Anyone recognizes the similarities of ‘One of these Nights’ by the Eagles and ‘Stop Dragging my heart around’ by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty?

You can pick out phrases and guitar lines from multiple Alice in Chains songs in Godsmack tunes. Which I don’t imagine is a coincidence since “Godsmack” was the name of an AIC song.

Sorry, I meant Come As You Are.

Also, Bon Jovi are terrible at ripping off Alice Cooper, with “You give Love a Bad Name” sounding just like Alice’s “Bed of Nails”, while “Livin’ on a prayer” is taken from “House of Fire”. Give them a listen next to each other! Bon Jovi have always claimed to be influenced by the great man, and I believe he used them as backing vocals at one point…

Hi there!Great page, really enjoyed it. I see you’ve already got Smells Like Teen Spirit, but have you compared it to “Eighties” by Killing Joke? Nirvana certainly did, and, I think, lost the court case (but don’t take my word for it)

AND

Metallica – ENter Sandman AND Megadeth – Go To Hell have similarities!
