Listen and RAGE
 
You won't believe this:
Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons

Perhaps SY could pull out some bucks from suing them :D

uhler 01.05.2009 04:30 PM

i refuse to watch it, but what's going on?

Thin_icE 01.05.2009 04:38 PM

Well, it's not THAT bad. Give it a try :)

Rob Instigator 01.05.2009 04:42 PM

it is straight up sonic
what song though? shit. on the tip of my tongue. it is a thurston song...

Thin_icE 01.05.2009 04:49 PM

Unwind :P

Rob Instigator 01.05.2009 05:00 PM

yep!

RanaldoNecro 01.05.2009 09:45 PM

Not that obvious. Some of these things can be unconcious...

GeneticKiss 01.05.2009 09:50 PM

It does sound a bit like "Unwind", but not enough to be copyright infringement.

Unwind goes up in the second half of the verse, whereas Blame It On The Tetons goes down.

deflinus 01.05.2009 09:55 PM

old news. i caught this a long time ago. im better than all of you

ZEROpumpkins 01.05.2009 10:03 PM

What The Fuck!?!
Rage!

SonicBebs 01.06.2009 04:14 AM

thats nothing. Do you believe in Rapture copies the exact same riff as Holiday by The Happy Mondays

rage at that

GrungeMonkey 01.06.2009 07:37 AM

it is ridiculously similar though.

Rob Instigator 01.06.2009 10:30 AM

riDONKulously similar.

atsonicpark 01.06.2009 10:50 AM

Wow, that song is reeeeeeeeally bad.

I only see the faintest of similarities.

I hope this doesn't turn into the "U2 ripped off one part of a chord sequence in 'dirty boots' for one of their verses" thread.

Thin_icE 01.06.2009 11:30 AM

Whoa, I just pointed that out of fun. Of course many of these things happen unconsciously, or else the music business would be overfilled with lawsuits from these kind of things.

barnaclelapse 01.06.2009 12:35 PM

I don't think it's that bad of a song.

(Shrugs and waits for the rocks to come a-sailing towards his giant skull).

Pax Americana 01.06.2009 07:58 PM

Meh, I don't think it sounds all that similar.

Furthermore, who cares? There are a lot of songs the sound kinda similar to each other.

ZEROpumpkins 01.06.2009 08:10 PM

How can you guys think it's not similar??

RanaldoNecro 01.06.2009 09:00 PM

Becuz is a slowed version of "Because the Night"

o'connor 01.06.2009 09:49 PM

all my songs are rip-off's of other artists songs.

Because it doesn't sound that close. And trust me, I'd be the first to jump on Modest Mouse as unoriginal, shitty awful musicians. But really, you have to really stretch your imagination to say it sounds "similiar". Fleeting and distant similarities, yes, but it's certainly not a ripoff.

GravitySlips 01.06.2009 09:57 PM

I've noticed this in the past as well, to my ears it sounds VERY similar.
not that I care much, I don't really like either song.

atsonicpark 01.06.2009 09:57 PM

Shrug.

GravitySlips 01.06.2009 09:58 PM

yes

prolly hence the name. SY are in the habit of giving their songs working titles that reference what the song sounds like, or is reminiscent of in terms of influences. in this case the working title likely stuck.

✌➬ 01.06.2009 10:42 PM

It sounds similar but oh well.

RanaldoNecro 01.06.2009 10:58 PM

Don't Look Back in Anger is a ripoff...this is approx...

Plus SY use such obscure setups even them probably couldn't replicate them again...

Unwind has a unique sound

GeneticKiss 01.07.2009 12:09 AM

This is actually very old news.

Good News For People Who Like Bad News came out, when, 2004? Washing Machine came out in 1995, 9 years even before that...

And you guys are just getting upset about this now?

Hehe, Oasis have a bad record of ripping off other artists.

Death & the Maiden 01.07.2009 02:05 AM

Doesn't really matter.

dionysusundone 01.07.2009 03:14 AM

I'm listening but I'm not raging.

SonicBebs 01.07.2009 04:01 AM

this post is a rip off of another post

your reply is a rip off of another reply on the same riff off thread

atsonicpark 01.07.2009 05:11 AM

this could have went in the 'songs that remind you of other songs' thread.

Rob Instigator 01.07.2009 10:47 AM

sounds very much like it. I am angry now

clear as crystal to my ears (you would have to be deaf not to notice it)

not so much. a note's just a note. you can play it thru a marshall, a mesa, a fender or a yamaha, but it would still sound just the same note.

Oh yeah! They are similar.

GeneticKiss 01.09.2009 05:12 PM

I wonder if it's meant to be intentional on some level..."Because The Night"/"Becuz"

Sorta like Drunken Butterfly's original demo was called "Barracuda" since the lyrics were inspired by Heart...

pbradley 01.09.2009 06:37 PM

All of you are ripping off my words that I use. Get your own.
