i agree, your balls have nothing to due with these theiving thieves, no ones brought this up- but i noticed while watching the video that they stole their clothes from other bands too- how tasteless.

You are either really good at sarcasm, or really good at missing the point.   Cheesy

Just listened to the Tom Petty / Chilis comparison and yeah, they're definitely similar aren't they! Shocked

But who knows, maybe it is just by chance that they sound similar.
I really doubt the Chilis would need to steal songs from other people to make their own.

Great, now today i heard some kids around my school saying "Yeah, RHCP is okay, but they just steal things from everyone else.  Some of the guitar licks are the same as Hendrix licks" and i guess the kid doesn't really know what licks are because the only Hendrix part of any song guitarist John Frusciante stole was the first four notes of the riff of "Purple Haze" in the solo, and he did it purposely.

And if anyone really knows John Frusciante's guitar playing, he is a very original guitarist in his solo work and with RHCP.

The NY Post had this article about the song today:

http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm


I remember a case in my business law class in college about one of the Beatles (Harrison maybe?) and a song called "my sweet lord" which was very similar to another song.  The original songwriters sued and won monetary damages from the beatle.  IF petty decides to take action I'm sure he wouldn't make them pull the album, just get some extra cash.   ok  haha.  I bet nothing comes of this at all.  It does sound ripped off though.

I think this proves that they are different.

I think this whole issue will eventually blow over.

RHCP are a great band with many hits.  They have no reason to knowingly "steal" a song.

well its 100% sounds the same and it is borrowed, maybe they did it unknowingly, sometimes u write songs that u think u made but u actually heard it somwhere and it got stuck in ur head.

Even after seeing the videos, the songs are still extremely similar. The solo was different only in that Petty's was better, but that's the only huge difference.

The solo at the end of Wet Sand also sounds borrowed.  Kinda sounds like the melody in " Cat's in the cradle & the silverspoon."

I haven't taken time to read this entire thread, but I will say this.  After hearing the first link comparing the two, I was intrigued.  So I listened to Last Dance with Mary Jane in it's entirety.  At one point, my oldest daughter (who is a fan of the song Dani California) walked in and said "Oh my god, are they making fun of Dani California?  That sounds just like it."

The two songs are nearly identical.

To say that there are subtle differences, well, all I can say is "Ice Ice Baby."

I think the chords sound the same but not the way he sings the lyrics.

Let's not let Petty similarities ( ok  hihi) ruin two great songs.

I'm still milking this pun.  ok

As a musician I think it is a very similar track...

However, this doesn't mean it was "stolen" it could be co-incidental...i mean theres only so many notes out there, and theres chord patterns and shapes that are logical to leap to next when messing around and writing, so they may have coincidently both written a song that sounds substantially the same as something else.

That sounds dumb but i have done it myself. I recently wrote a song, then heard another song out some place that i SWEAR i'd never heard before and it had substantially the same riff. Maybe it just makes my songs generic Wink

Anyway...theres also "unconcious influence" like someone else said, maybe they heard it someplace and forgot, but the tune stayed in the mind and they think they wrote it know. Hell, It happened to george harrson once so say the court documents! LOL

Anyway...bottom line is, RHCP have been out there as a band for a long time, so they're clearly a talented outfit whatever the case.
