Stars Ripped Off Matt Good

[Cherry Poppin' Daddy]

The bassline of One More Night is exactly the same as in Symbolistic White Walls.

 

Both great songs/bands, though.

The Matthew Good Band also initially ripped off The Watchmen.

Blasphemy!

[Gallick]

Hey, you're right.

 

Oh well. Both are rad, indeed.

[glassjaw]

what watchmen song do you speak of? haven't heard them in so long...oh how I miss them

[Crusader]

Didn't they play Vancouver a few years (2 or 3?) ago?

[Devil On Rollerskates]

Simple Minds ripped off Indestructible with their song Cry.

[C-Bacon]

The opening riff on 23 by Jimmy Eat World rips off Everything is Automatic.

[Typhoid]

Can we just agree that the music industry is a big rip-off of everything else and let this be?

[Dan #2]

There is a song on Underoath's latest CD that has the same opening riff as Buffallo Seven, if my memory serves me correctly.

I'm sure they didn't intentionally rip them off. But yeah, a few notes are the same, but in the end they're both completely different songs, so I dont' mind.

the only song that sounds even remotely like anything matt good ever put out on the underoath cd is "reinventing your exit" and you could say that it only vaguely (as in, not at all really) sounds like the very first three notes of north american for life.

[Cherry Poppin' Daddy]

I like Oasis. They rip everyone off.

[C-Bacon]

The riff in Weapon rips off Fucking in the Bushes by Oasis ;)

[manfromharoldwood]

i love matt good, but i don't think many artists would be ripping him off as he probably isn't too well known outside of canada...

[Scot]

i ripped off born to kill last night for a new song i'm demoing called funeral, that i've decided to include on the bsides album.

 

typhoid is right. it happens all the time. this is what we in the industry call sighting influence, or creative licensing.

Citing.

Artists ripping off other artists is just as natural as me not having a date on Friday night. It cannot be avoided, it's just a fact of life.

[rmak]

matt would never rip off anyone else. even if he did who cares, watchmen pale in comparison to the great Good.

s'cuse me??? ever heard a little song called "ex pats of the blue mountain symphony orchestra"?

How could the MGB rip off The Watchmen?

 

MGB's Underdogs came out on August 25th 1998

 

The Watchmen's Silent Radar came out on March 31st 1998

 

That would give the MGB 5 months to listen to Silent Radar, write similar songs, record those songs, produce the album, promote the album, the whole record label ordeal, etc...

 

Then Beautiful Midnight came out which sounds nothing like The Watchmen

 

Plus they were originally set to record Underdogs when the Foo Fighters were recording "The Colour and The Shape" (because the guy who produced that record was originally supposed to produce Underdogs) and that record came out May 20th 1997

ha. thanks.

 

and really, it's only an em/c/e progression, so it's hardly ripping him off.

 

edit: he's ripped off the who so many times i've lost count.

 

also, he ripped off (payed homage to, as he put it) the cover of pink floyd's animals taking it more than a step to far with the flying panda on loser anthems. shameless, seeing as he only did it to receive a letter from david gilmore's lawyer.

Underdogs came out in 1997. I'm pretty sure of that.

Because August 25th 1998.. Apparitions would have been 1-2 weeks away from hitting #1 on Muchmusic. Since songs take roughly 10-13 weeks to hit #1.. apparitions was already "old" and on its way down in many places.. i doubt the album would have been released during the time the 3rd single was about to fall down the charts..

 

oh the hell with logical explanations..

according to my advance promo copy of underdogs.. it says "release date: 10-07-97".. oct 7 97. which makes sense.. it would have been around the time EIA was released.

 

and the guy who produced underdogs was warne livesey.. if he produced the colour and the shape.. (which is an awesome album) give that man a prize of sorts.. he produced pretty much every album by mgb.. except LOTGA and Ray-Ray.

Dude read carefully...I said the guy who produced "The Colour and The Shape" (Gil Norton) was supposed to produce Underdogs

 

And you're right for the Underdogs release date (17 octobre 1997 to be exact)...and so my Watchmen theory works even more...
