Do you think that Van Hagar's Up For Breakfast ripped off ZZ Top's Cheap Sunglasses?

As for ROUND AND ROUND by Aerosmith...one of the best songs they ever did!!! So fucking heavy!!

All Sammy does is rip off other people's ideas. The man has no originality, which is why he won't ever be remembered and why you NEVER see anything about him in HISTORY OF ROCK specials. Even histories of 70s or 80s rock always ignore this cunt. God, he sucks. Talentless bum.

Even if you left Sammy's name out, I would've still known who you were referring to!

"It's About Time" does that--manages to rip off Humans Being in the verses and Runaround in the refrain.

I also always though Humans Being was a rip off of Panama in its middle, quiet section.

And while I'm at it I've always thought that Source of Infection was a sad, sad rip off of Sinner's Swing in terms of its rhythms, plus the one part that really sounds a lot like, "And now she's wasting time" to my ears.
