People are always so shocked that more than one song can use the same eight notes. :P

Megaman, released 1987.

Rem recorded the song in 1983 but it was released in a best-of much later on.

No one stole anything.

Listen to Simple Plan's Can't Keep My Hands Off You... It's nearly the same xD

[Mmogush]

Seriously? It's not even the same notes. It's comparable to the Journey song, but not this one.

@twosixthree yes, Rock n Roll:Rockman and roll, Blues(protoman) Treble(sound in amplifiers) bass(bass guitar or another sound of amplifier) Beat(the beat of the music) Duo(a band of two personel are called a duo) and many more

@RobsEpicFret also that the fact he is called rockman in japan plus his sisters name is roll so megaman/rockman+roll= rock n roll

[RobsEpicFret]

the reason megaman has alot of music similar to rock songs is probably because the creator or the composers were fans nothing more stop saying the word steal

What's the REM song?

[vaibanez17]

I'm inclined to believe they lifted this song over Journey. Yes the Journey song is exactly the same, but way slower, while this is almost identical speed to the Mega Man song. The obscurity of this song would help them "get away with it" too at the time.

REM first performed this song in April of 1980, 2 years before Journey's "Faithfully". However, the odds that Journey heard it before writing Faithfully is slim to none so no one stole anything.

@1devo6587 Who the hell would use Ron Artest's "My World" album in a video game?

@Juanoob Not to mention the fact Journey's song also sounds like this
