By Sir Paul McCartney

 

(This is actually a cover. The original is by Bo Diddley)

Spoiler

 

 

And check the intro on this one by Los Tres (I love this band btw)  

 

In the comments of McCartney's song someone wrote part of the lyrics of Amor Violento   

How haven't I posted these  

 

The Roller by Beady Eye

 

 

Sounds suspiciously similar to Instant Karma! by John Lennon

 

 

I can't believe I haven't posted the most blatant rip off of them all!

 

This is a song by Jake Holmes called Dazed And Confused.

 

 

He opened some shows for The Yardbirds during the time Jimmy Page was part of the band, and played this song. Soon after The Yardbirds started playing the song as well, I guess as a cover.

 

Soon after The Yardbirds were done and Jimmy Page formed The New Yardbirds which shortly after would change their name to Led Zeppelin and then on their debut album is the very well known Dazed and Confused CREDITED TO JIMMY PAGE  

 

(I couldn't find the studio version on youtube probably because of fucking Warner Chappell, but this is a very nice live version)

 

 

I actually think Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused is a MUCH better song than Jake Holmes' original but still is one of the ugliest rip offs considering Page took full credit for the song...

Ritchie Blackmore actually acknowledged taking "inspiration" from this song

 

 

For this one

 

^And addition to the above

 

These guys too, same as Deep Purple,  stole Summertime's riff  

 

 

A blatant rip off: 

 

An ad from a retail store here (The ad is super old but they still use the same song)

 

Exact same thing as:

 

Quite the copy-paste here from Dio 

 

 

To this song by The Who

 

^ Not the first time Ronnie James rips off The Who btw...

 

 

 

Another BLATANT rip off

 

 

 

 

Not exactly the same, but the tune is somehow similar

It's VERY similar  

So the Beach Boys copied not one but TWO Chuck Berry songs for this one:

 

 

Mainly from here

 

And the guitar intro from

 

The intros are basically the same!

 

 

 

 

these three songs sound so similar. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw this topic. 

 

 

 

 

the chorus of these two songs is also very similar.
