"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" was "Lust For Life" with some minor changes (and the guitar riff sounded similar to the Stripes' "Screwdriver") And "Look What You've Done" was a complete rip-off of The Beatles "Sexy Sadie." there is this other band that is big in Aus right now called rogue traders .....every song they put out its like 'hey thats my sharona' ...'hey thats blue monday'I read where they don't 'sample' stuff (aka eminem toy soilders etc ) they just 'play' the sampled parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue traders are a pop group. The singer is an actor in Neighbours (soap T.V show). They 'sample' or play the actual riffs like my Sharona etc. ripp them off and sing poppy lyrics to them. I do'nt know how they manage to do this legally, must pay a {censored} load to the original artists. I {censored}ing hate that crap too! makes me sick.

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted July 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 Originally posted by freaksho wolfmother is definitely borrowing an old sound, there's no doubt about it. but in an age of pop bands born in corporate board rooms with simon cowell in attendance, or whatver random nu-metal or emo or indie facsimile, it's a welcome sound to me. these are desperate times. I could definitely see this band being created in a boardroom tho, I dunno... downloaded the album, and there's about three songs I dig, the rest are more or less about the same song just rehashed. bit of a let down, but those three or so songs are pretty good and an indie band can't be created in a boardroom... because if there's a boardroom, then its not indie... the big labels can emulate indie music, but really if its not a hair shy of being completely independent and diy then its just pop I can see why the ceo's are after it tho, I mean, you deliberately get to lower the budget because lo-fi quality gets more street cred, and typically the only money they ever need is for thier local thriftshop for scenester clothes and old forgotten and obscure records... none of them look like they eat either a major labels dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god, is it the Rogue Traders that use that sharona riff? Comes on the radio, and MEGA pisses me off. But still, it's funny, most Aussie's here despise them. Maybe it's cos all the guys walking around the city in Wolfmother shirts look like complete losers. Or the fact they suck. Probably 50/50. And yeah, wtf with Jet? What's with all this ripping off, it's not exactly subtle! Especially when the song becomes a "hit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's why: most bands that get popular suck ass, because the public at large is influenced by record label hype or just doesn't have good taste in music. I don't even consider Nickelback music, it's a consumer product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even consider Nickelback music, it's a consumer product. ya it just seems like it's popular to hate popular bands alot of times though. like it is shameful to enjoy the music of anybody with fans. bands should not be disliked for winding up on mtv or radio. they should be disliked because the listener doesn't prefer their music, and being popular should not automatically equate to sucking.

Members ShoNuf Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 I like Wolfmother for what they are and what they have done. If their exposure makes it possible for the countless other bands that are playing that "style" of music to be heard by a broader audience, then kudos to them. The Sword- in my car as I type, this band rules. High on Fire kick serious arse, but are not nearly as marketable as Wolfy. Sasquatch kills. The label we are on has loose ties with Small Stone, so hopefully (once our record is done) we will be able to play with a few of their artists. Also if you are looking for a Swordish band check out Saviours, they just played a leg of The Sword's tour and they rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
