What is wrong with you lot? Purposely watching a video you seemingly don't like JUST to criticize it, that's pathetic. If you like it, appreciate it, if you don't, what the hell are you still doing here?
It's possible that they ripped it off, but we're talking about a song that very few people have heard of. Songs like Coldplay's Viva La Vida and Fergie's Fergalicious (I feel less clean for typing that) are giant ripoffs, and nobody seems to care. This doesn't justify what may or may not have been done, but if you're going to talk about travesties in the music industry, clean up those two songs and work your way down.
its so similar if you play them together, the BPM is just barely different, its quite definitely an obvious rip off. Even the drums are pretty close, and they steal melodies from the mogwai tune as well.
I think they probably just ripped it off, I doubt Mogwai (or too many people outside of Canada) listen to Pilate (or Pilotspeed as they're now known. So lame.) Maybe unwittingly, but whenever I'm trying to write music, I can usually tell if I'm ripping someone off. And I'm sure the guys in Pilate listen to Mogwai, because everyone should.
really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!

Yeah, and Radiohead, Mogwai and Coldplay haven't bitten off of anyone, right? ESPECIALLY Coldplay! What an excellent example of pure originality. They practically invented music... and a minor chord.
You know, it's not about making hits, it's not about everyone appreciating every song you write, it's about having something to say and saying it well, at least once.
I don't like most of your songs but I like this one and of course I like you big hit "alright". I can tell you see the world in a different way and I'm glad you could show that to me.
@jontosh There's some similarity in the opening melody, but they take it in different directions, especially since Mogwai's is over double the length.
very sweet stuff

The opening guitar riff i bet is where Our Lady Peace got the idea for Angels are Losing sleep.

complete copy of mogwai's "2 rights make 1 wrong"... it's embarassing!

jontosh has a point! Although I'd have made said point in a less ignorant format.
I wonder if Pilot Speed approached Mogwai RE this tune, or whether there's been some major musical mischief going on? O.o

yeah it is fairly similar but i prefer this because it has vocals :) (i like mogwai as well but it can get boring without singing after a while)
