the same chord progressions have been used in tens of thousands of rock'n'roll songs. chord progressions are not patented. plus, if we're talking progressions of five or so chords, it's perfectly possible for two, three, however many artists, to come up with identical progressions independently of having heard the work of the others.

if i looked hard enough i could find numerous works of classical music written for guitar/piano that have parts based around the same progression in stairway. it's not even a particularly unique, interesting, unusual progression. it's quite musically logical and straightforward. somebody might think to do it in mere improvisational work.

How about Yellow Submarine? I hate that ****.

jesus BY QUEEN wtf Freddie

That's a great cover man.

How's about half of the United Abominations album by Megadeth.

There are a few gems on it though, Sleepwalker and Never Walk Alone come to mind!

sleepwalker is a good song. but the vocals are atrocious. i like him and all but he has a sort of Rob Zombie taste to him which i like and dont like all at once. his singing gets old pretty fast.

Megadeth have made some great tracks over the years. PEACE SELLS is still a fine Thrash album.

i really love listening to A Tout Le Monde from the United Abominations album. Its an amazing song and Christina Scabbia is a perfect person to do the song with. I love it so much. I have it on my iPod so i can listen to it alllll the time lol.

and than United Abominations brought them up again.

a little bit more but yeah. but at least they brought themselves back. i saw them live a few months back and there new material live is absolutely amazing and of course they threw in Symphony of Destruction which is easily one of there greatest hits to this time and so forth and what not.
