Title: Song Ripoff Alert on Modern Alternative Radio!
Post by: Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks on April 07, 2011, 06:25:21 PM

Listen and compare:

In each pair, the original song is the first that came out.

"Pain" by Three Days' Grace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts6CKH7Tovs

"Been To Hell" by Hollywood Undead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXRmK_72ifA (warning, some strong language)

Also check this one out, which I considered especially egregious and shameless:

"Brick by Boring Brick" by Paramore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A63VwWz1ij0

"Sick, Sick, Sick" by Bayside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj4UEF3veYU

I'm amazed at how blatant some of these artists are. I don't understand how people can be so unafraid of lawsuits.

Is it possible their record companies are connected?

They could have asked for permission to use it.
That guy who won American Idol over the gay guy first song was taken from an Irish group.
