EliasMooseblaster Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I know it's very unlikely that I'm the first person to spot this, but has anyone else noticed the uncanny similarity between Flea's famous opening riff to the Chilli Peppers' [i]Around the World:[/i] [i]http://youtu.be/wKe-oqJVgZI[/i] and the main guitar hook from Budgie's [i]Breadfan:[/i] http://youtu.be/s3-l_T6AuNk It's not just me, is it?

hubrad Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Pretty bog standard blues-rock kinda riff, really. I'd be surprised if it wasn't already in use before Budgie as well. It's all about context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah it's similar but different enough to be ok I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Descending blues scale. I'm not sure that's a copyrightable thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You might enjoy this website then. It lists 2 songs that sound like eachother. And its got quite a few there too http://www.soundsjustlike.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think both are low-quality enough to not really warrant a court case. No 'artist' has been slighted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still you are never too old to learn eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I know that I've come up with basslines only to discover, at a later date, that it was based on something I'd half heard and forgotten years before - after all, how many of us bother remembering rubbish basslines?

yorks5stringer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If Flea copied one of my bass lines, I'd be sick as a [s]parrot [/s]Budgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
