good artists borrow, great artists steal... for what it's worth, they pull it off... in other words, not really stealing as far as copyrights go... kind of ironic too, since Keith made a career doing this same thing to Chuck Berry!

I'm not very litigious, but I did post a comment on YT listing the songs mentioned on this thread so far.
If there are any more tunes ya'll can think of, I'll update my comment there.

Let's see what happens. :areyoufuckingserious

Some No Expectations in there too.

Who the fuck are they? That's clear copying. I would beat them senseless with a rubber mallet if I had the opportunity.

I heard this song on the radio yesterday...almost shit myself and swerved into a ditch...well, not really...but stared blankly at the road for the 3 minutes wondering "WTF"?!?

I heard these cats on Sirius XM once or twice. Sounds like a bunch of young dudes who idolize the Stones. I say we need more rock and roll like this and less top 40 nonsense. I like it.

Looks like my comments have been removed from that video on YT.
Can someone who posts videos on YT selectively remove comments he/she doesn't like?

Also got this e-mail from the poster: >>If you find a super similarity between "The Soledad Brothers" and "The Rolling Stones" that is absolutely fine by me but was pressing that dislike button really necessary? It was a rather mean thing to do, in my opinion.<<

Actually, I didn't press the dislike button, but wish I had thought about doing so.
Apparently this poster isn't familiar with the Stones if he/she can only speculate a "similarity" in what is heard.

It appears to be a 23-year old girl from New Zealand who posted that video. She blamed me for "disliking" the vid.

Maybe she knows colonial! :nanker

I guess I'm really shocked by you guys... I forget you're not music snobs. I have been listening to this band for a long time, I have a bunch of thier albums... I guess I should be making fun of you guys for not knowing about them sooner, and that they love The Stones... like I said, this isn't a rip off... it's clear repsect and influence.... just like The Stones do themselves... Regardless, with all the crap music out there, and people always bitching, you guys should be glad a band like thisa even exists. Support them, don't trash them... look at the top 40... there's little to no rock... jeeez!!! wonder why?

Soledad Brothers broke up a few years ago. Read it in Music Snob.

And that song's about ten years old...

that's fucked I didn't know that... I still dig the 3 albums I have... did you know that or find it out after I posted, if you knew it, you are def. super snobby. I might have heard and would've forgotten it. One of the albums I have by them has a 2006 date on it and I thought it was anew release then, but my brain is fuzzy... maybe it was some kind of re-issue. i also have one on Estrus (i think) made in Canada... with bands like this, releases get confusing!

I listen to what I listen to...as does everyone else.

Ain't the first time I've gotten worked up over nuthin' ! :loloncemore

WOW!! At least she apologized for seeming "harsh"...probably just too young to know the Stones songs to know what you were referring to...poor kid...LOL

I'm going to find these alleged "Soledad" brothers, whose name even sickens me, and smack the ever-loving piss out of them. I find this egregious, vexatious, contumacious, and repugnant. Emphasis on repugnant.

I really think our energy would be better used getting rid of Justin Bieber vids, and not a really good rock and roll band...
