phil.i.stein Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) the other day, i was doing an improv jam with a couple of mates. we always record our ideas, and listen back to the results for ideas. listening back, i now realise that my bass-line is frighteningly close to a track from the 'war of the worlds' musical, that my dad used to play to death when i was a kid. anyone else here thought they'd made something up, only to realise their blatant plaigirism ?

BassTractor Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not physically here, but Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa and JS Bach hopefully all have realised their blatant plagiarism of my work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yep. Many years ago I came up with a bassline and the guitarist did his own part to complement it. First time we played it to someone else they said it sounded like a Lords of the New Church b-side - I mean literally a specific track (can't remember the name) rather than a condemnation of the quality of the song! On listening to said track it did sound very, very similar. I owned the single so probably played the b-side, though don't remember it making enough of an impression to make me want to play it again. The weird thing was that the guitarist hadn't even heard any LoTNC and yet his part was very close to the original as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judo Chop Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm always doing that, but I don't ever realise it until hours after I stop playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
