Springsteen steals from Kiss?

[wmkennard]

bruce wouldnt waste his time are yal for real, bruce grew up in the streets of NY, he was hanging out with the under ground musicians, and kiss are you kidding me man, dont you think he would steal from zappa , bruce was writing and digging horn sections when kiss was playn cheap jap guitars at there mommas house

[wmkennard]

you are a idiot a kid, truck stop funny im sure your wearing your gene simmons high heels, alls a itelligent kiss fan would really say is well bruce does 4 hour shows and kiss does some great stuff on stage, but all in all the fact is brucce would blow kiss off stage ,so as a real rock n roller, growing up with zepplin, as a 14 year old we liked kiss as a musician and all real musicians who do you think they would like better, and it aint kiss, so if you want to dog out folks over a band com on

[wmkennard]

i look at you and you call me a goat f-. get real its funny you talk about my spelling because i was rocking when i was 15, you knock dylan, but the hard fact locker room lips,is thru the 60;s-70;s80;s-90;s 2000-till now,ive seen zep,allman brothers, BB king,an so many others kiss came in my in at 103, bruce at 1- then the stones and zep, thats so funny i like gene simmons but if he has a idiot like you as a fan ,grow up ive played with smokin joe kubeck an some good players, bruce smokes kiss

[wmkennard]

yea listen to this guy dogging dylan, jimi hendrix loved dylan like a bro, the beatles loved dylan, oh i wonder if gene is still sitting down tryn to learn gary talents bass lines from kittys bac in town, funny i saw kiss twice, bruce 3 times i could care less how many 16 year olds bought kiss records, but bruce an the e street band would smoke kiss off the stage by a mile,bruce was writing songs while gene simmons was figuring how to tune his bass, u hav no musical knowledge at all

[AntoP049]

he ripped it off kiss, totally! springsteen sucks ass, kiss rules! :D \m/

[impellernut]

springsteen sucks ass and kiss is much better the ever thought he could be. he cant sing for shit and his songs all sound the same

[drummerdude6061]

bruce didnt rip off of kiss, and i was made for loving you is an awesome song

[JJSHIZZ]

the question isn't - "who's better, kiss or bruce?" .. no, the question is "did bruce rip off kiss," and the answer is NO..

[buckeyesrule10]

There is no possible way Springsteen stole from Kiss. Springsteen is a music God and would never steal from anyone. When he writes something he has an idea or ideas of how the song will go right away. Outlaw Pete is a kick ass song and I highly doubt Spingsteen would even consider thinking about copying a Kiss song. Kiss doesn't touch the E Street Band...

[freddiearsenal]

springsteen = kiss, as beatles= britney spears ?!?

poor us...

kiss are for me n°1 in the world, and it's no so impossible springsteen ripped off them...

[KISSFAN1970]

All you idiots that suck Bruce Springsteen's dick and put down KISS probably aren't aware that Bruce used to be fan of KISS. And this song does sound a bit like "I was made or loving you". Get over it.

[wmkennard]

@KISSFAN1970 , yea while gene simmons is still tryn to figure out gary talents bass lines, its funny as i went to 2 kiss shows in the 70;s and 3 bruce an the e street bands, i can only say bruce and the boys smoke kiss of the map while ur suckn simmons tongue, wonder why they need mask because they didnt hav enough confidence in there 16 yr old fans

[KISSFAN1970]

@wmkennard Learn how to write a proper sentence & try making sense the next time you try to criticize somebody shovel head. BTW his last name is Tallent,not Talent dumbo.Which is something you lack & his bass lines aren't that complex. Bruce & the boys smoked KISS off the map?? Give me a break. Nobody puts on a show like KISS. The only thing that blows is you at the local truck stop. Your last sentence made alot of sense too goat fucker. Go back to school & try to up your IQ a little bit.

[Zepoch1]

Blondie's call me actually sounds a lot like that kiss song

[snnygirl300]

Hell No Bruce didn't rip off Kiss AKA The Has Ben-ZZZZZsss...LOL...LOL..Bruc­e ripping off Kiss this is just to damn funny..Gene Simmons need to just go back to tv w/his "make believe" happy family..that show is sooo freakin' full of shit. I bet Bruce would NEVER do no shit like that..He & Patty have to much class...Now suck on that !!!!

[guitarmaster2477]

Springsteen is sooo original that  his pic is next to the word...

[BTMS22]

Yep rip

[KISSfan888]

Yes, Bruce did rip off KISS.

[ejmagee]

yes, bruce stole melody!

guilty!

[stratman123]

This guy talks too fast. It gets annoying. It's not really impressive. He should watch and listen to some pros. No successful spokespeople speak like this. You do hear a lot of people on youtube do it though. I guess they think it sounds impressive. Slow down, and cut some of the fat-you'll be a lot better.

[DethMaidenPriestACDC]

@stratman123 O SHUT UP! He wasn't trying to impress you.

[stratman123]

You've GOT to be his mother!

[DethMaidenPriestACDC]

Dammit how'd you guess. haha

[stratman123]

Your name gave you away!

[PaulKISSStanley]

KISS IS BEST!!!

[1016111]

well i like them both but im a huge kiss fan. and if u want to get technical then ya springteen took the melody and used it. BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!! everyone does it. so wat. everyband uses stuff from other bands. but if he didnt ask thats a diff story. but w.e their both great. springsteen did take the part wen kiss sings do do do dodo dodo do do. that part. SO!!!!!!!!.

[metallica6191]

kiss sucks dick, they really do. just because the song sounds similar doesnt mean he stole, plus outlaw pete is better than i was mad for loving you

[esmgastros]

no spingsteen rules

[ohyeahuhhuh77]

kiss is way better better show better music better everything. bruce was stoopid stealing from KIss hes the boss well there GODS

[bamafan36301]

Springsteen blows PERIOD!

[BossTown77]

Kiss Blows. The Boss is x10 better. Just because it kind of sounds similar doesnt mean he stole it.. people are idiots

[jvflexx]

YEAH RIGHT!  KISS RULES!

[1Anettka6]

Bruce is absolutely better than KISS !! He's The BOSS

[bobcranehomevids]

wicked ! great host.

[gameranger10]

No he is not... end of story.

[meatcannon]

RIP

[LeonardCohenRocks]

...bur the springsteen tune is better.

;-)

[Yay3IHavePants]

Bruce didn't rip off anything. All rock n roll borrows from itself. And all rock n roll borrows from the 20s. Everything repeats.

So the meoldies are both raising note patterns. SO WHAT. You think KISS came up with that pattern of notes? HELL NO.

[buddyboy55]

Bruce SO DID rip off KISS on "Outlaw Pete!" It's just a slower version of "I was made for loving you." Listen to the full versions!

[gameranger10]

ridiculous.. they sound compeltely different.

[maumakkia]

It's ridicolous...!

[riptorn311]

I seem to remember that I was made for lovin you was their biggest hit internationally...Kiss was rockin the 80's while ole bruce was crooning about some damn small town, and being born in the usa...He needs to get the piece of shit thats stuck in his throat unlodged so he can sing clearly...The only person than can sing with gravel is Layne....Dylan cant sing for shit and Hetfield went lame when the shitty black album hit back in 94'

[guerrillaradiodotcom]

Believe it or not, most songwriters know that these things can happen without theft. This is especially true when you're dealing with an intentionally simple and sugary pop song. Unfortunately this fact will be taken advantage of by unscrupulous people who will hide behind that defense. I am surprised that Satriani would pursue the Coldplay thing. It's such an obvious melody. While we're at, why not throw in the "suspicious" similarity to Eleanor Rigby throughout PETE.

[Spaded19]

Nice blog man, I digg it!

[sexygeek101]

Bruce Springsteen ripping off Kiss would be like the beatles ripping off Britney Spears. they sounds similar, but i mean, how hard is it to go up the 5 note scale chart?

[deuce1231]

Sounds like plagarism to me. This guy needs to play some of the strings section from Outlaw Pete and THAT'S where the melody is really similar enough to be plaragism. My Sweet Lord, indeed...

[bighurt35dh]

bruce is NOT ripping off Kiss

[VivaLaWhoCares]

Kiss and the rest of the glam metal bands suck some major ass No Ripoff

[Clnt874]

kiss rocks but i mean they cant write songs like the boss i mean shut the fuck up

[hsteinway]

springsteen has been selling out for a few years now. he's out of material. he's a loser. it is a TOTAL rip-off. Just cuz its not identical doesnt mean he didnt steal it. SPRINGSTEEN YOU SUCK

[QueenIsAGreatBand]

Totally NOT a rip-off.

[gnrfreak619]

i love how you take that segment so seriously after lol, i would be cracking up after dressin up and doin that whole thing lol

[ChuckMckagan]

no,springsteen is not ripping off kiss. it's that simple

[AxlSlashnDuff]

Cold cold? Its fuckin' snowing in Britan. Kiss sounds nothing like Springsteen. And in "This Day In Rock History" you forgot the birth of Duff Mckagan

[ChuckMckagan]

yerrrrr. duff rules :)

[zclaudiu93]

no rippoff.

[jackmcc91]

no way bruce ripped off kiss. he has been writing for far too long. i dont believe he just dried up and had to leach someone elses song. outlaw pete is far better anyway. its lyrics are amazing

[elementdude77]

[PlayingGuitarRules]
