Ari Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Quote Lana Del Rey reveals Radiohead is suing her and want 100% of the publishing rights. They feel like Lust For Life’ album track "Get Free" copied their 1993 hit "Creep." Here are both songs so you can compare them for yourself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I don't like Lana (her personality and voice are amazing but all her songs remember me that I'm depressed ) and I'm not going to lie, I do hear a lot of similarities between both songs but this is a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolaideonfire Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 4 hours ago, camilacabello said: Am I the only one that thinks they don't sound alike at all It's the "This is my commitment, my modern manifesto" part as it sounds like the same melody as when Radiohead sing "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo". Its been an issue since the album was released and a lot of reviews and fans commented on it too. The funny thing is, Radiohead were sued before because Creep sounds like The Hollies song The Air That I Breathe, so is it really Radiohead's place to sue anyone for a similar sounding song? I don't think this will go anywhere, and they should have just accepted Lana's offer of 40% out of court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Pop Girl Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I honestly never realised that they sounded similar until it was brought up, but I actually can hear it personally. I don't blame Radiohead for trying to make a quick buck since they haven't had a hit since 93, but I do think asking for 100% of the publishing when they've admitted that they copied another song (like @coolaideonfire said) is kind of ridiculous. This lawsuit might get them some funds for their retirement but it won't do much for their image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Radiohead deny suing Lana Del Rey Quote Radiohead's publisher, Warner/Chappell, has since issued a statement clarifying its position. "It's true that we've been in discussions since August of last year with Lana Del Rey's representatives," it said. "It's clear that the verses of Get Free use musical elements found in the verses of Creep and we've requested that this be acknowledged in favour of all writers of Creep. "To set the record straight, no lawsuit has been issued and Radiohead have not said they 'will only accept 100%' of the publishing of Get Free." 4 Looks like a mess waiting to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypher Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Radiohead, trying to save the last fleeting second of fame they have by dragging their own name. Bad press is still press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on to read furthermore, and it turned out that she didn't get the song out of her platforms (all the gays who bought Lust for Life still have it anyways ) but also it appears that she didn't have to pay Radiohead anything, luckily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was all a misunderstanding coming from their record label because it seems like Radiohead really didn't know about what was going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
