Duma Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 To think that they used to be one of the most unique bands around, then by the way happened, and now this, f%&kin sell outs, most disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Ouch! I never realised how similar they sound until now... I think the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are proper fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Petty Thieves...*looks round*Did I beat Cynic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well done!Fuckin hell, thats shocking yeah!Agree about the By The Way thing though, that album was dire. Californication was a good album then... BTW.. .sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 This is complete grasping-at-straws RHCP bashing.It's a pretty standard chord progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qzdiablo Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 This is complete grasping-at-straws RHCP bashing.It's a pretty standard chord progression.yeah but what the similarities in the vocals, the tempo?the songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 aye, they should go back to ripping off parliament, that's when they were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 yeah but what the similarities in the vocals' date=' the tempo?the songs?[/quote']Thing is, it's just very very unlikely.RHCP released a double album. I can't see Frusciante kickin' back with 27 songs, having a wee listen to Tom Petty and thinking 'hmm, I'm completely out of ideas, and hell, 28's a nice even number'. Then just to be cheeky bastards, they'd decide to release it as their first single.It's more likely that it was a subconcious accident. A very expensive accident, but it was unlikely a mallicious thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Think about the amount of people that must have heard that song in its different stages. I find it hard to believe that not one person said something along the lines of "Hey guys, nice song and all, but doesn't it sound a lot like..."

Guest bluesxman Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 It does sound suspiciously similar but not an exact copy. Tom Petty isn't really the most widely heard artist to plagiarise from is he? Or maybe he's still more heard over in the US of A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he's playing shows with Pearl Jam this summer so I'd say he's well known to "alternative" artists (i use that term loosely!). Listening to the MP3 I can't help but think there's also a similarity to Blur's "Country House". I'd have to hear them together to confirm that though.

jackson Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 the tempo isnt similar at all, they have speeded up tom petty to make it fit. mary janes last dance is a slow song. tom petty is also amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 tom petty's a massively popular artist all over the world not just in the US. obviously not on the same scale as red hot chilli peppers but still hugely popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 TRHCP are just a very bad and dull version of themsleves now! Boring repetitive dirge!I have a soft spot for them like but wouldn't buy any of their material now...And to be honest Tom Petty or otherwise it's the same song they have been peddling for a few years now. They run out of ideas a while back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They run out of ideas a while back!It's hard to disagree with that assessment, to be honest. I bought the new CD (only a tenner) and wasn't particulary enamoured by it. My mate asked me what I thought and all I could say was "Too long" - each song seemed to blend into the next & nothing stood out. It's a shame - round about MOthers Milk / BSSM they were quite exciting - now they just seem like a standard rock band. And as for the title "Stadium Arcadium".... horrible!

The verses in the Streets song about going to Church or some shit like that is exact same chords as Let It Be by the Beatles. At least the rapping is different! Just depends on whether the powers at be pick up on it and then decide to sue.(which is more than likely decided by 5 grey suited men sitting round a table rather than Petty himself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
