Postby hibster » Mon Jan 10, 2011 8:32 am

The guitar solo on Oasis "Don't Look Back in Anger" is note for note the same as Primal Screams' "Damaged" from Screamadelica

Undertow - Warpaint, blatant rip off of Polly by Nirvana...... least they admit it though.

Nirvana-Come as you..the intro sounds like
Killing Joke-Eighties sounds like the intro to
The Damned-Life Goes On....From the album Strawberries..I used to own a copy of that and it actually did smell of strawberries

Thanks. I was racking my brains (what's left of them) to try and remember where I had heard that before - I can't believe I didn't recognise it! :oops:

On their old Setlists Undertow was always written as Polly.

REM confessed that the riff of What's the frequency Kenneth? is a copy of Bettie Serveert's Tomboy.
(If you remember the 90s ;) )

I never noticed that. Do you think Oasis really ripped off Primal Scream, or it was just a coincidence?

You'd probably find your answer on the youtube guitar videos...

The ones where they can play like 50 songs with the same cords in different ways.

The same happens in normal music, provided it's far enough from the original or copyright free they'll use it because it's an easy option.....

Personally if I we're an artist I'd prefer to make it on my own melodies than a few songs with someone else's.....

Well the solo seems to be note for note the same, and Noel is a magpie by his own admission so i think it was definitely intentional.

The last 4 Oasis albums (except for the Liam tracks, obviously, as they are ordure of a different order entirely...).
