Avril Lavigne Copied Bowling for Soup?!?! YOU DECIDE!!

[NanouoMusic]

pop punk is the worst genre to ever be made?

[antivenompene]

Neither of the songs are very original (although I like them both). They're basic pop-punk, I bet if you tried you could find a hundred songs that sound similar.

[ThisHoeXD]

you are a complete dumb ass if u think these sound the same.....

[tin187]

im not a fan of avrils i love bowling for soup but i honestly have to say i dont think she copied them on this one. they sound alike but arent exactly the same. plus you only put in the beginning what about the rest of the songs.

[matej613]

it more sounds like i melt whit you then punk rock 101

[Frankb1989]

punk rock 101

[Diiddyx]

Okay, firstly: the guitar sounds are TOTALLY different. I mean, what the fuck? And the lyrics, you didn't even put them. So we can't know.

[3046718pancakemix]

She has stolen all of her music which her dumb-ass fans say is "original" and "coincidental" She is a t.hief, and it is VERY obvious. But, still have no idea how she gets away with it

[ImaginosStudios]

Really funny if you know the BFS song and what it's saying.

[TheAnimelover39]

Avril has said that her producers for a few songs would not listen to her and just did there own thing I wonder if this is one of them?

[Twobit333]

You think that's bad? Search up 48 May and click on the first result.

[TheKurauchiha]

dude its not the same and i bet bowling for soup approved it -_- if your ganna try and sart shit start it about something you an prove

[guitarfreak1592]

well.....she was drunk the whole time making that record......but i really doubt she meant it

[DieKokosnussNr1]

maybe you did good work, but boy/lady, I for my part don't care at all, Avril is hot as hell and her (machined) songs are freaking good.

and Bowling for Soup...

...the only thing I can say is: they're last rockshow is when we die :)

[aRiskyRussian]

@DieKokosnussNr1 Ew she's not really hot...She's got horribly squinty eyes

[blueyandstormy]

so what. theyre both good. a lotta bands copy other bands/ artists but it doesn't mean i don't like their music!!!!!!!!!!!!! pop punk ftw mutha fuckas!

[rainbownerd13]

WTF SHE COPIES PEOPLE THATS SO RETARDED......And that's why I never listen to her.

[thetruephobia]

The Hoe Bros did it too but it's way more obvious, I figured it out so long ago though that I can't remember which songs they were.

[omagafox123]

so it sounds similar who cares

[TheSulferzombie]

Are you people really surprised? It's Avril Lavigne. If it sounds even halfway good, it's been stolen from another band.

[Jay8018]

how about Green Day 's 21GUNS and Avril's Complicated ?

Could you make a cilp for compare this two song?

[aRiskyRussian]

@Jay8018 Well that would be a case of Green Day copying Avril since 21 guns came second.

[evantaubenfeld25]

what the fuck

[pokemonnicholas]

well its clear that punk rock 101 is better, cosidering its one of my fav song i dont even know the avril song

[Cabrini6000]

For one, Bowling for Soup is WAY BETTER than whats-her-face. And two, this song is copied.

[topgear33]

shes a bitch

[demons258]

~!&*$ did rip off BFS, btw it isnt about how high the pitch is..its about sounding the same dip$*@&

[rainbowboyu]

i just wanna make it clear that there are only so many combinations of musical notes out there, and its not surprising if a few bars are the same as a different song....mmmmkay?

[Rocktube17]

it sounds completely different! guys, dont dis avril she is amazing

[VacantSneerface]

Lawl, I always thought what she did with that song sounded like a mix of Blink-182 & Bowling for Soup.

[SammylouTV]

sound nothing alike to me! and avril is da bomb! <3 shes awesome!

[Randompd]

Avril didn't copy Bowling For Soup because the keys are way different.

[danielkirk1]

Music is turning into shit . It's more about worshiping the devil and wearing black fingernails these days . Pathetic.

[GothicFruitBat]

:O SHE DID COPY THEM! THAT BITCH!

[Roxelle95]

NO.Sono simili ma non sono copiate.

[DinoRawr4Love]

Its a comen begining of songs. I have heard it before.

[missAvrilish]

NO. :)

Sum 41 produced Avril's last CD The Best Damn Thing, deryck played guitar and steve was on drums. so there is no possibility.

[nightmareutopia]

Grrr...u guys suck. Similiarties in songs is the whole point of music!!!

[babbygurl59]

i always thought there was something about it.

[depaki123]

omfg it's copied she copied them wow :O

[Walkingpylon]

yeah copied totally. avril sucks. Bowling for Soup all the way! avril lavign shoudent of got the credit for that.

[SirDynoKilla]

i love b4s.fuck avril

[EmmaM105]

Omg

[lslime123]

sounds the same but who cares piss off peeps

[greendayandsum41]

She did'nt copy she was inspired

[BarbababaBabarMama]

she wasn't inspider she was plagiate inspirated

[greendayandsum41]

Okey..I cinda have to agree..BFS is so much better than her anyway, no mather how mutch she tries to copy them, so..=D=D

[GothicFruitBat]

Yeah they make the sounds sound better but still she tried to make THEM sound better. Thats what pisses me off!

[greendayandsum41]

I agree..

[aizat27]

there are hundreds of possibilities that 2 ( or maybe 3 or 4) humans brain could come out with the same idea... so you decide !

[avril76evil]

ya your right omg oooh well i dont care if she did i still LOVE HERE!!

[rikozhao]

good call

[lunalamin]

the introductory instrumental sounded the same..that was all

[bobbobinsen]

:L:L:L Bfs didnt even write that song :L:L:L

but everything sounds better when bfs play it :)

[GothicFruitBat]

They did write that song actually. Jaret was on a talk show about it.

[txcowgirl18]

that's totally plagerism.

Anyone who says it no, isn't really listening.

Hear the pitch and count the notes.

IT's in the background but it''s toally there

[nathan190kearly]

sounds a little the same but oh welll

[RockerChikXXX]

wow they do sound the same......but that sorta rythem has been around for years anyway

[AvriLUVA]

They do sound a little alike,, but it's not plagerism exactly

[aghiskizza]

poser

[skilleris]

u call this hard ??? this is simple power chord mess around .. lol i play most of them with my eyes cloesd ... it probably justed coincidence .. or played n lower higher key with same power chords people do that not realy copyright .. METALLICA types of songs are hard this is 13 year old stuff mediocore guyz no offence i like avril and bfs alike well myopinion bfs are just crazier nicer guys cuz they act like 5 year olds while avril satyes in one place like statue :D:D

[cleorox102]

heh the sound a little bit alike, but like not enough for her to be called a plagarist

[XanaXaquilinaX]

a bit alike? that's the same thing as saying tokio hotel "didn't steal" the rasmus intro in "not like the other girls". i don't know if she stole it or if the owns the copy rights... but she seems to copy everything x|

[nicalol]

actually, i don't think Avril lavigne copied BFS. the better and nicer word to put it is:

The producers obviously used BFS's song as inspiration for this song..

honestly, people both parties make great songs.. and honestly i think they only sound the same in the begining but the rest of the songs sound distantly unalike. T_T" so shut up with this copying shit.

[captainkeeeta]

No, one makes good songs while the other steals.

[nicalol]

how do you know they steal?.. exactly.. >:P noo comment. T_T"

[savagedarrengirl]

yea she totaly copied that

shes a little fucking poser

[lippydolphin]

Avrils awsome and do u know how hard it is to right a song nowadays because there are already so many songs its really hard to get an origanal tune all the time

[redun1DAN1t]

wow every song from that fuckin cd is stolen

[captainkeeeta]

lols. good call.

[firefanboy]

I'm actually a fan of Avril and BFS and I am ashamed I never caught her blatant plaigarism before having it pointed out for me. Oh well, I still like her stuff even if she is a thief.

[PinkyGirlxoxo]

ok, im a avril fan & i luv her music, i wouldn't say she copied...& she don't reallie write da songs, so ya...

and do u guys no how hard it is 2 write songs?rythem?tune?melody?lyric­s?

no!!

so shut up abt all da bad comments!

& give avril a break guys!!!

[captainkeeeta]

Do you know how easy it is to write songs? Tune isn't really even a factor in writing songs. First you make a rythym, then the melody just kind of comes along, and lyrics are made at the end, which you usually come up with in stage 1.

I wrote three songs on my own, and let me tell you this. You take the guitar chords, make a lead, the bass follows guitar, and drums keep the beat.

[DAMAGETV666]

no way man your just pulling at straws dude!

[theresaxolove]

stolen :)

and to anyone who says stuff like "well she made it better"...

no. never.

ESPECIALLY MCR!!! who she stole off of as well.

and many other pretty decent artists she totally ripped.

i hate avril. everyone should. :)

[punkprincess25497]

ppl, if u hate avril, then pls keep the mean comments 2urself. It wont do any gud, it'll only hurt the fans feeling. So b considerate. Im 11, pls b a gud example. Im a huge avril fan. N i noe there r ppl creating a haters club. N i also noe ppl r cursing her. Bt pls, put urself in my shoes. Wad if others insult ur role model? i bet u wont b happy. So spare a thought 4 others. Thanks for reading! :)

[theresaxolove]

sorry punkprincess,

but i just can't stand it that avril is a role model for kids just like you.

it sickens me to my very soul.

i swear, if i ever got the chance, i would erase every piece of evidence that avril ever put music on the shelves.

a better world, it'd be :)

ps: trust me, i am a much better example than avril. nearly striaght a's, well-behaived, and just a genuine person. exact opposite of avril :) see?

and no one insults my role models because hey are awesome ;)

[punkprincess25497]

well, i know she's a bad example, but her music are so rockin!!! I just don't get why people hate her :|

[Inbasul]

Because she has no talent.

[afivestartragedy]

I agree with this statement. The "she has no talent" statement, that is. Because it's true.

[captainkeeeta]

I wouldn't say "NO talent". She has talent. She just can't or doesn't use it right. It's like a guy who is mediocrely good at math but is just too lazy to go through school so he becomes a thief.

[finglemaster]

@Inbasul Her talent seems to have gotten her somewhere... Show some respect

[Jaysunai]

You don't need talent to get into the music industry now, lol. Just luck/money/connections.

[frydalovespungen]

yeah its so fucking similar... I hate that bitch... !!!! well her music its nice... but its no nice stolen songs..lol

[ashleytisdale101p]

cant tell that much

[shylooks043]

you can't really tell if she really copied it. almost all of the songs are the same in many different ways.

[16inky]

yea they really sound alike kind of diff but u can so tell.

[Lakridsbamse]

Dont think they sounds like the same? xD

ok, maybe a little. But i dont think she copyed them xD

[Fijala]

i dont believe that avril knows this band !!!

this are only a couple of fu***** chords ........that sound similar ...go and cry!

[WizzMasterZero]

there pretty popular and that song won a grammy, avril laginve def knows them.

think before you speak cunt

[Fijala]

oh common u people always have to fight ....gosh does it matter ......

well i just wanted to say that so many musicians use the same chords and nobody cares ......

[whymecjh]

well... bowling for soup sucks anyway so i doesn't really matter i mean who cares?

[Lakridsbamse]

I care!

i like bowling for soup!?! O__O

then, if you dont care.. why see the video?

[Kompleksiti]

I usually cabnt stand it when people hate singers and blah blah, like JB hatesr and MCR haters and everything, but, I dont actually ink anyone LIKEs avril anymore

[gamefreekgrrl143]

I do! In fact, me and my friends listen to her music ALL the time and we aren't a bunch of fucked up lesbian ten year olds, we're 16 and most of the kids in my school like her too. I hate Jonas Brothers, what's wrong with that?

[Kompleksiti]

theres nothing wrong with hating the jonas brothers, I was just saying, I hate it when pple go out of their way to put their fans down. Like, people sometimes send cruel messages to kids just for being a JB fan.

Im an MCR fan and there was a time for about a month when people would say sick things to me for liking this band.

Its people like THAT that I cant stand.

And theres nothing wrong with listening to avril either, I sont judge pple for the bands they like...at least not in a bad way

[afivestartragedy]

for the record, MCR is awesome, so fuck whatever people have said about them :)

[Epiphany2116]

I hated her before i saw this, didnt think i could hate her more, but its happened!

The copying, song snatching dog.

[geniusgirl08a13]

omg! she copied Bowling For Soup!!!! How the feck could she????? She really needs to stop copying people

[ceuxdelamvil]

AVRIL LAVIGNE = BITCH!!!

i said i liked some of her songs but now I know why:

BFS, the Rubinoos... and much more

[Melancholic00]

NO. NOT BOWLING FOR SOUP, THE BITCH! This was one of my favorite BFS songs too . . .

[watch3Fv3DRgohnTU9]

wow i heard both songs many times and ive never noticed that it was almost the same kinda music

[thrashcopycats]

BFS COPIED SUM41 FOR THIS

[qutiepye445]

i dont think she does this on purpose

[myarseisround]

shes married to dereck whibley sum 41 frontman who wrote "makes no difference". punk rock 101 was supposedly copied from that by bowling for soup. artists get ideas from other songs and styles but surely it would be more sense to say it was copied from sum rather than bowling for soup :)

[xBiteMeGentlyx]

i know i hate how she freaking copies everyone i think boycotting her would teach her, i mean honestly look at how she freking copied amy lee! (my idol) and she copies everyones music its honestly pathetic, and i noticed this but never had time to actually listen properly but its like note for not thats so pathetic how talentless do you have to be to do that and not state that you copied it. gosh... ha ha yeah its np i love your stuff real talent and anything for a blink-182 fan

[xBiteMeGentlyx]

oh she so megaly did i love bowling for soup like seriously i never even knew avril did this far out im pretty mad, it sucks how musicians can do this and just get away with it like with out a problem =[

[xxdeamonxx6]

oh wow your good how do you get this stuff
