My chemical romance steals from The smashing pumpkins

[ElisaLevon]

"identical'?go fuckin check the definition of identical.tard.

[ajt222]

You got your facts rong

[DGENERATE07]

not these songs but listen to 'Sleep' by mcr then 'The Aeroplane Flies High' (watch?v=O4E2oCK_rw8) by sp, that voice over sounds so fucking similar, i wonder if mcr knew that song...

[gremlin0890]

fake and gay

[daughterofhades98]

Shame I can play both those songs and the cords are almost completely different so nice try!

[XxSonicSalmonellaxX]

lots of songs start soft then get load.. if this is true the pumpkins have bin ripped many times before..

[KatyRose6]

gerard and billy look soooo much alike....

[Gorillarevolta]

yellow by coldplay?

[jennyroaleon]

deben escuchar muy bien.... no son el mismo ritmo..... que tristeza que no acepten my chemical romance es una excelente banda, originales no le copian a nadie..... esas canciones no se parecen en nada

[thecrowrip1]

kinda...

[AutumnAngelx3]

I hear like 1/1000th of a tinge of resemblance... but that's music in general. Everything has similarities because no matter what kind of music someone makes... they've all got the same few notes to work with.

[Outerspaceman21]

Are you deaf?

[creatureofthesun1991]

smashing pumpkins=talent

my chemical romance=commercial crap

[tallyhoman911]

@creatureofthesun1991 mcr does have talent there one of the few good rock bands this decade

[xXMorbidApocalypseXx]

They sound similar,not exactly identical.

The members of MCR are big fans of The Smashing Pumpkins,so they wouldn't copy this off them.I'm guessing that they would be flattered by the fact that their music is as wonderful as their idol's.

[mydangerdays]

MCR DID NOT COPY THIS OFF SMASHING PUMPKINS! MCR LOVES SMASHING PUMPKINS, THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL OR HEAVEN THAT GERARD WOULD DO THAT. THEY'RE THEIR IDOL!!!!

[starkingoftheworld]

umm, no offese at ALL dude, but MCR is a big fan of smashing pumpkins, and if it looks like they copied..well the only thing i can say is that HELLO? they freaking love the band I'm not surprised they have a similar sound

[MineGerard4eva]

MCR DID NOT COPY OFF SMASHING PUMPKINS! IF U SOME HOW THINK THIS IS SIMILAR THAN GERARD WOULD BE PROUD THAT THERE SONG SOUNDED LIKE IT!!!! SMASKING PUMPKINS ARE MCR'S IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[pandacity20]

its alike but not stolen likeness though like its not exact

[NinjaBear567]

No the "begging" is not the same.

[skeetyskeeter]

You spelled begining begging

[chemical331]

um alot of bands do that!!!

people like you need to GTFO!

[xxxMekyoxxx]

So you're saying that they both start of with a beginning intro melody before adding louder and more solid sounding chords to get into the major part of the song?

Jesus fuck, millions of bands do that.

[alyoucha97]

wtf? There are millions of songs that start of quiet and suddenly get loud...

[zeeko116]

you are absolutely wrong

[navyman311]

This sounds more like Colplay's Yellow than Smashing Pumpkins Today.

[xmarthasaysrawrx]

As Ray William Johnson Would Say. Your Fake And Gayy.

I Love The Smashing Pumpkins, And My Chemical Romance.

Your Increadibly Stupid. Both Of Them Do Not Sound Alike. Not Even

A Little Bit. But Before You Start Calling People Thiefs Next Time Make Sure

That Your Accusation Is Reasonable. Dumb Butt. That Goes Out To You And The 33 People That Liked This Shet.

[hifatpeople]

MCR doesn't steal antything, period... They actually respect "The Legendary... SMASHING PUMPKINS" -Gerard Way

[princessdilan1]

Your tone deaf darling.

[pipercallum]

The riffs are totally different and I have heard other songs that sound more like The Smashing Pumpkins song Alot of songs have similarities, there are only so many strings on a guitar, and so many notes it can make, think about it.

[tallyhoman911]

this is retarded -_-

[J03yX1]

man

gerard is inspired from so many thing he said himself he take things from songs, not to rip them off, (did you know he is a VERY big fan of smashing pumpkins?)

[asisorfree]

@J03yX1 Did you know the singer from My Chemical romance is Bill corgans son?..

[CoolToobmovie]

@asisorfree Gerard Way is 33. Billy Corgan is 43. He had a child when he was 10? And no one heard of him in the 90's? And their is no documentation of this anywhere?

Whatever you're smoking, I want some.

[asisorfree]

@CoolToobmovie It's called swedish cheeba, it's the stickiest of the ickiest.

[CoolToobmovie]

@asisorfree I'll ask my supplier about it next time.

[975mas]

@asisorfree Lol you're joking right? hahahahahaha

[NinjaBear567]

@asisorfree Did you know he was completely joking when he said that?

[pidigrimerde]

33  my chemical romance fans lol..

[stevie1100]

"Listen to the begging of the songs" FAIL #1

[Pandora4977]

i think all music is derived from other music, thats what makes it inspirational

[replaish]

It's just that they do pretty the same thing with first tabs and then chords, it's not the same rythm, and I look at it as inspiration.

[ursula812]

They're not similar at all...one is about a great day the other is about a heartbreak.

Although I do think Gerard resembles a younger billy corgan in a way. before he went bald.

[RogerShadows]

..It would be stealing if it was the same rhythm newfag.

[guyanaboi122]

i guess its called inspiring

Smashing pumpkins= best band in the world

[RebeMcrGdPh7]

So Stupid argument,like everybody here are comment was an inspiration shit!

[malcolmverdin]

The Smashing Pumpkin's are one of the inspirations of My Chemical Romance! Why would you post this kind of video? These songs aren't even identical.

[homstar]

i cant hear ANY resemblence. you are retarded.

[dennisLhammond]

@homstar I agree gree.

[jelledegitaarman]

@homstar its the same song transposed

[sanagirl656]

omg have u noticed gerard way say in his interveiws that smashing pumkins is the influence and they admire that band cuz smashing pumkins formed before mcr and mcr formed a long time after them in 2001 !!!!!!DUH!!!! thats why they sound alike they got some of there tunes from themm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[checho914]

this is NOTHING...listen to mcrs new song called "Summertime" and then to smashings "1979" those two songs ARE identical.

[TheGraveyardOfdreams]

@checho914 I KNOW RIGHT!!! Spun me the hell out the first time I heard Summertime

[sweetsugarhoney2]

@checho914 Summertime is way closer to The Cure than the Pumpkins, it doesn't sound like 1979.

And the two songs in this video aren't identical at all. People trying to find musical coincidences to prove that a band steals usually end up making a fool of theirselves and this is the case.

[975mas]

@checho914 Yeah but I doubt Gerard wouldn't some-what copy 1979 and make Summertime....Summertime is about when he met his wife in the summer of '07. Not saying he did copy btw.

[xwebkinzx100]

this happens a lot with the cords on songs.

it would be copying if lyrics and cords were very similar.

[ilovemaxgreen100]

hmm they are simlar but not the same

[LucifersRiot666]

I'm not sure if you knew this, but My Chemical Romance got some inspiration from The Smashing Pumpkins. So It's not EXACTLY copying it just sounds kinda alike because they were probably thinking about The Smashing Pumpkins when they made that song/ record.

Just saying.

[SicSolution]

wtf?

[KissKissEmoGirl]

not at all

[dennisLhammond]

Don't forget the fact that pumpkins are an influence and they don't really sound that much a like. so FAIL!

[S29V]

They may like similar, but the "sonority" is different...

[b0dysnatchers4ever]

its not even the same progression.

you have down syndrome.

and a really bad ear.

[Tenpoundcat]

not really

[homeyG75]

They sound nothing alike...god dammit

[ZoePeppers]

They're nothing alike!

[sasupi]

eeemh noo arent the same

[JediandSeeker]

I dont love you was written from somthing terrible happening to the lead singer and his ex-fiance (not lyn-z) so you guys dont need to pick on them just bcuz they sound a lil bit alike , MCRMY

[XpaintXtheXsceneX]

DUDE THATS NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!! imma fan of both but MCR DID NOT STEAL!!! 29 people are COMPLETE LOSERS!!!

[MCRxxPATDxxSY]

even if this vid is fail. The way brothers of MCR have stated that the smashing pumpkins are one of their inspirations.

referring to comment below vvvvv

[Sk8rGirlLikesEmoDude]

I Am A Bit Mcr Fan & Im Not Boasting Or nothing Not Taking sides But, Im pritty Sure Gerard way Has Never Heard of the smashing pumpkins, So it wouldent be seatling PLUS! They sound nothing alike... :\ sorry but that was a fail...

[Paigey518270397]

@Sk8rGirlLikesEmoDude The Smashing Pumpkins are an inspiration to MCR, Gerard and Mikey grew up listening to them and Mikey's first gig was a Smashing Pumpkins gig so yeah, MCR have definently heard of them x)

[kylazak1]

they sound nothing alike.

you suck for even thinking this.

My Chemical Romance are my life and more and i will do anything to defend them.

FUCKKKKKKKKKK YOU!!!!!

[Franlop3z]

@kylazak1 Fuck you, you deaf fuck.

[kylazak1]

@Franlop3z

Don't swear little girl :)

[Franlop3z]

@kylazak1 I hope you understand that i was replying to your early comment.

So yes, fuck you, you deaf fuck.

[MrMychemicalromance1]

first they dont steal....they ask if they coul before and when not it just comes out and stuff but mcr loves them they are best friends band

[VickyVengeance0]

I don't love you actually sounds a lot more like coldplay's yellow and not all to much like the smashing pumpkins today, the only comparison between i don't love you and today is that they both start quiet and then the guitars come in all of a sudden and that's about it whereas when you listen to coldplay's yellow and then listen to i don't love you they sound pretty much exactly the same :3 I'm a huge fan of mcr, I think these resemblances are just coincidences (:

[zocom009]

But IF MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE coPPIED THAT, iTS aWESOME THAN ORIGINAL!

[666RiddleBox]

Common cord structure, and song structure.

But then again one of MCR's inspirations are the Smashing Pumpkins.

[warrush]

First things first, I hate MCR. Secondly, this is obviously not stolen, nor even similar. It has a different chord progression, the riff is different, and the only similarities between the two is that they use a riff as an intro instead of diving into a chord progression, which has only been done a billion times before mcr and SP.

[MusicForLifeXxXx]

seriously, a lot of bands will have a similar beat to another at times, it does't mean they copied the other bands song, sometimes it just happens

[mel1194]

they honestly sound nothing alike...

you can blame them for this, and yet there are like thousands of techno artists who ACTUALLY all sound the same

why don't you make a video for that

today is a legendary rock song... some mcr song could never amount to it

[marissaleahy]

omfg those songs just have the same sound in the beginning note the same notes GOD ur dumb [ilovemcr]

[KiTtYfReAk1234]

Mikey and Gerard love The Smashing Pumpkins, they wouldn't steal from them. Besides, they aren't stealing e-e

[IsDaisySexy]

So, alot of stuff like that happends, they did not copy them!

[FollyxXxFallen]

Lol, nice try.

[danielmaddox01]

i was trying to fuck around with the trolls but you fucked it up anyways ur right plus theres no way in hell mcr would steal anything unlike other artist....

[burdeninmyhands]

No.

[alaneitor2]

it doesnt even sound alike

[danielmaddox01]

they hadsong written then not performed or released

[mtpruis333]

@danielmaddox01 They most certainly did not have this song written before 'today'... its just a similar progression... thats all.

[sorrystateout]

reminds me of coldplay

[NiwdogRolyat]

@sorrystateout yea that song yellow

[GabyloveGee]

they didin't copy they just sound identical the smashing version is super different than MCR's one :)

[danielmaddox01]

my mistake commmon chord progression for all the trolls

[danielmaddox01]

if you knew anything i dont love you was written not realeased but written b4 that song ever came out ike the one guy said common song structure

[nelsonratm]

@danielmaddox01 the pumpkins' song came out in '92

[DMCMaster550]

@nelsonratm I wouldn't say they're identical, similar yes but not identical. Plus the members of MCR are big fans of the Pumpkins so it would be closer to a little homage than complete song steal. To danielmaddox01, you do realize there's no way MCR wrote that song before Today was released considering the band was never formed until 2001 and as he said, Today was released in '92 before the idea of MCR was even a twinkle in Gerard's eye.

[theswan88]

@danielmaddox01 not at all ;)

[975mas]

@danielmaddox01 Wow you fail, that Pumpkin's song came out in '93 dude. Do your research.

[cotpink]

They're really not even that much alike.

What is ACTUALLY similar is What's Going On? by Husker Du and 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins.

[AmyJonas5817]

The Smashing Pumpkins concert was the first concert Gerard way went to! He's a fan of theirs, so their work probably influenced him!!

[gasp7890]

similiar chords but both good songs. its called influence, folks.

[x3MCR477]

oh. hello there person who made this video. i have a question for u, my dear. are u legally retarded? 1.) theyre definitely not identical. theyre maybe SLIGHTLY similar. 2.) ohh yes. mcr was just like "you know what we should do? rip off the smashing pumpkins. ya know, just bcuz. i mean were already totally huge and successful and happy with our music, so clearly we'd want to steal from the pumpkins." 3.) oh wait, you dont get a number three! because you dont deserve it! now go get me a cookie!

[boogerbangeloscar]

I agree with IC20Blue! :) and so what if tey sound the same?!?! They're both Great bands!!! :)

[skaterchik4lyfe]

not identical. similar, yes. but wat duz it matter? so MCR is a great band and so are The Smashing Pumpkins. so,yeah, they've got the same chords but wutevr

[wesere12]

Well their kinda identical....but both of them ROCK's!!!!

But like AstroninjaTV said its a common chord progression, and this happens al the time!D

[samttolainen]

@wesere12 MCR is not rock, its emo shit

[wesere12]

@samttolainen F*ck ya!!!

whatever makes u feel better ...Asshole

[biodv8]

not

[IC20Blue]

They don't sound the same, you can hear the influence of Smashing Pumpkins on MCR. MCR has even stated how Smashing Pumpkins has been a large influence upon their work and career. Also if you have ever played guitar for both songs you'll see how they are similar but not the same.

[camote327327]

I can see a single diference: smashing rules!!! and MCR sucks!!!!!

[oreopie090]

seriously, you have this much time on your hands to try and slam mcr on youtube? go get a girlfriend

[xNikkiGates]

maybe, but who cares? both songs are great.

[kanamesenpaixxx]

it's called inspiration.

gerard has said that mcr is heavily influenced by the smashing pumkins.

sure they're similar, but not identical, at all.

it's like fall out boy's "i don't care" compared to depeche mode's "personal jesus" similar, but not identical.

[hobojackson]

okay, this is WAY off. A more fair comparison would be to play "Yellow" by Coldplay, then the MCR song.

[gerardwaylover1145]

it sounds a little bit a like but i don't love you is way better

[fizzylizzy41094]

Well smashing pumpkins is a big influence on mcr so I wouldn't call it stealing...

[nge2121]

i wouldnt say steal cause its not the exactly the same. Smashing Pumpkins were an influence to MCR so their prolly getting the same sorta feel like Today.

but no not stealing

[petermorales111]

nope i donthere it

[memattman777]

nope!

[ijoinedthemcrmy]

ok they are alot alike but there is a difference. idk. both bands are friends so its cool

[xXxbrokenwings93xXx]

mmm. nope... it's not the same...

[friendsandenemiesofu]

c'mon, stealling the song structure? get life

[ko0lb0ii]

yeah it's not the same

Gerard and Mikey were HUGE fans of smashing pumpkins and gerard was really good friends with billy corgan

also billy is not gerards father, he was kidding when he said that gerard was his son

[Moosocute]

Okay, please get a life and stop bashing MCR. Gerard and Mikey are HUGE Pumpkins fans, ok? And Gerard is actually really good friends with Billy Corgan, so why would they be friends if Billy thought he was stealing from him? Besides, the songs have COMPLETELY different meanings, and the tabs for Today is lower than I Don't Love You, so please stop trying to act smart, because you're not.

[keshar16]

they didnt steal, and anyways, smashing pumpkins singer is My chemical romance singers father. Its ok. and it soesnt even sound the same.

[TheEikarocker98]

MCR FORVER ! they didn't stole !

[TheEikarocker98]

so what ?

[meganwarga]

if you watched life on the murder scene, you would know that smashing pumpkins was like, MCR's biggest idols, it was mikey and gerards first concert at madison square garden. :) i'm sort of an expert.

[eatrocksah]

yea its pretty much a ripoff......stylistically.....­.....plus MCR suck tranny balls

[XxChLoE4mcrxX]

-.-... wow... they sound similar.. omg they stole from them.. no.. get a life... i have heard loads of songs that sound alike...haha...lol

x

[SillyGreenOreos]

Dude freaking learn how to spell you moron. They sound kinda similar but no one stole from either band. God get a life.

[Stealth8973]

Of course They're the same fucking GUY!!!!! omg!!!!

FTW

[MCRchick911]

Thatz not the same guy!!! Gerard Way sings in My Chem. Romance not the smashing pumkins or ever the f*** they are. They look like creeps that hang out on the street.

[Stealth8973]

I know there not the same guy. lol I was just messing around lol totally agree.

[Stealth8973]

what? a lot of songs star out slow then go full out.

plus they MCR didnt have the little dada da in between the other stuff I know i make no fucking sense. but who cares it the internet FTW!!!!!

[hipnotized28]

1) lots of songs do start like that 2) mcr were inspried by them (they said in many videos) mcr ftw!

[7gerardwaysbaby7]

OMG im sorry i pushed the thumbs down!!!!! omg that wuz completely an accident! im so sorryz....i hate when that happens. i always end up pushing the wrong thumb.

[TheMetallicafan7]

did u allso know that gerards dad is billy corgan

[antvillain]

not stolen and nowhere near as good as the pumpkins. same key

[XxMCRxFANxANNAxX]

its not stealing! its inspiration! :)

[TheMybestcovers]

that´s stupid... those songs have the same air, the same climax, but nobody copied to each other

a lot of songs starts like that

[BGskits]

Billy and Gerard inspire eachother.

[TheChemicalgirl2000]

wtf?

i really don't think mcr stole from smashing pumpkins but whatever

and i don't love you is better than today, don't you think?

<3MCR(and what i said earlier..i didn't said it like a fan of mcr...maybe the thing that these songs are starting slow and then is faster is the only thing in common)

[ryneldo]

There Both Amazing Bands

Gerard Has Says His Videos Are Influenced By The Pumpkins

But I Dont It WasA Steal

[9Gee9]

I love my chem, and if u ask me, a lot of songs starts like that "/

[AstroninjaTV]

It's not stolen, just a really common chord progression is all.

[hellchild65]

these are not the same, but MCR still sucks

[TheAntisilence]

As the saying goes, "Musicians are thieves that don't get caught." Well, except on Youtube. :)

[mrshall4]

They're a little similar but i don't think MCR stole from them, lots of songs start out that way.

Personally, i LOVE MyChem. They're my favourite band.

But smashing pumpkins is cool too :)

[TheMRious]

the only thing MCR stole from them is the Corgan´s face! hahahaha. One thing makes me admire MCR is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked them for his favorite band actually and their singer didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He noticed an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future" and saying what´s funny, the singer from this band has his same face! ha ha

[Kompleksiti]

these two songs may sound simaler but they're very different.

look at how many songs there are. two of them are gonna sound simaler.

[beefcake183]

considering there both punk bands

and have the same type of notes i can see why people think this.

but i wouldn't say they "copied"

[zer0cooL7]

i wouldnt exactly say smashing pumking or mcr are punk bands

[mrsjoannaway]

Ok i LOVE both bands and these songs don't sound alike... maby the guitar was on the same setting but thay arn't alike at all

[livinginagraveyard]

MCR fangirls,please shut up!Now im a fan myself of MCR but please with your "OMFG!!No they did NOT" cause really..no one really cares

[WafflesAreYAY]

These songs aren't the same?

[InstantViolet]

I Love MCR,

But smashing pumpkins are pretty badass too.

[savannah742]

mikey and gerard love the smashing pumpkins so they porbaly where inspired by them, but they would never steal, and the songs dont even sound that much alike

[fantabbidosis]

fucking hell does it really matter

[ALadyOfSorrow]

They have the same climax, but the riffs are completely different, but I do see were you are coming from. They are different though

[frikeygee17]

they do sound similar and i say this only because i am not going to hide behind a lie i could figure ou twhat song you were gonna say by mcr but they didnt steal it they are heavily influenced by the pumpkins but they are diffrent

[myxluliby]

the songs couldn't be more different.

[rubyredshoe]

I def. agree that mcr are heavily influenced by the pumpkins both musically and style wise (billy corgan`s make up in adore?)

Mcr take alot of rifts though, has anyone ever compared vampires will never hurt you to the buffy the vampire slayer theme?

[didyoustealmytwinkie]

They sound the least bit alike. And they all like smashing pumpkins, so someone could of got an inspiration

[facelessexpression]

The Pumpkins own.

Mcr are whiny bitches.

case closed.

[epicenur]

I don't love you- same two beats

Smashing pumpkins- 6 beats

Whiny? -.-

[facelessexpression]

Yeah, whiny.

Im talking about the vocals not the music.

[epicenur]

Well, I like them, we all have different opinions.

[fantabbidosis]

omfg... mcr r NT whiny bitchs.. and case nt closed
