Title: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: LIGuns on August 31, 2013, 09:30:31 PM For a bit of GN'R influence check out Black Sabbath's 1983 obscurity Zero to Hero.
Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: IzzyDutch on September 01, 2013, 02:52:01 AM Ah yeah.. Paradise City, I stumbled on this a few weeks ago aswell, showed some other examples aswell like the chorus coming from a Hanoi Rocks song
I think Slash had this riff subconciously in his mind somewhere and eventually the PC riff came out 8) Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar?

Never thought about that, but they are sound kinda similar. Cool "fun fact". I don't think it's negative that bands borrow riffs of eachother. Andy mccoy is known for that himself:) But isn't Duff the one who came up with the chorus riff on PC? I believe Izzy and Axl were the two most influenced by Hanoi, so it may be coincident?

^ Song info But Zero To Hero sounds more of an influence on Paradise City then Lost In The City in my opinion.. Lost In The City is a pretty far stretched, sounds more like co?ncidence. Either way I doubt Paradise City (or any other GN'R songs) have parts that were consciously ripped from other songs. Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: One.In.A.Million on September 01, 2013, 10:53:28 AM Also check out Hanoi Rocks Cheyenne, that's Don't Cry right there. But as always Guns took that whole thing to another level, but still cool none the less. 8)

Post by: westcoast_junkie on September 01, 2013, 03:17:00 PM Either way I doubt Paradise City (or any other GN'R songs) have parts that were consciously ripped from other songs. Me too. But it's unavoidable in the length that one can find similarities between songs in the same genre. Also check out Hanoi Rocks Cheyenne, that's Don't Cry right there. But as always Guns took that whole thing to another level, but still cool none the less. 8) The cheyenne intro has the same chords indeed. But I don't believe that's been done with purpuse either... Anyway, fun to see how much theese bands have in common👍 Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar?

Looks like the Cheyenne was definetly the inspiration for Don't Cry... funny cause besides the obvious chords and note patterns the hiss at 0:29 and that bending note at 0:33 also reminds me immediately of similar sounds in Don't Cry. Funny to hear this :D Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: LIGuns on September 01, 2013, 07:18:53 PM Hanoia Rocks-Underwater World..
Welcome to the ocean / Welcome to the sea, yeah / Welcome to the jungle / Deep inside of me, yeah / Sink or swim, you dive right in / And you know this ain't no ...

Maybe you're right oneinamillion.

I always thought the beginning of "It's So Easy" sounds like "Liar" by Sex Pistols. Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: IzzyDutch on September 03, 2013, 12:29:54 AM Cool topic. I always thought the beginning of "It's So Easy" sounds like "Liar" by Sex Pistols. Yeah! And Sucker Train Blues intro a bit Like Axl mentioned, Dust N' Bones reminded him of Paul Revere's Cherokee People.. It's not so really the notes, but the rhythm does look like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoRa-S8mckI A bit off-topic, but listen to Loaded's No Shame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hwlw1F8cy4 And then The Bravery's Time Won't Let Me Go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spKOib_D5YY There's a also a song out there which sounds almost exactly, note for note, like VR's Dirty Thing.. VR even got suited for it (and lost because the other song was recorded a few years earlier). Appearantly that guy from Buckcherry wrote the song for VR, but got inspired by that other band for it. Title: Re: Zero to Hero sound familiar? Post by: One.In.A.Million on September 03, 2013, 03:42:06 AM I'm sure I heard somewhere that VR had to pay royalties to the band who they ripped "Dirty Little Thing" off. Something like how they had no choice as it was more than coincidence it was similar, as they also copied the drum fill as well?... sure I heard that.
