fandangamoq said:"In God's Country" is stolen from Echo & The Bunnymen's "The Back Of Love"
"Guitar" is stolen from "I Will Follow"
So in theory, U2 is even. Now Prince owes a kick ass lick to Echo & The Bunnymen

AtomicBono said:dude are people still worried about it? it's two chords! get over it

No... it's two chords and the truth!!!

You have got to be kidding me I'm a musician....the riff in Vertigo sounds nothing like any part of "Dirty Boots" ,rehashed or otherwise ...it's safe to assume that connection is in your head and no one else's
Now Zeppelin REALLY ripped off a few artists,that has been established many times

gabrielvox said:oh for crissakes
transcribe the notes, i dare someone.
newsflash: they are NOT the same.
AND Prince is playing three notes, whereas IWF riff is two
give it up, it's only the tone that is similar
if it reminds you of IWF, fine, great, but don't go accusing an IMMENSELY accomplished genius of stealing when clearly he has not ever needed to, does not need to, and never will need to
gman said:Am sure I read, way back in the mid 80s, that Prince had done some work with Edge but the result had been put away in a lil purple vault for a rainy day. Anyone else recall this?
