Steal from your OWN band time and again and you're called Nickelback.markfiend wrote:Steal from one person, it's theft.
Steal from two people, it's derivative.
Steal from three or more people, it's influenced by an eclectic knowledge of music history.

It's virtually impossible NOT to borrow if you want to play the blues though. Same three chords, laid out in one of a couple of basic formats... then once you're limited by the number of notes you can use in a melody over that, you can only come up with so many combinations really. It's pretty inevitable some of them are going to sound the same. And that applies to a lesser extent to rock and roll as well. I often wonder how many cases of plagiarism are less a case of deliberate "nicking", and more the result of a lack of imagination and a fear of trying out more unusual chords and scales because it will sound less commercial.markfiend wrote:Back to the original linky from Blast I was aware of the fact that The Zep "borrowed" a number of blues classics, especially on the first two albums ("Lemon Song" springs to mind) but nicking off your contemporaries is a bit sh!tty.

Nah, not convinced on that one. Plus DM had left Puk by the time the Sisters had set up camp.Bartek wrote:someone pointed that "more" by here-well-known-band is quite similar to some DM song from "Violator" (dun't remember what - too much butter and meat), especially intro and as i checked it is indeed "close" but it's hard to say who borrow idea from who cause both bands where in the same studio during same time and release album in the same year.

I suppose the most obvious rip-off by that band in particular is "We are the same, Suzanne"/"I wanna be adored" by TSR. Which is a great shame, as it's the best tune since anything on Floodland.Bartek wrote:someone pointed that "more" by here-well-known-band is quite similar to some DM song from "Violator" (dun't remember what - too much butter and meat), especially intro and as i checked it is indeed "close" but it's hard to say who borrow idea from who cause both bands where in the same studio during same time and release album in the same year.
