Diamond on a Landmine/Cut Me Up Jenny/Roxanne

[Hentaiman]

So I just came upon these similarties of Billy Talent's "Diamond on a Landmine" to The Police' "Roxanne" and Taking Back Sunday's "Cut Me Up Jenny". In the verse at least, it sounds all exactly the same!

Billy Talent - Diamond on a Landmine

The Police - Roxanne

Taking Back Sunday - Cut Me Up Jenny

Tell me if you guys see the similarities.

yeah I hear it Roxanne and Dimond on a landmine are the same on one part almost identical except for the guitar sound. Cut me up Jenny riff is a little different but it's still similar a little.

Yeah, in Cut Me Up Jenny I find it more similar in the beat and rhythm of the bass and drums, even though the guitar is a little different.

i do see a similarity.....but i mean, maybe they did it on purpose? as a praising of those bands?
lolidk, but i do see the similarities

Yeah, I could see this being a tribute to the Police and such. With the TBS song, I guess or they copied it or it was unintentional, I mean, Billy Talent III and New Again were recorded around the same time.

I actually think that Pocketful of Dreams' verse is also like Cut Me up Jenny.
