  • They knew it was similar, Kurt was actually against releasing it as a single for that reason.  They were fans of Killing Joke, so sometimes it can be easy to subconsiously write something that sounds similar to other music you listen to, then you don't realize it until it's to late. Happens all the time.

  • @SoDamnBionic Killing Joke have released over 30 albums. Unknown maybe to you but not to others.

  • FIEND CLUB FROM THE MISFITS KINDA SOUNDS LIKE BOTH OF THESE WELL ONLY THE INTRO

  • I heard about this but didn't hear Killing Joke's song until now. They sound similar but are still different.

  • @exportpro99 lol if your right I guess killing joke would have lost to the damned as well. thats why they didn't

  • Don't you know that's what music is? A constant BITING of other groups... it's been going on since the beginning of music, there is nothing wrong with it... EVERY SINGLE ARTIST YOU LISTEN TO IS A BITER

  • Killing Joke borrowed this riff from The Damned! The song is called "Life goes on". Go check it out!

  • @TheSkunkman420 One of them? There was way more than one. Cobain slightly changed his picking pattern, but it's not just another song in the same key. This is a rip-off.

  • I'm actually a little disappointed to be seeing this video

  • I love Nirvana and "Come as you are", but they stole that riff. They changed it up a bit, but it's the same. All good though, they made a sick song outta it.

  • Nah.. That's a stolen riff right there. If it had gone to court. Nirvana would have lost that one.

  • well there's so many notes on guitar, one of them is bound to be similar
