Motley Crue's "Kickstart my heart"

Also Metallica's "Fade to black" is a rip off of Iron Maidens "children of the damned" in terms of song structure and chord progression

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Butterfly by Crazy Town is a rip off of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Pretty Little Ditty

Erm...i thought they sampled it, and actually admitted to doing so as well.

 

[hrundi99]

Yeah there's an obvious difference between an obvious "sample" and being a little more discreet about it.

Rogue Traders are very obviously "sampling" the other songs, so they don't count.

 

[shadow grinder]

its called SOS by rihanna and i think the song she rips off is "tainted love".

 

[Simo]

Achy breaky heart by Billy Ray Cyrus was a total rip off of Achin breakin heart by some unknown which flopped. Such a smal changed made some neville a millionaire but left the original neville a neville.....go figure.

And I always found this a rip off.....

Nirvana come as you are lyrics:
Take your time, hurry up
the choice is yours, dont be late

Blink182 Adams song lyrics:
I took my time, I hurried up
the choice was mine, i didnt think enough

Now unless there was a credit to Mr Cobain I never saw that is blatant!

 

[carcharias]

blink 182 and The Archies
