I read that spirit opened up for led zep prior to them making such a similar song and quite a few of their songs are similar to bands who opened up for them.
Yes, as discardedbard said, the reason that "The Last Time" doesn't sound like "Bittersweet Symphony" is because The Verve actually sampled a different version of "The Last Time, as performed by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. If you listen to the Oldham version and then "Bittersweet Symphony," they sound quite alike.
Spirit and Led Zeppelin have gone to court recently over this very issue- phooey for the statuetes of limitation, or someboby would be a VERY wealthy man- research the story and draw your own conclusions.. I won't say rip off, but I might say a complete and total lack of professional courtesy made MILLIONS for a band that can't write their own music... also check their other records- blues rip-offs from the Old-Timers... Led Zeppelin is a fraud on almost all accounts!!!
The Rolling Stones' "The Last Time" sounds even more like "Bittersweet Symphony" when it was performed by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. Look it up on YouTube, you'll see what I'm talking about.
oh no i heard the barbie girl again and yeah it sounds like leann stole it :O I know dont look back in anger has the piano beginning as Lennons imagine but they got the ok to use it so its not plagerism :D
I know there are a lot of similarites between these songs, but think about it: maybe the artists who "stole" the tune heard the song before and didn't know where, so they just used it.
And also, George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" is much prettier than that "He's So Fine", "Du-lang, du-lang, du-lang" stuff
Some more that aren't here....Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms sounds remarkably like Snowy White - Bird of Paradise. Morrissey - Certain People I know has the same guitar riff as T-Rex - Ride a White Swan
I believe the Jayhawks also copied "Mary Jane's Last Dance." The drums from "Here Comes My Girl" sound like the drums in "Walk This Way." "Break on Through" by the Doors sounds like a Harry Belefonte song whose name I can't remember (The Crawdad Song?). Roger McGuinn admitted that the rhythm guitar in the Byrd's version of "Mister Tambourine Man" was inspired by "Don't Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys.
About the Spirit song and Led Zeppelin, Taurus clearly goes from High notes to Low notes and Stairway goes from low to high so really no arguement aboutthat
"The Last Time" (1966) by The Andrew Oldham Orchestra off their album "The Rolling Stones Songbook" (re-released and remastered in 2004 on CD), sampled by The Verve for their song "Bitter Sweet Symphony", available on their album "Urban Hymns". use the youtube extension of watch?v=cVuh1Ymve2I
Haha! Sum 41 is a complete rip-off. George Harrison got sued and lost by the Chiffons, deservingly. Save the Day also completely ripped off no doubt. Puddle of Mudd are known for ripping people off, I think. RHCP is innocent. Page's subconscience = Stairway
I've always been aware of the similarities betweent "Hello I Love You" and "All Day and All of the Night" (both great songs, btw), but Morrison's song was based on the vocal melody while the Kinks' song was all about the guitar riff.
and i was wondering what the song is in the very beginning when you give the "warning" about the video. i've heard it somewhere before but i can't rememeber! what's it called?
ummm... Weezer's Beverly Hills is the almost the same chord change as the Sweater song. Is Weezer ripping off Weezer? Nobody's copying anybody. write a chord change down and I'll find you 20 bands who did it too. Bowie and the Village People weren't ripping off Pachelbel, I swear.
Some of these songs are very compelling and I daresay, some people are copying others, but not for the reasons stated.
Avril Lavigne didn't write her own songs. So what? Nobody did until about 1965.
Probably all coincidence. Most pop/rock songs are only 4 chords and there are only so many sequences you can pick from. The exception might be the Verve - who used a loop from the Rolling Stones on the Urban Hymns album, But they did pay royalties to Jagger/Richards in the end.
with last dance with mary jane and dani california i've noticed that melanie c's aka sporty spice's song carolyna the beginning sounds just like them. listen to them back to back you'll see what mean
The George Harrison one was actually a copyright infringement case where the judge found against Ol George. I wonder how many of the others have gone to court.
Shortly before Bridges To Babylon was released, The Stones noticed that this sounds a lot like K.D. Lang's 1992 hit "Constant Craving." With a major publicity push and tour for the album on the way, they wanted to avoid a lawsuit, so they listed Lang and her "Constant Craving" co-writer Ben Mink as composers along with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. This ensured that Lang received royalties, for which she was grateful.
heres the thing there are 12 notes in music AA#BCC#DD#EFF#GG# so there are some that are bound to sound the same, and there are always simple chord progressions that millions of bands use
With Tom Petty and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, you could have gone even further into the song. Even the phrasing of the lyrics is the same, just a little faster tempo in Dani, California.
the verve used andrew oldham orchestra's version of "the last time" not the original rolling stones song. of course the original rolling stones one is similar but the andrew oldham orchestra version is basically the same as bittersweet symphony
You're a dumbass. Hollywood Undead uses a credited sample from Crazy Train. Don't put stuff on the internet if you don't know what you're talking about.
Interesting. One I can think of is 'Lady Madonna' by the Beatles (1968) and 'What i got' by Sublime (1997), both great songs, but listen for yourself - the tune to the first verse is identical.
For the coldplay and sum41, add in Zombie by the Cranberries, and Face down by Red Jump Suit Apparatus....(and the song that it basically rips off The kids aren't alright by the offspring).
Both face down and "kids" have "punkified" versions of the same melody.
you should put in there hawethorne heights vs hawethorne heights because the intro to 'pens and needles' and 'this is who we are' are pretty much the same
the verve sampled an orchestras version of the rolling stones song, but mick jagger said they used "to much" of the sample and filed a lawsuit against them. The rolling stones now own all the royalties to bittersweet symphony
i fuckin hate the stones i always have. the verve got fucked over by old assbags. p.s., the doors are the best! like to see someone copy "the end" and get away with that
Here's the thing with guitar/ general music- it can't be patented, and the combination of lyrics and the soundtrack is what is copy righted. So, a band CAN take the basis of a song and write new original lyrics, change a couple things to it, and it is a new and legal song, because music has been around so long there are only so many combinations. So, yes there are similarities, but it isn't a copy right issue.
not that similar, the verve got fucked. THe two songs have completey different feelings. And leave it to the stones to bitch about being ripped off when they ripped off about every blues man in America. Just fucked up
The Last Time by the Stones was not the song in dispute. Check out Andrew Oldham's orchestral version of the song - it's a blatantly obvious that The Verve copied the whole thing, cleaned it up and added some lyrics. The thing is... they made it better. So even more bad vibes to the Rolling Stones for suing The Verve for a track that sounds nothing like the original version of the Last Time.
WIN and they complained about LIL WAYNE for taking playing with fire.... its just a black man trying to get back at a band who took a bunch of blacks and made money off it...
WTF the verve song and the stones song have a very simlar chord progression but so does all rock n'roll. The two songs create a completely different feeling this was just major douchebaggery on the part of the stones.
This is a good one. U could do it Neil Young-Southern man then sweet home alabama which was a reply song to southern man then go to tom petty then RHCP.
Sum 41 didn't steal Pieces, it was on their 2004 album Chuck, the lead singer Deryck had orginally written it on piano, but for Cuck, recorded it using guitars and shit
huh? isn't 'the first one' stones vs verve? r u tone deaf? they're similar arrangements of the same melody!
this was negotiated sampling, by verve, of stones, but things turned sour when stones claimed verve had used too much sample.
from memory, they all headed for court, but verve settled, and the rights (for the entire song, including verve's lyrics o_O ) reverted to the rolling stones.
The stones had nothing to do with the lawsuit. I guy by the name of Klein owned the rights to all the stones songs from the 60's and he's the one to sue. And his suit is based on a version by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. Check it out and you'll see how they are virtually the same.
It was the late 60s. Music of that time was really long just by virtue of the fact that the bands would just play random stuff forever. They could easily have stolen a little solo and added another 7:50 to it. I'm not agreeing that they DID, I'm just saying it's not impossible.
Goerge Harrison had to pay out for "My Sweet Lord".
The dumbest payout was for silence. A guy called John Cage had written a 4:30 piece of silence back in the 50's. Mike Batt wanted to put some silence between electric and acoustic tracks on an album so he put a minute's silence as a track and credited it to Batt/Cage as a joke. So Cage's publishers sued him and won. Who said Judges don't have a sense of humour?
what about shakira´s "estoy aquí" and the pretenders´s "i'll stand by you" they are close even in the titles but just in a diferent language jaja check it out!!
They were talking about the Springsteen/KISS rip off on the radio and the Stones/KD Lang one came up - apparently Mick's daughter noticed it first and Mick promptly called his record company saying "we have a problem". The story is a cheque was cut for KD Lang immediately, before anyone else even noticed it!
Hey Tiger, would've thought The Kinks' song was sampled by The Hives with Hate To Say I Told You So.

Here's the thing with guitar/ general music- it can't be patented, and the combination of lyrics and the soundtrack is what is copy righted. So, a band CAN take the basis of a song and write new original lyrics, change a couple things to it, and it is a new and legal song, because music has been around so long there are only so many combinations. So, yes there are similarities, but it isn't a copy right issue.

Compare anything by ELO (especially Don't Bring Me Down) to the Beatles (You Can't Do That)!

not that similar, the verve got fucked. THe two songs have completey different feelings. And leave it to the stones to bitch about being ripped off when they ripped off about every blues man in America. Just fucked up

The Last Time by the Stones was not the song in dispute. Check out Andrew Oldham's orchestral version of the song - it's a blatantly obvious that The Verve copied the whole thing, cleaned it up and added some lyrics. The thing is... they made it better. So even more bad vibes to the Rolling Stones for suing The Verve for a track that sounds nothing like the original version of the Last Time.

WIN and they complained about LIL WAYNE for taking playing with fire.... its just a black man trying to get back at a band who took a bunch of blacks and made money off it...

WTF the verve song and the stones song have a very simlar chord progression but so does all rock n'roll. The two songs create a completely different feeling this was just major douchebaggery on the part of the stones.

Intentional...Madonna purposely sampled ABBA for her song. Artists do that all the time.

Sum 41 didn't steal Pieces, it was on their 2004 album Chuck, the lead singer Deryck had orginally written it on piano, but for Cuck, recorded it using guitars and shit

How has Puddle of Mudd not been sued yet? That is so blatant it's not funny. Suicidal Tendencies should get some major coin from that.

the Stones still successfully sued the Verve over that song. Maybe thats just not the right part of the Stones song?
weezerrock89 2 years ago
huh? isn't 'the first one' stones vs verve? r u tone deaf? they're similar arrangements of the same melody!
this was negotiated sampling, by verve, of stones, but things turned sour when stones claimed verve had used too much sample.
from memory, they all headed for court, but verve settled, and the rights (for the entire song, including verve's lyrics o_O ) reverted to the rolling stones.

The stones had nothing to do with the lawsuit. I guy by the name of Klein owned the rights to all the stones songs from the 60's and he's the one to sue. And his suit is based on a version by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. Check it out and you'll see how they are virtually the same.

Damn, I hope the guys from Suicidal Tendencies see this, that Puddle of Mudd tune is just a little too similar.
BubbaHoTep01 2 years ago
It was the late 60s. Music of that time was really long just by virtue of the fact that the bands would just play random stuff forever. They could easily have stolen a little solo and added another 7:50 to it. I'm not agreeing that they DID, I'm just saying it's not impossible.

Wrong version of "Last Time" you should have used The Andrew Oldham Orchestra - The Last Time version.

Just to let you know, "He's So Fine" is from 1963, not 1966.

Man, Led Zep totally lifted thei ntro for Stairway To Heaven from that last song.
I didn't know they'd done that.
I think Tom Petty's Mary Jane's Last Dance sounds like a Neil Young track.

Goerge Harrison had to pay out for "My Sweet Lord".
The dumbest payout was for silence. A guy called John Cage had written a 4:30 piece of silence back in the 50's. Mike Batt wanted to put some silence between electric and acoustic tracks on an album so he put a minute's silence as a track and credited it to Batt/Cage as a joke. So Cage's publishers sued him and won. Who said Judges don't have a sense of humour?

They were talking about the Springsteen/KISS rip off on the radio and the Stones/KD Lang one came up - apparently Mick's daughter noticed it first and Mick promptly called his record company saying "we have a problem". The story is a cheque was cut for KD Lang immediately, before anyone else even noticed it!
