The Kinks Picture Book

[mandyorton04]

haha clearly warning sounds better :))

[WhoIsPine]

@mandyorton04 stfu

[95FDV]

@mandyorton04 .. agreed

[dizon96]

people who get mad at bands for "ripping" off older bands just don't know how hard it really is to compose your own music without sounding similar to the hundreds of other bands before you.

[guitarbassdrumsetc]

@dizon96 bullllllllshit

[WhoIsPine]

@dizon96 seriously, sounding similar has nothing to do with making slight variations to a song and call it something else. come on.

[CoothaDrifter]

Warning... live without warning...

[TheGonzalo711]

its not stealing , is have a new ideas, the song is equal no ! then shut the fuck up and enjoy both music ! Green Day Rocks !

[LetumFilms]

Green Day's Warning is way better :P

[ManilaSyndicate]

Outstanding song. There's nothing else that needs to be said.

[pucksterz12]

Warning - Green Day

[Jaivk]

@pucksterz12 Yes, it does sound alike, uses the same type of riff :)

[95FDV]

@Jaivk .. the riff sounds alike, it's not exactly the same

[mooghead]

The band the Beatles wish they could have been...... bring it on!!!!!!

[jdenicholls]

@mooghead I'm sure Sir Paul isn't too unhappy with his lack of success.

[minifiskar]

Even though Green Day is my favorite band, I'm really disappointed in them for stealing this riff.

[Bazzaroo80]

@minifiskar they didnt steal it? lots of artists use other riffs, you dick

[almanacofsleep]

@Bazzaroo80 i.e. stealing

[Bazzaroo80]

@almanacofsleep not stealing? they probably had permission

[zachlikesbmth]

@SteveOwen01 Wow I really can't believe what I just read. Billie Joe Armstrong isn't and never will be a musical legend, Green Day hasn't written a decent song since the 90's. They sold out and erased any memory of any good music they might have made.

[bastianoski10]

@zachlikesbmth green day didnt sold out, the grew up as persons and as a band, green day songs in the 90s were about masturbation and getting high with drugs, now they talk more in a political way, and well, its truth that their songs in the 90s were perfect, theri songs now are really good, billie joe can be a musical legend and green day HAS written a lot of decent songs since the 90s

[qwer8907]

green day ripped this off

[1992VoodooChild]

@qwer8907 WE KNOW  - nearly every other comment has said so.

[spooooooooons]

@qwer8907 One small bass riff and the whole song is ripped off. Idiot. There's only so many chord/note progressions in the world. There is only so many that sound song worthy when put together. I bet these guys heard it from somewhere, and whoever they heard it off probably heard it from an old folk song or something. Get a grip you tit.

[lyonslaforet]

@qwer8907 On which of their songs?

[Zackapo]

@lyonslaforet Warning, clearly

[shelloz09]

@qwer8907 lol no.

[NICKY752]

I LOVE THE  KINKS !!!!!!!!!!

[Daxter305]

@pandadark10 that makes no sense

[SouthCarolinaPicker]

.. Gotta Love The KinKs

[3tangle3]

@angelofbebop the kinks were banned from US...read about it..........there was no kinks invasion :(

[Refrescospepito]

If one song was recorded in mono, should be reproduced in mono.

Amen.

[JacenEnda]

this is a public service announcement, this is only a test?

[MetallEuca]

WARNING!

[lgerardorg]

First time i heard this was on an HP commercial

[LincolnFB]

WARNING, any similarity is mere copyright infringement. hahaha!

[aaa984]

Well....Green day just perfect it.

[MrWhat777]

I'm Fan of GREEN DAY but i have to say that this song is better than warning

[KimsCS124]

@MrWhat777 ehm no? WHATE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU AND YOUR TASTE FOR MUSIC?!

[d2777d]

@KimsCS124 Some people have to buy all that shit! What can you do...

[JackBurrows231]

@KimsCS124 Green day is for the benders of this generation. 

[kitttykat248]

ascoobydoobydoo :)

[TommyW222]

omg listen to green day - warning, it sonds exactly the same!

[karlthorne92]

Why Rip on green day people do this all the time its no big deal

[bloodnokian]

Great Green Day track this!! Oh wait...silly me it's 1967! ;)

[kmoyeykmo]

misteryguitarman sent me here. Thumbs up if you too

[rowzenator]

The Philip Larkins of rock...they really jazz you up...

[nozscrap]

some The Kinks's songs sharpen me nostargia. 

[soma1216]

plagiarism riffs

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby

Green Day - Warning

steriogram-walkie talkie man

[greenorange75]

@soma1216 Big and Rich- Love Train

[rockandrollarcangel]

scubidubidu

[GothGaara92]

Green Day's warning sounds a little like this-but not 100%

both great songs

[Fredstotty]

this isnt the only Kinks song Greenday stole by the way , they allso stole alot of bEatles riff's

[jamreaper]

@Fredstotty with riffs - sometimes it can be accidental - dont get me wrong i done think green day have any talent what so ever - but still

[thejenyus]

Green Day wasnt stealing they were just sampling the Kinks' song. 

[TheGreenDayLoverNo1]

I'm a REALLY big fan of Green Day.. And Picture book dosn't sound like Warning.. Warning sounds like picture book.. And Bj is a fan of The Kinks, and i think from he's younger days could remember this song and then he right Warning..

[greenday2themax]

as much as i hate, HATE HATE HATE HATE, to admit it.....green day's warning is EXACTLY like it.....

maybe they didnt even know...maybe it was an honest mistake.....maybe they didn't know the song...green day just didn't know

[FlorentiusVI]

@greenday2themax

Billy joe might been just fan of the kinks (thats hat my sister says) btw whats the point, they sound both good!

[greenday2themax]

@FlorentiusVI yeah, Billie Joe probably was a fan. yeah green day rock!!

[kinksboss1]

@greenday2themax

come on, they covered Tired of Waiting on their Shenanigans record

[Voutshy]

too short !

[hazimondo]

lol so if sum1 already use a c chord in their song that means other can't use it anymore?

its just the same with this riff

[kidsam]

Whenever I watch a slide show of pictures on my laptop, I put this song on ha!

[AnatomicalReject]

lol even youtube thinks green day ripped off this, its one of the related vids xD

[RayNDeere]

Do we need any more proof that Ray Davies is the true Poet Laureate of England?

[harrygirl97]

this is good, but Green Day didnt really rip it off- ive listened to Warning a heck of alot because Green Day is my all time favourite band... and that was my favourite song at one point- they havent taken much, but hey- look how many tunes are there in the world.. think about it- btw; love this song:D

[AndrewVlogShow]

i like how mysteryguitarman filled the vocals in with harmonicas. very fitting.

[jamreaper]

@AndrewVlogShow personally i prefer the vocals

[robertofly3000]

green day version is better =P

[TheIdiotDisease]

@robertofly3000 Green Day's Warning wasn't a "version", it was a crudely ripped off shit song.

[cartaslade]

classic!

[jamreaper]

great song- great band - great youtube :D

[volcolartist]

Green day ripped this off big time with "warning"

[Junkpunker21]

@volcolartist

Only half of the bassline though. Only half. Though it really makes up the Picture Book song, at least they're not the first band to rip off anything.

[volcolartist]

@Junkpunker21 Not the first band to rip it off but, by heck it's a obvious

[SikyGdMetallica]

@volcolartist

noo they don´t

I hate the ignorants as you

they use the same tune with permission its like a cover daah

[volcolartist]

@SikyGdMetallica Yes they did, it's a blatent rip off, permission or not. Anyone who ends a sentance with 'daah' isn't worth my time.

[SikyGdMetallica]

@volcolartist

then why you replied daa xD

[allaboard70]

This is a great Kinks song. Not very often played, but one the the very best songs with the band. Rock on!
