Rising Signs - "Grey Man" recorded live at The Dundee Doghouse June 2006

[lefarce]

Hey everybody, I just figured out A, B and E chords. Ok well time for me to start accusing people of ripping me off, cya later. bye-bye!

[TheAlan67]

probably the BEST band. never to BE tasted.....shame!!!!

[scotthendo]

Sounds like Duffy ol' boy is trying to drum up some publicity by accusing Nick Cave of copying his song over a similar chord progression.

[Daudlagid]

Started like Grinderman, then turned into Hootie and the Blowfish. Clearly I understand why Nick Cave copied this song...

[aimlessalchemist]

This song is boring. It's completely inferior to Palaces of Montezuma, which is intricate and sophisticated. The similarities between the song's melodies are so simple and mundane as to obviously be coincidental. This guy's accusation that Nick Cave would have heard this song, liked it(!) and stole it, is hilarious. If you knew anything about Nick Cave you would know he would hate this song. It sounds like the worst kind of pop music, which he despises.

[Spoonface370]

Wait, does this mean I'm not allowed to use A, B and E chords in a song in case I'm accused of plagiarism?

[Absonata]

boring

[Gibbo2012]

Coming from Dundee. I am deeply saddened by the lack of support in regard to something that is plainly obvious. It must rise from its culture `If it doesn't benefit me I am not interested` `Its time to wake up and change your ways Dundee or soon you'll not even be a port in a storm`

[peechyq]

nope. still like nick cave better.

[pasilamus]

well at least nick cave didn't pollute the chords like this rubbish..

[Namdor2012]

Well they all stole from the blues like Elvis..Haaaa

2004

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Nature Boy

[Gibbo2012]

Nick by name Nick by nature.. my gift to you.

[Namdor2012]

@Gibbo2012

My gift to you...

[Gibbo2012]

@Namdor2012 Haha

[crookie80]

haha didnt realise this was on Youtube, seems we recorded that many moons ago

[boobsticles]

Why would Nick Cave deny this hours after this story hit the papers??? If there was nothing in it he wouldn't give a shit and just laugh rather than spill his guilt the same day.

[Gibbo2012]

The more you listen to the lyrics in this song the more you can begin to parallel them into your own life.. where as` Palaces of Montezuma` from my point of view is nothing more than pyscho-babble... Well Done for at least bringing it to our attention.. and hope other people take notice.. for everything happens for a reason and its too much a co-incidence for there not to be some connection here.

[telanm01]

@Gibbo2012 hahahaha what a loser

[aimlessalchemist]

@Gibbo2012 Did you say "psycho-babble" just because Nick Cave sings "psychedelic invocations/Of Mata Hari at the station"? Because there's nothing about psychology anywhere in the song besides the syllable "psych". You don't know what these words mean, do you? You should look them up because they have completely different meanings.

[hippyhippysheikh]

Ha ha, check out all the Nick Cave ball-lickers. It's hilarious how annoyed some people are getting about this. I've seen some REALLY shit 'bands' on youtube, but this actually is pretty good if you can stop hanging out of Nick Cave's ass for a moment and view it objectively... it seems to me that most of the judgement here is based on some of Grinderman's male groupies (hi Sirproblematique!) getting their feelings hurt. Awe, you guys ok? You sure?

[thunderboltdynamite]

@hippyhippysheikh

Ok, listening purely objectively.... still pish.

[sirproblematique]

Man, this song is so shit. I don't know how arrogant you can be, but even comparing yourself to Nick Cave is blasphemous. More like Nick Carter...

[boobsticles]

@sirproblematique Take your face out of Nick Caves Arse you little groupie Cunt.

[sirproblematique]

@boobsticles lol, out of his arse? ha I can just recognise talent, it's ok, so long as you're happy you can keep living in fantasy land. also you can't copright a chord progression, especially one as simple as this (yes, it is simple, I've got an honours degree in music, I think i'd know). douchebag

[boobsticles]

@sirproblematique You'v got a degree in music wow how about getting a record deal you fud! stick your degree up your arse and write a song about it YA DICK!

[sirproblematique]

@boobsticles maybe i already did? douchbag is as douchebag does

[thunderboltdynamite]

ye i did hear Nick Cave and Warren Ellis were knocking about Dundee looking for shitey bands to rip off. Similar my arse! If it was more views they were looking for they'd have been better calling the song Lorraine Kelly's Paps.

[TheLexyboy]

@thunderboltdynamite id view it lol.......fuck id favourite it!

[telanm01]

WHat a douche, this song sucks, you look/sound like a wannabe John ashcroft, go to hell

[leezo83]

i dont know any one who owns a nick cave album do u? ????

[drakonimetal]

This looks like a part of "Hey Jude", accuse Nick Cave of plagiarism is a shot in his own foot.

[Gonzo196969]

Sounds like c grade U2, not a fan of middle of the road young bands. I can't listen to much of this kind of pap.

[denisefouche101]

hey dude with the sunglasses.........YOURE HOT can i have youre number i lost mine??????? and i love this song...!!!!!!!!!!!

[belter1885]

JUSTHEREBARELY..do you know anything about music? cos tempo has nothing to do with it ya dafty. you just wish nick cave was your gay lover. go study music then come break down "grey man" and maybe you wont look like such a tit with your comment

[justherebarely]

Any resemblence is only perhaps in tempo. He could only wish Nick Cave would want to emulate him.

[BennyRoe]

Why the fuck would Nick Cave need to search him for inspiration?

[rotov80]

@BennyRoe i don't know but it's hard to say that he didn't... :(

[rossco29]

the grey man i love it great sound

[mutinyinheav3n]

If I was this guy, I'd choose someone other than one of the greatest songwriters of all time to go after, e.g Nick fuckin Cave...

[poulom1]

I heard that Nick Cave has started wearing sunglasses and opening his shirts a few buttons on stage as well...

[RedLeftFist]

@poulom1 Sorry, but Nick Cave has been doing these things before these guys appeared... I don't like what he's done, but he's still a music innovator and an influential persona and artist; you better respect that

[DaveyDee86]

Palaces Of Montezuma comparisons aside, this is an awesome tune in it's own right.

[UWHAT07]

Who does this guy think he is calling Nick Cave a plagiarist? How about he gets a name for himself the legit way buy selling records instead of calling out Nick Cave and riding on his coat tales. Screw this guy and his rubbish music

[balata13]

nice sun glasses...

[belter1885]

fucking legend. on ya go !

[leezo83]

this is well better version than nick caves x
