Virginia Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You guys are gonna totally dog me on this, but I have both of these on my iPod and the first ~ 2 seconds of the opening drones confuse me every time. And then I think these 2 are very similar (the choruses): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 This song: Has a very Doors-y vibe; kind of like a mashup of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58ceB8U9N3w and (wonder if the new Doors thought of this guy? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewieCox Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I see a law siute here if they wanted. It would be unsucessful. It's the same chord progression, but it's played a little different. It's prolly been in dozens of other famous tunes. Stuff has to be pretty identical for a lawsuit to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) When I first heard this acoustic track, it sounded a little (not alot) like "Easy Does It" from the Coverdale-Page album. A friend said he thought it sounded like "Four Sticks", but I think it sound 'a little' like "Easy Does It".

Gospel Zone Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Santana's "Evil Ways" from 1969 Shadows Of Knight-"Bad Little Woman" which came out in 1966. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 As soon as I saw Lady Gaga perform "Born This Way" on the Grammys, I immediately thought of Madonna's "Express Yourself"...as I'm sure a million other people did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbreaker Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) A very striking similarity between the opening guitar riff of The Prince by Diamond Head and Phantom Lord by Metallica. Considering how much of an influence the former band was on the latter, I wouldn't be suprised if the main riff of Phantom Lord was inspired by The Prince. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp410VXKrhE Edited May 24, 2011 by Starbreaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Does anyone hear Jimmy Page in this song? I do, especially the guitar solo at 2:37 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHzNttz0QGQ The guitarist is Barry Dunnery (RIP), brother of Francis.

Virginia Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 This one has a very Peter Gabriel-y / Genesis vibe, although I can't pick out any particular song to compare it with: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Tom Petty nicked the riff for "Mary Jane's Last Dance" from the opening of the Jayhawk's "Waiting For the Sun". He also appropriated his "rebel without a clue" line in "Into the Great Wide Open" from the Replacements' "I'll Be You". Not really that hard to figure out as both bands opened for him prior to either of those Petty records being released. There was also a line he lifted from John Prine (also an opening act) around this same time period but I can't think of it right now. When asked about it, Prine referenced the famous quote, "good artists borrow, great artists steal". In other words, he didn't seem to mind. Apparently neither did the Jayhawks or the Replacements even though the Replacements didn't exactly have the time of their lives on that tour (which can be heard on the infamous Shit Shower and Shave boot, recorded during their opening stint for Petty back in '89). Years later, when asked about Petty stealing the "rebel without a clue line" Paul Westerberg said, "I'd steal something back from him, if I could find something I liked".

Jahfin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Back when Bill Fitzhugh had his All Hand Mixed Vinyl program on Sirius/XM's Deep Tracks channel he matched these two tunes up to great effect. Why they chose to drop him and bring on Jim Ladd is anyone's guess. http://youtu.be/Rvkvjummb7g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "Lies" by the Knickerbockers doesn't remind me of any song in particular but it does remind me of the Beatles in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
