I posted this in babyJ's thread but realise it needs one of it's own.

Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well they are pretty similar. But It's not like that is a major step away from any previous Chili Peppers stuff. Just co-incidence.


Was there a similar outcry towards Marilyn Manson with Mobscene? The middle section is a blatant rip off of Faith No More's Be Aggressive. :?

yes...very similar indeed but i like both songs anyway so what the heck :wink:

who gives a stuff, RHCP are pretty good (brilliant live) and Petty well hes toilet. Let em get on wiht it

I cant listen to it the player wont work :cry: what am I doing wrong?

All music is derivative of something.
They cut this one a bit close to the original, but it's not plagiarism.

It's unlike the RHCP to rip something else off they dont really need to do they so I think it's just a co-incidence!!

(saw RHCP live in hyde Park a couple of years ago and they were amazing .. they had only gone and got James Brown to be their warm up act!!! - not many bands could pull that one out of the bag!!)

Hmmmmm!!

Very near the mark.... they do sound VERY similar!!

But I guess that's showbiz!

:D
