I noticed this. I also thought "Dani California" was a little too close both sonically and lyrically to "Californication," but it's impossible to plagiarize yourself.

not true, john fogerty was accused of plagerizing himself for 2 different record labels

I thought the guitar solo in Dani California was an aweful lot like Purple Haze by Hendrix.

This is stupid.

First off, they are clearly speeding up the tempo on Mary Jane to match that of RHCP's. Furthemore, this is just stupid.

You mean the solo in RHCP is similar to the riff, right? Yeah, I hear that.

He's really only using the first 4 notes, and then doing his own lick, and repeating the process a couple times. I wouldn't consider it blatant plagiarism because that lick uses one hand position over 3 strings and is used in the solo. It's not a riff or anything. Also, that lick just happens to sound great.

This could be done with 10,000 other songs as well. I would like someone to actually play those songs side by side in their natural state, not like they are in this clip. the guy says "even the drums and bass match up" yeah, well, it's because you changed the speed of the song to do so.

It's manipultive.

This was one of the first things I noticed.

BTW, the Tom Petty song doesn't seem to match up that much. It sounds like they sped up MJLD.
