I didn't think much of them but then I watched them perform live on Much music and they were actually pretty good. there's nothig wrong with likeing what you like. Why so many people have to look down on others for haveing a difference in taste is beyond me.

I've heard the song many times and never picked up on that.  I can see similarities, but I would never confuse the two.  The guitar parts are as much of the intro to "Brownstone" as the drums, in my opinion, and make it quite easy to tell it from another song...but that's jus me.    :beer:

I youtubed the song, yeah it's kinda close, I wouldn't say they ripped it off though.  The actual guitar sounds  like a U2 riff, can't think of the song though.

Now that you mention it, I think GnR ripped off the intro of Brownstone .  They ripped it off of that Bow wow Wow song I Want Candy.

I bet you you're thinking off Untill the End of the World off Achtung Baby. I could totally hear that as well as the Brownstone comparison, but it's not enough to think they did either on purpose. just coincidence in my mind.

Was watching Tenacious D DVD last night fort he first time in ages, from the Brixton Academy in London.
In Kyle's solo, Jack Black runs in and starts singing Mr Brownstone over the top of it. Quite cool!

I've seen that  :) 

All American Rejects are garbage.   They dont make bands like GNR anymore.

This drum riff has been used in many songs, the first i think was the rolling stones, but i cannot remember the song. (its an old one)

"I Need You Baby (Mona)"?
Also YCBM intro is "ripped" from Led Zeppelins "Moby Dick" (3:05)

Actually I believe GN'R used to refer to it as a Bo Diddely drum beat.

Exactly.. Bo Diddley's trademark is the drums which you hear on Brownstone. Izzy has actually said in an interview that he learned alot from Bo Diddley, not guitar wise but beat wise.

"Not Fade Away" is originally by Diddley and covered by The Stones. Also on the Stones' "Please Go Home" (which Izzy covered on On Down The Road) there's the same beat used.

I can't believe Led Zep ripped off that Rocket Queen riff from GNR, how could they.? They're lucky they did cuz if they' didn't they'd suck.

And as far as those rejects, I thought of 'I want candy' not brownstone.? But hey its similar like twins.? That video is the most annoying video in the fucking world, in fact if it wasn't for that terrible video of that ugly dude I might actually say the song aint terrible.?

They didn't.
GNR were who ripped off Led Zeppelin's Riff.

I always thought this as well.

I thought it was meant be ironic, in that they wanted heroin, which was their "candy".

Here's "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow -

Which riff from Rocket Queen is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin?  I never picked up on that one.

Or are you guys just joking?  haha

Listen to "Sweet Home Suburbia" by Hanoi Rocks and I think you will hear where GnR got their inspiration for the song

I think that this generation of artist have copied or shall I say somehow incorporated music from the 80's and the 90's into their own music, and movie producers have probably remade every movie possible, it is almost if none of them have a mind of their own!!  Not to come across a bitchy or unappreciative of what is out here right now, but truley it is as if no one out there has any of there own creativity, anyone agree?
