At first you might be like eh this is nothing but wait until the drums come in, the buildup being exactly identical is the first thing youll notice. Its like an exact copypasta of the structure of the song

But did Nirvana rip off The Damned or did they rip off Killing Joke?
>>71572456
Both ripped off KJ
>>71572456
the damned were first with their song coming out in 82 but cobain acknowledged how similar the riff was to killing joke
>>71572456
Kurt claimed he didn't realize he had ripped off anyone but who knows if that's true. It's really open to interpretation.

The Damned came before Killing Joke idiot
>>71572494
He most likely did but who cares it sounds good. There's a documentary somewhere out there where these people being interviewed mention how they run into Kris and Dave and brought the subject up and everyone laughed and kinda acknowledged it without really admitting "yes we ripped off this melody."
>>71572479
The Damned came first

Ripping off riffs and stuff doesn't bother me either. People have forgotten how much shit even The Beatles copied from early US rock and roll bands.
>>71573132
Yeah it doesn't really matter. I was kinda mind blown at first when I found out artists do this though. Here I am trying to create everything from scratch like a tool because I thought my favorites did the same.
It really made them less godlike to me and something more within my reach. I still don't ripoff other artists though because it's just become a habit not to and it's more fun creating something myself
>>71573232
I think most unashamedly do it just because they love a certain melody so much and want to play it live. Then hope the artist you ripped from doesn't sue your ass.
Like if I was ever a decent songwriter and guitarist I'd copy and somehow incorporate the intro to Voodoo Child in a heartbeat.
Am I the only one who hears it?

Also Decemberists' "Valeria Plame" apes "Hey Jude" something awful.
every shoegaze band ever has tried at one point tipping off 'only shallow'.
>>71576153
I came in just to post this. One of the most shameless, repugnant examples. And to do it to such a pure and beloved artist/song makes it so much worse. Kinda pisses me off.

lol weird, I just remembered about Starsailor a couple of nights ago randomly.
I agree w the Coldplay rip, but that first one isn't really a ripoff. Aside from a small similarity w the acoustic, it's a totally different song.

You're right not every Zeppelin song, bu here are some of the songs Zep stole from other artists:
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A folk song by Anne Bredon, this was originally credited as "traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page," then "words and music by Jimmy Page," and then, following legal action, "Bredon/Page/Plant."
"Black Mountain Side" - uncredited version of a traditional folk tune previously recorded by Bert Jansch.
"Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson).
"Communication Breakdown" - apparently derived from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."
"Custard Pie" - uncredited cover of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down," with lyrics from Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Daddy."
"Dazed And Confused" - uncredited cover of the Jake Holmes song (see The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes).
"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" - uncredited version of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down."
"How Many More Times" - Part one is an uncredited cover of the Howlin' Wolf song (available on numerous compilations). Part two is an uncredited cover of Albert King's "The Hunter."
"In My Time Of Dying" - uncredited cover of the traditional song (as heard on Bob Dylan's debut).
"The Lemon Song" - uncredited cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" - Wolf's publisher sued Zeppelin in the early 70s and settled out of court.
"Moby Dick" - written and first recorded by Sleepy John Estes under the title "The Girl I Love," and later covered by Bobby Parker.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine" - uncredited cover of the Blind Willie Johnson blues.
"Since I've Been Lovin' You" - lyrics are the same as Moby Grape's "Never," though the music isn't similar.
"Stairway To Heaven" - the main guitar line is apparently from "Taurus" by Spirit.
"White Summer" - uncredited cover of Davey Graham's "She Moved Through The Fair."
"Whole Lotta Love" - lyrics are from the Willie Dixon blues "You Need Love."

I've been through most of this list, and all of the "apparently" ones don't sound similar at all, and only a couple of the supposed straight-up covers are actually the same.

stealing would imply that the """"originals"""" aren't vastly different in comparison to the other song in nearly every single case (especially led zeppelin's case)
>b-b-b-but they clearly used parts of other music or songs
There is literally nothing wrong with this.
All musicians use things like chord progressions, scales, styles of playing, instruments, pryda snares, samples and so on that they had no hand in creating/originating.
"ripoffs" are a meme
