Black Sabbath Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I mean other than the chorus part "You know that I know better", and that's an extremely big grasp for straws, I'd have to say "No, not even remotely". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundOfAGun Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If by rip off, you mean write a completely different song that shares a title with this one then yes, yes he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes, he did. And Yesterdays is a blatant rip-off from the Beatles' Yesterday. Don't let that 's' in the end mislead you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurimor Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 They said you'd never get anywhere, Well they don't care and it's just not fair That you know, and I know better. They said you'd never get anywhere, Well they don't care and it's just not fair That you know, and I know better. (Yes I do) No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better Not even with a lot of good will. Completely different lyrics, different melody.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) 4 hours ago, Wagszilla said: No but he and Bucket did bite pretty hard from "Archives of Pain" on Shackler's. I don't think they bit hard, only mildly chewed a little. I can see why the verse riff sounds familiar because of the progression, but Bucket did already use an almost exact rhythm pattern and similar progression to Shackler's verse riff on Praxis' song Metamatic, which happened to be released the same month 2 weeks before "the Holy Bible" album.

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It was an Aussie band they were accused of ripping off a year or so ago over some AFD chords as well. What's up with Aussie bands and GN'R rip-off allegations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 There's that Who song called You Better You Bet. I always thought that it had a similar circular lyric. Mixed with Head like a Hole/SCOM. The thing is "I shoulda known better" is well used phrase. There was a time is too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR 1991 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Wagszilla said: I know you know you know better You know I know you know better Now you know me better Who remembers the first leak of Better in 2006 when the second chorus had these lyrics instead of what we got on the album? That demo slayed imo. I definitely prefer it to the album version. On topic, no it sounds nothing like "Better" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Manic Street Preachers would be ecstatic to have Axl rip them off. They're among GNR's biggest fans, had Duff play on one of their tracks and the guitar sound is largely in debt to Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
