That's unbelievable! Good example mate.

The great white intro was also a bit cheeky.

I can't watch the videos, so don't know if these have already been mentioned ...

 

Andy Taylor's 'Take It Easy' and Thunder's 'Dirty Love' (didn't Mr. Taylor produce 'Backstreet Symphony'? ;))

Are we sure Whitesnake didn't take inspiration from the original?

It's a bit blurry, but i think the date says 1991, so i don't think so.

The Coldplay one is fairly recent. From memory i think joe may have

Taken legal action on that one.

I'm sure i can remember Chris Martin making a publc statement about it.

I hadn't heard the Slade one before, but bloody hell it's almost identical.

The dates would suggest that Whitesnake was first.

Whoever was first must have been pretty pissed when they heard the other one.

I'll never doubt you again Karpet.6

So, the Lion version is actually fairly true to the original, aside from the obvious modern (at that time) sound. And it really only sounds like the 1989 version of "Fool for Your Lovin'." It doesn't sound much like the 1980 version. Also, the original Slade song doesn't sound a whole lot like the original Whitesnake song. If any of that makes sense.

 

I think it's all coincidence.

 

Oh, and as a sidenote, I love Slade, and "Lock Up Your Daughters." So it's all win/win/win as far as I'm concerned.

    • New album out September 20th through Frontiers.
    • I agree. Ultimately, I think bands become sort of what they "really" want to become and move toward the "mean" so to speak.  Leppard always said that they wanted to be like Queen in that they weren't constrained by having to make certain types of songs.  It was probably that desire to go outside the box that allowed Pyromania and Hysteria to happen in the first place.   And it's probably what's caused them to jump around with different style songs throughout the years.  I think it would've happened that way regardless.   Who knows though.  Maybe Steve would've influenced things a little bit as his Led Zep and Jimmy Page influences might've trickled in more.  And who knows what could've happened if Mutt stuck around for a couple more albums too....he was probably the most important piece in the puzzle.  They were already changing lanes though even with Steve and Mutt in the fold.  I think they've still shown they're capable of doing more classic sounding stuff if they want to with songs like Promises, Paper Sun, Dangerous, Take What You Want, etc being a few examples.    Either way, I'm just happy they've kept it going for nearly 50 years.  It has to be tough staying inspired and coming up with new song ideas for that long so that's kind of why I think the course they took would've naturally happened either way.  
    • What are the chances...no sooner than I got these from the band that Eonian annouce that they'll be issuing them  https://www.eonianrecords.com/ Their new single - Out Of Touch https://wantedbandofficial.bandcamp.com/track/out-of-touch
    • Through the Eyes of World - Monster
    • Brother Sun and Sister Moon - Street Talk
    • He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother-The Hollies
    • Eyes of the World-Tony MacAlpine
    • The funny thing is  I saw someone comment on the video that they have not sounded the same since Steve died. Personally I think that is bullshit. The band has recorded a few albums that have that Pyromania/Hysteria sound, including Adrenalize, Euphoria and the self titled album without being total copies, but even if you think about it, the band never sounded the same when Steve was alive either. Pyromania was a total departure from the sound of the first two albums, and Hysteria took the sound of Pyromania and expanded on it even more. Obviously Ricks accident played a huge part in the sound change for Hysteria, but to try to claim that everything about the early material is down to Steve is kinda weird.
    • yup. just glad I bought it when it first released
