Anything by "Airbourne" sounds like or is directly stolen from AC/DC's early Bon Scott era.

I don't have a problem with that at all.

Anyone who likes early AC/DC or those mid to late 80's cock rock bands should check out their album "Runnin' Wild".

All others will hate it.

When i'm driving, it makes me want to put fingerless leather gloves on and put one hand on the roof of the car.

i think he rewrote it with different lyrics and called it "Red Money". Its on the Lodger LP. He did the same thing with China Girl too. Not really stealing if he wrote em though.

and the beginning of "there she goes again" is in turn swiped by the smiths "there is a light that never goes out".


No no, Marr claimed he took the riff from Hitch Hike, but he liked the fact that people thought he took it from VU. I guess he was judging people on their riff vocabulary.


1999 and Manic Monday are the same until you get to the chorus. Is this made better or worse by the fact that Prince stole it from himself?


I don't know if this counts, but Love Me Do and the Sesame Street theme have a weird similarity.


And Chris Brown's "With You" sounds just like Beyonce's "Irreplaceable." You guys probably didn't mention it because it's too obvious.

Wow, we're really mining the dregs of early '90s Headbanger's Ball deep cuts now.

We'll be coming back with White Trash right here in the studio, after "Frantic Fringe" videos from Liquid Jesus and Mordred!


Compared to bands shown the 80's Powerhour show, those two are musical geniuses.

neil young/buffalo springfield - mr soul

vs.

rolling stones - satisfaction (no point in linking to this one really, is there?)

anyway ripped off or not for technique, lyrics, vocals there can only be one winner.
