The perennially jovial Noel Gallagher has accused Green Day of ripping off Oasis' biggest hit, "Wonderwall." He says "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is "exactly the same arrangement." He continues by saying "They should have the decency to wait until I am dead (before releasing this). I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy." He also says of Green Day "They consider themselves to be - and I quote - 'a kick-ass rock 'n' roll band'. They could not be less kick-ass if they tried."

lol..sum1 put this up on thier journal a few days back...admittedly there R a few similarities between the two songs...check out the chord progession....but bobd has the same notes being played in a completly different style...there a lot of hammer-ons..this will make no sense to u unless u play the guitar so i shall shut up now on the note that both men are legends..but technically noel's been around longer...

Prrfft.

Noel Gallagher is only happy if he's in a fight with someone.

"She's a Rebel" and "Motivation" By Sum41 sound slightly similar.. Also, the drums for Holiday and Hitchin' A Ride sound similar too.

I heard that mix of bobd and wonderwall too, and yeah, they're similar, but it's not like they're the same song. Noel should just shut up, he's just trying to start a fight. As usual. If they do fight, I would like to see someone kick him in the balls. As you can see, i really like him. *in a sarcastic tone* I really do NOT like oasis or their music...so there. *sticks tongue out, then runs away*

What's my age again? by blink 182 has the same chords as Basket Case but nobody ever whined about that Rolling Eyes

There might be some similarities but both songs are like completely different besides that..

both share the same basic chords...but it doesn't mean they're copying them.
anyone knows about Don't Look Back In Anger and their piano intro?

Vicious.:
Well, they DO sound alike.
In fact, I've heard a version of BOBD mixed with Wonderwall, and it sounded like one song.
American Edit?
Well, when fused with those songs all of them sounded like rip offs.

Yep. And you find similarities with every song.

But half of the attention that Oasis get, is that song and the other Noel complaining about something or someone anyway..

How many of you actually know anything about music?

Em G Dsus2 Asus2

dsus2 is xx0230 and asus 2 is 002200

that is the verse part to bobd.

now play that as if you were strumming wonderwall.

same.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/o/oasis/wonderwall_crd.htm - here is a chordsheet for wonderwal. And before anybody says THEY ARE NOT THE SAME CHORDS, they are the same chords moved two keys up, the effect the capo on the second fret has.

There's a song called Boulavard of Broken Songs that is a mix of both BOBD and Wonderwall. It's an amazing song...

ANYWAY. I think that Noel Gallagher, however famous, has a few screws loose. They sound SIMILAR, sure, but NO WAY is it a rip-off.
