I'm too lazy to scroll back but an obvious one to me was always `Rat Bat Blue' by Deep Purple being nicked from the Allmans' version of `One Way Out'. The time-line was in place for sure.
You know how iffy the law is....always gray..as my job used to say, worked in social security disability..it’s case by case basis.
I can't remember the song, but on one of Sting's first two solo albums, on a song that received some airplay, he flat out stole a riff from a "Benefit"-era Jethro Tull song. I noticed this long before I joined the Forum, or I would have brought it to y'alls attention, but I have no recollection of the songs now.
Kudos for using my southern phrase..y’all, my Lennonist friend. I liked both the police and Tull but never had a solo sting album. I saw the police in 81 and Tull on the seventies...in the aqualung tour I think. The police played the Exit Inn Bar in Nashville just before they hit it big...in 79 just before I moved to Nashville.
I always thought the riff from Teacher by Jethro Tull was lifted from the start of the guitar solo in Blind Faiths Presence of the Lord
Maybe a common chord progression..and forgive if I’ve already posted this, but the opening of phantom of the opera stole the Mary had a little lamb chords after the chorus.
Seems to me that in order to get to "Live Forever", Oasis had to be influenced/inspired by Catherine Wheel's "Black Metallic". Similar sounding chords, similar bass lines, similar guitar sound after the choruses.
Similar chord sequence,War-Me And Baby Brother,Killing Joke-Change,LCD Soundsystem-Im losing My Edge. https://youtu.be/HSeXkoakaLI https://youtu.be/ZUjDMdSwefk
But that's a direct reference. It was an ongoing thing for Zappa to either cover, add brief references or allusions to Louie Louie. Plus the song is literally covered on Uncle Meat.............................on an organ.
An unlikely one I discovered years ago but which never went viral (though youtube pulled down the mashup channel I used to have which contained this). Dream Theater - Beyond This Life Slipknot - Everything Ends Vocaroo | Online voice recorder
I am not a musician so am likely wrong, and granted this is more a vamp or groove, but the intro to The Police Voices Inside My Head seems pretty bang on, maybe dropping some tell-tale notes, as the outro to Sly & The Family Stone Stand starting at 2:17
someone already mentioned oasis "supersonic`s" guitar solo sounding like "my sweet lord`s" main riff. for some reason i also hear the main riff of derek and the dominoes "layla" during that solo. to me at least.
Foo Fighters threw the riff from Dio's 'Holy Diver' into the middle eight of one of their hits from around 2014... sorry, heard it on the radio a few times, never caught the title.
1. melody Milestones - Miles Davis ==> Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen 2. rhythm Wedding Song - Psychedelic Furs ==> Street Of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen 3. harmony Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen ==> Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Some of these are......"Caravaggio obviously stole that painting from Van Gogh because he used blue and yellow too."
The opening segment from 10cc’s excellent epic Feel The Benefit certainly uses Dear Prudence arpeggio figures as a template. It’s sounds like The Beatles as a prog band. One of my favorite 10cc tunes!
Bob Dylan's Soon After Midnight is Bobby Fuller's A New Shade Of Blue. Bob Dylan's False Prophet is Billy "The Kid" Emerson's If Lovin' Is Believing Bruce Springsteen's The Line is Bob Dylan's Love Minus Zero/No Limit Bruce Springsteen's Ghosts is Steve Earle's I Ain't Ever Satisfied Bruce Springsteen's Badlands is The Animals' version of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, shifted from minor to major
