@davidhartley94: The greatest songwriting theft of all time #music #musicproduction #musichistory

Christopher Roberts :

This is crazy. Bittersweet Symphony is probably one of the best songs ever written—and sounds nothing like the Stones song

Queen Of Revelations :

It's sad how it's all about money.

Young CEo :

Sampling done right isent theft

lorelai098 :

That first bit sounded like Futurama

Saber :

Those vocal melodies sound nothing unlike lol

nenoriugrybu :

huh it's weird since in lithuania this melody is known as a folk song "bitute pilkoji" or a dance "malūnėlis". I was always thrown off hearing it in bittersweet symphony

Homage. Not theft. Made the Stones look very small.

Boo :

Glad they got the credit in the end, it's a 1000x time better than the last time.

Camden Forster :

no do queens under pressure. with vanilla ice stealing that one

L :

Screams of a scrappy 1-0 win over Moldova with a Wayne Rooney screamer

monosylabically :

Nah the best music theft is if you look into the deep history of Eric Prydz’s Call on Me

Noel Douglas :

How many times can the same story be told?

yosamite sam :

klein was a nasty character and to this day, the rolling stones still don't own the catalogue from their early releases.

Pete Codes :

i didn't know the Stones gave the credit back - that's something!

Will Mac :

The guy realized it was going to big and then pulled the rug from under them. If The Verve didn’t have the buzz, the old geezer probably wouldn’t have cared.

User123456789 :

This is not true. They were not sued because the owner claimed they copied the vocal melody. They got permission to use that now famous 12 note sample, but were sued because they overused it throughout the song by looping it and making it the backbone of the song.

The real bob dylan :

“Stole the vocal melody” and it’s just them singing in key

LMC🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

Joe Satriani sued Coldplay in 2008 over Viva La Vida claiming it sounded like his If I Could Fly and listening to them both there’s only a section in If I Could Fly that I’m guess he sued for that sounds likes Viva La Vida

pamelaewen667 :

🇨🇦 I LOVE THIS SONG!!! and I was absolutely distressed to hear that they were sued and I’m absolutely over the moon to hear that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards did the right thing. How wonderful of them

Haskmort :

Rolling Stones "borrowed" the lyrics from The Staple singers - This may be the last time (1961) which makes the law suit even worse. culture always builds on the past (reference: Rip a Remix manifesto)

neitherEleanor ⚧🐈‍⬛ :

capitalism ruins art

EVLM :

it's the same chords so a melody made with chord tones will sound similar most of the time

user1661024927837 :

Funny how no one mentions the staple singers when it comes to this.

LePeel :

There is zero similarity between the vocals
