| |
"offering 40% is pretty much an admission of guilt"
Not at all. Its not uncommon to pay out to avoid going through the time and money needed defending yourself from a lawsuit.
|
| |
"Radiohead should be sued for not stopping after Ok Computer."
Thinking their alt rock era was the peak of their career, lol what a pleb.
|
| |
""offering 40% is pretty much an admission of guilt"
Not at all. Its not uncommon to pay out to avoid going through the time and money needed defending yourself from a lawsuit."
sounds guilty to me.. burn her! burn the thieving witch! that's how contemporary social laws work now, isn't it?
|
| |
If it wasn't pointed out to me I probably never would have noticed.
|
| |
Some of you are legit deaf.
|
| |
I just listened to her song for the first time. All I can say is she has no chance of winning.
|
| |
"Not at all. Its not uncommon to pay out to avoid going through the time and money needed defending yourself from a lawsuit."
Re-posting my prior reply to this statement because I'm curious as to how somebody who thinks along your lines would respond:
You're right in that regard, but I would argue that as a recording artist if my creativity, originality, and integrity were on the line I would fight tooth and nail to defend myself.
|
| |
Easy to say when it's not your money being flushed defending yourself.
There's no telling how much time and money going to court will take.
|
| |
Not like they need the money, dammit. And she bargaining with the shares is hilarious lol [2]
|
| |
"There's no telling how much time and money going to court will take."
According to the members of Tool, it consumes their entire lives. Forever.
|
| |
“I don't know what's more embarrassing for radiohead, this lawsuit or admitting Creep exists and is their song.”
My feelings exactly. Let the girl sing a bad song that your band isn’t even proud of and wasn’t wholly original anyway. Dis petty af
|
| |
I love Kid A as much as the next man but Radiohead are a bunch of fucking hypocrites for this.
The Hollies should definitely sue, tho.
|
| |
Lana Dey should poison Thom's Rogaine.
|
| |
they got sued so bitches get sued too
i can only dream to be this petty and extra
|
| |
wait is it sputnik canon now to think creep is a bad song?
|
| |
"People are saying they don’t see the resemblance to this? The chord progression is literally exactly the same and some of her vocal melodies are nearly identical, save one or two syllables."
you know that like half the songs on the radio have the same chord progression, right? also, the verses have the same chord progression between these two songs, but lana's actually switches it during the chorus.
|
| |
"I don't know what's more embarrassing for radiohead, this lawsuit or admitting Creep exists and is their song. "
ajajajaja I could never have put it better
|
| |
The song is a hard rip. HARD RIP. Lana knows this. Radiohead probs shouldnt have cared as much as they did. A funny post about the resemblance to creep would have been better PR.
|
| |
Im a fan and i would have preferred they do what i said.
Eat shit
|
| |
Fuck your general.
|
| |
'Yeahhhhhhh, I'm with Radiohead on this one. The similarities are uncanny. Albeit, Radiohead may have ripped this song off themselves, but how many people reallllllly know that Hollies song? Everyone and their grandmothers knows "Creep", it's forever enriched in pop culture, so Lana and her songwriters really should've seen this coming."
that's so stupid. this whole thing is so stupid. Radiohead literally settled with The Hollies and the guy who wrote The Air That I Breathe is credited as a writer on Creep. Doesn't matter how big the song is.
Also, everyone steals everything. Guaranteed The Hollies stole it from someone smaller. That's how this shit works.
Also, for what it's worth, the Lana Del Rey song is the best of the 3. I don't see why Radiohead don't just let it go. Do they need the money? What's the point? They didn't write the song. Plus it's like a My Baby's First Chord Progression anyway. Not a lot to rip off. This whole thing is really dumb.
|
| |
"Easy to say when it's not your money being flushed defending yourself.
There's no telling how much time and money going to court will take."
What is your credibility worth to you?
|
| |
"wait is it sputnik canon now to think creep is a bad song?"
radiohead is boring so yeah :-)
|
| |
there's a creepy guy who lives down the street who should sue all of the parties involved..
ps. listening to TLC's creep now, fantastic tune!
|
| |
here and there..
|
| |
hahaha, shit.. I like insomniac and king of limbs the most because they're actually interesting and arty, as opposed to doing a good job at playing arty like a lot of their work.. kid a and in rainbows are their best albums all things considered though.. and the best tunes off ok computer are their absolute best songs, though that album was not the 90's zeitgeist I was part of.. last album was a fucking bore.. I hope that all made sense..
|
| |
yea, haha amnesiac (messing up that name is all sorts of meta).. should revisit them though, haven't listened properly in more than a year now..
|
| |
Secretly Radiohead is using the lawsuit to procrastinate making Rad10head.
|
| |
You used to be alright
What happened..
|
| |
As much as Radiohead annoys me and as much as their discography is overrated, I just listened to Lana's song and it's a pretty clear rip-off of Creep.
|
| |
if you think this lawsuit has merit, you aren't a musician.
|
| |
just bc songs have the same chord progression in the verse does not mean its a rip off. total joke
|
| |
I don't even hear the similarity tbqh idk
Seeing her live in a few weeks should be lit
|
| |
Remember when that rapper stole the drum break from that one song?
|
| |
I was listening the whole time thinking, "okay, maybe the chorus really sounds like it" but nope, nothing.
radiohead can fuck off with this lawsuit.
|
| |
Would you look at that? lowlife can read now. Christ on a cracker, it's a miracle!

It is quite similar, Radiohead has a case, as lame as it might seem to us. Not a bad song/remix though...
|
| |
Radiohead & Lana are in conspiracy to both stay relevant so they worked up this little situation to be in the news and get people talking about them
|
| |
Also, why aren't we talking about how Trent Reznor & Marilyn Matt Bellamy copied Johnny Cash's song with Lana Del Ray but no one acknowledges Cash'/Grande's ownership!?
|
| |
Complete bullshit tbh. And I hate every Lana Del Ray song I've ever heard.
|
| |
Fucking hypocrites. The same hipster assholes who have tried so hard to distance themselves from “Creep” are now trying to make a profit off another song that sounds like it. Like wtf? You’ve spent years bashing and trying to bury that song and now someone else releases a song that has similarities and now it’s time to make a profit? Fuck this band.
|
| |
Pure greed, I'm with Lana on this, and I hate her. Get this emo bitch outta ma face after this
Just kidding, she's hot
|
| |
Only liberal snowflake social justice warriors would get mad over radiohead suing that dumb bitch lana
|
| |
Just listened to the song, there are definitely similarities but to sue over it is pretty ridiculous.
|
| |
not a fan of either of them, but that shit is almost identical. I don't see anything wrong with the lawsuit tbh.
|
| |
"Also, for what it's worth, the Lana Del Rey song is the best of the 3. I don't see why Radiohead don't just let it go. Do they need the money? What's the point? They didn't write the song.

The amount of people in here who have no idea what they're talking about is mind boggling...
Thom Yorke and Company are not sitting on their computers bored trying to find songs that sound similar to theirs and suing. They have lawyers for christ sake who's job it is to protect their music and the use/exploitation of it. The chances that any of them probably are directly involved with this are slim to none.

idk man, the album came out a bit ago now. pretty sure if it was solely lawyers/execs, this would've came earlier
|
| |
I admittedly don't know much about how that stuff works but does it really make sense that their legal team would initiate something of this magnitude without the band being involved in any way? I find that hard to believe...
|
| |
no, it does happen. just usually not this far out from when something is released. it seems way more petty than that
|
| |
I'm sure the band would have to agree with them to pursue it, but I'd say there's no chance in hell they started this. Radiohead are one of the biggest most successful bands in the world, they have lawyers and pay other people to deal with this.

"no, it does happen. just usually not this far out from when something is released. it seems way more petty than that"
Really? Almost most of the lawsuits in terms of musical infringement I've ever seen are usually years if not decades after the song in question was released.
Hell Bittersweet symphony came out in 1997 and it was until 1999 that the Rolling Stones sued The Verve, and that was years after releasing one of the most popular songs of the 90s.

It’s one thing to make a song with a similar chord progression to an obscure song— you can plausibly deny you’ve ever heard it before and plead ignorance. I can’t believe no one in Lana’s camp and said “well that’s the same melody as “Creep”, a hugely famous song”. Sam Smith and the Tom Petty thing is similar.

People saying they don’t hear a resemblance are absolutely ridiculous.

^ this

Even though this may be a silly lawsuit, if you think she didn't rip that chorus from creep you are painfully fucking tone deaf.

Also, fuck pitchfork, but this

Radiohead could do a cover of the Lana Del Rey song.
|
| |
they could
|
| |
it'd make more sense of the hollies sued but whatevs lol
|
| |
Thats hilarious because when I originally listened to the album this was one of my faves because it sounded a lot like creep
|
| |
also, fine, 40% sounds fair to me tbh.
|
| |

The same chord progression in some of the verses =/= plagiarism.

Hmm.
Creep (acoustic version) > The Air That I Breathe > Get Free > Creep (album version), imo
Don't hear THAT much of a similarity between Creep and The Air That I Breathe, but Get Free is just the same melody, de facto. That said, the melody sounds very common and there are probably a lot of other songs out there that sound quite like it. Not that that matters in this particular case - wait, not that it matters at all because allegedly, Radiohead didn't sue her.
It's confusing.
|
| |
In one corner we have a band of world-weary weirdos who once made some hits, and in the other we have a ditzy girl roleplaying as a femme fatale.
They're going to settle who owns the rights to a common chord progression.
It's the artistic battle of the century!

dumb breakdown tbh
|
| |
Of the week then.
|
| |
yeah she definitely stole this. She even does that little vocal drop thingy at the 54 second point
|
| |
Stealing implies someone lost something.
|
| |
steal: to appropriate without right or acknowledgement, as in ideas, words, songs, etc.
|
| |
yo idk if anyone else heard but Radioheads manager released a statement earlier, apparently their is NO lawsuit, Radiohead just wanted some acknowledgement because of how similar the songs sound. they're not looking for royalties at all. lana might have made this out to be something way bigger than it actually is, possibly to drum up some media attention? or maybe she was just massively let down by everything the band did post-OK Computer and wants them taken out
|
| |
they sound a bit but i want to hear pop they have money why did they do this to get mad at some one for the song
i have a new cd to come out i made
|
| |
both are songs sounding a similar but neither songs hits hard on my cd player
|
| |
So shes just an attention whore then i guess. Not a bad way to get publicity i suppose.
|
| |
"Radiohead themselves were successfully sued by over Creep's similarities to The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies."
Heh
