"No?" as in it's painfully obvious that all of these bands are easily distinguished from one another, making them seem out of place in this thread.

Ok, so we agree.

I'm just saying, why listen to GnR or Aerosmith (except maybe their first album) when you can listen to Led Zep?

because they all sound different...

led zeppelin not only had a different groove and riffs, but they also dabbled in folk, country and blues...whether aerosmith also has the bluesy character (although zeppelin has more of a deep delta blues and aerosmith are more like chicago electric blues) but has more roots in glam rock and funk than zeppelin and guns have the punk shit going that separate them from anyone before them...not to mention aerosmith borrows more from the dolls and the stones and guns has more elements from the faces and early van halen to their sound.

Do you generally give random answers to specific questions? I've asked specifically if you know any bands that are an almost precise copy of another band, and not your opinions on Aerosmith etc.

SM said in the Slanted and Enchanted Deluxe book that that album spawned a thousand weezers, one of which was actually Weezer.

the fall= the monks
pavement=the fall
the strokes=pavement
everone in the last 5 yeas= the strokes

"no one ever made a living by simply ripping off mark e smith"- s.malkmus circa 1995

cooper temple clause= whatever band theyre teeshirt says at the time

dinosaur jr are a total dinosaur rip off band. i mean beyond sounds exactly like bug!!!! they even ripp off the band name.......... and they are a 3 piece... and the drummer wears glasses, and the lead singer is a lanky stoner..... bastards!

I don't think that everyone sounded like The Strokes in the past few years. Also, Pavement have some Fallish sounding songs, but i'd hardly call them a carbon copy of them. I meant bands that would really fool you into thinking that you're listening to another better established band and not musicians that are heavily influenced by other musicians.

relative ash were a deftones ripoff band; one of their songs is the note sequence to nosebleed backwards.

Yeah I wouldn't say Pavement were like the Fall. Or copies or anything. Fallesqueish i'd say.

Jet - 70s 80s rock bands

Nickelback - King Buzzo's most recent shit in his pants

Fudge Tunnel were a little too much like Godflesh for comfort. Mind you, I did like their cover of "Sunshine Of Your Love".

i retract this commment, now loving the horrors after they put my band in their myspace 'top friends', any lesser act on my behalf would destroy the unwritten rules of 'da biz',

thanks

No that I think about it, we are missing the most obvious ripoff band in the world.








Creed=Pearl Jam

im not saying that pavement toally ripped off th fall, im not belittling the love i have for pavement or the fall.. all im saying is listen to new face in hell and then conduit for sale.... thats all...

Jet has made millions being a cover band.
