The Wildhearts

Anyone know of any songs/parts of songs that sound like Wildhearts tracks?

Ones I am aware of are -

Drenched in Blood by TurboNegro = chorus similar to JUST IN LUST

Stories by Therapy? = Riff pinched from SHAME ON ME
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flDRlrsK1cI

Snakedriver by Jesus and Mary Chain = Sounds like PISSJOY (think WH song came after)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frMcFDL4Tn8

Sometime to Return by Soul Asylum = I think I read somewhere Ginger saying the WH stole a riff from this track but I can't hear it.

Horse Called War by Pride and Glory = CHANNEL BOP riff at start.

Sorry about the download, but it's unlikely to ever surface in public again for reasons that will become increasingly obvious.

I know what this is going to be without even downloading it, so I'm not going to.

Yeah I always though that about Stories, but that fucking J&MC song... thats so funny, it's almost a carbon copy...

We forgot Chelsea Dagger, not that I'm gunna insult you by posting a link...


...I'm furthermore not going to insult you by suggesting what it sounds like...

FOr the love of god where the hell did this come from and who are they?

It should ask you for the password, which is 'tattyheid' - it's the name of the text file in the folder, which you should be able to see when you click start the unzip process.

I have heard that before, form this board. It;'s very funny, what's the story here?

Who are these guys?

J& MC - Jesus and Mary Chain?

At the tail end of 2005, in the lull between the Scarborough gig and Valor... coming out, Trudi was informed by Twinkle (he's gothbotherer on here) that there was a band on Myspace called Active M (don't bother looking - they're gone now) who had a song that we might be interested in hearing. Trudi had a listen, was duly shocked and stunned, and dropped it onto the LiST for us to get our teeth into.

After a few of us joined their messageboard and pointed out the similarities, they firstly denied all prior knowledge of the WH; called it coincidence, and promptly booted anyone who tried to mention it again. Their first response to someone posting a link to Weekend being:

"had to delete that, The Active M song has already been recorded, and yes it is gettign a release, and yes it will be featured on MTV next year.

So I'll not have any attempts at 'prior' knowledge being established on these forums." [sic]

The 'prior knowledge' defence becomes less than convincing when faced with the evidence that a) One of the two songwriters used to play in a band called Urge, and b) he mentions Plan A, Backyard Babies and The Yo-Yo's in the same post on their board - it's difficult to not at least brush up against The Wildhearts when you're circling that close.

Shortly after, their site began to experience 'technical difficulties' and 'data loss' and was locked down, only to resurface with the only data lost being any and all references to a song called Let Me Down 2047. The song was swiftly removed from their Myspace player too, fortunately not before a quick thinking Listee grabbed a copy of it for, erm, 'evidence'.

More correspondence took place, culminating in a message from their management stating:

"Thnaks for letting us know, we are investigating this, and as it turns out, some of the melody for this song was in fact written by a former member of the band. If it is that close, that people believe it to be a medley, then it will be changed. But we really need to get in touch with the former stonehead guitarist, and find out just what is was that he one on. But rest assured, it will be changed." [sic, again]

So now it wasn't written by the two songwriters in the band who had claimed it, but the stoner who had left. Hmmm?

Then Valor... came out, and we didn't care any more.

If you've got the willpower, you can read the whole saga starting here. You can pretty much finish when Kev gets drunk on Cider.

V-Day. It's more apparent towards the end of the song.

Ginger was asked about that on the site, someone asked- was it a blatant rip-off or just coincidence and he answered "blatant coincidence!".

Ean, thanks for story behind the other track, I am glad they didn't get away with that one.

Cheers Ean mate

And oh my god, what a total rip off song!!!

I always thought that 'D.O.A.' by The Foo Fighters had a bit of Wldheartedness going on but maybe it's just me.
