Franz Ferdinand vs. Finger Eleven vs. Skid Row

Tobin submitted Finger Eleven‘s 2007 track “Paralyzer” vs. Skid Row’s 1988 “Youth Gone Wild”. As soon as I heard “Paralyzer” I thought of  Franz Ferdinand‘s 2004 hit “Take Me Out”. Although I’m not totally convinced of the third Skid Row similarity I thought I would post it anyway cause this track is such a classic.

Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out" (2004)

Finger Eleven - "Paralyzer" (2007)

Skid Row - "Youth Gone Wild" (1988)

Led Zeppelin vs. Rage Against the Machine

Rage Against the Machine vs. Led Zeppelin

The main guitar riff in Rage Against the Machine‘s 1996 track “Vietnow” sounds pretty similar to Led Zeppelin‘s 1975 “Wanton Song”. They both rock hard though. Check it out:

This Red Hot Chili Peppers riff is from a Black Sabbath song

One day you might find yourself listening to Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “Give It Away” and towards the end you’ll hear Frusciante’s riff and think, “where did I hear that from before?”. Or, you might be listening to Black Sabbath’s 1971 “Sweetleaf” and go, “huh. that sounds like this one part in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song”. And then you’ll Google it. And you will have found this page. Where you can finally get some clarity. Listen below!
