If you "retired" every chord progression that had already been used the airways would have fallen silent years ago! the odd bit of imitation helps innovation anyway! you pluck a string on a guitar, hit a piano key bang a drum, you've invariably copied someone somewhere!!
I admit they do sound kinda the same but every band uses bands they love to help and influence their music. And who cares? U2 and The Killers are two amazing bands.
fuck the killers...lol a fall out boy is trying to debate about music...
probably this is why...Brandon Flowers on Fall Out Boy: "Emo is dangerous. There’s a creature inside me that wants to beat all those bands to death." (NME, 2006).
. Dude, If this was from a U2 song, 1.) Brandon Flowers MAIN influence was/ is U2 so he wouldnt do that just to do it. & 2.) Even if he did, he would have had to have COPYRIGHT for that part of the song! So wither way its a win win for both of the bands.
Yeah, of course they suck. That's why, y'know, the Vertigo tour is the 3rd highest grossing tour of ALL TIME and the 360 tour is the 6th. In the top 20 tours, U2 appears FOUR TIMES. And the Killers (who I love by the way, my 2nd favourite after U2) have actually stated that U2 are their biggest inspiration. Their sound is incredibly like U2's, not that it's a bad thing! Coldplay have ALSO sampled U2's sound...
But yeah U2 clearly must suck, I mean one eejit on YouTube says it so it must be true
Well I don't even know why I'm getting into this haha. But saying a band is the Biggest Selling band, doesn't make them good. I'm not saying U2 suck..i'm just saying your argument isn't valid.. It's just opinions
I don't actually want you to die, that's just silly. It sounded a lot less serious in my head. Sorry if i u took it to heart. Still think you are way off, but again, I wish u no literal harm.
i can see your point but i've never picked this out before i'd say it's just slight coincidence if you listen to the whole thing you can hear they are both unique songs
@roxorgirl13 crawl back into the whole you came out of and die. U2 are rock gods and the killers aren't fit to wipe their asses. Fuck the killers and the rest of the new generation of "Rock" which is less Rock&Roll than than fucking 50's pop.
The styles are similar but the chords and the feel of the two songs are not the same. U2 is an influence of The Killers so it's not surprising that they sound similar at times. The Killers have enough talent on their own without having to rip off other bands.
U2 is the best band in the world. The Killers are the best band of the noughties. Both of these songs are absolutely incredible. Why do you guys have to pit the two greatest bands of our time against eachother?
um.. no.. they both went to their own melody.. similar sound yeah, but all of sam's town has a U2 feel :P it just shows their influences translate through their music.. as does a LOT of music, not just the killers.
no definitely not... U2 is one of the killers' biggest inspirations. thats why they sounds like them sometimes. pretty much happens with every band out there... somehow they sound similar to their inspirations in some way... hmm wonder why?
No, I don't think the Killers stole this from U2 - and I am a big U2 fan, so I would certainly call it if I thought it were so! Nonetheless, they sounded really good played together like that, so thank you.
Miracle drug came out first, but saying a riff is similar isn't the same as ripping off a song. The Edge and Dave just have similar guitar styles, it happens all the time. It's hard in this day and age to come up with something completely original.
Its not a rip-off honestly, they're similar in the way it builds up, but U2's has more change ups to it, plus, a bunch of songs have similar riffs, just used differently
i'm not gonna say they're nothing like each other because they definitely are... if not the same, but in the killers defense, it isn't a very original guitar solo.
No NOS LEAS ESTO!!! si lla los as leido copia y pega esto en 5 videos mas o tu madre morirá en 3 dias, hacedlo por fabor mi a mi amigo le paso, yo lo e hecho pa que no me pase, por fabor acedme caso. esto es una maldicioooooon
you know there are only a certain amount of musical notes in the world which means that eventually every possible combination of them is going to have been done and people are going to have to repeat them!!
"stealing" a chordprogression or some music theory/core is totally ok, no one owns musical patterns, BUT, stealing an attitude/arrangement is TOTALLY GAY, should I slide up on the guitar like in nirvanas scentless apprentice? eh no, whatta damn rip off it would appear..... the killers are utterly gay in every single way anyhow...
well I can hear the simiar chords but like someone says alot of songs are similar that's how groups influence other artists.....Killers are better...hee hee
i agree with eveyone else they are different, but i think its just that the guitar chords are similar at that point in time. Some songs actually do have a coincedence in chords somtimes
hey its hard to come up with a song that isnt at all similar to something else. so they used the same notes in one little bit of the song, its not enough to be a rip off
OMG! They're both picking high notes! U2 should sue!
Seriously, there is no similarity. Different chords, different melody, different everything. I wouldn't even call it a coincidence, as that implies they actually have something substancial in common.
Similar but not ripped, the notes are different. And you can't copyright a rhythm. If you are really looking for a U2 rip look at Shadow of the Day and With or Without You
similar but the killers completly changed it to their style and seems more like the killers where inspired by u2s style rather than ripping them off and stealing their work
Brandon Flowers has performed with U2...even if it is a deliberate rip off...i doubt anyone really cares...both songs are great and dont sound like the same thing if you dont really look for it so it doesn't really matter i guess...
killers are alright i have there first cd it was good,i think they went a little "soft" since then,but the're still good.U2 is a good band they deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame but i honestly think they are one of the most overrated bands of alltime or top 20 atleast.
haha ur quick and i cant spell, ill give u that! im not trying to start an argument fella
but u2 are great, not so much these days but Joshua Tree is one of the best albums ever! i just dont think the killers have written anything GREAT (album wise)
Hahaha don't agree about Killer's being far better but we all respect each others opinion, but you could not be more correct about everyone stealing from Pachelbel's haha kudos!!
You know, in reality about 80% of pop/rock songs use the same chord progression: either Am F C G for minor or C G Am F for major, or some slight variations.
Beautiful Day and When You Were Young actually have exactly the same chords: When You Were Young is:
E F# G#m B
B.Day, transposed, is:
F# G#m B E
Try it, you'll see what I mean... the point is, nearly all rock songs follow one of 4 or 5 models, and there's no shame in using these techniques - they're used simply because they sound good!
this can happen... it's just the same note
it's inspiration perhaps

You know, in reality about 80% of pop/rock songs use the same chord progression: either Am F C G for minor or C G Am F for major, or some slight variations.
Beautiful Day and When You Were Young actually have exactly the same chords: When You Were Young is:
E F# G#m B
B.Day, transposed, is:
F# G#m B E
Try it, you'll see what I mean... the point is, nearly all rock songs follow one of 4 or 5 models, and there's no shame in using these techniques - they're used simply because they sound good!
