this is the same chord progression but not the same, I think both are great, and let it rest and enjoy the way Ian would like it , not exactly the same but heavy influenced, any one can tell.

Of course, it's a complete rip-off, because they toured together. But Ian Anderson was quite gentlemanly about it and didn't sue.

Because you are the only one who doesn't know hotel california .........

@Aqualung1989 Doesn't take much to hear the similarities. I was watching Frank Ocean's American Wedding/ Hotel Cali song that Henely is sueing over and someone made a reference to this song.

I have been playing and listening to Hotel California since 1976, and I have just listened to this for the first time and I am astounded by the similarities. It even seems to me that the famous guitar break was based on the flute solo and fills in this song.

@njrosatoii Maybe not the only one but probably one of the few :P. In my case, I listened to HC dozens of times before listening to this, and then I bought Stand Up, played it and thought "wow, this really sounds like Hotel California". Then I looked when each song was composed and I can't deny it, I lost a little bit of respect for HC. Sure, it's a very good song, but I can't help having the feeling that it's not "completely original" (I'm not saying it's the hugest rip-off ever either)
