Jason Shapiro and The Roofies "Why You?"

[zdenhart]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[toshidatv]

The Hives is so much better !!!!!

There is best, so best!

The Hives <3<3<3

[yacobim]

Holy shit.... who the hell has even heard of this loser? its a rock 'n' roll riff, did anyone sue each other back when 12 bar blues was just about all anyone used in rock 'n' roll? No!! it takes a special kind of dick to sue a world class band, and then have the nerve to say he "Absolutely loves the Hives"... and Conno, too right mate...

[Connojack]

underachieving losers.

Hives are law.

[artistcjalos]

This song flat out suck, and not because I like the Hives.  This song just plain out sucks.

[myroribrallan95]

thats like the most common riff in rock'n'roll music! both songs are stupid and simple and everyone has copied everyone.

[RevivalOfSka]

I like the hives but I feel really sorry for these guys. They made jack off this song and the hives have made millions probably on a song with essentially an identical verse. You can say the chorus is different all you want but let's face it people don't buy the song to hear some swish twathead say "tick tick boom" and some gash explosion. The verse is the best part.

[dante1690]

disaster!

[zenos12]

U R all full of SHIT and cum in yer asses. This isi WAY better than those there Hives!!

[ToplessArt]

The riff and vocals are pretty similar, but the chorus is quite different. And even then, "Tick Tick Boom" sounds like the Hives' style. So it could still be a mere coincedence.

...Unfortunately though, the Hives are much better.

[timebombchickens1413]

HOLY SHIT DUKE NUKEM IS PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING!!

this shithead blows hard dick. This song isn't even good. He sued the hives cus he can't make any money off his duke nukem costume and his stiff loser basist.

[peteryhyun]

The Hives owns these guys so hard.

Probably sued them cause the crap their song wasn't making any money and got jealous.

[ThaHives]

Shapiro should be proud that his songs are being recognized and being made better.

[alioop33]

Why did these people sue The Hives?? It's just fricking power chords.

[solconfi08]

the hives are better !!!!

[darlydoo]

.....and that means?

[poshnile]

its similar

[aabb3ElOriginal]

I dont think The Hives stole the song. They just made it better cuz this one sucks. They probably heard the riff and thought "hey, its kinda a good riff but the song sucks, Lets make it Better!"

[mig1188]

i've seen cases where people use similar structures in songs and they get sued for it..but damn the hives song is even in the same key. The dudes are only suing cuz of the main riff. but damn..i'd prolly see the roofies winning the case mainly cuz they recorded it first.

ps. nothing against the hives but damn

[sickriz]

even if the hives copied him...they made it much better....shapio should learn from the hives...and be grateful for someone who improves his stuff

[TheManicRampage]

The Hives certainly stole the verse, they even used the same melody with vocals. fail >: (

[aabb3ElOriginal]

perhaps but the hives shit is better :)

[ASongToPassTheTime]

sure you can hear the similaritys but suing the hives is a bit strong, the hives song is better anyway, he he

[Roedbettan]

I agree!

[tigerking615]

Mm, when I read the article i was like "wtf yeah right" but after hearing this the guy might actually have a case.

[webtixdirect]

Hey - time to pay the piper for The Hives that's all. Must be a legit case because from my understanding of the law in order for a plagiarism suit to go forward it must be legit and probably has much more to it that just the song sounding pretty much the same......degrees of seperation? Is this Jason dude Swedish? lol

[Prediictable23]

Sounds very similar, but The Hives song is better. (:

[emoleafsfan]

Sometimes songs just sound the same?

[baozakerga]

the verse of tick tick boom sounds similar, but the chorus IS NOTHING like it .

Tick Tick Boom is a better song

[jespermed1j]

Ja, men det var då man la ut videon på youtube, dumbass! Själva låten gjordes 1997.

[sexnolltva]

hahaha vilken loser!!, stöld?

Jaja han kanske såg sin chans att komma ut ir garaget där han antagligen fått stanna resten av sin "karriär"

[huberttwiddle]

Damn! Thats the same song alright...These guys seem cool...We know the Hives are cool...Either way I say keep rocking to both sides ...the world always needs more rock and roll:)

[chingpongionglong]

listening to this and tick tick boom (the hives) now at the same time, very like eachother, but what the hell? lol

[Yogioan]

Well..It a roumer going around that the hives got sued for plagiarism because of that :/

[chingpongionglong]

oh yeah, i read about that too. i think it kinda sux. I mean how many songs are there in the world that sound alike? (im guessing alot!) we cant do s*** for it anyways :P

[Deltidsharmonisk]

It sounds very much the same, especially with the vocals. But who fucking cares? Ut's just another three chord rock n roll song. All the rock songs was written in the 50's and 60's anyway, everything after is slightly altered.

[xXPitchforkXx]

And by the way, This guy's really ugly.

[nickracket]

It sounds very similar. It's not just the guitar, but the vocal melodies too.

They can prove they used this first because this was recorded in 1997.

[nickracket]

Actually they use 4 of the exact same chords. A, B, E and D. And if it weren't for the inclusion of A# and D# on the Roofies version it would be the exact same riff. It's not just the guitar they've ripped off either. Listen to how they sing "YEAAAAAHHH" It's exactly the same as the "IIIIIII" bit on this song. Face it, the hives have plagiarised this song big time.

[nickracket]

It's actually tone-deaf r-tard.

And this is all about the hives totally ripping of this song, not publicity.

[calleask]

0:31 heh

[pimpnez]

ha close enough huh

[joeydakillah]

lol va håller han på med? inte samma riff, ena likheten är att han skriker i början, men då har han la snott från ett 100tal låtar från punken... added oct 22 2008... säger endel om stämningsansökan

[ZnuteN]

inte samma riff? du är ju efterbliven, låter skit likt. helt uppenbart att the hives har stulit

[andriisch]

Fan va trött jag är på alla föredettingar som har slut på cash och behöver nya och då försöker få cash genom att säga att någon plagierat deras låt! Det finns miljontals låtar, någon måste låta lite likt en eller en annan. Det bara är så. Måste ju också säga att denna låten var riktigt, riktigt värdelös. Är inget The Hives-fan men jag tycker att The Hives håller större klass än detta skitet.

[Sofijah0427]

HELT KLART! men detta va bara töntigt att anklaga dem för tycker jag..

[MajorCoffey]

Fuck you roofies.

[Svensson450]

This is terrible.

[leksaken]

This is the worst shit i've heard.....

[Darklorden]

Bara vissa bitar som var likartade men på det hela taget är Hives låt inte något plagiat av denna låt.

[leano11]

the hives are being sued atm for ripping off this song in tick tick boom! they are pretty similar!
