what's this U2 ripped of SY stuff?
 

Anyone know?

u2 ripped off sy's dirty boots. case closed

so, should we start counting threads or ask chris habib to sticky this one?

I'm not a U2 fan, butwhat U2 song?

Vertigo. I could never hear it myself, mainly because Dirty Boots sounds a lot like a lot of riffs (as has been pointed out previously).

thats it!i wont sleep at night for a long,long time now.How dare they?Who do they think they are?What is this world coming to?

I vote that we sticky this thread and the "Sonic Youth in an HBSC Commercial"

Sonic Youth were in an HSBC commercial?!?1 Sellouts.

yeah, first time i hear about it

Yeah, I know. tis hard to believe.

Put it in the FAQ.

If U2 ripped-off the Youth more often then perhaps they wouldn't be so shit.

This has been talked about way too many times.

tell me about it

This site has a lot of people i do not recognize.

ive seen quite a few new usernames

I remember you porkmarras

i remember you too sellouteater.I really miss atari 2600 on this forum.A thread like this would have had serious difficulties at prolonging itself

yeah i think we all miss atari 2600

Weird... personally I don't hear it, but yesterday whilst listening to Dirty Boots my little 11 year old brother started singing Vertigo. I haven't spoken to him since. heheh.

I'm sure I've just pissed off so many people fro BUMPing this thread.

ha ha! classic, that made me laugh, your dead right nancykitten
i thought this was a load of bollox until i sat down and listened to it, its U2's vertigo and Dirty Boots

the simarlarity is there if you can hear it, but i would mean listening to a whole U2 song

cud ya be bothered?

I just did it. It was like self-mutilation without getting the attention. Yr right, It is quite similar though.

1. some people said, that this topic has been discused already... well, some of us havent been there for the whole time or from the begining, so let us talk
2. i've heard vertigo number of times, i think its one of the worst U2 songs ever, but i never noticed a similarity until you guys reminded me now... yes, there probably is a similarity, but i dont think it was in any way intentional thing "by the bad guy named bono" ... come on, i think he's quite a cool guy... at least he cares about the world we live in unlike all the other stars that just want to buy jewlery and collect ferraris and show off. i think he is the only sane religious man i have ever heard of

Their song from the itunes commercial something about "can you feel" or something sounds like a rip off of keep me hanging on to me, so it is not that suprising. Bono needs to be taken out of the Pixies doc too. If I ever met Bono, I'd spit on his face.

I don't think so
