Grim Jim Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) So if a band just "gives a nod" to their heroes by borrowing a riff, do they not need to credit (pay) them? Just the riff mind you. Edited August 28, 2020 by Grim Jim Moot point as Dio died 4 years prior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 That last one stunned me Tiny Tim! Even though I knew the Beatles were into Motown, and that Lennon made some (positive, but I can't remember) comment about black-girl groups. Oanyhoo, a wee aside here, if you'll excuse me. I was wondering about guitar riffs and whether Les Paul knew wtf he'd unleash? (If you think all electric guitars sound the same, switch to his Telecaster video. Though prefer the SG one myself ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young for the Stones Bonzo might watch this from the start too... why not? One purpose was to encourage listening to the songs, rather than just checking the words of the bands or titles. Will listen to later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I remembered this. Pretty sure he was sued for it as was a big thing at the time. Was found to have "subconsciously plagarised the song", but all versions on Discogs only credit Harrison (though that relies on folk editing it correctly, like Wiki). At least he didn't revert to My Lovely Horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Or you can cheat and look up a list. If I pasted any more though, I'd give the game away I just picked two from 'my' genres though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no musician and am half corned beef, so no authority. I get the common rhythm, and also that they are simple 12 bar blues progressions (I think), but the latter would capture a load of tunes. Taylor does look and act wicked though, so maybe three points of contact is plenty. Aw feck, I had to look her up to check her name as a though, and now found out she was a child actor. I hope that explains absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and the devil duly pops up later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
