Australian Crawl – “Unpublished Critics” (Australia EMI) 1981

Sweet Child of mine sounds a bit to similar to be a coincidence I would say.
Maybe not a straight rip off but they might have heard it and subconsciously channeled it into Sweet Child of mine.

Would be fun if @RickBeato made a side by side comparison 😃

I mean I can hear some elements in sweet child o mine.... I'd say some influence. But plagiarism? Idk man.

I wonder where I’ve heard this before… oh yeah, wasn’t this a Guns N’ Roses song called sweet child o mine? I think it was 😂 😂 (all jokes aside, I know this is an original and sweet child came after it)

Axl Rose never sounded this good?

Underbone "Sweet child o' mine" ❤❤❤

Really close to Sweet child o mine

calling this a resemblance to a rock god anthem is the equivalent of claiming chris rock looks like fucking donald trump. there's more resemblance between rape and love than there is between the god track and THIS untalented garbage coattail riding guttertrash fucking TRIPE 🙄

I would never confuse this with sweet child of mine. There’s only so many chords to play. There’s always going to be similarities.

The vocals; pitch and timing, seem like more of a ripoff than the guitar riff.

2024 👉

It may sound familiar to sweet child o mine but it is not the same after hearing this I can say it has some similarities in a way but I don’t think Gnr stole it from theses guy and I do believe slash created the riff we all know today for sweet child plus it doesn’t really sound like sweet child o mine either I can hear different songs with the same notes played on this song but I do not believe Gnr stole it.

Aussie Crawl the anthem of 80s Australia

Great song, but my god good luck figuring out the lyrics! I always liked this song but the only bit I could ever figure out was the 'holding on the line' bit. James really doesn't sing in english.

Australia is beautiful, i dont care about sweet child of yours,

WTF.. PROFESSOR OF ROCK.. I THINK HE'S RIGHT!!!

Another regular at the Stardust in Cabramatta ,also work with another Band that toured with Aussie crawl .Remember a gig at Bombay Rock when the goods left broke down ,so all the other Band crews help unload a TNT Semi Trailer full of gear up 3 flights of stairs ,

Whistling the vocals of Sweet Child I find that it goes with the music very very well.

Even better with the 80' surf video

Back when Australia wasn't screwed over by government proganda and we had some freedom in our lives, just classic Aussie Surf rock laid back the way we should be.

How Aussie can you get with this classic Surf Video Clip.

Classic Aussie swell.

100% case for a lawsuit!
May have been slash's solo but this is far to similar to be a coincidence.
Pay up gnr !

Axl stole it

The simple fact that the GNR version gives you goosebumps and this does not.(Unbiased Opinion)

Uncredited songwriters 😄

Música de verdade

If they used the lawyers that the marvin gaye estate uses they would be able to claim all those sweet child royalties for sure. Those lawyers managed to win the case because the song was "in the style of" a marvin gaye song! (in regards to blurred lines being similar to a marvin gaye song...)

Lyrics:

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh, sweet child of mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Ouvindo a musica deu para perceber que houve plagio por oarte da banda norte americana Guns roses , eles copiaram e criaram i sucesso Sweet Child o Mine

Total ripoff of GNR.

Well well well. Seems Axl is a plagiarist.

Some say that it doesn't look like a sweet child or mine XDXDXD when they last exactly the same, they have the same pauses, accents, and cuts in the rhythms, the progress is the same in all the verses and the worst thing is that some say "I AM A MUSICIAN" XDXDXDXD please even a deaf person notices ( now they just need to say that this 1 toneor lower and that's why it's not the same) where ever, it's the same old song

Tipycal Australian surf music

Guns still took the song to a way better level. Good on these guys for laying the groundwork.

Guns bebeu demais dessa fonte.
