^Right, along with everyone else that chimed in with similar thoughts. Because when U2 used keyboards on The Unforgettable Fire they didn't sound anything like with what S. Palace used a year or so later with that song. Larry Mullen Jr. also had a different drumming approach (which I think the S. Palace guy overdid it a little with the rolls over and over but I'll also admit that was part of one of the trademark parts of the song). I can't say for sure since I don't understand Spanish but I don't think the content on the S. Stereo album was very heavy (btw, on a side note, if you want to confuse a Spanish-speaking person, play them that album! I've played it for two people that speak it [one of which was my sister who teaches Spanish at a college] and they were confused. S. Stereo is from South America, so I assume it's a different dialect down there than with traditional Spanish); Big Country did songs about villages being burned, possibly a creepy secret society ("Pharrohman", the closer on their debut, mention faces "where the sun has never shown" and "a sacrifice begins"), lost patrols and the closer on their second album was about abuse. I would say I don't recall B. Country using keyboards but even if they did (I had five of their cds at one point but I still have four of them to this day) I think S. Stereo used a Hammond organ in their song (although I could be wrong) so it wouldn't sound the same as a keyboard. That song was also the hardest rocking on that album; B. Country's sound was mostly fairly heavy rock on their first three albums. S. Stereo's opening also used the rare 5/8 time signature, something that B. Country never used. So even though the basic sound is familiar there's still not a lot of similarities.

It’s nice to see them paying homage while doing their own thing. Right, because if you don't do enough of your "own thing" you might pay the price for it! You don't want to wind up like someone such as Exhorder, who were criticized for patterning their sound WAY too much like Metallica (like how K. Come were with Zeppelin) to the point when they brought a demo to their record company for their third album, the execs stated it was "too much of the same", refused to fund the album and dropped them from the label. Exhorder broke up afterwards and it took many years before they finally recorded a third album. |

I'm not familiar with the song where the below was supposed to have been pretty seriously ripped off, I just thought "that sounds like Prince" when the high notes are sung  I remember being VERY bewildered when this song was released, saying it sounded like the Huey Lewis song. But if you listen to the guitar part at :12 and the H. Lewis part right off the bat it's pretty much the exact same riff indeed. |

Something reminded me of The Darkness the other day. They sounded a lot like Queen!
And there's nothing like an absurd music video where the subject matter has nothing to do whatsoever with the visuals!
