    Sometimes these claims have validity but this is a pretty big stretch. There are stylistic similarities but I don't see how you can call this a clear ripoff.

    Like Ed's ripoff of that French song for the guitar for Guaranteed... THAT'S clear. This is most certainly not.

    Can someone tell me what song you are talking about for Guaranteed? I never heard this before

    I don't see a resimblance at all. The older Pearl Jam gets, the better and more original they sound. I'd like to see someone try to "rip off" McCready's sound.

    I was totally amazed at "got some" last night. I have watched it about a dozen more times today!

    Take your crap to Devo's forum. The song is in a major key which would be D major. How many songs do you think in Western music in the last 50 years have been in the same key. Sure the chord progression might be the same but it means nothing. For as ripping off other artist, everyone samples everyone elses style. It's called being influenced. I think if Pearl Jam did sample a Devo song, then Devo should be honored. I listened to the Devo song and "Get Some" blows Devo out of the water. I think the song is great, Pearl Jam still kicks ass, and I am looking forward to seeing them for the 40th time. Peace-Love-Pearl Jam

    Allan Cross did a show on a topic like this a while back. It's definitely worth looking up if you get a chance. He compares a lot of songs by other bands, and he goes through some cases that actually ended up in lawsuits.

    Some of them are:
    Offspring/Beatles
    Chillie Peppers/Tom Petty
    Nickleback/Nickleback

    A lot of pearl jam songs have been influenced by others:
    Bushleaguer - I believe in Miracles
    Ledbetter - Little Wing
    Given To Fly - Goin' to Callifornia
    I Got Shit - Cinamon Girl
    Got Some - That Devo Song?
    Footsteps - Times of Trouble (doesn't really count)

    For some reason I feel like this list is missing something, but I can't put my finger on it???

    the problem i have with the whole 'devo rip-off' thing is why would PJ choose to go out and perform a song 'they knew' they ripped off on a show they knew would have a massave audience?

    i can just see the conversation now...

    ed: any ideas what we can play for conan?
    mike: what about that devo song we ripped off?
    matt: yea, i kinda like that idea. i show that i still have talent in that one.
    ed: ummmmm, yea...but we have all these other songs that we didn't rip-off. why not try to be original, it's mostly worked for us so far.
    jeff: fuck it. i love drama. let's play the devo song.
    stone: whatever. i'm combing my hair.

    Pearl Jam SHOULD cover 'Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy'.
    ...
    or 'Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA'.

    only thing I'm hearing similar is the upswing in the vocals on the chorus.......

    wouldn't say its a ripoff, but they do sound similar for that moment. Doubt there is any connection.

    There is a clear difference -the Devo song sucked, and PJs was good. :D

    who gives a shit?

    No guitarist in this world who has wrote a riff since 1969 can't say that Tony Iommi didnt write it first, there is only so many notes in the musical spectrum.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}
