It's not like its the first time this has happened. Come together by the beatles . Lennon considered it a tribute to Chuck Berry. How many folk and blues songs have been covered or remade with no credit to the originals. who cares. music is like any art and has it's influences. many artists start off drawing or painting their own take on already existing art. evolution wouldn't exist if it started from scratch every time
One of my teachers bashed Nirvana for "stealing" Killing Joke's riff. I came back and said Killing Joke "stole" it from this song, then played this song for him. He shut up after that.
@iangarnettify Whoever created the music owns it, it's their intellectual property. You're making it seem like no artist has ever created an original riff or melody ever, which is not true, if it was cases of plagiarism would pop up constantly, which they don't. Check out bands like The Residents, SPK, Idiot Flesh and try and tell me that they manifested their ideas from somewhere other then their own imagination.
No one comes up with anything. Everything is copied. Whether it be taken from an influencing song, or something someone saw, ideas do not come on their own. All songs pretty much come from other songs. Don't get pissed off because this time it's a bit more obvious. Good artists copy, great artists steal.
@iangarnettify I completely disagree and i think that is a terrible and lazy attitude. If you´re being influenced by someones sound or style its fine, but if you plagiarize someones riff you´re a hack. How about this, mediocre artists steal, great artists innovate and create?
@PullingTeeth1 You can't plagiarize. No one owns music. No artists create something completely new. They just manifest other ideas in new creations. Did Nirvana steal the song? No. Did they take a similar riff and make a new song from it? Exactly. Same thing.
@iangarnettify If we take single note to copyright thing then noone will be able to create on their own. Some guys didn't realised this paradox. Life goes on and who cares what fools say? Music is about 'art', not money nor copywrights or smilarity.
Also where is difference between getting influenced by someones style and making smilar sounding intro? It is same thing for me. Someone just getting influenced by (copies) style to 'steal' fame of great artists that are on wave now?
To put the whole riff thing to rest it was invented by the beatles like all other music was invented by the beatles full stop! The song you're searching for is Money by the beatles full stop.
the damned already, knowingly, took that opening "is she really going out with him?" on "new rose" from "leader of the pack" from over a decade earlier, and they themselves didn't in turn complain when joe jackson did his own song with that same line two years afterward. the ramones never sued all the punk bands doing songs totally identical in some cases to theirs. compare beach boys' "surfin usa" with chuck berry's "sweet sixteen".
When three guys are basically playing the same riff, I believe protocol involves hating on the guy who made the most money with it... especially if he also made the worst song of the three. However, I'm sure a lot of kids were taken to this song after following Nirvana here through Killing Joke, so it's all good in the end.
@WolfgangVonPoserkila Yeah! Fuck everyone who has a different opinion than me! They all are douche bags because they think differently. You are so thick.
@WolfgangVonPoserkila Actually you said, "Fuck anyone who thinks killing joke are better than nirvana." Why the fuck does it matter what other people like? Oh and by the way, can you only read the word dipshit? "At least I can read dipshit.".
LOVE IT! Reminds me of sitting in my basement flat in the early 1980's listening to 'Strawberries' and drinking lots of beers in the morning after a night shift!! Who ever said The Damned couldn't write interesting music - AWAY THE CAPTAIN......
It's just a coincidense, when I messed around with my dad's guitar at age 9 (when I had no clue who Nirvana, nor who The Damned were) I came up with a similar intro.
@DanManThePurple funny you say that - when I was in a band back in the early '80's, I wrote a song I thought was just brilliant until I threw Strawberries on one day and realized that the guitar bit to my masterpiece was exactly the same as Life Goes On. But I don't actually think it was a ripoff, it's just a pretty logical little riff every guitar player probably come up with some variation of.
Got that much, I actually own a vintage print of it. I just want to know how, when, and in what frequency The damned used it. Was it an album cover I haven't seen? random poster? Was the text just put on it by the author of the video?
@LongHairedLoser I googled it myself, but didn't see anything. It's cool nonetheless, having an original print that both The damned and I thought was cool. I got real excited when I saw it as a thumbnail in the suggestion list. Thanks for the info.
I'm a big fan of both The Damned and Nirvana, and when I first heard this I figured Kurt had to have heard this. Kind of ironic since this is an anti-suicide song.
There's so much music in this world , that it's quite hard to do music that don't sound little like some other song , and the nirvana come as you are is much better than this .
The guitars have similarities, yet they all have a different tune, and I wouldn't say any of them are copied, cause thousands of songs sound similar, look at louie louie and more than a feeling, they just do, no copyright infringements... just music.
This isn't better or worse than Nirvana or Killing Joke. It's about the fucking same unless you're deaf. Or you're just an insecure poser who doesn't want to be associated with one of the other bands.
great song... it really gets you through the day. life is hard but theres always reasons things go wrong, if we never learn from our mistakes theres no telling what we would turn into. theres a reason to everything.
great song, love this track. ive heard the opening guitar in quite a few other songs, killing joke and nirvana used it. but if im right the damned originally did the opening guitar idea, theyve been around longer than ya think.
This is a totally shared tune by 3 of the best artists ever. The fact we still listen to them all proves it's not about upmanship but about the fact we love music and the fact this riff has stood the test of time.
rip off?? not necessary most of the time musicians, artists borrow from others...its kool as long as they dont act as if they dont...GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE...but sometime you actually dont know a riff has already been done...
loving it.. as you grow older you realise that its all pretty nasty but its been like that since time immemorial ..you come in on yer own and piss off much the same..just got to keep it together and respect one another or dive off if you want..today is the happiest day of your life
i met captain at the croydon ents centre[where he used to clean the bogs]while the band i was in [cooara]supported the stranglers.He had been a massive influence musically and i must say you could not hang with a nicer geezer..
Nirvana's song made me want to jump up and down, Killing Joke's song made me want to punch someone in the face, The Damned song made me want to rub one out, knock someone out and THEN celebrate.
@paranoidnutter It's also a cut-throat industry. If an artist has a legitimate case for plagiarism then they should sue to get what's rightfully theirs.
the riff has been developing... the original idea is from damned, but i think nirvana made it much better, and made a better song... the damned, killing joke and nirvana, they all composed come as you are...
Man, I'm SO pissed Courtney Love drugged Kurt Cobain and forced him to write Come As You Are and make it similar to this son and Eighties. Because, after all, Kurt never did ANYTHING wrong according to Nirvana fanatics. That evil bitch strikes again!
i know that it is anoying narvana ripped these guys off but at the end of the day come as you ar is a shitty song written by an over hyped shitty band

its good to see that people commenting on this video have a sense of humor about the Killing Joke/Nirvana thing. im sick of hearing people bitch about the whole thing.
damn dude im glad people have turned me over to the damned and killing joke, i needed a change of scenery music wise. all ive been listening to is crossover and thrash.
let's go through the history of music and see how many riffs are similar from 1 band to the next...thousands. but their completely different songs and that's all that matters. everyone shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@000TwistedFreak no mate its not, Kurt Cobain took the Come as you are rift form Killing Joke's - ‘Eighties’ and I’m assuming that Killing Joke in turn took the same rift from this track. There’s no way that either Killing Joke or The Damned could of ripped Cobain off as these two tracks were written in the 70s and 80s, Kurt admitted that 'come as you are' was influenced the ‘Eighties’ song which is probably why Killing Joke tried to sue Nirvana ha ha ha
@donkey2883 I know dude, i was making fun of how everyone can't stop discussing who ripped off who....Theyre all great songs, and actually not that similar except for the riffs...And even they are different
Killing Joke are the biggest frauds ever. They almost sued Nirvana for "borrowing this riff, yet they did the same thing when they stole it from The Damned. Killing Joke are the biggest posers in music history. Fuck them.
i don't think any of these bands are one hit wonders... and theres no price on getting a new generation of rock n roll bands going... music yes just music
This song is from 1982. Killing Joke's song is from 1984. I think it's safe to say that Killing Joke wouldn't have made their song "Eighties" without The Damned existing and Nirvana wouldn't have made "Come As You Are" without Killing Joke existing. Either way, you can thank The Damned for the existence of all 3 of those songs.
I can understand fully well why Kurt ripped the riff off. It is really great, but it is rather funny how three bands have written songs based off it....LOL.
I kid, the Damned are a class band. Just not the first thing that comes to my mind when "gothic rock" is mentioned. Usually its Christian Death or Pornography-era Cure. Oh well. Great song!
@BPECA1 goth rock is good but how the fuck can you confuse black metal or progressive metal with goth rock cradle of filth isnt shit get your genres right
@BPECA1 your piont was misunderstood, yes the majority of people call cradle of filth of goth rock and its not and goth rock is awesome without a dout it just seemed you were bashing those bands and i know everybody has there own taste in music
Killing Joke are the biggest frauds ever. They almost sued Nirvana for "borrowing this riff, yet they did the same thing when they stole it from The Damned. Killing Joke are the biggest posers in music history. Fuck them.
@RebelThoughts your right, because they had one, 2 songs that were not original we should forget about everything they have done and call them a horrible group, moron.
It's not like its the first time this has happened. Come together by the beatles . Lennon considered it a tribute to Chuck Berry.

@000TwistedFreak no mate its not, Kurt Cobain took the Come as you are rift form Killing Joke's - ‘Eighties’ and I’m assuming that Killing Joke in turn took the same rift from this track. There’s no way that either Killing Joke or The Damned could of ripped Cobain off as these two tracks were written in the 70s and 80s, Kurt admitted that 'come as you are' was influenced the ‘Eighties’ song which is probably why Killing Joke tried to sue Nirvana ha ha ha

Killing Joke are the biggest frauds ever. They almost sued Nirvana for "borrowing this riff, yet they did the same thing when they stole it from The Damned. Killing Joke are the biggest posers in music history. Fuck them.

This song is from 1982. Killing Joke's song is from 1984. I think it's safe to say that Killing Joke wouldn't have made their song "Eighties" without The Damned existing and Nirvana wouldn't have made "Come As You Are" without Killing Joke existing. Either way, you can thank The Damned for the existence of all 3 of those songs.

I can understand fully well why Kurt ripped the riff off. It is really great, but it is rather funny how three bands have written songs based off it....LOL.

I know it's a fine line but I think Killing Joke had a case, The Damned probably didn't.

I kid, the Damned are a class band. Just not the first thing that comes to my mind when "gothic rock" is mentioned. Usually its Christian Death or Pornography-era Cure. Oh well. Great song!
