Black Sabbath- Zero the Hero

Hey, is it true that Guns N' Roses borrowed heavily from the riff to "Zero The Hero" when writing "Paradise City"?  The story I read was that Duff and Izzy were sitting around listening to that song, remarking on what a cool riff it was.  Then they started writing "Paradise City".  Hmmm...

[ClintroN]

Fuck man, are you just out ta get Guns N' Roses n' there fans

[Walk]

I have no idea. Zero the Hero is a slow, sludgy song and Paradise City is fast. Sped up, maybe ZTH does sound a little like PC.

Who cares, both songs rock.

[Izzy]

Black Sabbath- Zero the Hero

Nope

Th riff to Paradise City was written by Slash in days long before GNR appeared.

Y'all haven't even heard a proper riff:

The Darkness - Get Yer Hands Off My Woman

Have you checked AC/DC's back catalogue to make sure it wasn't in there first??! 

Interesting list, doubt anyone will be able to come up with a more 'alternative' one.  As for me, I haven't got time to weigh up a top 10, it's too fuckin hard.
