U2's temper tantrum not so sweet

Posted by: 3AW Radio | 1 September, 2010 - 3:04 PM
The Temper Trap

Share

In legal expert's Stuart Gibson's segment this week he and Denis Walter put it to listeners that popular Temper Trap song 'Sweet Disposition' is, ahem, 'inspired by' U2 classic 'Where The Streets Have No Name'.

Play the comparison of the intros to the songs below and take the poll on the 3AW site .. inspired by or ripped off?

PLAY AUDIO - U2 vs The Temper Trap

Blog comments Your Say

  • yeah u2 should have kept "sweet disposition" on Joshua tree, the album would have been so much....oh wait never mind.

  • In order to be the same both tracks would need to use the same loops that being the same key notes and tones. The two samples you have above are completely different and each peice is original.

    Good try though

  • they both ripped off "jilted john's Gordon is a moron"

    Neil Sunday 5 September, 2010 - 2:02 PM
  • They played the wrong bit its the very start of Where the Streets Have no Name that was ripped of

    Dan Friday 3 September, 2010 - 5:48 PM
  • Think inspired by, is the right description, definitely not the same!
