Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Not accusing Matt of ripping off these prog rock titans, as I would bet this is unintentional, but has anyone else ever noticed stark similarities between the melody of "Showbiz" and the Guitar soloing in Genesis' song "The Musical Box?" It always sticks out to me when I hear the Genesis song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 You're posting something about Showbiz without praising it, and is the favourite song (at the moment) of some die hard posters. Expect badness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumpypotato Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Really don't see the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Really don't see the comparison. Comparing "The Musical Box" guitar lead around 4:23 and again around 4:42 with the "controlling my feelings for too long" melody of Showbiz.

canuckmuser14 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm quite familiar with both songs (all time favourites) and this has never jumped out at me, but I can kinda see the similarities now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahMuse Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 just listened to that song and yes there's something they both have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerathios Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well those notes are within the solfège scale that you use for practicing singing so it's just as likely that they both was playing something along those lines and just did a bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
