Velvet Revolver Plageurism

[WeedWorm]

I was listening to music the other day, and right after i listened to Pantera's "The Art Of Shredding", I had the sudden urge to listen to Velvet Revolver's "Big Machine". I soon figured out why...the openings to the 2 songs are pretty much identical. Pantera's was made around '91, VR's in 2000 something, so looks like we have some plageurism going on here

i cut out the 2 beginnings, so you can have a listen for yourself for all you skeptics ;)

umm, they dont sound at all the same...they have the same, generic bass beat?

[WeedWorm]

yeah they do, your jus sober ;)

The bass line sounds the same, yeah, but it's not exactly the most original bass line or beat ever. I don't think that they'd need to have plagiarised it.
