novapsycheI love Foo Fighters. Great band. One of many sounds upon which my dad & I agree.
However, I do not love plagiarists.
Now, if this is unthinking plagiarism, then I'm sure the band will have no problem paying the estate of Jimi Hendrix.
"But, Honestly" (from Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace) has a guitar riff that starts about 3:10 minutes into the song that completely rang a bell for me. For days I puzzled as to what song it resembled. Then I happened upon "1983 . . . (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" from Jimi's Electric Ladyland. The riff begins around 2:30 minutes.
Any other eclectic music listeners out there, compare the two pieces & tell me what you hear.
