RushFanForever Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) I wonder if BU2B was musically inspired by 'Bulls On Parade' by Rage Against The Machine? There's a similar musical vibe between both songs. Edited September 29, 2017 by RushFanForever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I highly doubt it. In fact I'm pretty positive its a coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticklight Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) That's an interesting comparison but it's unlikely that BU2B was inspired by Bulls On Parade. The vibe you're talking about may sound similar only because both songs use a riffage of 1-2 notes in the verses (F + octave in BOP and E + G in BU2B), however BU2B has a different rhythmic feel and vibe in the verses. Not to mention the choruses in it, which are way more complex and also have a heavy minor scale feel in them, as opposed to BOP.

J2112YYZ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Never made the connection before but there is a slight similarity in the main riff. I doubt Rush took any inspiration from it since that song was released in the 90s and Rush's musical influences have always been more contemporary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Since the structure in alot of rock songs are actually pretty simple, there's many songs that sound similar to each other. How many rocks songs follow a EGA chord pattern? tons. Edited September 29, 2017 by HemiBeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I must admit that when I first heard BU2B I thought where have I heard that riff before?Don't Care from Victor ?No not quite.Then one day I had shuffle on my iPod in the car and Bulls on Parade followed a couple of songs after BU2B.Yes there is a similarity.But are we going to have a Spirit/Zeppelin scenario here with Taurus/Stairway.Let's not go there.As a musician I know it is so hard to come up with anything totally original.

GabesCavesOfIce Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 All I have to say here: Bulls on Parade is a much better song than BU2B. Agreed. However, recently watched a live band cover bu2b, and it rawked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Considering RUSH's history of assimilating to musical trends as well as integrating stylistic elements of bands they listen to, I'm willing to best that RAGE is one of those influences for BU2B, if not the song "Bulls..." specifically.
