White Stripes Rip off the BJM?

Anton Newcombe from the Brian Jonestown Massacre claims that the White Stripes ripped off his sound. Anyone agree?

Brian Jonestown Massacre invented bluesy garage rock?

He would...

I don't think they sound anything alike. The White Stripes have a more of a garage sound and Brian Jonestown Massacre have more of a Psychedelic/Folk sound. This sounds like Anton being a narcisist and blaming ****ty bands for taking his style just to get attention.

This Anton guy is an idiot and this is probably a pathetic attempt to get attention. They don't sound alike that much... at all. And like Urban said he was not the first one to invent Garage Rock.

Never heard of them, but whenever people start yelling about how X ripped off their stuff, they better mean a certain riff or a song or something. "GOD GUYS, I WAS THE ORIGINAL GARAGE ROCK BAND. FUÎCK OFF."

It's ridiculous.

edit: Holy sh‎it how'd that weird I get made
