    I kind of pissed right now. My favorite band is blatantly ripping off Devo:

    How anyone can say otherwise after having a listen needs their head examined.

    Listen to Devo's "Gut Feeling" AT LEAST until the 2 minute mark of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YievWIX9AKk

    Then, listen to "Get Some" from Conan last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9bScneEUOs

    It's as blatant as Jack White/White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" ripoff of seminal Detroit punk rocker Mick Collins and his old band The Gories' "Sovereignty Fight."

    The song is actually called Got Some...check out the embedded player on NBC's site...makes more sense doesn't it? Not like he's saying Get Some throughout the song, but he's saying Got Some.

    I hope the band are away from reviews right now... Even their own fans in fact :) take a breather and not have an episode over negative feedback.

    As I write this... Guess I'll shut up myself and finally log out of this message board for a living! :lol:

    I know he was saying "Got some" throughout the song. I called it Get Some because that's what some credible sites were calling it. I think there are big political undertones with the song and the name of the album. And I love it. Not a fan of Got Some so far though because it reeked of something I'd heard before, and sure enough I found it: Devo.

    It's a carbon copy in my book. As soon as Ed started the chorus over and over, I was wondering if I was listening to a cover song. Seriously.

    The melody, chord structure and lyrical cadence - right down to the same two-word chorus delivery - are exactly alike.

    How apologists try to defend it, i don't know. I've been as big of a fan as anyone else here since 95, and of course I hear lots of other influences/chord structures/etc on other PJ songs, but this one song is blatantly ripped off. Sorry, but it is. And it pains to type that, because I still love the band and I know the album is gonna rock regardless - 99.5 percent of the people who listen will have no idea about Devo.

    It might be political.

    "Are you dropping bombs/Or are you getting out?"

    It will take me a while to digest the meaning. Which is what I love about this band. Which is why I think it is pointless to make a lasting judgment on this song right now.

    We don't even know the real lyrics yet. We don't know the meaning. And that's the thing that always sets a Pearl Jam song apart.

    Just because something sounds like something else doesn't mean it's "ripped off." Give me a fucking break.

    Shall we discuss "Going to California?"

    Discuss away Going To California. You'll be preaching to the choir here though.

    Do you really think they sat down and consciously copied Devo’s material? That’s what blatantly ripped off would be.

    So they might be similar . . . but not intentionally copied as you suggest.

    is Get Some (or Got Some) the same song as what is being called The Fixer?

    or

    is the The Fixer another new song?

    And make no mistake: McCready was upfront about Given To Fly in saying he listened to Going To California over and over and it was an inspiration - whether consciously or subconsciously - for that song. It remains to be seen if Ed or someone in the band credits Devo when they talk about "Got Some". Even Jack White jams with the dude he ripped off for Hardest Button to Button.

    No, Got Some and The Fixer are two songs. The Fixer reportedly is what the band plays in an upcoming Target commercial.
