Oh yeah for sure mate. I'm aware of "Harmonia" through a friend who was a big "Cluster" fan. I didn't know about the steal though.Wolter wrote: ↑16 Apr 2021, 1:55pmI was agreeing.

The thing for me regards borrowing/stealing is how much I personally enjoy the the final outcome. If something is executed well then I don't much care where the artist got his idea from. Nearly all the bands I like have pinched ideas/riffs/lyrics from elsewhere.

I should be clear: I love both Red Sails and Monza as songs. He stole an awesome bit of music.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Apr 2021, 2:18pmOh yeah for sure mate.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
Agree, didn't mean to slag off Red Sails, it was Bowie's or Eno's or somebodys music originally but he never played Red Sails live he did play Sister Midnight. Regardless an awesome song and one of the greats in the canon of rock music.
Iggy's lyrics and the music are pure legend. I love both songs but Sister Midnight is beyond reproach

Reminds me of an anagram project I did using old library cross-reference index cards. The project was called "undexed". I did a Bowie one:

We are lucky to have shared the planet with DB, though even now that's he's left Earth behind...
