mrzellron Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I used search function in hopes of finding a youtube videos thread or something, but couldn't find anything, so... Anyways, today I stumbled upon Benny Benassi's song called "Spaceship" and it sounded way too familiar for me. The verse, pre-chorus, chorus, the same key, everything very familiar. So tell me - is this a rip off or am I just paranoid? *shrug* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO7mHQJsdLk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_writer Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Total rip-off. Poor Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy. Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 One of the few times one of these posts is actually correct. It sounds worryingly similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayal Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 As a wanna be musician, accusations like this worry me. Did muse copyright the A minor chord progression? the two are kinda similar but calling it a rip off is a complete exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but this is one of those situations where the two are just too alike. Its like that coldplay and joe satriani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtj39 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 doesn't sound like a rip off to me If I was listening to that song alone, I probably wouldn't be thinking "omg this sounds just like muse" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzellron Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 EDIT: It shouldn't be too hard singing TIRO to this, minus the You will be the death of me part. Try it yourself Really hard for me to believe it's a coincidence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it yourself Really hard for me to believe it's a coincidence... Yeah. It's very similar, especially when they combined both songs into one, and how in the end it said that he did a remix of TIRO in 2006. It's sad to admit it, but I think they ripped it off.

Spectrum IV Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 There is definitely a similarity, but I wouldn't say he ripped TIRO off. More likely that it's one of his favourite songs and some elements of it creeped subconsciously into his music. Also known as an influence. As a wanna be musician, accusations like this worry me.

Furygirl Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 To me, this example seems more far-fetched than most. Influence, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma-kun Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Haha, seriously? If this is a rip-off then Muse haven't been doing anything except ripping off others work ever since they made Showbiz. Most bands do get their influences from other places, and bringing that into their own music is completely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say the same thing about another song, but part of Ten Black Roses- The Rasmus, sounds a little like Showbiz. 0:07-0:40 the rhythm of the singing sounds like the main rhythm in Showbiz where he sings "Forcing our darkest souls to unfold."

I hear Muse in other songs and vice versa all the time. Last one lately was Musey goodness all over Daft Punk's Tron soundtrack. But really just posting to say I like your mashup of both songs at the end. Benassi could prolly make a decent remix for Muse in the future.

GloriousAssassin Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 There are similarities indeed.Maybe it's Muse's influence:p I don't hink it's a rip off anyway.Just yesterday a girl helped me realise that a greek kinda poppy beginning of song sounds like the begining of PiB.I don't think that artist listens to Muse.I'm trying to say that the fact that one songs sounds like another doesn't mean someone had remake it or something:stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakingOut Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tPxy11pkMA *shrug* Ive heard that before that song was produced a year earlier though. I still don't believe Muse copied that though. Songs like that are very popular in clubs,where Matt got his ideas for SMBH from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
