You’re going to have to be the judge of this one, to me it sounds REALLY similar, but I’ve never been good at telling who is ripping off who, and what just sounds like another song (which can happen)

It’s recently come up that Guns N Roses “Sweet Child O Mine” and a song called “Unpublished Critics” by an Australian band Australian Crawl sound VERY similar.

It turns out that Unpublished Critics was released 6 years earlier than the GnR classic which came out in 1981, and catapulted Guns N Roses to stardom.

James Reyne, a member of AUSTRALIAN CRAWL, says that he has no intentions of taking GUNS N’ ROSES to court over the matter.

“It is not inconceivable that there are similarities between the two songs.” “It’s also not inconceivable that when they came out they were quite open in interviews that they liked a lot of Australian bands. It’s also not inconceivable that they wouldn’t have been aware of certain Australian songs. “
