@HogNoseFilms Actually, this song came out in 1968 (see above) and Warning came out in 2000... So I think that Green Day got it from this song. :D I'm a huge fan of Green Day but you have to admit that Warning is almost the same as this. :)
my ex mess up leaving a great guy like me :( we been together for 2 months and she end up talking about sex. i told her it too soon i wanna wait longer or better too wait till marry and she tell me how can we be together with out sex. so she broke up with me. since she broke up with me i knew right then she promble just wanna me for sex. cause sex is really not the meaning of love. i want someone who love me for who i am. and how great there personally is. it hard too find the right girl :(
My son will definitely need a picturebook with pictures of his mama taken by his papa a long time ago ( to prove they loved each other a long time ago!)
Okay all, I get it!!! Warning sounds like this. But the Kinks Victoria sounds like Canned Heat's Going up the Country, the Doors Hello I love you sounds like the Kinks All day and All of the Night, and everything Oasis ever did sounds like the Beatles. I'm not a musician, but I assume they (musicians) are influenced by what came before them and they enjoyed listening to themselves. What a concept.
I don't care that Warning sounds like this, I still LOVE Green Day. There are only so many chords to work with so of course some songs are going to sound similar.
...the green day riff in warning is still completely different... like it rises then it decends... this one just rises. Green Day has proven they cant write their own stuff so I doubt if this was an intentional rip. I do agree is sounds similar.
Enough! Green day used the guitar riff! big deal- soooo many people steal them! it's no big deal! it happens! most of the comments are about Green day, this is a kinks song and if you don't like green day- too freakin' bad- maybe other people do. why not talk about THE SONG.
@Irishpunked Seriously, at least GD had the sense to borrow from an amazing band but the Kinks deserve their own attention for the amazing shit they did, which may be lost on GD fans but I am sure not on the band itself.
@Killerpiratekev wooow cuz they have fame and signed with a huge company doesnt mean they "sold out",and who gives a fuck if they wear make up,dude MCR which sucks now wore make up
@VFloresTalent MCR?!?! my chemical romance can suck it they always sucked. greenday was good until they got older. some bands just wanna be hip and they end up looking like assholes that only appeal to children under 16
@Rattshewantsmoney this song is shit. your gay for commenting on a comment posted 7 months ago. BTW green day is 1000 times better than this piece of shit...
@cmartinez011 Both you and your boyfriend are retarded. Look how old my first comment was. No troll no retarted shit. it was a fucking reference, he is the jackass for trolling on green day and your a little bitch for supporting him. Be smart and STFU when no one is speaking to you.... BTW this song is shit
@hugebudd I don't know what you said before and quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. I only commented on the comment you made 6 days ago. I could care less about the other guy. And fortunately, this is America, I can talk to who ever I want when I want, so you lose on that one.
@cmartinez011 Your still a gay little attention whore... look this is you "OMG these guys are fighting. im gona join the Douche and call the other guy retarted" for starters Your mom should be embarrassed to have a little girl such as your self. and second no one cares who you are... and just because this is america doesn't mean you have to go around trolling, its a waste of my time. Its sort of like how your parents wasted their time raising suck a retard.
My biggest problem though with Green Day is how many riffs they ripped off from underground bands that can't or will not defend themselves. Minor Threat, Fugazi, Descendents, and many many more. I do like Green day though, there really tight and have a good influences. I just wish more people would check out the unsung bands that in many instances he he ripped off.
@GreenDayDookieDemos Changing one note from up to down doesnt make it a new song. So if i took Tightwad Hill changed two notes, the lyrics and renamed it without giving them a crdit or royalties its ok. Ray Davies should sue them. It didnt work out for Vanilla Ice when he tried say the same thing about taking one beat out of under pressure. They should pay royalties and give song writing credit on the album.
First off, great song Ive loved the Kinks since I was too young to remember. Second when I first heard Warning by Green Day it really pissed me off how much of a rip-off it was of picture book. It was around that time I began re-examining Green day and came to realize allmost all of there songs are complete rip-offs. Check it out sometime, allmost all there songs are rippoffs of the kinks, buzzcocks, even a Chicago rip-off.
I'm guessing green day wrote warning around the same time they covered Tired of Waiting for You off their shenanigans album. They must have been on a kinks kick that week. No biggie, you're influenced by what you're listening to at the time.
It's a crap 3 chord pop punk song (which is already a shitty contradiction) with a just enough of a stolen riff that they don't have to credit Ray Davies for writing the fucking song for them. Lame as lame can be. Like DaveS12382 said, it's ridiculous to even imply that these two bands are in the same ballpark. They couldn't even be said to be playing the same game.
In 50 years people will still talk about the Kinks. Green Day just blows.
@Slimer049 i like both green day and the kinks its like saying beiber sucks and the kinks are great and better but the beiber fans think of it the other way its a opinion
@Slimer049 Really? No. People will talk about, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Metallica, R.E.M. Aerosmith and other bands that were as influensive as those. The Kinks aren't bad, they're good. But they haven't been as influencive. And Green Day is one of the most influencive Punk bands. Especially after making their comeback 6 years ago. And I wish that Green Day could be here right now. They'd probably beat the crap out of you XD
@GreenDayGuitarCover1 The Kinks are extremely influential to bands like the Talking Heads, R.E.M, Pearl Jam etc. Green Day is hardly influential. Dookie was really the only thing they contributed to music (which really is negligible) while The Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, and Something Else are all viewed as masterpieces in rock music. To say that Green Day is more important than The Kinks is like saying Big Mommas House is better than Citizen Kane. Ignorant dumbass.
@xxKiernan94xx Green Day are the ones who made Pop Punk Mainstream, bands like Blink-182, New Found Glory, Sum 41, AFI and My Chemical Romance have stated that Green Day's music influenced them and they all have said they learned so much from Green Day. Green Day might not have created the music they play, but neither did The Rolling Stones, The Doors or ACDC. I do agree with you in saying The Kinks were more influential, but it's not like Green Day never influenced anyone.
@jtessexpress There is alot of truth in your statement saying that they made pop-punk mainstream, but looke who Green Day influenced: AFI, Blink 182 etc. They were more or less just pop bands that probably will be looked over and thrown to the side in a few years.Not to say that those bands are bad, but merely unimportant. Early Green Day is wonderful though. They are the new Buzzcocks. They sound very similar to Green Day and are the true originators of pop-punk.
@xxKiernan94xx maybe the bands Green Day influenced will be forgotten about, (I doubt Blink will be forgotten about) but one thing for certain is that Green Day won't be forgotten . Who you influence doesn't matter, it's the bands own impact on the world that matters and Green Day has had a huge impact on the world so far, and they aren't about to stop. You thinking that only old Green Day is good is none other than your opinion, and I guess I have to respect it.
@jtessexpress Yes it is my opinion; I didn't mean to come off brash. I just think that newer Green Day lacks a lot of things the Dookie accomplished. I like much of Green Day's material and respect the hell out of them, but I think The Kinks were largely over looked for the brilliance they had. I didn't mean to offend or alienate anyone. Two very different bands and shouldn't really be compared. But, in influence, I truly believe the Kinks are more important. This is merely my opinion. Respect
mm greenday? havent thought of them sincee 94' with "dookie " ladies and gentlmen. and ray davies, what a realm insult here to be mentionedin the same breath as some flaming dogshit.
@beaneroopie green day is awesome man warning isnt shitty it basicly has the same little tune just different vocals. to tell you the truth i havent ever heard of this band till now.
While I am a fan of both bands, The Beatles could never write lyrics as original, witty, and intelligible as Ray Davies. And when the Beatles were still politely singing about "holding hands", the Kinks were rounding third and heading for home plate over menacing music on "You Really Got Me."
It's funny how people are whining about Green Day ripping off this song. Warning came out TEN years ago. Stop dragging up a worn out argument and let it be. Let people listen to what they want. If it's Green Day, fine. If it's The Kinks, fine. If it's *gasp* BOTH bands, fine. If it's neither, fine. It's useless fighting over something that can't be changed. Discussion is fine, getting so angry is a waste of energy. Music should bring people together, not rip them apart
@blackbirdfly2010 I've known for a long time that Green Day ripped this off. It doesn't bother me though. I see it as an ode. It was just a riff anyway. How many people used Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly's riffing over the years? It's a compliment!
i emailed Ray Davies one time from his website. He responded to my compliments.I told him he is so talented ,innovative and so under-rated. he responded to email an thanked me. this guy is down-to-earth and cool.
@iamawitness23 that's because green day completely stole the riff. You think they could be more creative considering that was the title song of the album.
to all of the people saying warning is better or this is better or they could have been more original there are at least 4 other songs that use the same riff. and there all good, like picasso said "good artists copy, great artists steal"
Oh well I have to say I am a huge Green Day fan, and I have to admit, Warning sounds A LOT like this... but come on, Green Day are fans of the Kinks, so maybe they did it as a hommage to the Kinks?
And it's hard to write a song when another one is stuck in your head or something... believe me I write songs that actually are other songs all the time
so don't hate Green Day for sorta ripping this off... the Kinks are good but so are Green Day okay?
im not mad on green day and its really annoying when bands copy great artists like the kinks. but i sort of understand you in a way because i love oasis, and they copied 1 or 2 other great bands guitar riffs in their album definately maybe. for example they use t-rex's famous get it on riff in ciggerettes and alcohol

Green Day didn't really rip this song off...I mean, it's in the same key and the beat is similar, but they are two totally different songs.

@jtessexpress Agreed, and also, the last note goes up, not down.

@Damento12 They could have. But like most "Rip offs" the band didn't know that a song of theirs sounded a lot like an already existing song.
But who cares. Warning is amazing. Picture Book is amazing. Why are they both amazing? Because of that riff! :D

I love this song :).
It's funny how people are whining about Green Day ripping off this song. Warning came out TEN years ago. Stop dragging up a worn out argument and let it be. Let people listen to what they want. If it's Green Day, fine. If it's The Kinks, fine. If it's *gasp* BOTH bands, fine. If it's neither, fine. It's useless fighting over something that can't be changed. Discussion is fine, getting so angry is a waste of energy. Music should bring people together, not rip them apart

@blackbirdfly2010 I've known for a long time that Green Day ripped this off. It doesn't bother me though. I see it as an ode. It was just a riff anyway. How many people used Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly's riffing over the years? It's a compliment!
Mohammets 1 year ago
@Mohammets yea I listened to both and laughed that is was a rip... i love Green Day still, and I agree with you 100% on what you said!

To all the people who think Green Day ripped this off; Green Day is too much of a self respecting band to rip off another band. Please.

to all of the people saying warning is better or this is better or they could have been more original there are at least 4 other songs that use the same riff. and there all good, like picasso said "good artists copy, great artists steal"

Oh well I have to say I am a huge Green Day fan, and I have to admit, Warning sounds A LOT like this... but come on, Green Day are fans of the Kinks, so maybe they did it as a hommage to the Kinks?
And it's hard to write a song when another one is stuck in your head or something... believe me I write songs that actually are other songs all the time
so don't hate Green Day for sorta ripping this off... the Kinks are good but so are Green Day okay?

im not mad on green day and its really annoying when bands copy great artists like the kinks. but i sort of understand you in a way because i love oasis, and they copied 1 or 2 other great bands guitar riffs in their album definately maybe. for example they use t-rex's famous get it on riff in ciggerettes and alcohol
