I noticed how similar the intros are to In-Ah and Chords of life with Joe Satriani.

Oh god damnit, I know dev wouldnt steal melodies like coldplay, but shit. I mean obviously thats a typical progression but still, and it isnt the main melody so I think I can deal with it

Inevitably there will be similarities in any two given songs. I presented a song I recently recorded to a friend and he told me the chords in the chorus were ripped off from an Assemblage 23 song, and damn it, he was right. Even though I hadn't heard the song in months.

Yeah, can definitely see (hear!) the similarity, but this would happen all the time....

Proof of that is in the Youtube discussion for the Satch track - people claiming he's "ripping off" Jimi Hendrix! We're all influenced etc. etc.

We are running out of notes =)

The lead melody in one of my songs sounds almost identrical to a segment of a Niel zaza song wich I had never heard.

Guessing we will have to what M.A.N will do on their next album and start playing with quarter tone instruments =)

The Day That Never Comes by Metallica has a virtually identical intro to the Joey and Dev song too.

the first thing i thought of when hearing ih-ah was that it was a pretty generic chord progression and that i was sure i heard at least a handful of songs that sound very similar to it, though i couldn't think of a specific example. but hey, one generic song out of 300 or so isn't bad.

I think Mika - We are Golden sound a bit like Ih-Ah too..

Mika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEhutIEUq8k&feature=fvst About 2:30 in the song

update on the M.A.N myspace using quarter tone instruments =)
