frankwhite Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 theres only so many variations u can apply to the three chord formula until ur repeating somethin thats been done i.e.hello i love u - the doors = submission - sex pistolsjohnny thunders famously got on a table during a gig once n asked people to shout out names of his songs so he could tell em where he ripped em off from.

Angelica Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 its true. listen to nirvana's 'heart shaped box', "hey...wait i need a new complaint. now listen to white lion's wait, "wait...wait i never had a chance to love you. see theyre a little similarThe line is "hey, wait...I've got a new complaint" and the comparison is silly, IMO. Nirvana ripped off great bands like the Pixies and Husker Du, not shite like WL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamisonic Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Some people here REALLY need to get their brains checked.And even if its a slight rip, dude, you can't invent new chords to make your music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were influenced by Chuck at the beginning, but listen to any of their later releases ('Revolver' for arguments sake) and tell me how much Chuck you hear. LOL! The Beatles were more influenced by Eastern Philosophy and LSD than Chuck Berry. Edited November 28, 2006 by Ions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsicoca Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The intro from "It's so easy" is stolen from a Sex Pistols song called "Liar".Who cares ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ions Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) The intro from "It's so easy" is stolen from a Sex Pistols song called "Liar".Who cares ? 1. It's So Easy (Outro) - Combination (Chorus) - (Aerosmith - Rocks)2. Paradise City (Verses) - Zero The Hero (Verses) - (Black Sabbath)3. Locomotive (Verses) - Lord Of The Thighs (Outro) - (Aerosmith) - (Rocket Queen also has LOTT all over it)4. SCOM (Ending) - Sounds much like - I'd Love To Change The World - (Ten Years After)5. 'Get In The Ring' sounds a ton like 'Already Gone' by The Eagles, which I've always found hilarious.The list goes on and on. Not just for GnR, but all music. It's nothing new. Influences.

wasted Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 "I guess I'm talking about early Beatles. They were a cover band on speed. Early hits Love me do, the fast pops songs Chuck Berry. Lennon said this. Elvis and Chuck Berry. It's not a direct copy but some chords are very similiar on With The Beatles. Revolver was something else, something new. Tommorrow Never Knows has first drum loop ever. No band before them had the freedom to experiment in studio. Its unbelieveable. And with all the technology we have today the record companies just want Love Me Do with attitude.The funniest one I ever heard was Travis guy said he wrote whole album by rearranging the chords on Oasis' Wonderwall for The Man Who album.

Interesting. I'd never heard that. I like 'Travis'. - - If you like bands like 'Travis', you should definately check out 'Elbow'. Great band.
