OLP Songs that sound like they're aping other songs...

I love that song! And Raine would sing that song wonderfully.

Superman's Dead starts off pretty similar to Wonderwall. I don't know the fancy-pants guitar lingo, but play SD without any production and possibly lower on the fret board and it might be close enough to consider aping.

Funny you should say that, i'm listening to Wonderwall right now.
I will agree with that to an extent...but they're a bit of a different key - Superman's Dead is more of a depressed key whereas Wonderwall is more of an ... well, the word escapes me right now. But it's not as depressed, but it's not quite hopeful...I dunno.

i'm always mixed up for a split second, when i hear either the intro to Superman's Dead or Radiohead's Just. that's probably just me.

no way. the chord might be the same/similar (i can sort of hear it in my head) but the way it's played in the two different intros always gives it away.

Ok, I know nothing about music (the technical stuff) but I always wondered if you could play the guitar part from the bridge in Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" under the second verse of "Clumsy" and if anyone would notice. I like the little track Turner plays under it but I always think of "Jumper" when I hear it...

You know I haven't listened to OLP in so long I can't remember what song it is, but there is an older one that sounds exactly like Foo Fighter's February to me.

how about vampires and my hero by foo fighters....pretty similar

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 9/6/2006, 6:22 pm

Eh... not really. but then, i can hardly remember how Vampires sounds like.

Vampires= This could be love from Alkaline trio.

I've been saying that since I first heard it.
Just listen to the opening guitar parts. They are practically identical.

Ehehe, thanks. Funny story...I had to return the hat to Hot Topic so I'd have gas $ to get to the Montreal show last year.
