  • LISTEN: They Reckon Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ Was Stolen From This Band

    Jeepers, as if Robin Thicke and ‘Blurred Lines’ wasn’t bad enough, we now have to possibly deal with the fact that Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ might be plagiarised.

    True story.

    James Reyne , the frontman of Australian band ‘Australian Crawl’ has “highlighted the similarities between his band’s ‘Unpublished Critics’ and the huge worldwide hit” after someone mentioned the similarities on Australian blog Max TV.

    [‘Unpublished Critics’ has] the same chugging chord progression, a similarly-sweeping lead break, the verse melody, and the elongated one-syllable vocal in the chorus.

    The song featured on the band’s album ‘Sirocco’, which released in 1981 on Geffen Records. It was a long six years later that Guns N’ Roses released ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, also with Geffen Records.

    James Reyne has reportedly said that he “is not about to take on the might of the Guns N’ Roses lawyers” but that the idea of Guns N’ Roses hearing the song first “is not inconceivable”.

    We’ve very nicely given you both videos, so you can make up your own mind. Perhaps turn it into an office debate. No one needs to be working on a Thursday morning. It’s absurd.

    The first video is Australian Crawl performing ‘Unpublished Critics’, and I should not need to explain the second one…
