Members RadioSilence Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 like, the verse in Memories is exactly the same as Ash's Jesus Says. and it's not like they don't know who Ash are either and it's accidental; they toured together in '96 (i think) and Tim Wheeler appeared on The Rentals' album Seven More Minutes. let me know if i'm going mad and they're totally different [YOUTUBE]JdmsDjSpjew[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]m4STp5TC_Hc[/YOUTUBE] edit: verse, not chorus.

Members melx Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 the chorus in the ash one is the bit that goes G, E, A, D, G, E, A? I don't hear that in the Weezer 'song' the chorus goes nothing like that????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woolyh Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 you can hear similarities in tons of songs but I doubt they intentionally ripped them off ;p [YOUTUBE]fSp81g9kzu8[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]yXRQzB_NQZc[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]u7YyeO2mwX0[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wiklund87 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've heard worse..... but Ash is a really boring band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members p00n Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've heard worse..... but Ash is a really boring band... Truth. I never really got the massive appeal of Ash. Their hooks and lyrics aren't really memorable or interesting. Must've been Charlotte Hatherley. I actually quite like that new Weezer track. Sure it's not 'old Weezer' but it ain't bad.

Members Loobs Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I never saw the appeal of Ash either. I never particularly liked Tim Wheeler either. Charlotte Hatherley is fairly hot, nothing amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members houseofglass21 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Ash, no hooks and not memorable? I think we have a comedian here. And Loobs likes pretentious jazz wank so no surprise there.

Members RadioSilence Posted August 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I never saw the appeal of Ash either. I never particularly liked Tim Wheeler either. Charlotte Hatherley is fairly hot, nothing amazing. i was 15 when the first album came out and i was really into them back then so i have a lot of affection but i admit i haven't really listened to them since Free All Angels and that was, like, ten years ago. i've probably seen them live more than any band except the Super Furry Animals, but most times have been at festivals where i've gone along for old times' sake.
