Rabs 1,372 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I heard them talking on the radio about the whole Stairway debate... And talking about other songs that could be effected by the result of this case.. They mentioned this one and, lol, I never even noticed before and its so obvious :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdSqpT6gfDU What other songs do you know of sound the same of have a ripped of riff...

sparquelito 714 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I always found the main groove to Robbie Dupree's Steal Away to be nearly identical to that of What A Fool Believes, by the Doobie Brothers. The two songs do not share a similar melody in the lyrics, not at all. But the drum beat and keyboard grooves are very, very similar! <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites

merciful-evans 988 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I cant see what Rabs has inserted because its not displaying on my PC. So hopefully its not these: Moon Shadow - Cat Stevens Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield Its as if Oldfield rewrote his song with the subliminal memory of the Stevens song. Similar title, similar melody. I'm surprised there was no legal copyright claim arose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pippy 1,551 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 As far as 'Taxman' and 'Start' are concerned there actually WAS a bit of a hoo-haa about it at the time of the Jam release but AFAIK nothing more was said. Going back to 'Stairway...' for a bit, try playing the opening arpeggio section - assuming you might know it - along with this one (I think this is in b-maj - I don't have a guitar to hand) from 1974... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXDf9UwHGF4 Pip.

C-RAM 19 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Joe Walsh's 'Rocky Mountain Way' Steve Miller's 'The Stake' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karloff 528 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Joe Walsh's 'Rocky Mountain Way' Steve Miller's 'The Stake' Yep... and Miller's jet Airliner, borrow's Cream's Crossroads riff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired 976 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I've heard some but my mind is blank right now. All I can think of is Beach Boys "California Girls" and David Lee Roth "California Girls" Lol. They sound awfull similar, just joking guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last track on the EC album "Another Ticket" is called "I Can't Stand It" and uses exactly the same chord sequence throughout as Steve Winwood's "Night Train" off "Arc Of A Diver"; the melody has some similarities too....Clapton always said Winwood was a big inspiration!

jaxson50 645 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 George wrote this song... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OgkjcW0g4 He credited this as the inspiration for the tune, he watched the show while in LA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pippy 1,551 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 ....Clapton always said Winwood was a big inspiration!.... They were, of course, together in Blind Faith and there are some really good tracks there. Pity it was such a short-live project. Pip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
