@joeshmo416 OK . so you just ripped off this guys video and left the watermark of the program on to prove it. And then you Title it AVRIL STEALS......???? AM I the only one that sees just what a complete dick you are?
@frogsoda you might call some one a complete dick, but you didnt notice that ''avril steals'' is the title from the movie this video was responded to. NOTICE THE RE.
@techskater107 No, I saw it. I've also heard about the charge of Avril stealing the song before. But stealing a vid to prove that some didn't steal a song is still complete dickery. He could have just linked to it in the comments of that vid and sent 164,891 views back to the author. He could have made a short vid referencing this vid. Or at least done a little bit of editing to this one instead of just downloading it and re uploading it with his own name on it.
Well, you totally miss a point here, 'cause the similarity between the Lavigne song and the Peaches song doesn't lay in the chords or melody. it's about the beat, the sound of the drums and the way she recites the lyrics. There's no such 'coincidences'.
how the fuck can you come up with your own chords?
you cant invent chords, everything has pretty much being figured out theoretically in music.
gatesgirl6661 shut up! its pretty impossible to be original without playing 2 chords together that some other music has anyways, most (90%) of pop songs are around the same set of keys anyways and they go in a I-VI-V-I cadence. canon in D was pop music of them days, just the cadences were new at the time, by about 100 years lol.
Pachabel's canon in D is actually a circle of fifths, and thats why its used everywhere...you cant really steal it because its just a division of the octave...
"punk music is just a joke, it's really baroque" the proof is from one of the best rappers of all time: FALCO! his song "Amadeus" is about how much of a punk Mozart is
He's not kidding about this horrible act against cellos. I remember our middle school playing this once and Randy fell asleep on his cello right in the middle of it.
ur right. everything has already been tried so nothing can be original anymore. suing is started to get overrated. i'm a musician and if i heard another musician or band do something that is almost exactly like something i did, i wouldnt be mad, i'd be flattered that inspired others. that's what music should be about.
this guy is hilarious by the way! and i did not realize that so many bands and singers had songs that had similar chords to pachelbel canon. thats interesting.
This is on Paravonian's own channel. Where it belongs. You don't steal someone's video and re-upload it. I hope Rob Paravonian calls you on copyright-infringement. I think I'll let him know.
soooo true. people need to leave Pachelbel's stuff alone and stick with the new thing called originality. It's a proven fact that people enjoy hearing music that sounds similar to other musical pieces they have heard. It's pathetic how other bands/singers can't even come up with their own cords. hm...disappointment much?
3. You cant just put random chords together and make it sound good. All chords has certain "relatives" that sound good in the certain key.
I dont want to go more in-depth with this as i notice you have very little knowledge regarding music composition. Do a litte search on the "circle of fifths" and chord progressions.
i would appreciate it if you did NOT criticize someone you didn't even know over the internet. That is highly immature of you. =] Anyways I probably have more "knowledge regarding musical composition" in my pinky finger than you do in your whole body. Your stupid, I'm not. And were not talking about random cords either. Go suck a dick. Then go get a life.=] Thanks for your time, man.
haha i like how you left a decent comment and he proceeded to say..i would appreciate it if you did NOT criticize someone you didn't even know over the internet. That is highly immature of you.".. followed by "Go suck a dick." hahah and he's wrong so that makes it even funnier
to the video's poster: there is a HUGE difference between using a well established chord pattern/melody as the theme or base of a song and using the ENTIRE song. chords are like numbers, they are set and pretty much wont change...but no one criticizes mathematicians for using a simple formula to prove a larger point. if a mathematician stole an entire theory, however, it would be huge. get the difference? she didnt just take a basic chord pattern, she completely ripped off the song.
As a cellist, not only did I find this hilarious, I feel the need to put forward that he's not exaggerating as much as you might think. That damn song haunts the corners of my nightmares.
i totally agree with you . i also play the cello/base(both) i can hear it in so many songs so i started learning the viola part on the cello(didn't work very well)
LOL, this guy makes an astute observation. Most pop songs follow the exact same formula because listeners like to hear songs that sound at least 90% similar to the last song they liked.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dude, it's just the same damn chords, not outright plagiarism. I think your hypothesis is a little pretentious and jumping the gun. If Avril Lavigne even knows who Pachelbel is, I'd be surprised. :P
yeah I realized this too the first time I heard a remix to that song playing Pump it Up (the hardest dance game in the world) I was thinking "what the hell??" and then my school played that Vitamin C song at the end of the year to say goodbye to the seniors. And that song is WAAAY too obvious with it.
Other cannon based songs from accross the music genres.. Dragonforce-Valley of the Damned (&most other Dragonforce songs) Pet Shop Boys-Go West MOU IKKAI(search youtube) Auld Lang Syne(New Years Eve Song) Ben E King-Stand by me Metallica-Master of puppets(solo) All Together Now-The Farm Graduation-VitaminC Hook-Blues Traveler 1 Tin Soldier-Original Caste Peter Paul M-Puff The Magic Dragon Irene Cara-What a Feeling Chemical Romance-The Black Parade Coolio-C U When U Get There
That's really funny. He's obviously a really good musician, but what's really impressive is the monologue he wrote for this whole piece. It's almost "ALice's Restaurant" good in it's execution.
can somebody tell me what songs he sings there i know a few machine head by bush i know the 2 green day songs we're not gonna take it and a few others.
it is overused but it is a simple chord progression. very simple. but catchy! many variations have been made to this progression also. i think it is so well used because it is one of the oldest chord progressions that doesnt just cycle through the circle of 5ths all the way through...?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If anyone thinks all those songs he mentions are rip offs then think for a second. There's a reason why in music...we have "keys." Pachebel's piece is in D but Green Day's piece is in Eb. So, really, if you take all those songs with those chords and put them in the key of D, then yes, you will have a lot of songs sounding the same.
It has nothing to do with keys. It has everything to do with chords and cadences. I chords, IV chords, VII chords, and V chords basically. The chord structures are still the same fucking thing, just in a different key on occasion.
Yeah and there's more to a song than it's rhythm guitar chords; like leads and vocal melodies. A song isn't a rip off soley because it has the same chords of another song, especially if they're not even in the same key {though having the same structure.}
Well, you put lyrics and a drumline to Pachelbel. There were none, ergo there can not be a straight ripoff. The basic Chord Structure is the same, except there is more talent in Pachelbel's piece. (Which isn't even a Cannon really)
You don't need actual song lyrics or a singer to have melodies in a song. You can take a song like "Basket Case" and play the vocal line on guitar, you'd still have all the parts of the song, they'd just be played instead of sung. Well, Canon In D has all sorts of melodies going on which can serve the same purpose, giving both songs and many others variety and a difference. You can't honestly believe every song with the same chords is a rip off.
That would be a no on the Theory question. Look, when you're debating about music, make sure you are not debating against a musician who is going to school for music. You don't have to tell me about not having to have vocals in a song to have a melody; I pretty much said that myself when I said that Pachelbel's Cannon in D had no vocals or a drumline. Obviously it has a melody or bands like that wouldn't have sparked Mr. Paravonian's skit.
Look, I'm not going to start shaking in my boots cause you're taking some big theory class. You don't NEED to know theory to acknowledge that a song is more than just it's chords and to acknowledge that a song isn't a rip off of another song SOLEY because it's the same chord structure. And there's no "class" you can take to give you some kinda merit for your opinion. It's about looking at the bigger picture of a song, instead of individual parts and then branding them "rip offs" or not.
in this case its D A Bm F#m G D G A but if you want to get Technical like Maveric 057 its I V IV III IV I IV V which is changed to differnt keys to make all the songs sound them same.
duh almost all songs have the same chords but not the same melody thats the thing i always write basic g,c,d and em chords but they dont have the same melody only the same chords
dude...I...hate...pacobell...he sucks...and so does everyone who ripped off his chords...oh1 and I also hate the freakin chello...but this guy is hilarious!!!

Pachelbel is always following me."

it is overused but it is a simple chord progression. very simple. but catchy! many variations have been made to this progression also. i think it is so well used because it is one of the oldest chord progressions that doesnt just cycle through the circle of 5ths all the way through...?

a lot of songs, I THINK LIKE ALMOST EVERY song is similar to the Pachelbel Cannon

This comment has received too many negative votes show
If anyone thinks all those songs he mentions are rip offs then think for a second. There's a reason why in music...we have "keys." Pachebel's piece is in D but Green Day's piece is in Eb. So, really, if you take all those songs with those chords and put them in the key of D, then yes, you will have a lot of songs sounding the same.

I need a life? Wow, I guess every musician in the world who knows a thing or two about music, keys also needs a life.
DangerousRisks 4 years ago
You're still stupid.
It has nothing to do with keys. It has everything to do with chords and cadences. I chords, IV chords, VII chords, and V chords basically. The chord structures are still the same fucking thing, just in a different key on occasion.
Maverick057 4 years ago
Yeah and there's more to a song than it's rhythm guitar chords; like leads and vocal melodies. A song isn't a rip off soley because it has the same chords of another song, especially if they're not even in the same key {though having the same structure.}
DangerousRisks 4 years ago
Well, you put lyrics and a drumline to Pachelbel. There were none, ergo there can not be a straight ripoff. The basic Chord Structure is the same, except there is more talent in Pachelbel's piece. (Which isn't even a Cannon really)
Are you in AP music theory?
Maverick057 4 years ago
You don't need actual song lyrics or a singer to have melodies in a song. You can take a song like "Basket Case" and play the vocal line on guitar, you'd still have all the parts of the song, they'd just be played instead of sung. Well, Canon In D has all sorts of melodies going on which can serve the same purpose, giving both songs and many others variety and a difference. You can't honestly believe every song with the same chords is a rip off.
DangerousRisks 4 years ago
That would be a no on the Theory question. Look, when you're debating about music, make sure you are not debating against a musician who is going to school for music. You don't have to tell me about not having to have vocals in a song to have a melody; I pretty much said that myself when I said that Pachelbel's Cannon in D had no vocals or a drumline. Obviously it has a melody or bands like that wouldn't have sparked Mr. Paravonian's skit.

Look, I'm not going to start shaking in my boots cause you're taking some big theory class. You don't NEED to know theory to acknowledge that a song is more than just it's chords and to acknowledge that a song isn't a rip off of another song SOLEY because it's the same chord structure. And there's no "class" you can take to give you some kinda merit for your opinion. It's about looking at the bigger picture of a song, instead of individual parts and then branding them "rip offs" or not.

actually it's more like A chord D chord and G chord and Em chord.
musicluvr911 4 years ago
You have no idea what a I or a V chord even is apparently.
Maverick057 4 years ago
in this case its D A Bm F#m G D G A but if you want to get Technical like Maveric 057 its I V IV III IV I IV V which is changed to differnt keys to make all the songs sound them same.

You mean I V VI III IV I IV V

the second last one is not actually IV, it's IIb.
lavraiemusicienne 3 years ago
Nope, you're wrong, in canon it's G which is IV :)
You should study the piece before arguing about it! ^^

Um....I thought it was Canon in D.... I actually play the cello and I understand what Rob means! But instead, I had to play it 58 times....

i have the music infront of me. the arpeggio played is G-G-B-E = Em/G = chord ii.
baroque and classical compositions tend not to move up or down by one chord as it can cause parallel fifths and octaves.
ii-V-I is popular as ii is the dominant of V and the first inversion makes the bass line run smoothly.
defensive much? ;):P
lavraiemusicienne 3 years ago
Nice answer and defense, but you're still wrong :D But yeah I dont want to be an asshole so I'll stop talking about this. :)
mctipi 3 years ago
i don't want to be an answer but you're not getting the last word. if my answer and defense are nice (and right), how can i still be wrong?
:P
lavraiemusicienne 3 years ago
the second last one is Em7/G or IIb in the original.
