How gutted and crushed must the Blue Magoos have been to hear the explosive opening bars of Deep Purple's Black Night ringing out from radio and record shops. Purp's fret-melter Ritchie Blackmore had plainly pop-lifted the nippy little lick underpinning the Magoos' 69 garage classic (We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet, literally stealing their heavy metal thunder - buffing, bulking and bullworking it into Purple's mega-metal anthem and international hit.

I've been listening to We Ain't Got Nothing Yet and Deep Purple's Black Night for years and... bloody hell, Hugo Strasser kicks ass over both of them!
And a new podcast = hooray!

You're right I thought my only problem with comm's was pesky Chinese spammers *shakes fist* - but yes your last two have just disappeared!
Blatant plagiarism must be so irritating for musicians?
(& Artists too?)
Especially if theres no credit given, not even an "inspired by"?
we'll I'll be.... never know that one. Outrageous!
A bit influence or inspiration fair enough, bit it's a bit cheeky innit Lil. John Lennon was quite open about where he borrowed bits from though...
Thought it might be a sort of warm up for tomoz P what you reckon?
Top stuff
Why did Richie go all medieval - what a loss of one of the best rock guitarists ever
