Red Hot Chili Peppers may get sued by Tom Petty

[ssricky]

theres really no point in him sueing so many artists use similar beats/riffs etc.. in their songs but dont sue each other artists steal other artists tunes and attempt to make them better its part of the buisness

The first minute sounds exactly like a slower Dani California with different lyrics.

You're no Angel by Saosin sounds alot like Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana so like alot of bands are influenced by their idols or whatever. I'm talking crap.

Well Nirvana stole many things. Kurt admitted to stealling the riffs of SLTS from "More than a feeling" by Boston. Also Come As You Are was stolen from a band called Killing Joke.

I really doubt Tom Petty will sue. I knew I heard that riff from Dani California somewhere and then I realized where when a live band here in town did a Last Dance cover a couple of weeks ago. None the less, good to see that I wasn't the only one that caught it.

A lot of bands use other people's riffs as a sort of tribute cause it's like "we like this band, if you like us go listen to them too." And then there's the bands that use other people's riffs because they're plain uncreative.

AND HOLY BULLCRAP! SOUNDS LIKE IT SOOOO MUCH! Thats so unlike Red Hot Chilli Peppers to nick chords. As much as I love Red Hot Chilli Peppers this is just like unbelieveable. Meh, I'll get over it.
