Galaga Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well, they are big fans of DM. The first time I heard LIT I thought the chord progression in the beginning sounded familiar but couldn't place it. But yeah, now that I think of it, it's quite similar to that big synth hook in Strangelove. Hmmm...:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimixxx Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 It's a little similar I guess, but there's only many sequences of notes that can be played before they start to repeat. If you looked hard enough I'd bet you could find a counterpart to most songs written these days ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Am I the only one who thinks they sound completely different? :uhoh: Or maybe I'm listening to the wrong song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat1229 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 im afraid im gonna have to say the nail is being driven in. Life in technicolor = strangelove Getting really sick of these comparisons. Everytime someone makes them I expect to hear a blantent rip off. What you have here is THREE notes at the end of a PHRASE that are the same for ONE measure. Obviously the people who make these comparisons do not play in bands or have ANY music theory what so ever so for those you who think is heres a little lesson for you: In music there are TWELVE notes to choose from. Depending on the key of the composition there is less than 12 to choose from THREE notes in sequence together and a similar synth progression for 10 seconds does NOT constitute as a rip off Take a look at clocks, you hear similar progressions EVERYWHERE. Why? because in a 4/4 time signature it is an easy/popular arrpegio to use. Please, just stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I agree, whatever similarity you hear in the descending notes is coincidental and anything but a a blatant rip-off. three common notes does not a rip-off make, and nothing else about the song sounds remotely like LIT.

Black Dog Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Kind of the same as the whole Satriani mess. You can't build a legal argument off of a few notes which sound somewhat similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have no musical ability or experience whatsoever, but would agree with Mich's statement that you can find similarities in lots of songs.

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 uhoh this sounds like it more than the viva simiaries.... Further proof that these coincidences happen all the time! In any case it doesn't take a trained ear to notice the distinct differences between the three songs and their "riffs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
