WelcomeToTheBumble- Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I happened to listen to these two songs back to back and realized how similar they are. This may have been discussed before, but do you guys think gnr had jimi's song in mind or is it just a coincidence?I hear similarities in the opening drum beat, the opening guitar riff, the first notes from the brownstone solo and the outro guitar melody in miss lover, and the guitar rhythms overallAnd just to make it clear, Mr. Brownstone is one of my favorite songs, I'm not trying to bash it or gnr's writing abilities, I just heard this and figured it would make for good musical discussion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIs5q2rRxBQ^Hendrix ^GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketKing99 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) You're right, they are very similar... they definitely got inspiration for the intro from that song. Edited April 16, 2010 by RocketKing99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadin Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 maybe. But all I hear is "Fuckin in the bushes" by oasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I hear "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin in the drum intro, but nothing resembling "Mr. Brownstone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I disagree with the similarities. I'm not hearing them it's a cool song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprite Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Mr brownstone lyrics " I get up around 7 get outta bed around 9"Rush's working man lyrics released 10 years before " I get up at 7 yeah and I go to work at 9"just another similarity. I actually think rush was a huge influece on axl.. His early 2000's voice sounds just like rush... Edited April 16, 2010 by Sprite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Mr. Brownstone is (kind of) the greatest song of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
