Songs that sound the same?
Songs that sound the same?
I notice this sometimes and wondered if anyone else ever has. For example Motley Crue's- Knock Em' Dead Kid sounds much like Judas Priest's- Grinder or vise versa . I could be wrong but the main riff is very similar. There is alot of this in today's music I think. Is this because of a bands influance on an other or is it just like one of those Vanilla Ice things.
Does anyone else know any songs that are very similar to each other?

this is ok though because "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is one of my favorite songs.. but then again I think it's prolly cuz of it being written about Bud Dwyer blowing the roof off of his head on national television..Craven Sound wrote:Godsmack is the king of rip-off. Listen to Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter, then listen to Keep Away. Resemblance? Ooh yeah.
my sadistic side loved watching that movie, and i have it downloaded on my computer at home, and it owns.. the funniest part is at the end when you hear this in the background..

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is actually a cover song. Zep heard (of all people) Joan Baez singing it and decided to cover it. The song was originally written by a young folk singer named Anne Briggs.YankeeRose wrote:"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", Led Zeppelin and "25 or 6 to 4", Chicago...there are parts in each that sound very similar, if not similar. I asked a while ago in another Thread which one was done first. Does anyone know?
Zep's version came out a year before Chicago did "25 or 6 to 4".
Dood...

Even though The Yardbirds also did Train Kept A Rollin', they took the exact same music and put completely different words to it for a song called "Stroll On" for the 1966 movie Blow Up, which they also played the song in the movie. The Yardbirds track on Blow-Up is one of the only ones that feature Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page both playing guitar.
This soundtrack was Herbie Hancock's debut as a film-score composer, BLOW-UP benefits from the fact that its Italian director was a jazz aficionado and includes the Herbie Hancock tune, "Bring Down the Birds," whose bass line was later incorporated into the 1990 Deee-Lite hit "Groove Is In the Heart."
Two other side notes about the soundtrack are contributions from Lovin' Spoonful members Steve Boone and John Sebastian and from Steve Howe's pre-Yes outfit Tomorrow.

Hank Williams "Mind Your Own Business" and "Pride and Joy" Acoustic by SRV. Exact same music EM7 A7 and B7.
I think all music is the same just somewhat evolved ever since some caveman started hitting a hollow log with a stick and started humming.
That's the way music seems to be. If you only ever listened to one song and tried to write another it would have influences. No way around it unless you never ever listened to music and wrote a song. This would be a good trick!

I think that a lot of creed sounds the same, but it was good, and the guitar didnt really sound the same, just the vocal melodies.
Nickelback had a rut with the last album where everything sounded exactly like the album before that, but they have, since then, gotten 3 Doors Down's drummer, and thats where the big change came.
Its crazy....something as simple as a drummer can make such a big difference

Yeah I remeber when the first album came out. I thought hey these guys are gonna be alright. Then it seemes like Stapp kept trying to right the same song. Temonti is pretty damn good. I was really sick of Nickel Back but there new stuff sounds alot better. Animals rocks pretty hard.

I did not know that Beck and Page played guitar together. I had always thought Page played bass when Beck was on giter.
