The biggest scammers

Who are the biggest thieves in the music industry? Sure, 90% of what gets produced today is just copying, but I’m talking about the really obvious ones. It just popped into my head after hearing that breakfast burrito track by Elton John. Honestly, Joan Baez should be suing him! And the worst part? Elton John acts like he's some deep, tortured artist when he’s really just ripping off everyone else—usually with a two or three-year delay.

It hit me right after listening to that breakfast burrito track by Elton John. For real, Joan Baez should be suing him! What kills me is how Elton John acts like some deep, tortured artist when he’s really just ripping people off—and he’s always two or three years behind the curve.

Elton John is the biggest fraud in the business. Don't even get me started on those pop stars from Nashville.

Bruce Springsteen

Max Martin?

Pepsi?

Just got back from the post office and spotted Hus cruising by in that massive SUV of his.

Normally, I wouldn't give a damn, but I've got zero tolerance for thieves.
Basically, if you're gonna drop one of those "deep" lyrics or some cover version, at least credit the composer.

p.s. this goes for all of them.

If my memory serves me right, Tomson swiped a few—if not more—electric guitar solos...

Hera and John Williams just can't be beat.

Especially Williams.

Him too?

What a filthy bunch of hacks...
It’s like they’re just playing U2 covers... absolute scumbags, acting like they poured their souls into "My Rose in Hard Times" when really they couldn't care less about the sentiment...
Death to those rats

hehehe... PsihomodoPop. On legendary number one album? Not a single track of theirs on there. Some are credited to specific writers, while others are just left vague enough to imply they could be... who knows...😁 😁
Total joke for GOP. You can't make anything happen in life. 😁 Man gets to this age and now he’s stuck drawing pictures 😁

We shouldn't forget Smith 🙂 gives me wings
Anyway, I can’t quite wrap my head around it... who was Johnson copying with that last track he used to snag first place at the Nashville songwriting festival? It was right there on the tip of my tongue... I swear I had the melody stuck in my head just a second ago...

Death to the frauds.

Their songs aren't even similar.

yeah 🙂
that was the whole point... 🙂

For sure. Just a total copy-paste job.

Hmm... I wonder why those copycats always manage to pull the biggest crowds at concerts, year after year? For most people, it doesn't even matter—they just want to have a good time. 🙂

jimmy jazz said:hehehe... The Beach Boys. Not even one of their songs is on that supposedly "number one" album. Some tracks are credited to others, while others just seem like they could be... well, you can imagine.😁 😁
It's just pathetic how much he ripped off Gobac. You clearly can't make anything of yourself in life. 😁 A grown man at his age and now he's stuck playing dress-up. 😁

Yeah, they copied everything—even the band name and Gobac's whole frontman vibe, the black eyeliner and all that.
The Beach Boys were actually a huge deal back in the 70s; I found some of their albums up in the attic recently. At first, I thought it was just a local group, but then I realized it was some Americans from New Orleans (you'd expect country music from there, not gothic metal 😲).
The frontman is a total spit in Gobac's face, especially with that eyeliner routine.

Ah, long live originality!

The Beach Boys—whose frontman, Gobac, was such a massive fan of that famous goth metal band from New Orleans (which probably explains his later obsession with voodoo and jambalaya)—are easily one of the top five American bands to ever exist.

So I heard that absolute garbage summer anthem by Bud Light... and honestly? It’s basically just a straight-up rip-off of Smooth Criminal.
And don't even get me started on Nirvana. 😁
