Anyone ever notice this? Ripoff?[views:4116][posts:9]______________________________ [Feb 3,2013 6:17pm - Hoser ""] Check it out.....really similar or a complete ripoff. bennyhillifier bennyhillifier You don't even need to listen closely, just listen. |

To me the first song is painful, and the second one is pretty good; the verses in Creep try to take up less frequencies and have slightly less variance in the vocal melody while also have an extra clean guitar melody going, although the relative constancy of its patterns bind together the verse just like the vocals do, so it's a certain degree of less is more but mostly just better is better. Chord progressions can't be copyrighted. It's kind of like how so many of the best songs include a lot of usage of i and VI, but it's still possible for someone to find a way to fuck even a i-VI song up if they suck at writing enough. When it comes to Green Day and Chicago sharing the i VII IV VI V progression, it's the same thing of how nobody can own that; I'm surprised no one also argued that the Chicago song is actually a rip of Led Zepplin's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, and no one replied that the Beatles' verses of Guitar Gently Weeps came first, and no one said back that the Anne Bredon original version of the Zepplin song actually came before that, and on and on and on.... |
