Andrew Lloyd Webber plagiarizes from Pink Floyd

Post by scooter »

"Yeah, the beginning of that bloody Phantom song is from Echoes. *DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da*. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. It's the same time signature—it's 12/8—and it's the same structure and it's the same notes and it's the same everything. Bastard. It probably is actionable. It really is! But I think that life's too long to bother with suing Andrew fucking Lloyd Webber." -- Roger Waters :rant:

This has been another bit of brain shrapnel from...

ALW was so young when that came out and too high most of the time that he probably doesn't even remember where he cribbed that from. I'm sure he thinks he came up with it from his genius little brain *rolls eyes*. Honestly, that man hasn't come up with an original thought post-Evita.
