Springsteen tune seems a bit Kiss(ed)

[rtbuck]

What do you think?? It's a cool song("Outlaw Pete") but especially at 1:44 into the song it sounds a bit like "I was Made For Loving You"

Ok, even as a Bruce fanatic I have to admit that is really close to Kiss. But to be fair the part in question is only a few seconds of an 8 minute song. Otherwise this track bears no resemblence. I think it's more of a reference or nod to Kiss than any blatant ripoff. I don't have to go out on a limb to know that the many Bruce-haters on the board will be bashing away that he ripped off the almighty and perfect Kiss.

All that being said, I love the track. Not many "regular" (by that I mean, not metal, not hard rock, not prog rock etc.) rockers writing epic album tracks anymore like in the 70's. This one sounds like a classic in the making from his huge body of work.

I am not a Bruce fan...but its as good as a song gets by him, IMO.
Its...not bad, and thats as good as it gets for me.

The harmonica sounds like it came from Supertramp's "School" from Crime of the Century.

At the 2:30 mark there are two notes that sound just like "Feels Like the First Time" by Foreigner...

...and there at 3:29 there is a fret that is an exact duplicate of the same fret in "Wasted Days and Wasted nights" by Freddy Fender...

Springsteen... what a rip off artist!

WOW!...

I also couldn't believe that the drummer sounded like
a guy playing the drums!...and the vocals sounded
like a guy singing a song...nevermind that the guitar
sounded pretty much like any guitar sound I heard
in all the other songs that I've ever heard...kinda like
a "twang twang twang" kinda sound!!!
Starts off sounding like an ELO track too eh?

It also had a "start" and a "finish" to it as well and clocked
in at 8:01 which is similar to some Zep tracks...

Bottom line, Springsteen used the same technology to
get this track through my speakers...PLAGIARIST!!!
Geeezus H. Cheeeerist...the man outta be shot!

That one little part consisting of a 5.8 second
sound byte did sound like KISS...it also rears it's
beautiful little head at 3:30 once again the song as well...it's obvious the man is a "double dipper"

Ahh...damn...are there no heroes left...*sigh*

Think I'll go and listen to "The Rising"...see if I can find some plagiarism
on that one...if I'm not back in 20 minutes...(because I love and need to listen to it 3 times)...that'll mean I couldn't find any...
and if I do...I wouldn't share it with ya's anyway...so there...hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks

Kim, you are my hero.

Yes, indeed it does seem to ring of "I Was Made For Lovin' You" !!! There is another video on youtube where the 2 songs overlap, it seems the entire "Outlaw Pete" has a very similar underlying melody.

Regardless, I like this song I think it is some of the best I have heard from "The Boss" in a long time, IMO.
