Melody ripoffs...

[Schroeder]

Just heard a song on the radio by KC and Jojo called "All My Life" and it hit me that I had heard it before. The piano part is almost identical to the main hook in Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson.

Your so right on that one! Blatant ripoff there.

Dani California / RHCP (The Ripoff)
Maryjanes Last Dance / Tom Petty (Original)

Last Night / The Strokes ( The Close Ripoff)
I Want You To Want Me / Cheap Trick & (Original)

Just a couple that I hit me pretty obviously.

dont even strat on the chilis/petty thing!!!!!!!! been there waaaaaaaay too many times, yes, very similar, that is all lol!

not sure i can agree with the strokes vs/cheap trick though? might have to give both another listen and see what else i can come up with :)

[Schroeder]

Thought of another one, I was listening to Led Zeppelin, the Ocean (recorded in 1972), the other day and the acapella part in the middle where Robert Plant sings, na na nana na na, na nananana nana na, etc. sounds remarkably similar to the guitar intro for Voodoo Chile by Hendrix (recorded May 2, 1968). Listen to them!! Maybe I am crazy...

Ha ha. I though I was the only one who noticed things like that.
I heard Rage against the machines' Killing in the name of- And thought it sounded like Budgies' First song.The whole score is ripped off.
Buckethead borrowed a couple Primus riffs too.
