Andrew182 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 So i have been getting around to listening to Tom's ''Demo's, odds and ends'' album which is apparently some random shit Tom wrote and had lying around, a bit late to the game considering it came out in 2015. I turned on Golden Shower in the Golden State and sort of felt like i had heard the riff before. I thought to myself, hmm this sounds very ''Descendents like'', but i couldn't figure out what it sounded like until i finally got it some hours later... the riff is basically the same one used in All's song ''Million Bucks'' Not gonna rip on Tom too much but i mean cmon he basically stole the riff, what are you guys thoughts on this? Compare this with this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think it's unintentional, he has been listening to Descendents and All for years and he didn't even notice he was kind of ripping it off. Million Bucks is a great song though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Good catch! That is extremely similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I don't think they are similar tbh but I do get why people could think of them as similar. Sounds nowhere near as recycled as the riffs from Anthem Part 2/Everything's Magic or Snake Charmer/The Machine/Secret Crowds or Natives/Young London or his vocal melodies like Ghost on the Dance Floor/There Is or Surrender/The Adventure.

I have always thought that one is a stretch, but that’s just me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 the riff definately similiar to anthem pt 2 if you just play the riff. But the context is so different on those two songs that it doesn't sound similiar at all. quite clever actually. but if we're talking 'bout ripoffs...this shit is still hilarious to me... did he ever think he could release this as an original song? lol and yeah i know its by jose gonzalez.. but even the final wolfpack version... that synth bass is such a ripoff.. i don't care about it, but i thinks it's hilarious to think tom thought at some point, that could be a plausible version for the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I guess it's after the first two notes that makes it a bit different to me, like I said I do understand why people would find it similar. Just in my opinion, I don't think they're as close as the riffs he's recycled in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
