ForcedToRegister Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Obviously this "Better" comparison is ridiculous, but it is incredibly hard to deny that GNR didn't rip off a German electronic artist for a few sounds on "Riad N' the Bedouins". Irvin Azoff claimed that the sounds were legally obtained by a member of the album's production team so we don't really know if Axl and his fellow composers were aware where the original sounds came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn604M1IfDk&ab_channel=ifelloffmybike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm39G26PGAo&ab_channel=Ricko98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with Aussie bands and GN'R rip-off allegations? Was it an Aussie band who said they wrote the chords to Don't Cry as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS So, are we actually talking about the beginning of the song, and not so much the lyrics? The intro to the chorus does sound very similar to this! But I wouldn't quite call it copyright infringement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Again, you guys aren't hearing Axl's version in the chorus? Exact match,imo. And Axl's so arrogant he doesn't even change the name. He underestimated my ability to seek out new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Was this some sort of a troll so we'd have to listen to that Inxs-U2/80s rock hybrid shite? Did it sound like better? No even a little bit. Not one obvious similarity, besides the song title and a obvious lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm not sure about the song... but Axl surely stole their piano player... he looks like he belongs in that band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
