even mr Vai did it once by accident

skip to 4:55 ... see if you recognise the tune...

Why did you make me listen to a guy with out of tune guitar. I sent him a letter and told him about these great new guitars that tune up on their own. No more sour notes from this random dude. Phew...

After listening to that crap I can't believe anyone with half a brain would consider him a master at anything besides sucking! That was terrible on a grand and epic scale!

Without Hendrix, Jemsite probably wouldn't exist.

I came up with that same riff on the low E string in A Phrygian you hear in 'One robot's dream' many years before 'Super colossal' came out. It's true.

I've also written a song that sounds like 'Starry night', 'If I could fly' and 'Until we say goodbye' all rolled into one.

But I don't mind. I don't throw anything away unless it's exactly the same as something else.

Defiatly don't chuck em... I once accidentally re-wrote a metal-ed up version of 'we wish you a merry christmas' ... luckily no-one in the band (or anyone else for that matter) noticed. With different vocals/melody on top it can be pretty hard to tell sometimes.

Yeah, I'm not throwing them away. I'm very happy with them. I bet there's plenty of examples out there of 'original' songs that bear resemblances to other ones.
