Trey ripping off Pantera
Forums:
Just had this pointed out to me by my metal head friend Ole. It appears that the riff for the Phish song, “Tweezer”, is ripped off from a Pantera song, “Killers”, that was released in 1984.
Hear for yourselves:
Pantera, Killers: https://youtu.be/4dnaYUwe3-U
Phish, Tweezer: https://youtu.be/c2-Tf4T1r2s
Maybe Trey’s admiration of Jimmy Page has gotten a little out of hand.
HUGE if true.

Phish actually ripped off
Phish actually ripped off Lenny Kravitz, Lenny ripped off Dimebag.... (sarcasm alert)
If we want to talk about Farmhouse there are no less than 200 songs that cop the same similar chord progression.
In the end it's about being able to work within the constraints of the guitar to write a good song.

I'm the last guy to defend Phish but the verse is similar with a bit of a change up, then there's the Am part(I only know because I had to play some dreadies wedding last year -- 25 Phish songs...ughh(lol)..) Out of all the derivative players Trey, with obvious influence, is on the low end of ripping off.

Also Ocelot and Alaska are the same song. Trey is a blatant ripper offer, but he's basically the music nerd in all of us who is a prep school dude who can't really write or sing but turned out to be able to play guitar well after working hard at it and was able to use his music training to channel (blatantly) his influences into a band that other hippy prep schoolers loved

No, I think it's more just that Trey is fucking great. Writing songs is a different animal and everybody rips off somebody to one degree or another, but his vision is still his own, and his amazing overall track record of success is undeniable.
Dude is just great.

Daily I drive by that 'hippy prep school' that Trey & a bunch of other successful entitled kids went. In that graduating class Adam Duritz went one way, Trey the complete musical opposite. In the end they both made loads of $$.

This seems like a good time to wag the shamey digit at Bonnie Dobson, who used the chords from I Know You Rider for Morning Dew.
Did the boys ever go from the last chord of Rider straight into the Dew? Too lazy to look it up just now.
