Muse copies Nirvana

noblitz · 04-09-2013, 11:23 AM

Just watching some Palladia today and I watched Nirvana at the Paramount then Muse at Rock at the Ring.

Found a shockingly similar performance of Nirvana ended their encore with "Endless Nameless" off of Nevermind and Muse finishing "Stockholm Syndrome" with some freestyling.

Both had a very similar rhythm/lead transition pattern, feedback, and randomly tuning of the E string throughout.

I doubt Muse was really trying to copy this, but it REALLY turned out similar.

What kind of prison sentence do you expect them too receive off the back of having a similar sounding song to another song in all of history? I say ride them, hard.

It's bound to happen.

What's the point? Lots of bands sound similar.

I guess I'll just start playing Smells Like Teen Spirit and call it my own then.

That's not right, I wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Well there ya go ^_^

If you don't think they were consciously ripping them off, what's the problem?

Muse is a good band and their sound doesn't sound anything like Nirvana
so just cause they sounded similar on ONE occasion it doesn't mean they're ripping them off

here's a true Nirvana rip off

There are so many songs in this world that it'd be really hard to write one without having it sound like another one. It's not a big deal.

Muse does it regularly. I'd say fifty percent of their material is borrowed. I like some Muse thought so i'm not necessarily reprimanding them for doing what everyone has done sice gregorian chant, borrow elements from others music. One strikingly similar one i noticed and have mentioned several times is the following songs.

Listen to the keyboard and melody from ABC. Then listen to this next song by Muse.

Striking resemblance or at least I think so.
