You know that song by Nirvana, "Come as You Are"?
Did you know that these guys considered suing them over the song due to copying the guitar riff? What's more, according to Danny Goldburg, Nirvana's manager, actually went on record stating that Kurt Cobain was very nervous about releasing "Come as You Are" because it sounded so similar to the riff in "Eighties" by Killing Joke from 1984, just slowed down. It never actually went anywhere in the courts, especially after Cobain's death. Dave Grohl of Nirvana would actually later record drums for Killing Joke's 2003 album "Killing Joke".
Take a listen and tell me if you think Nirvana copied it.
