Can't write a catchy tune...do what Sum 41 did...rip one off!
I always thought that the new Sum 41 song "Pieces" sounded a little too familiar. It's a chord for chord, break for break, chorus for chorus rip off of Coldplay's "The Scientist".
Check out this link to the mp3 that combines the two songs and hear for yourself.

First, That was pretty cool to hear both blended.
Second, That was pretty pathetic........but it doesn't surprise me.

I was thinking the same thing (similar songs) last night after watching Wicker Park. This is in addition to "The Bitter End" which contains several parts from Metallica songs.
I'd have to say that I still enjoy their music though.

I have heard The Jets' song "Look What You've Done" and kept wondering why it sounded kind of familar. Then I realized that an important 2 lines are directly ripped from The Beatles' "Sexy Sadie" and repeated just like in Sadie.

The first part of Sublime's "What I Got" basically swipes the melody from The Beatles' "Lady Madonna" but I doubt Brad and co. gave credit where it was due. He was too busy playing his guitar like a motherf-in riot.

hahhaha that nickelback one is so funny.....
Damn, I really liked that Sum 41 song and I thought they had matured from punk to a semi legitimate group. Well I guess I am wrong.

So many of these so-called musicians these days don't write a single note of their own music. It's possible Sum 41 has no clue about this. Hell, the two songs could have been written by the same guy for all we know. I'd be interested to see what the liner notes say for both of these songs.
