What A Rip-Off!!!

[Steel Dragon]

There are hundreds of songs out there which are blatant plageurisms.
Lets start listing them and exposing bands for the frauds they are.....


RHCP 'Dani California' -> Tom Petty 'Last Dance With Mary Jane'
Jet 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' -> Iggy Pop 'Lust For Life'
End Of Fashion 'Oh Yeah' -> The Pixies 'Where Is My Mind'

 

[Slappy]

Jet have made a career out of ripping off music!
They truly are impostors!

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Nirvana 'Come As You Are' -> Killing Joke 'Eighties'
Nirvana 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' -> Pixies 'Velouria'

 

[Slappy]

Rogue traders have ripped off the knack's My Sharona

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Rogue Traders rip off everything. They are kinda like a cover band.

 

[miniHINDY]

I can't really see the Pixies and End of Fashion one

 

[Skeletor]

Pearl Jam 'Given to Fly' rips off Led Zep's 'Goin to California'

Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" > "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult and "More Than A Feeling" by Boston (the chorus)

Me neither. Pixies >>> End Of Fashion.

I can't really see the Pixies and End of Fashion one

Are you kidding me?!?!?! Its so friggin obvious that when they do 'Oh Yeah' live, they drop into 'Where Is My Mind' before going back to 'Oh Yeah' to finish the song.

 

[carcharias]

Gotye has done some song ..now I dunno if he is meant to be sampling part of it or he has just burnt a copy of the song and wacked it on his cd.

It sounds exactly like the original.

jet also sounds like a Hall and Oates song

 

[Eskimo Sharkie]

Coldplay 'Talk' and Kraftwerk 'Computer Love' (though they did give them credit for it).

 

[Cupid Stunt]

Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" > "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult and "More Than A Feeling" by Boston (the chorus)

I've tried, much to my dismay, for two hours to make More Than A Feeling & Smells Like Teen Spirit meld but I'm buggered if I can hear that one...

 

[Ari Gold]

I can't really see the Pixies and End of Fashion one

WHAT?

[2 True Blues]

ALL Rap dancing twigs with chunky gold chains and computer enhanced no reading actual music losers take that cake. But will say one word and one word only. Wolfmother !!!!!!!!!!..........................( Zepps rock ) Or was that three words.......................LMFAO...................................
